I don't think anyone is trying to convince you of buying any particular mod. The OP asked current Provari owners and perhaps those on the fence considering whether to buy one would they pay the extra money for a Provari.
If you only consider your mod as "just a battery holder", then I agree a Provari is not for you.
You can read for yourself in any thread with the word Provari in it that the vast majority of Provari owners believe that it is indeed worth the extra money. Not only does the superior chip allow for a better vape, but the build quality, attention to detail, and toughness of the entire device is miles ahead of less expensive variable voltage devices. There's a reason that it costs more.
Higher quality of parts, additional hand-crafting, USA parts assembled by US workers makes a mod more expensive to make. It's manufactured & assembled the same as high quality power tools, which tend to be more expensive. Rugged, durable, and they work every time. Common sense states you''ll pay more for higher quality. If you hold a Provari and another regulated mod (most likely made in China) side by side in your hand and can not tell the difference in quality -- then yeah, you're right, don't buy a Provari. You wouldn't appreciate it.
I'm not necessarily ragging on the China-made mods. They have their place in the world of vaping. They just have a different philosophy of making mods. Build them cheaply so that they can be sold cheaply. If they break, then just buy another.
Many mod owners have gotten tired of buying cheaper mods and then they dysfunction before their reasonable life expectancy. No means to get them repaired, they either again buy another less expensive mod to replace it...or...they listen to the Provari owners, bite the bullet, and pay more this time for a Provari. Most of these people say they wish they had purchased a Provari to begin with.
If you've had better luck with the less expensive regulated mods, I'm happy for you. You may well not need or want a Provari. Again, I'm happy for you.
Addressing those people who say the feature set of a Provari is too basic: A Provari is for rather simple yet extremely common vapers. They know how to do first grade math so they don't need VW. They often are not sub-ohmers nor high voltage vapors. They may or may not be extreme vapor hobbyists/enthusiasts. A Provari's feature set has everything that a simple vaper needs, and will last them much longer than the latest shiney mod with all the new bells & whistles that happens to come on the market.
Different strokes for different folks.
Why Provari?

ProVari aren't for everyone. FastTech PRC specials seem more appropriate for your tastes. Why limit yourself to 'pure silver' when you can get gold?...
Me personaly,I'm interested in buying Provari. But,I want to wait for 3.0 verson. Don't want to buy 2.5 and then see that they start to sell 3.0 after month or so 
Does anybody have any kind
of info about that? Is realistic to expect new version this year ?
Ok,maybe 3.0 will be another new colors,design,so I will not gain much from it,but in the other hand,I suspect they will change more than look in the new version.

I'm in the same boat. 3.0
I'm seriously considering one. That said, I'm waiting to see what the 3.0 brings - hoping for wattage instead of just voltage. I really like the "set it and forget it" factor from variable wattage, because I change my tanks (different flavors) constantly. I'm sitting at my desk at work right now with my Evic and 5 tanks in front of me. Next to the tanks are 7 different bottles of juice, and the rest of my juice stash is in a drawer next to me.

It is quite amazing different juices you have taste best all with the same amount of power... I have 6 tanks in my daily rotation, and all of them taste and vape different at different power settings...
They're all in the same general range, but honestly, the power I like has a lot more to do with my mood than what juice I'm using. I tend to stick between about 6-7.5 watts, though. I have no idea what voltage I'm usually at because the coils I have range from 1.6 to 2.4, and I haven't really paid attention to what's in which tank.

I said the same thing....Back in October 2013.
There is no indication that 3.0 is around the corner, only whispers on the wind and hopes and dreams of specific vapers.
In all reality, it is much more likely that version 3.0 will only include the already improved top cap, and a higher capacity chipset which will allow the device to go up to 20W or 30W
Variable Wattage is a nice to have, but is not the "set and forget" functionality that is often touted as juices usually taste different and there is rarely a sweet spot for all juices and ohms readings. For example 10 watts on a Kayfun is miles different than 10 Watts on a ProTank2 which is miles away from 10 Watts on an Aspire Nautilus.
Most Variable wattage devices are 5 to 10 times less accurate in their voltage regulation than the ProVari (.1 to .2 volts variance vs .02 volts variance on the ProVari.
There is also the fact that based on the past, ProVari updated the 1.0 to 2.0 chipset relatively cheaply. There is no reason not to expect the same thing from 2.0/2.5 to 3.0. So even if you buy a 2.5 now, when the oft-prophesied 3.0 does come out, you will be able to update cheaply.
And finally, if you CAN'T upgrade for whatever reason, there are still a lot of existing ProVari owners who are so satisfied with their 2.0 and 2.5 devices that you would be able to sell your used 2.5 for nearly what you paid for it, and could use that cash to buy a 3.0 when they eventually become available.
Kidding!
My husband wants to buy me one for my birthday. I am in the same predicament, I want it bad but hate to shell out the cash!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reall?? Really!! then I challenge you to do so and I'll buy it. In the process of building my own, by time you have all the parts, cases, connecters, wires solder and such, one is already at the Provari price. Then you have to assemble, cut, glue, screw every thing into place.
simply put, you don't know a Quality made vape mod from an ego twist, or something like that. Of course everything is worth the price paid, otherwise nobody would by one, and they'd go out of business. Simple economics should tell one that.
I have a lot of different PV's, and use mechanicals most of the time. BUT, would I ever give up my Provari ......... not a chance in hell!!! It's that good.
Folks say that the DNA is the way to go ......... well try to adjust the voltage DOWN with a DNA!
Folks say it's to much money for a battery tube, well ya ... I can buy THREE WEEKS worth of cigarettes with that same cash. My Provari is sneaking up on THREE YEARS with that same cash.
right now is not the time to be buying a provari. Its an excellent device, the best standard power vv mod money can buy besides the Semovar.
However, there is too much new tech coming out. the sigelei 20w and seven22 are getting rave reviews, (with many users saying the devices surpass their provari as the go-to device) the dna30 has been both cloned and surpassed. Joye, Smok, and Innokin all have leaked that they have something new and exciting coming soon.
I would get an mvp, sigelei 20w, or a seven22 and wait for the next round to hit before dropping the money on a provari.
Besides, we are all hoping provape will join the current gen soon...

Yeah, that's why I said almost.
There is a certain segment of Provari-bashers who bash it on principle, or because it doesn't suit their needs, and like to tell other people that they don't know what their own needs are. Every mod has a place, even eGos!
1. I don't vape 20 watts...Yet. My Kayfun is great at half that.
2. Don't get the Sigelei or Seven 22 wet. The OLED will short out in a heartbeat.
I live in Florida. I am always near the water. I purposely dunked my ProVari in a glass of water to prove to myself that if I got caught in one of our famous gully washers, or droped my PV at the beach, or it fell out of my hand at the pool, or my kids splashed me while swimming, that my MOD could live through it.
It survived being submerged....So I'm pretty confident it can survive the above. I would challenge any DNA, 20W or Seven-22 to do the same, but that would be asking them to surely destroy their mod.
So where I live, the ProVari is exactly what I want and need.
Once you learn your juices and how they vape, you will come to see that set it and forget it not a good way to get the best vape. For instance, I have 6 IBTanks in my rotation today, all have the same resistance coils, yet my AIV Afternoon Tea is best at 3.4 volts, whereas my Halo Sub Zero is best at 4.3 volts...VW haas no way of knowing which juice performs best at what power...
You are talking about PRC mystery metal mods, which people like me would never even consider...
