    Anyone has the Provari e-cig?

    Not that I'm much into e-cigs but this one looks like more of a gadget to me.

    They don't ship to EU that's a bad thing and it comes quite pricey.

    $179 the cheapest version.

    $179? That's 2 1/2 cartons of smokes! Actually the cheapest is on sale for $159. And that doesn't even include the additional requirements, like extra batteries or cartomizers or replacement parts.

    It is pretty sweet how you can adjust the voltage though. Most likely, once you find your perfect "vape" voltage, you would leave it at that setting. So it isn't like you would have to be doing the press the button 9 times, press the button 13 times, press the button 7 times, BS much.

    Get one, let us know, do a review for us!

      Yeah you can get 2 cartons of smokes with that money, but the e-cig you only buy it once and use it for years (hopefully) this one looks robust.

      The juices are cheap $14 for 3 bottles of juice I believe they're enough for a whole month.

      I'm not sure right now if I'd pay almost $200 for this ecig but they say it's the best on the market and anyway can't order it in EU.

        That sux! Yeah the e-cig stuff is expensive. I remember when I first started using them (when I was getting ready to quit smoking), I must have spent about 800 bucks the first two months buying different types and juices and extra batteries. Once you settle on one, you're right, it would probably last a while. I think the battery this one uses will last longer than the normal slim batteries that you get from China, so the extra expense is really only the cartomizers and juices.

          I have had my Provari for about a month and absolutely love it.

          I quit smoking (21 years) through vaping almost 3 years ago. During that time, I established two main sets of criteria for my devices: 1: the device had to be all mechanical (that is, no electrical components that are likely to break down with no warning) and 2: my on-the-go device had to be as small as possible and pocket friendly. For those reasons, my devices of choice were the PureSmoker Prodigy V3 (6v) for home use and the PureSmoker Icon (3.7v) for outside the house.

          I shied away from the Provari despite all of its hype because it didn't meet my two main must-haves. It's electrical and is large and heavy. But I finally decided to add it to my holiday wish list anyway. After receiving it, it's the only device I have used. I quickly realized that I love it so much, it outweighed my previous criteria.

          At the risk of jinxing myself, I have not had a single misfire or problem whatsoever. I use it all day every day (when I'm not snusing, that is) and have found it to be incredibly consistent.

          A single 18490 battery (the smaller battery option) easily last me 11 hours. And the last hit near the end of that 11 hours is the same as the first hit from a fresh battery.

          I run low resistance cartomizers at work at 3.8v and run standard resistance atomizers at home at 5.1v. It's very easy to adjust the voltage. Also, the device protects atomizers/cartomizers. A few times, I have forgotten to lower the voltage when switching to a LR carto. On the first button press, the device gives an error. I simply lowered the voltage and continued.

          Other nice features include:

          A low battery warning. The button blinks when it's time to change the battery out.

          You can turn the device off completely, so there'll be no accidental activations in your pocket.

          You can check the Ohms of your atty/carto directly on the device.

          You can check the power left in your battery.

          You can turn the button light off.

          The only real cons this device has are its size and weight. It's not a real issue right now, because I can keep it in my coat pocket. But when spring/summer come around, I'm not sure yet how I'm going to carry it.

            yes, the juices and batteries are pretty cheap.

            and I would only takes a few puffs here and there I wouldn't use it all day, basically I would probably spend less than $100 with it in a year.

            There are places where you can't snus at all or use dip. So that's when the e-cig comes handy.

            Btw I was sent out of a shop because I was puffing on an ecig (had one that you only take like 500 puffs of it and throw it away). So basically not everyone would accept you smoking the ecig indoors. lol

            The shopkeeper was like please don't ****ing smoke in here !

            I was like I am not smoking I am vaping!

            He was like that's even worse, stop that get out!

            Such an idiot that's basically water vapor.

            My guess is that some non-smoking restaurant would send you out as well.

              If only John Wayne could read this thread.

                    That's awesome but too bad its bulky. I like the ones that actually look like a cig.

                    They should pronounce it like it's Italian vs "Pro very".. proovaarryy sounds cooler lol.

                        Looking at reviews and things it seems awesome. A member here is sending me ecig stuff to try I can't wait. I'm not worried about the lower nic because I'm going to use it like snuff. Right when I put a snus in I take a pinch ha. So with the e cig as soon as I start a snus ill take a few puffs. I miss the hand to mouth of a cig so I think it will work perfect. He is sending me different juices to try

                          So if I really like it I'll invest in something like this. The initial investment doesn't scare me. You get what you pay for.
