provari - yes or no

[smifee]

Yes Yes & Yes

I bought 3. One for me, because I'm worth it, one for younger son, a thank you for introducing us to vaping and one for Angie as an early birthday present.

OneDay & markm have given the reasons why I chose Provari.

No VW is OK for me as I use the same coils all the time. If that's a problem for you Clivia then, I know this is a swearword for the shopaholics on here, but wait for V3.

glad you managed to put your provari back together and it worked as the provari is the only mod that I have ever failed on trying to fix as I haven't ever managed to track down spare parts I know of 5 broken provaris all needing repairs but I will need to find spare parts before I will attempt to fix any of them I have fixed over 50 vamos 30 - 35 innokins but never a provari

fiddles your answer is in ronaldo 's quote above.

Ask, how long have Provari's been out 4 years? - 5 needing repair

50 Vamo's they've been out say 2 years? thatt's 10x as many
35 Innokins - not been out for that long either that's 7 x as many

Also, it does not say what type of repair, electronics or a mechanical problem?

All I can say is that my Provari is MY doomsday device choice; IMO it has the best chance of still being in working condition in 10 or 20 years time.

I agree provaris  are very very well made but penny for penny no more reliable than a vamo you could have a few vamos for the same money and in my opinion the handful of vamos would outlive the provari

Took me a long time to convince meself to buy a Provari (they are damned expensive!) but I do not regret it one minute.

They're built like Sherman tanks. Even I can't destroy one.

The controls are simple. Press x 5, power up. Then press 1, power down. Miss your target option? Press 1 to recycle menu.

Even when the battery is about flat, they still deliver full power, while warning you with the flashy LED that it's about to go.

And the topper is, they FEEL well made. Nice, sturdy, fit the hand very well (full size Provari this is, not got a mini). I love mine.

Just got mine this afternoon, love it too bits already.

irrespective of how long they last, I could never justify the purchase price to myself (even if I could afford it, which I can't anyway). At what?, £140 or more each? That's at least 7 vamos, or 14 X6, or <fill in whatever and qty here> .Judging by my present vamo, the provari would have to last at least 7 years, the advantage of the vamos is that I may not have to buy all 7 to match the provari life....

...plus, in the event of an accident and total write-off, I think I'd ...

...if it was a vamo that came to a sticky end, the backup one would come into play until ft delivered the next one to replace the backup

Typical provari wielding yobs ...tut...tut

[Pepperty]

... you know I'm going to say yes.

I bought my 1st one on February and I use it every day, I loved it so much that I bought another for backup. it's my armageddon mod too.

I would maybe suggest a second hand one? as for the price of new I now have an immaculate provari mini, matching prive tank, diver and hippo, plus extension cap. so the whole package! mind you, it's so perfect, I'm a bit scared of using it haha

[Karma]

I mainly use my 3rd hand V1 Provari with an extention and a 18650 battery. It's never missed a beat and must be quite old by now, I've had it for ages

I bought it to see what all the fuss was about intending to sell it on instead I bought a new mini provari to keep it company

[Bluefish]

How can people say they are expensive in this day and age, I s'pose non of them have a games console cos they cost twice as much, or a smart phone cost 2.5x more, and they all live in a shed probably the same one, numptys.

[geordie_vaper]

a provari is expensive for what it is though

[geordie_vaper]

and a games console with give you x100 the enjoyment and do about 100 more things then a provari could do, thats like comparing two completly diffrent things well thats exactly what it is haha

[Bluefish]

Things cost what they cost if you want or need one then you have to pay the piper, literally in this case lol
