Provari

[Village idiot formerly tjlumle]

Just a heads up on the uk trades and sell Facebook group there is a provari v2.5 for £115

[newdawn]

There was one on UKV earlier today too. I'm not sure I even want one. Prefer watts, so will hang tight and see if they ever come up with it.

And if they do you can put another 100 quid on the price

I checked it out earlier today and I can buy a brand new one when we move to America next month for the same price as the second hand ones here.  If they do up the price by silly money I probably won't bother, but even if I do, I'll still be doing better buying new from over there than second hand here.

Honestly, there are tons of mods now that that are as good or much better than the Provari for a fraction of the price. The only reason to buy one now is if you want one mod with a lifetime warranty that never gets any better and you'll never want anything else.

I'll get flamed for this but hey ho.

I agree you would go through 3 a day, not sure how you'd double the time in a mech though?

Doesn't it take 18650's as well though? One of those lasts me all day in a Vamo V5 should be the same for the Provari I would have thought.

i think its the cut of point on the provari sure it would not work when the batterys got down to 3.5v if i remember correctly
on a mech i run them down too around 3.2 and the power from the batterys in a mech just powers up the coils i dont know just my findings

Yes, but you have to buy an extension tube.

A lifetime warranty I do not think so, 12 months warranty

quote from Provape

Extended Warranty - During checkout you will have the option to purchase an optional 1 year extended warranty for $24.95. This will extend your warranty for a period of two years total.

I thought that was the big selling point? That they last forever?

You will . . . the world will be your Provari lobster once you moved newdawn, I'd certainly sit tight until then.
