Wife has got shinyitis

[confido]

After 14 months of me saying how good vaping is my wife finally quit the rollies and has been vaping for 2 weeks now. I gave her a spheroid on a roller but she tried my mini provari last night and said she liked that more than the roller. She asked me to get her one. Lol now I have to tell her how much they cost!

Why do they cost so much?

[Clivia]

that's a really good question

Why do they cost so much?

??? - what can they do what others can't ?

[chykensa]

Why does a Ferrari cost more than a Fiesta? Apart from the obvious turn of speed, you are paying for the name, and quality construction. Both cars get you from A to B safely and on four wheels, and the Fiesta does it a lot more cheaply.
Would I ever buy a Provari? Nope, not even if I could afford one. Just the same as I would never buy a Ferrari!

[confido]

I dont think they do any more than other cheaper alternatives, even less considering there is no variable wattage, but the build quality is superb, it will last for years and I like the fact the every vape is as good as the last one regardless of what charge the battery has. I'd saved so much money not smoking that it was a 1 year vaping gift to myself. After using it for a while I dont regret buying one.

Ooops - busted!
Now you can't use the 'what, this old thing?' routine. Good luck!

Congratulations on your wife quitting confido.

Tell her she can have one as a birthday or Christmas pressie, that way you wont have to tell her how much they cost.

Until you've fondled handled one it's hard to imagine the feeling of pure quality, engineering excellence and vaping consistency. The weight, the finish, the silky smoothness of the threads. The fact that every single draw is just like the last, whether you have a brand new battery or one that is dying. The feeling that after the apocalypse all that will be left is cockroaches and Provaris.

I'll stop there otherwise I'll be here all day

It only gets worse

After 2 years of me doing all the buying of vape goodies for us both, the OH has suddenly spent about £200 in the last month all on his own

Now I only get to waste money for 1

I have similar views with my Titanide. Part of the reason for getting it was knowing that as a mech mod (albeit very expensive one) when the bans and restrictions hit us, I will always have something to use that will work.
I also just love the feel of quality and silky smooth threading.

oh confido I feel for you! I can only suggest you stalk 'the classies' whilst you weep.

You have two choices here, fess up on price (and be prepared to be severely toungelashed) or come clean and admit they are the Rolls Royce of vape gear and promise her one for Christmas/birthday... she may go right off the provari mini when she finds out its the price of 3 weeks food shopping!!

Problem is, I'm also a MASSIVE provari fangirlie, best things since sliced bread - and I think your wife deserves one for throwing herself into vaping. Give her yours!!

Well said Pepperty

[markm]

But they only cost about 20 packs of smokes..........but will last considerably longer.

No way she is getting mine, myyyyy precious! Thanks everyone for the advice and I'll look at getting one off the classies but I'll keep my mouth shut on the price although Im sure she spends more than that each month on shoes and clothes.

[Pepperty]

hahah, i'm the same! I don't think I'd be happy if anyone even handled my provari's. Best money I've ever spent (twice) I know they are pricey...but quality built and great vape.

p.s don't let her know or see the different colourways, in case you spend out second hand and then she mentions she'd quite fancy it in purple!!!
