Why do so many people dislike Provari's?

I think you'll find a lot of Provari owners also thought that guy was over the top. If we all based our opinions of a group of product owners on the occasional comments of an individual, there's not a mod on this forum that would escape unscathed.
The Provari fanboys are like the Glock Fanboys of the gun world and it will turn you away from them
I am not the car that I drive, it is just a car.
I am not the house that I live in, it may be small, or it may be large.
I am not the things that I own, they are just things, some useful and some not.
I am an ex smoker, and want to remain so. I feel better physically, and emotionally now. It seems as if using e-cigs has lessened the harm that I was doing to my body.
I come here to learn, what may work for others, what devices they use, and what methods they use them in.
We are all lucky to have so many options available at the present time and folks willing to share their experiences with each other.
I don't get the polarization that exists over one single product. This just doesn't make any sense from any perspective.

Did you smell that too? Or did you stroke it then find out?
Not eveyone on here are thick skinned, beer chugging, back yard wrestling men.
I am a woman who is here to get off cigarettes that i have been smoking for 24 years.
I am here to learn and to share what i have learned. I am here to help and be helped.
And i think some people are here for entertainment only.

I wish i knew. I still have it in hopes it can be resurrected.
It lights up but when you let go of the button it stays green, it has power, tested it with a voltage meter and it flashes but will not show a reading. It wont fire clearomizers or cartomizers. It will still charge my ipod.
I took it to a vape shop owner here and he tried to open it, but he couldnt get it to come completely apart, or even enough to peak inside.
Hmmm...This is what you said in another post :
I do not hate Provaris. I do not own one because I find I very RARELY use a regulated device. My 2 REOs take care of my vaping needs quite well. The little I use a regulated device my old VAMO handles fine. When it dies then yes I will likely replace it with a Provari. But for something I use maybe once a week I see no point until the VAMO fails.
My vaping happy place happened to land with mechs and dripping(squonking).

And I think you will find that I never lumped all product owners into a group. I said the people that say things like that is what is turning others off. I am not trying to defend the provari haters, nor the provari owners. I was just pointing out an example of why some people have a negative opinion on this topic.
I will say this though. I do not personally think it's a good idea to suggest some of the advanced devices and setups with VV/VW, RBA's, RDA's, etc. to complete newbies. To quote myself from nearly a year ago, in another thread:

But i never fired it. So that should not have caused it to break, right? And turns out it still does wobble, was just trying to fix that last night.
I have learned a lot since then, and i have had tanks leak even on my ego batteries, cleaned them off and they work just fine. So why did it not work on the mvp2 i bought? Gotvapes is a verified vendor here so are they selling a bad product? Was it a faulty mvp? Who knows. So i stand with my answer of i have no idea.
Edit to also add, please dont make me look like i dont like my mvp, two or three days later i bought another one. I reccomend them to people all the time. It is still a fact that it should not have malfunctioned because a tank leaked. If that were true then all my other batteries should be messed up too.
Edit again to add,
Guess why i bought the provari, because if it breaks they fix it.
What!? Isnt that crazy? You can send it in for repairs.
Go on find those posts for me and quote them here too, the repair fees and turn around times.
THE WHOLE REASON I BOUGHT MINE IS BECAUSE I HAVE A MURPHYS LAW CLOUD ABOVE ME
If there is a slight chance that something can go wrong, it will for me. And that is why i bought one.
Ive posted that before too.
And in the meantime if you find some one who knows how to repair an mvp2 msg me their info. Id like mine fixed and then id have 5 days of vape battery life with just two mods!

I always assumed a lot of the hate came from the newbie forum awhile back when people would ask about an inexpensive mod recommendation and people would just come in and say "Just get a provari". I don't hate provari or the owners but I don't personally see the need to spend a crapton of money on a vv device. I currently use a SiD and two Itaste VV V3s had an MVP V2 but lost it.
I loved everything about my provari except the way it Vaped. I hate to say it, too. It was beautifully constructed, and had the best threads of any of my devices to date.
It's vape was just way too forceful. It's, as far as I could tell, all to do with it's processor speed. Any vape I tried, and a range of resistance, it was too hot and harsh for my taste. It's rated at what, 800 hertz? It was just too much for me.
The evic, at about 109 hertz is a much better fit for me.
In popular opinion I am an odd ball both in that I didn't like the way the provari Vaped, and that I am oddly affected by pum. That being said, I think the provari is a great device, but everyone has a different taste.

Thank you for the links. Very insightful info. I guess I am just one of the ones that cannot detect the "rattlesnake" effect. As an experiment just now, I pulled the battery out of my SVD and measured the voltage on a MM. It was 3.81V. I put the battery back in the SVD and vaped it at 3.8V a few times. Then I removed the battery and using some insulated alligator clips I set it up to mimic a Mech (straight battery, no regulation, no RMS) and vaped it that way a few times. I personally could not tell any difference in VTF between one method or the other and there was no difference in the sounds that it made.
I will also admit it could be because I am using ARO's at 2.2 - 2.4ohms instead of some advanced RBA or RDA at a lower resistance. Maybe if I used something more advanced or lower resistance, there would be a more noticeable difference. I honestly do not know.
