whats so great about provari?

[powerband]

Nice! Happy B-Day man!

 

[Bimini Twist]

Thrown in for free? How about if they raise the price and tell you it's free? Not much good for the folks that don't want one, but . . .

 

[Technonut]

Yup I stand corrected on the material. Now if it were machined aluminum It might be worth $20 bucks, should still be thrown in free.
Being stainless we're back to the fiddy cent number again LOL!

Tell us which USA-based machine shop would make you one for that cost?

 

[PLANofMAN]

Yup I was wrong on the cap. I stand corrected.
my Vamo V5 came with an extension tube, it was free. was just saying provape should also include this free and not a $20buck option, don't you agree?

When the stainless steel Vamos came out I bought two. $40 each, ProVari killas...
One died in the first month I owned it. The next day I bought a used ProVari.

5 months later the second Vamo died. That's $80 I have nothing to show for but 0.50 cents worth of scrap steel.

The ProVari? It's now 3 years old and still going strong. So $20 (for an extension) vs. $80 (for two dead mods)...easy choice.

 

[powerband]

Yup thrown in for free, the part is not that big of a deal.
Well its been fun Guys/Gals
Enjoy the Provaris and when they upgrade it(hopefully V3) I'll buy one and be back to join ya all!
Best Regards!

You might be disappointed to hear this, but the brand, spanking new Margaritaville in Destin, FL told us that vaping is against company policy. The bartenders didn't say anything, but a passing waitress did and a manager confirmed it. We walked out in a huff (and a puff). I won't be going there again.

That IS disappointing. Boo on them.

Sounds good. And enjoy your Vamos! I enjoyed mine while they lasted.

 

[p.opus]

well then I guess that justifies $20 bux don't ya think... still should be free for what they charge for the unit

Yep....exactly like I was....Focus on a missing feature (variable wattage), missing accessory (extension cap or 510 to ego adapter), or outdated display to justify to yourself why it's not worth it for you and why everyone else is wrong.

Then you spend 20 minutes with it in your hand, comparing it to your existing mod. Vaping both side by side and pretty soon you end up walking out with one.

Please show me where ProVape is selling anything aluminum?

I was quite the ProVari agnostic. I was happy with my 2 MVP's and my Sigelei Zmax v3.

I went to a vape convention and spent some quality time with a ProVari and took it home with me. I am WELL aware of the flaws of the unit and took it home despite that fact.

Why?

It's strengths outweighed the flaws. It is a hell of a solidly built piece of equipment. It vapes and vapes very well. And it feels nice in my hands. I bought it with the extension cap. I love it for home use.

The reason we don't address questions like yours is that we've addressed them countless times before.

And my answer is the same....as Pbusardo's...."Well, I have one....I have held one...I have used one...and alls I can say is...Now I get it."

If you haven't held one or used one, then no one expects you to understand.

BTW....In all the reviews he's done since the ProVari, there has not be ONE review he's done that says "It's better than a ProVari"

When he was in Tampa, even though he was sporting a ZNA (Zen was at the vape convention)... He still had his ProVari.....On him.

And he and Dimitris did say on a recent video, that if someone robbed all of his vape gear, then the device he would spend his OWN money to replace was a Kayfun and ProVari....

Not bad for such a flawed device.

Calm down p.opus, you've only been a ProVari owner for less than a week...remember..."things I hate about the ProVari," what about the ego threads, the airflow channels, the clunky menu?

Edit: you managed to beat me.

There is no free lunch. Working around machine shops and also receiving quotes, I've seen single pieces with about the same detail as an end cap costing well over $100. Worth it? If that $100 part is cheaper than replacing a 4 $20,000 circuit breakers and a $15,000 enclosure, yes it is. Now the mass produced end cap probably costs ProVapes $10 to produce... But they also have overhead and yes, they do need to make a profit (or they become a charity)

I bought the end cap, however with the life I'm seeing with the 18490, I may not even use it often. Likewise, there are some who would never want/need it. Could they include it $free? Yes, but that would cut into their bottom line, which helps fund the support and R&D to progress. To avoid that, they could send it free to everyone with purchase, however the price for a ProVari would have to increase. So is it worth it to make everyone pay for something that maybe 20% of the users at most are going to use? Not really.

I do agree that it is pricy. And if worth it to you, is up to you. But to say it is "gouging" is a stretch of any truth or reality. Gouging is generally referred to abnormal price hikes of essential items in time of crises. But ponder this. If gas stations didn't gouge at $20/gallon during a say hurricane evacuation, you would have the first person there pulling up with mega tanks, and cleaning the station out, and leaving everyone else stranded (or the person would buy the gas station out, and resell the gas themself at $100/gallon when station is sold out). But I digress


As I was once told- an item only has a $ value if someone is willing to pay that for it. And with that, if you like a ProVari and it's worth the price to YOU, great. If it's not, that is fine as well. No need to be hateful about it, and unless you are a shill for another company, there is nothing to gain by spreading lies, and hate to dissuade someone from making their own choices.

That's not all you walked out with... you also walked out with the confidence that you'd made the right choice for you, and a future of having to deal with people here constantly telling you why you are wrong.

 

[Glenn_K]

Oh, no...you're not getting out of here that easy. I think the ProVarinati night shift (including me) is just coming on line. We got pages of replies to go, before we're through with you.

When's tina coming back? At least she was distracting some people from provari wars for 5mins.

I think she's being chicken

P opus, I Never said anyone was wrong, funny how you guys put words in my mouth, guess it helps your argument. typical

If that impressed you...
I got to feeling sorry for the anti-Provarinati people. They don't have anything to identify themselves. So I made them a signature too!
