I suspect the original poster will feel the same way after buying her Provari as she did when she asked what all the hype was about. I know I did. But that's just me. There's room in my understanding to know that others will feel differently, even passionately differently. Many of the points that people raise about the Provari are not that important to me. Different strokes I suppose. Personally, I do like variable power. I like the eVic display and having bought two and broken two now, I can tell you that right up until they died horrible deaths on my granite countertop, they were my favorite pv's. I do know that my Provari is solid and will always be there. That gives me peace of mind. Is it my favorite pv, not by a long shot. Is it better built? No question about it. Does it have a better warranty? You betcha. Does it feel like better quality? Yeppers. Is it my favorite mod? Nope. Is it my most expensive mod? By far. Am I glad I bought it? Yes. Is it for sale? No. Do I have buyer's remorse? Nope. Do I know what all the fuss is about? Yes, that's why I bought it, I found it irresistible to find out about this ten year old technology that everyone's hung up on. Do I appreciate it? I do, I get it. Still not my favorite, and if I gave the reasons it's not my favorite, you would simply tell me that those things are way down your list of things that are important to you...that they just don't matter. I get it. I believe you and respect your opinion. Many of you respect other people's opinion. Many of you don't. I get it. I love vaping. I can't believe that I'm an ex-smoker...I literally can't believe it. Not entirely sure how I got here exactly, but I wouldn't change a thing. I have an open mind. I definitely have room to understand that to each their own, one size does not fit all, you like what you like....and on and on. I get it. Like some of you, I find the whole argument amusing. You know there is no answer to the question, "What is the best PV?" because it's subjective, neither having to be championed nor defended. And the winner is......all of us, if you got into and maintain vaping to stop smoking. I bought two Provari's so I could understand what the big deal was to others. I got it. Still not my favorite pv. I thank all of you for being here, though. You've all helped me.
This!!!
When the next vv(or VW , I'm not that picky) that works every single time and doesn't die after a couple of months (durable), comes out ill probably buy one no matter who makes it. My unscientific opinion? A very small percentage of the haters actually own one. And a very small percentage of tho who own one regret it. Did I like the vamo? Yes! A lot! I liked both of them(rip) btw p is for pieces not peace. Ever drop a vamo hard? I have, it explodes into several pieces, usually you can just put them back together, till you can't
or you screw the wrong device onto it a bit too hard (toasted one that way too). I still like the vamo, awesome battery flexibility, I like the VW though imho its gimmicky, easier to adjust with multiple buttons. But if a vamo was going to be my go to device I would have gone through about 5-6 in the time I've owned one provari. That's no longer a price difference! I like my evic, cool display, lots of bells and whistles (that I personally don't really use
significantly more expensive than the vamo's, I never take it out, this is just my opinion but this device will not survive multiple hard falls, if I had to buy a couple of them to get though a year it'd be alot more expensive than my provape device.
I think if you are reasonably sure that you can be pretty gently/careful with your devices and you will never subject it to
any "violence" than you could go with any number of devices and probably be perfectly happy.
I'm hard on my daily device. I own quite a few APV's, I like them all for different reasons. Most I don't take out of the house, no point, they're either going to suffer cosmetic damage, or just get flat destroyed.
Ill also be quick to admit its not the answer for everyone, I'm not sure most fans really think its the answer for everyone. But even if a provari is not the best choice for you, that doesn't mean it isn't for me.
There are hipper looking mods, there are newer bells and whistles(I.e. VW ). And that's why I still buy APV's I enjoy them as a hobby , I appreciate how design, technology and trends continue to move forward. But at the end of the day, for me, its about vaping instead of smoking. What I wanted from the beginning was something that did exactly what it was supposed to all day, every day , every single time. Even if I drop it, mistreat it etc etc. that's been the pro for me. I had to have rock solid every day never worry reliability, and that's what well over a year in I get.
I don't really understand all the acrimony. It is a great device in many respects. Is it the "best"? I have no idea and I'm not sure there is even one answer to that question. It really depends on what's important to you, and we are all different.
Would I reccommend it to someone else? Maybe, it would depend a lot on exactly what they were looking for in a device. But I'm sure not hacked off at anyone for buying one, or for not wanting to buy one.
Part of I think is just the times. When this device was first released it was head and shoulders above anything else available in many respects. In many I think it still may be. So they started out as king of the hill, if anything ever reaches that level I guess it just engenders very strong feelings, both ways. He'll, I felt strongly enough to write this
it was the first "real" apv I bought, so I have a soft spot for it, plus I've been carrying it around with me every single day for a very long time and it still performs perfectly . I like that
At the end of the day decide for yourself, if you think it might be what you're looking for, go for it! If you're not happy with it, you can easily sell it and be out of pocket very little. Then you'll really know. Much better than reading another brutal thread on the subject.
As for me I think I'm going to avoid these threads in the future. It's been done enough. It's not world peace or and end to hunger, its an apv
