Stupid Question I Know

[Steve F]

Got my heart set on a Provari been thinking and planning for one the the last couple of weeks

Whats the main selling point for the Provari over say my VAMO?

Only ask as I was "trying" to have a chat with the Boss (wife) about vaping etc and I dropped in the desire to buy a Provari

Well FFS when I told her the price you would have thought I was supplying missiles to North Korea and Kim Jong Il or whatever his name was is my new best mate!!!!

Going back then to my main question - "Whats the main selling point for the Provari over say my VAMO?"

I need some more leverage with her indoors

The simple answers are build quality and consistency. With a Provari in your hand you just know by the weight, threads, finish etc etc that it's a quality piece of engineering. Whatever you put on top of it will always vape the same whatever battery you put in it or whatever state the battery is in.

Not joking, there are a myriad of threads on forums answering the same question.

Provaris have their downsides. The price, the way the contacts need to be kept cleaner than any other mod (as far as I am aware), the fact you won't want to take it out of the house in case you drop it or something. Can sometimes be a bit temperamental.

Upsides. It's built very well, no threads are going to stretch on one, the button is unlikely to fail, the tube is virtually unbreakable/unbendable, they have a one years warranty. The vape is very consistent, it has every type of safety circuit built in they could.

But it's still just a battery holder with voltage variator.

Personally, I think the thing on top matters more, I have 2 Mrk 1 lavatubes and they do just as good a job as my provari most of the time. "MOST" of the time, as the buttons are liable to not work sometimes and the voltage decreases as the battery voltage does.

If you want reliability and a bit of poseability, plus a bit of vaping street cred, a provari does it all quite well. Although it's looking a bit "old spice" now, dependable, but something the older generation like, when you have new Evics and such on the block.

That said, I like mine, but if it goes wrong, I'm not sure I'd buy another. I'd have to have a good look around at the opposition at the time.

I have to agree with everything Womble says.

I have the ProVari, but it is under strict house arrest and was bought primarily as my just in case PV.
If all else fails me, the ProVari is my back up of all back ups.

I had a ProVari v1 - and it was a really well made and consistent Vape - but i let it go.

For me i have to like the button - actually enjoy the action of pressing it - which i'd be doing a lot - and i much preferred the GLV2 mini's detonator style button and size - even tho it was unregulated the ProVari got less use and it cost to much to go unused.

By contrast - i actually quite like the Vamo's button - and still have 2 because although i tend to use me GLV or new Dingo - i can afford to have them sat idle - at least for the time being

I had a V1 provari back in the day and it was a beast, heavy, well built, stunning to look at. It cost me a fecking fortune tho and maintenance was a pain in the backside.
I then recently had a lavatube V2 and I have to say although the build quality is not as good I found it to be a lovely PV. These days I could never merit forking out for something as expensive as a provari but you know your holding one when its sat in your hand.
