why provari is so popular yet expensive?

[Baditude]

This is true for me. I vape pretty consistently the same wattage per tank. I vape my protanks at 7 watts, my Davides at 8, and my cartos at 9. VW changed the way I vape. Especially because I could use any ohm atty and get a consistent vape. Consequently vw is an important feature to me.

Yeah I got attacked because I mentioned VW works for me. It doesn't't have to work for anyone else. If it doesn't work for someone it shouldn't be criticized as a joke. I get it, a lot of people like vv which is fine. I can make a friction fire but I still use a lighter. VW makes it so I don't have to do the math and make changes all the time. No one is forcing anyone to use it, but don't get upset when others prefer it.

I didn't attack you. I was merely pointing out that despite the so-called "set & forget" of VW, you stated that you still made adjustments while in VW mode when you changed different toppers. Isn't that counter-productive to what VW is supposed to do? The way that you use variable wattage is the same way that I use variable voltage. What am I missing here?

Totally off topic, but here's a picture of my favorite gas can:

It's got twice the number of doors, and it's probably even got a parking sensor, for a mere fraction of the price. So how can people be so stupid as to buy that overpriced gas can in the top picture?

It's the "bling" factor. People will pay a premium price for pretty and shiny things, for no more reason than they are pretty and shiny.


After all, if you were to take your favorite gas can on a race track it would easily be beaten by one of these gas cans that cost less than a quarter of the price and are also more reliable as well.

Is it as pretty and shiny? Can you use it to act like you're more important than other people because of the amount of money you spent on it? No.

But on a road, when you're actually using it, it's BETTER.

Your gas tank is a fashion statement which comes with a typically fashionably high price. It's desired primarily because it is expensive and has developed a reputation of being expensive and thus, high fashion. Same with the Provari.


Because the fact is, when you push the fire button on one, this out performs the Provari in every way...

Only at the start, not in the long run unless it's been modified. Stock only please.

Choosing a Provari had nothing to do with "status" or "bling factor" for me and most Provari owners. It had to do with the reputation of being an extremely dependable, reliable, and durable PV, the extreme accuracy of the chip to deliver the same vape for the last puff as good as the first puff, and for the reputation of the company who will support and repair their product for life.

Most of us are simple vapers. We likely don't do sub-ohm vaping and we don't do high wattage vaping. The vast majority of vapers do not do sub ohms or high wattage vaping. The Provari best suits OUR needs. If this doesn't fit your vape style, then the Provari is not for you.

What if I want to use it to commute? Will my favorite gas can be easily beaten by one of your gas cans then too? By which measurements?

But on a road, when you're actually using it, it's BETTER.

Are the leather seats better too? Is the stereo better? (I don't have the answers, but it seems like you do.)

Because the fact is, when you push the fire button on one, this out performs the Provari in every way...

Can you give me some details on how it outperforms the Provari when it comes to step-down regulation? If you won't or can't answer any of my other questions, please at least answer this one.

 

[DetraMental]

I chose the Provari because I knew I was in to vaping for the long haul and wanted something that could be there for me through it. The Provari fit the bill as the perfect piece of equipment to do just that.

The difference is that in vv you have to know what the resistance of each atomizer is. I have 5 mini PT2s, each with a different ohm coil. I know I can vape them happily at 7 watts. I can swap between any of then without changing anything. When I was using a vv mod, I had to check resistance every time I put a new tank on, then do the math and change the voltage. When I switch to a Davide, I know I can bump that up to 8, again without knowing exactly what the resistance is. So yes I'm changing settings for each type of tank, but I don't have to change anything for similar tanks.


And set and forget isn't really what I find useful about vw. It's the fact that I can set to a wattage without worrying about what resistance coil I have.

VW makes it so I don't have to do the math and make changes all the time.

With VV, I don't have to do any math, nor do I have to make changes all the time. Oh well, we're all different.

Oops. Seems like I'm doing it wrong right now. It's ... two-ish? A bit below? I am absolutely not certain. I guess that means I'll have to stop vaping now, until I've checked my resistance.

Exactly. We are all different. Vw made things really quick and easy for me. That's why its an important feature to me. I don't expect it to be important to anyone else. If vv is what works best for you, then great stick with vv. Just please don't criticize me for preferring vw. You don't have to understand why, just accept it. I'll give you the same respect.

I again point out that you originally said you changed the wattage for the different tanks that you had. You essentially were manually changing the settings for each type of tank. You said so.

Now you are saying you only use 5 mini PT2.

you just wont know till you own one...i enjoy my mini i got another one..lol just because my other hand was jealous

No I said that I had several pt2s and some davides.

Set and forget isn't important to me. I like pt heads at 7 watts. I like asoire heads at 8. With vw I can set to just that without having to determine what ohms the coils are and doing the math

I said " I vape my protanks at 7 watts, my Davides at 8, and my cartos at 9."

The quantity I have of each is irrelevant. The fact is when I put a pt on my unit I set it to 7 watts regardless of the coil

Different strokes folks.... different strokes.

Some like their gas cans in the form of a coupe, some like them in the form of a four door sedan... etc etc etc.

I like mine in the form of a pick up... If it works for you then who cares what others like, use, or think about your choice?

I have been wondering about the superiority of the DNA chip over the Provari when it comes to step-down regulation for some time now. I hear it over and over: The DNA is better in every aspect. But every time I ask about the details ...

I never wanted an argument. I shouldn't have to defend, justify, or explain my preference for VW. I never criticized the Provari or vv. I simply said vw is important to ME and is the only thing keeping ME from buying one.

At any rate. I'm done derailing this thread. My apologies.

Bad analogy. The Provari is known for build quality and reliability. It's why people buy them, not bling or status. I'd make the same argument about the Mustang; it's an ego-mobile, and great if you don't mind it being in the shop frequently and not being able to count on it. And Ford is not known for their fit & finish.

Hey! That's all I buy now after having not so good luck with GM models.
