And I see that most pro provari people say "just because its good" or "its a classic". Nothing any of you have said is making me even considering trying this mod

Cool bro, don't get one, it is that simple. Different strokes for different folks, whatever keeps you off the stinkies.

I'm just saying the mechanical part of the mod is probbly $20-$30. The dna chip is around 50. Now why would something that should be under $100 cost as much as a provari? Your paying for the brand, which apparently is worth more than twice the cost of the mod itself...

What are you smoking, err vaping I mean? Where the hell are you gonna get a pure silver tube for a mod for $20-$30. It doesn't exist. Pure silver tubes for mods don't grow on trees do they? You have to machine pure silver to get a pure silver tube, if you think that is only worth $20-$30, then its no wonder you are howling about the price of a Provari.

I agree. SOME things are worth the extra money. But there has to be REASON behind that extra money. NONE OF YOU have showed any mind-blowing facts or anything that could begin to offset that cost. Oh cause I'm not completely reckless and dumb with my money I'm out of the conversation? Give anybody a real REASON to buy the provari that puts it far enough ahead of other mods to justify the price. Unsound advice? Me? YOU are the one giving unsound advice. YOU have no facts to back up your precious provari

Please list the mods you feel compare to the Provari, otherwise you are once again blowing hot air. Its kind of hard to respond to nothing.

Well all's good in the Vape World, just got back from the store, have a pizza in the oven and a bag of popcorn handy. :vapor: and six mods, non provarian, except futura30, it's very Provarian with Balls. lol K, where should we start, hmm??

Jon-Stewart-Eagerly-Watching-Eating-His-Popcorn-On-The-Daily-Show.gif


So... your saying don't go for the bells and whistles get a provari??; The device with the least moving parts, which doesnt apply to a mod per se except the button(s), I assume means less failure points. ANY pure mech mod has less failure points than ANY regulated mod.

Yeah, don't vape bells or whistles, I vape juice, and what I inhale is all that really matters. I don't want to take pic's with my mod's don't want to listen to music either. Want the full available power dedicated to nothing but my vape, but in a emergency can jump start my car with two regulated mods, but that's not what I bought them for.

You, sir, are the master of the obvious. But the point of this thread was about regulated mods, but I guess you missed that with your obsession of bashing Provaris.

Yeah, love all things vape, but my Stingray C.B. mech did cost more than a new Provari, so yeah both worlds offer a stellar vape, and do own both regs. and mechs.

And I see that most pro provari people say "just because its good" or "its a classic". Nothing any of you have said is making me even considering trying this mod

Hang on a sec, smells like pizza is ready, brb.............................:evil:

....................whew, that was a close one, but turned out Purrrrfect!!, where was I? oh yeah,

K, :vapor::vapor: I'm a firm believer that a regulated is one of the best ways to safely get one's vape on. And buying a quality device makes the best sense and value. If you want something to last buy Quality. This is something that's been drummed into my head since I became aware enough to coherently understand what you were saying. lol about 1963 ish. Provari is quality, along with several other highly regarded mods. Just up to the vaper on which path they choose, cheap and fly by or quality and performance, P has both. Nobody, absoulutly nobody is trying to say, "hey, got to have a Provari" We's just saying, if you choose a Provari, you can't go wrong. If it covers you vape criteria and vape goals, it's a sure thing.

Cool bro, don't get one, it is that simple. Different strokes for different folks, whatever keeps you off the stinkies.

yeah, get this, don't get that, get what vapes your world. P's just one solid option.

What are you smoking, err vaping I mean? Where the hell are you gonna get a pure silver tube for a mod for $20-$30. It doesn't exist. Pure silver tubes for mods don't grow on trees do they? You have to machine pure silver to get a pure silver tube, if you think that is only worth $20-$30, then its no wonder you are howling about the price of a Provari.

yeah, last mech silver plated hand etched mech mod I saw was like almost 6 bills, and you know what, I loaded it in my cart and seriously considered clicking "proceed to check out" Barley held back, it was that sweet, Something you would vape at your daughter's wedding reception, would fit right in vaping in a tux. Frak me sweet looking. Hopefully flushing my cookies and web memory will make it hard to find, was one of the high end vender sites.

Hang on, think it was white gold, come to think of it, frak, should of got it, now will never find it.

