I spent most of my lifetime giving away 25% of my net income. I have given away a couple of K out here in fact.

I prefer things that have a chance of lasting a lifetime. I still use things given to me in the 60's.

Will you be my new best friend? Haha. Totally kidding.

I think the provari is great. I used a loaner for a week. What's given me a bad taste is the attitude that goes along with it. When I started vaping a year ago I didn't want to spend tons of money. I would say things like " I have $75 to spend should I get this or that?" The answer I received the most was.......you guessed it, a Provari. I even see people asking what eGo they should buy and they get the same answer I did, a provari. That is so freaking annoying. It's like provari owner(some) don't listen to what you want but tell you what they think you need. I've known people like that I'm my life. I no longer associate with any of them.

I can't remember seeing such threads. Can you post links to them?

Best I can tell the primary difference between a Provari and some other PV's is "quality of the materials", "great support", "great warranty", and things like that. I see nothing that directly relates to the vaping experience. That is unless you are using some cheap device with some sort of "rattlesnake" problem. From what I understand the iTaste SVD and even some newer Vamo's are using newer chips that do not have this problem. So what does a Provari bring to the actual vaping experience that those don't? How exactly would my vaping experience be improved for $200? I am asking because I really would like to know.

The first part of your post gives reason enough to choose a Provari over some other mods.

The vast majority of mods use the 33.3 Hz "rattlesnake chip". The Provari, iTaste V3, and iTaste MVP use a better chip which many say gives an improved vaping experience.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/488840-rattlesnake-effect-why-cheapo-vv-exception-itaste-mvp-dont-vape-same-provari-dna20d.html

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/381232-provari-oscope-vs-vamo.html

I've not read of the SVD or Vamo having improved their chips. Please provide a link to support this.

If this is not enough to convince you, then pick out one of the previous Provari threads at the end of this blog in the link below:

Why Provari?

You may want to do a quick search about MVP issues- power buttons falling off, no longer holding a charge...

Would like to note, that my first mvp2 died three days after i owned, it cost me $70, turn around and found one for $40 then decided ill be screwed if it died too, so i bought two provari's, because if one breaks i can have it repaired on the cheap. I still havnt found any one able to fix my first mvp2.

Oh, no! Your MVP has issues. You send it back and get another one, OR, if it's past warranty, you buy another one (and a backup just in case) and are still a good $80 under the cost of a Provari and batteries.

For every person that has issues with their MVP there are 50 that don't.

I was not able to send mine back. I had it only three days.

See this is the whole point, the monkey guy turned this thread mean. I own both the mvp2 and the provari, like them both.
No one here has said that the provari was the end of all awesomeness to vaping.
Also i have not been able to find one legitimate post about the provari being unfixable.
I have tho heard of provari fixing batteries for free or close to free, drop it in the tub and if it doesnt fire, they fix it. Break off a 510 connection, they fix it. Those are all ive found.

I think the mvp2 is a fine device and reccomend it alot around here. But you have to understand it is not repairable.
The only crap ive come across are egos but some ppl love those too. Fine by me.
There is no need to be mean just because opinions differ.

Stop being mad, stop foaming.
I can not imagine some one buying 7 provaris because they are crap. Makes me wonder about your mental stability.

And another thing,
When my mvp2 died on me and i was out here asking questions about a reliable device... Some one mentioned the provari, i could be wrong but i think it was baditude, i said no no its way too expensive. Then i started reading a bit on the provari,masked more questions. I ended up buying it, still skeptical.

I AM SO GLAD THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS LOOKING FOR A CHEAP MOD THAT SOME ONE SAID HEY LOOK INTO THE PROVARI I BELIEVE IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

point is, who cares if some one suggests a provari just because you dont think they should. I am thankful every day that some one brought it up to me. Afterall its just one more of many options out there, and i think most people with half a brain would agree its better to make your own decisions knowing all your options.

I have ended up buying everything baditude reccomended to me on my third day on this forum, its just a shame that i spent $1800 before i headed his advice. Most of the time i use my provari with my ibtanks.
If im not using my provari i use my mvp2 with smok dct tanks.

This is my vape heaven.
I also have a chi you clone and am thinking of the king clone. I like the bottom button and i like my rda's.
I also like that i can use my provari batteries in them.

Right now i have enough battery life i only charge batteries once a week which is totally awesome btw.
2 1/2 on my mvp alone. Getting ready to bling mine out with carbon pink.
I also love how the mvp fits in cell phone pockets that most bags and purses have. And it fits great in the back pocket.
I also like that if it dies on me out and about i can plug it in my car and vape away.
I dont like that i have to adjust the center pin when i change tanks almost every time.
Never had a centerpin issue with my provari.
But my provarimdoesnt fit well in my pocket and since its round i dont prefer to take it out as its constantly falling off tables and counters.
I think there are many great mods out there.
But i also think that people need to be nicer when their opinions differ.

Provari doesnt give out commision checks. Probably a good thing they dont. So its not like any one has a hidden agenda in reccomending one.

I just dont see the point in being mean.

And why is it that when some one owns a provari they get grouped in this wierd category?
I dont understand, i thought ecf was about helping each other out.
Getting off cigarettes. Having support. Learning about options that are out there.
I dont understand the hate. I really dont.
I visit the provari and the mvp2 threads a lot. Every one on both sides are nice and helpful, they dont look at me and say oh you own a mvp2 go away. On the mvp2 thread, their not like oh thats a provari in your hand lets call her names and throw stones at her.

I just dont get why you cant vape with your vape and be cool.
What does it matter if some one likes their mod. Cuz it should be a great thing.
