every person's needs are varied ... I bought a $100 eVic because it was the best unit available where I purchased from ... if the guy had a Provari, I probably would have bought that.
At the time, I was not a member on ECF and did not know much about eCigs ... I just knew, I didn't want something cheap that would fall just shy of helping me quit smoking.
The eVic has been a champ and did the job with kicking smokes to the curb ... however, I also care for it the same as I do a cell phone.
After 2 months here on ECF, I still have not figured out why someone would own 2 Provaris (or 2 of the same BMW for that matter) ... owning 2 Cats or 2 Dogs (I get that) ... they must have more expendable money than the people I know in my life.
I honestly do not expect this eVic to stop doing the job any time soon (17,498 puffs on it's puffometer) ... if and when it does die, I will get another premium device ... my emergency backup consists of an extra $12 battery for the eVic and a Blu kit
