Provari extended warranty??

[Kyle&Ann]

After much sweating, justifying and begging, my darling, sweet, beautiful wife has approved the purchase of a Provari Mini. Yes...I have seen the light. I am about to join the club!


i have my ducks in a row. I have 4 18350's and a handful of 18650's. I am ordering the extension cap and a Tatroe extension tube is in transit to my house. Here is my question...


Do I spring for the extended warranty or do I use those extra dollars to get a color of my choice? I am leaning towards the black model. The choice is one or the other...extended warranty or different color.


As always, thanks in advance for any advice!

I've got a standard provari and a mini have not had a problem doubt I will but provape will back there product 100% if it was me get
A color you want and have fun

I agree. I figured that if nothing bad happens during the first year, I'm fine. Besides, ProVape will always do small repairs, if necessary, for a reasonable fee--usually ~$25 bucks.

Get the color you like and enjoy.

 

[Kyle&Ann]

Thanks for the advice!

Has anyone found the need for the extended warranty?

 

[The Ocelot]

Not that I know of.

 

[Katya]

I know of users who sent their ProVaris for repairs after their warranty had expired. That's how I know how much they paid.

They have the prices listed on the website.

They sure do!

Will the 18650's fit in the Mini? I always get the extended, but if you're choosing between the warranty and the color of choice, go for the color.

 

[Katya]

Will the 18650's fit in the Mini?

Nope. The mini takes 18350 batteries (18490 with the extension cap).

I have two, and got the extended warranty for neither. I have no regrets. I will say this, though. The satin silver is the toughest finish to blemish from what I hear. My black is definitely more vulnerable to scratches, etc. than my satin silver.

 

[EddardinWinter]

You can get one of these with the extension cap and use 18650s...

Tatroe Ring Provari Steel

Tatroe ProVari Wide End Cap with Spring

Baditude has the flared bottom for it which makes it more stable when sitting on a table. He hates to show pictures of it though....

I am pretty sure you can get a couple of these and do what you want, which is use a mini with 18650s.

I have the extended warranty, but have not needed it so far.

I opted not to get the extended warranty after asking here, like you, if I needed it. The general consensus was "no". I'm ordering a second mini and will not be getting the extended warranty on that either. Get the color you like.

I got the extended warranty which I tend to do on all top purchases, but my second Provari I didn't get it. So far both have never given me a problem and its been about a year and a half I've had both.

First of all...THANKS for all the replies and great advice! The deal has been sealed! No extended warranty.

We ordered the Black satin Provari mini, extension cap, Tatroe extension tube and the green display. Baditude has hypnotized us with all of his images and subliminal messages/suggestions. When we grow up in the ProVarinati...we hope to rise to his lofty ranks.

Now this quote has us a bit worried about our choice. We are hoping that Baditude can ease our concerns with his mighty wisdom!

Long live the ProVarinati!

I have to admit some time back there was a black satin finish that showed premature signs of wear from allegedly normal use after only 2 days use. Provape took care of the problem after initially saying that it didn't fall under the warranty to replace it. It caused somewhat of a public relations fiasco on the boards, and within a week Provape decided to replace the Provari.

In the end, Provape did what was right even though they drug their feet initially. Since then I've not seen any issues reported; maybe this was a just single incident or Provape upped their quality control with the business that applies the carokote finish for them. Considering the number of Provari's they ship weekly I think they keep their quality control at the very pinnacle of standards.

I've had my satin black mini since April when I rewarded myself for my 1 year smoke-free anniversary. Its finish looks like the day I received it, and it is in daily use as my most used piece, both at home and on the go. On the go it fits in a front pants pocket. It's taken its spills with falls on the driveway when I get out of the car, forgetting as always that I rest it in my lap while driving. (It tends to roll away out of reach if left on the passenger seat.)

Grats on the Provari's!

I put this together a couple of days ago just to solve the same problem mentioned in the above post.