My quit smoking banner tells the best tale. Haven't spent over 3k this last year on tobacco, why wouldn't I want to spend a big portion of that on quality gear??
Yeah, couldn't think of a valid answer to that question, while I haven't spent quite that much on vape gear, accessories and supplies, I am making excellent progress . Still in the black, but it's a close thing, lol, but I do have a great start on my collection, and all of it vapes really Quite Excellent!!

Well pizza is ready, time to watch a show, check back later.

you could machine a pure silver mod with DNA30 board and etc etc and have it custom engraved etc for half a provari, probably with less voltage drop. They are simply not worth the money. Regulated devices are all about the chip. Thats it. Period.
a provari has a voltage drop problem? Well, thats a new twist on a ridiculous argument. Put me down for one of those Silver ones you're going to make though. I'd like my engraving to say "not as good as a ProVari"

no actually ALL of you are saying generalities with no factual basis whatsoever.
We are speaking facts...we own ProVaris. Read the thread title....
So where are these "better chips for less"? You keep throwing that out there but I'm seeing no factual basis to back up that statement. You weren't speaking in generalities were you? Of course not...that would make you a hypocrite. I'm quite confident you simply forgot to include your factual statistics after tossing out yet another misinformed generality.

you guys like it because its expensive. Its a luxury good.


No because it has positive feedback, it works for ever, and the other MODs I have researched die in a couple month. Sorry, I would rather pay $80 for a Provari, and be happy but that is impossible, so I have to pay $150 to get it, its not the money, its the quality. I also rather pay $25000 for a good car rather then a $14000 that I have more in the shop that on the road.

Let's see. The ProVari are around $180. You can get a Vamo v5 for $35. So, I can murder off 4 Vamos and still have one working before I get to the cost of the ProVari. Furthermore, the Vamo does variable wattage. The ProVari is just variable voltage. We've seen a ton of variable wattage APVs come out in the last year. ProVari's answer? New color schemes. This year, the DNA20s and DNA30s have been released. Meanwhile, ProVari had released new colors. Technology everywhere else had been marching along nicely - Except with the ProVari.

I just had to respond to this logic... it's exactly the same as the logic behind driving a $500 car vs a $5000 car vs a $50,000 car. You can buy 10 $500 cars for $5000, why would you ever buy a $5,000 car or gasp, 100 $500 cars for $50,000? Why? :facepalm:

Old technology vs new. Why would anyone want to buy a reliable old car vs a new cheapie? Why? Mods aren't about technology, they're about functionality. They are more like tools than computers. So now that DNA30s are getting obsolete in favor of DNA100's soon to come out, tell me, what exactly will you vape that needs that 'latest'?

Do you vape over 15 watts anyway? If you're using a Vamo, which was the question to begin with... what's the 'latest' got to do with it? Can a Vamo vape over 15 watts for $35?

    Funny, on another post, a Pro-Provari poster said you can't compare PV's to cars. Apples and oranges...

    If needing to buy a new APV several times a year works for you, then go ahead and buy Vamo. I want a mod that just works.

    To me, the 'no VW' knock sounds like a disconnect. Do you advise people to not buy mech mods because they're not VW (or VV of course)? The ProVari is what it is. If it doesn't appeal to you, cool, buy a Vamo (or five).

    there are mods with better chips for cheaper. there are many mods with equal durability, a name isn't everything. Yes it is better than alot of the mods out there, especially the cheap china clones, BUT if you do a little REASEARCH you can find equal quality mods for less.

    I think the Provari electronics is the most amazing chipset made for mods today, and yesterday, and day before yesterday. Bar none. Hands down. The Provari is a 2 wheeled bicycle, not a 4 or 5 wheeled bicycle, it's outdated right?

    But if you know of a Better regulated chipset with a track record of years, I want it. Name it please.

    I'm not on another post, just saw this one. So lets not compare Provari to cars. I compared it to a bicycle. A 2 wheeled bicycle vs a 5 wheeled bicycle, you know, the latest and greatest:).

    No, let us compare Provaris to cars:

    I was at the car dealership the other day. Tens of thousands of dollars for a new car! So i just put on my sunglasses, leaned casually against the counter, and said, with a crooked smile:

    "That's a bit much for a gas tank, don't you think?" (rimshot)

    Then I turned on my heel and walked out of there.

    Oh man, I felt so clever. I really taught them, didn't I? Bet they've never thought of it that way before. I won, yay me!!!111eleven

    :D

    Then it would actually become a quintacycle or a Pentacycle. Just saying... :)
