I bought a red one from the classies Saturday myself.....at 125.00, I couldnt pass it up.
I dont have a Reo but did buy a squonker from Vapage. Didnt do it for me. And with the Kayfun type toppers, Im in heavan. Its a dripper, and/or a Tank....and the taste is something to behold.
No...I think Stormy beat me to it. I actually saw it last night, almost picked it up...but then thought of all the gifts I still have left to buy.
When I woke up this morning, I grabbed my iPad and thought "If it is still there, it was meant for me!" So I sent a PM.
But, sadly, I was later informed that someone had beat me to it. Now I see Stormy over in the Saloon talking about it - so at least I know that if I didn't get it, it is nonetheless going to a worthy home.
We are not sure, we are so secret we don't even talk about it with other overtly Semovar carrying folk.
1st rule of Semovar club is put the kettle on, 2nd is don't talk about it.
I got my chrome Provari for $140 in their blemish sale. There was no blemish but it's minus the logo. I use it everywhere I go. I just can't seem to be satisfied with anything else. I bought some other things for the social occasion when I don't want to look weird with a big mod with extended cap and RDA, lol. But I just can't bring myself to use anything else.
I bought my first ProVari because I was very disappointed with the build quality of the crap coming from China... I had a Vamo, and the center pin pushed through the insulator so it grounded out... Probably my fault for screwing things down too tight, but whatever, it broke... Had a Lavatube 2.0, and while it worked fine it was a bit wonky at times... The rattlesnake sound bothered me, and almost everything on it was either burnt tasting or not enough... I couldn't find a sweet spot no matter what topper I put on the stupid thing... Zmax was okay, definitely better than the Lavatube or Vamo, but there was still something missing... Like the Lavatube, I could never find a good sweet spot no matter what...
Having amassed enough mods and batteries to have paid for 2 ProVari's at this point, I decided to bite the bullet and get one from the classies. I found one for $100 that was an old beat up V1. It got here, scratched all to heck, dirty center pin, just worn out... Or at least it LOOKED worn out... I grabbed some alcohol, q-tips, and a pencil eraser and started to work on the center pin... Soon enough I had it shining... Cleaned out the tube, put some noalox on the threads, and what do ya know it looked like crap with it's old faded ProVari logo, but that thing vaped like a dream... I found a sweet spot for my toppers within minutes.
I knew the search was over! Nice, smooth vape, no more rattlesnake chattering coils. It just sang with a smooth ProVari hissssssss... I hand polished it to a mirror finish and it was glorious and beautiful once again! Then I sent it to ProVape to get upgraded to V2, when they sent it back there was a handwritten letter from someone there that admired the polishing job. Pretty cool folks!
Needless to say, the ProVari is now my APV of choice... Sure, I'll try others (Just like I have tried Android phones in the past) but I'll always have a ProVari in the stable. It's what works the best, for me...
My reasoning isn't in-depth. I bought one because I wanted one.
You guys are making it way to easy for a semi-nube to decide where part of my soon to be had bonus is going......I've mastered the Kanger head rebuilding and getting board with that already, and a ProVari with a KFun on top is sounding like it will be my new vaping combo soon enough.
Made in USA. I work in manufacturing and I go out of my way to support American-made. I was once a doubter, however...
^what rings are those? Waiting on mine and want to get a ring to make it look similar to yours. Thanks!
Loki rings. The drip tip on the left is the 9mm drip tip from Loki, too.

A single reason? Reliability. It works. It keeps working. No matter what you do to it, it keeps working.
2nd reason? Durability. Drop it out of a 7 story bldg onto concrete, it keeps working.
3rd reason? Made in the USA.
4th reason? Safety spelled out for us dummies that know nothing about battery safety.
5th reason? Power for the small size. Makes everything taste better.
6th reason? Low maintenance. Clean it when you remember... or not. Still works.
7th reason? Solidly built. Well made. Fit and finish flawless, threads turn like high end stereo equipment.
8th reason? Simplicity. Simple to operate once you are used to it, and simple to use. You can screw something on the top, you can use it.
9th reason? Comfortable... in the thousands of comments, not one person said it was too heavy, too light, too big, too small, it fits.
10th reason? It's pretty and comes in colors. Doesn't look like a polished section of plumbing pipe.
Oops. You said 1 reason. Sowwy
