This is stupid.
I have 4 provaris and 5 DNA 30's. The screens on the dna's are, in fact, prettier. It is true that it could be a bit easier adjusting the power levels on the dna's.
All of the DNA devices I have are less than 2 months old. 3 of them have had to go back for various problems. 1 had a burned out screen segment (authentic evolv) 1 that constantly showed Too Hot (authentic evolv) and one started smoking out of the charging port (cana box)
All of my provaris are over a year old. One of them had to be sent back after I ruined the chip during reassembly following a refinishing job.
They do exactly what I bought them to do... every time. The dna's are used for something else... things the provari won't do. I would be amazed if any of them lasted a whole year and equally amazed if my provaris broke.
Have to agree with this.
I know Asbesto's and have vaped on one of his Vaporshark DNA30's. I also know about the returns he has had to make to Vapershark due to the problems he has had with that DNA 30 and other devices. I also know that Vaporshark has been very good about the problems and have replaced his problem units. (3 months warranty?)
We sometimes laugh about our Provaris because they never break. Make jokes like "what was Provape thinking making something like this?" "They must be un American making stuff that doesent break". ..... or when it falls out of the truck on to the pavement, its like "Its ok..it was just the ProVari"
With all that said, I have 5 Provaris in my household (3 vapers) (as well as others) and I ve just ordered 2 Vaporshark DNA30's today. One for me and one for the wife. They are so very very small and thats what interested the wife so I just ordered two. She stealth vapes at work and was the reason for getting them.
An OLED screen is nice, and hope it will not go wonky on me like Asbesto's did. I read that juice and an OLED dont like each other, no experience there though
Were a bit old school so we use Variable Volt mode normally, so dont really care if its VW. I also do not expect these units to last more than a year, although theres always hope, but with the track record Ive read about and heard from vaping friends, I just dont expect it.
I have a little bit of extra disposable income so I may buy a new device from time to time. My last were a pair of Semovar full kits at 309.00 currently selling used for about 140.00 to 180.00. This has been the only device that has been as dependable as the Provari, but they have error issues the ProVari does not, but are built as well it seems..... so they will also have to take a back seat to a ProVari as far as dependability in my mind. Its a matter of taking a batty out and putting it back in.
These mods, they are what they are, but none as far as an APV is concerned have been as dependable and consistant as the ProVaris I have in my experience.
I probably wont even buy the new one because the 2.5's do every thing I need one to do.
