Made a drastic jump from an MVP 2.0 to a Provair V2.5

[Nacon]

I've been using an MVP 2.0 for 8 months now and was convinced that it's the best deal for its price, you can't get anything better than an MVP 2.0 when you're spending that much money. Well....for my birthday I was given a PROVARI V2.5 ZOMBIE EDITION and the game's been changed. Got the 2000 mah 18650's with plans on getting the 3100 mah version. 2 of the 2000 mah batteries is more than enough to cover a day of my chain vapage.

Things I noticed upon getting the Provari are pretty cool. The weight...when you hold a Provari, you know you're holding quality, the feel of it in your hands signifies this easily. The 1 button control isn't that bad either, very simple, very easy to use. On it I had a modified protank with airflow controller and it's vaping significantly better than the MVP 2.0, even at the same exact voltage. The taste, the consistency of the vapor, it's thickness, it's all noticeably different.

Just want to put it out there that I'm grateful for this gift and the fact that a loved one shelled out the loot to get me such a wonderful vape. It's my first real real mod, and now I'm looking forward to a kayfun and some other high end goodies that will complement the Provari.

I wanted to post this up just to share that in addition to now being a fellow satisfied Provari customer, that I would like to thank other Provari users for being so adamant about this vape. I finally see what the big deal is, and it's not hype. It's the real deal.

Congrats but lets be fair , comparing a device you can buy today for $34.95 (check VaporJoes) to a device that cost on average FOUR to FIVE times as much coin (if getting an MVP for $34.95) it better vape a hell of a lot better.

Macon, congrats on moving up to the Provari! somebody loves you to get such a nice gift. My wife gifted me my Provari and it was love at first vape. Now my MVP's are occasional users/backups Enjoy your new mod in happiness and good health

Evaluated a ProVari Mini for 2 weeks. I keep going back to the MVP2. No chasing batteries during the day - I just use it knowing it's going to last. Easy and quick menu controls, it's light and at $40, I can buy a bucket full.

Really liked the form factor and build quality of the ProVari so I see what folks are talking about. But the vape quality? Too many variables besides the battery at play here. I think it has more to do with the topper, the juice and the coil job inside. And yes, the ProVari power regulation is awesome but honestly... I can't really tell the difference in 0.1 or even 0.2 of a volt regardless of what device I'm using.

I will be anxious to see what ProVape has come up with in version 3 though.

Got the 2000 mah 18650's with plans on getting the 3100 mah version.

If you are speaking of the 3100 mah AW (black & silver), NO that is a protected ICR battery. The Provari requires the use of ONLY high-drain IMR batteries.

The Provari requires the use of ONLY high-drain IMR batteries.

I know they go against ProVape's AW endorsement but what about these:

High Drain 18650 2900mAh Hybrid IMR Li-ion Rechargeable Battery PD2900


I was hoping you'd turn up.

I considered getting extensions for the Mini.

Yup, those Orbtronics NCR18650PD 2900mah will work in a Provari as long as they are button-tops. They are actually re-branded Panasonic NCR18650PD 2900mah. Both are high drain IMR hybrids.

This thread is not a discussion of preferences or suggestions. OP is happy with his gift, let him be happy, for Pete's sake.

This Provari and other mods bickering belongs somewhere that's not here. Cut it out.

The Provari is my first mod and I love it and I'm all the more happy about my purchase every time I see someone loving it after moving from anything else. I don't mind what people love to use; I'm happy with what I have and wish everyone to be happy with what they have. you are very lucky to have received one as a birthday present!

I'm currently using AW 2200 mAh ICR's with no issue whatsoever in my Provari... All AW batteries are made with great quality batteries (Panasonic, Sanyo and the likes) and I have only had great results with them in all my applications (vaping and high-powered flashlights). Nipple-top IS a must, though...

 

[The Ocelot]

It's very nice you're happy! ProVari's are lovely, but not for everyone, hence I'm sure the deleted posts. As I often say, the ProVari is the best VV device in it's class, but...

It is not variable wattage; it is not designed for sub-ohming and it only goes to 15 watts. If those features are important to a vaper, they should buy something else and not waste time putting people down for being excited about finding a device that works for them. We are very lucky to have so many vaping choices at the moment and should be happy for each other. It's all about quitting smoking, and really (shhhh - don't tell) having fun doing it.

Cheers Nacon! Happy Vaping Trails to you! Come down and visit us in the Saloon.

Congratulations on your new Provari Nacon! You will find it to be a very reliable and consistent unit for sure. You mentioned stepping up to a Kayfun as well. A fine choice to compliment the Provari indeed. You will also find that a well built KF or for that matter a Russian will lead you to a whole other realm of vaping. Just make sure to study how to build them correctly and the satisfaction factor will pay you the dividends.

I am fortunate to have a host of other mods but, when I leave the house, I reach for my Provari's. They have never let me down yet.

And by the way, Happy birthday!

Congrats! Unfortunately, owning a ProVari comes with a price. You will be criticized for appreciating such an outdated, over priced, limited, ugly, heavy and obsolete device. You will be accused of using it as a status symbol...you will become a "fanboi" because you like it.

It's ok.....you're amongst friends.

I enjoy all aspects of vaping. Sub-ohm drippers on mechs all the way to a rebuilt EVOD on an ego battery. A 1.2 ohm build in a kayfun lite on top of a ProVari is very hard to beat for an all day, trouble free vape. It simply works every single time. I'll always have at least 1 on me. I doubt you'll ever need to take advantage of ProVapes customer service or service department, but if you do, you'll be impressed. They stand behind their products.

 

[distortoblotto]

I second the 1.2 ohm build.

 

[Darthvong]

I'm a recent owner of a Provari as well and cannot get over how much it has changed my vaping experience. Get a Kayfun too. I built my first coil last night on one and it was very satisfying.

Congrats!!!!! I made the same jump back in March!
Thrilled to see that you are enjoying the best PV on the market for you! First thought on the first provari vape for me was"I get it; this is perfect."
They are truly worry free PVs that will never let you down! Congrats on the upgrade; it is definitely a great unit!!!! By far the best on the market, IMHO and the opinion of many others!!!! Enjoy it!!!!!

Congrats on the Provari OP! They're great devices. My MVP 2 has been collecting dust, save for the few times I've used it as a base to mount my coils on. It's handy that way, as I can check ohms, and then fire the coil before putting in the cotton to set it without needing to unscrew the atty and put it on another device. Also don't need a torch this way. I also highly recommend a Kayfun style tank. These give great taste, don't leak if set up correctly, and carry a good amount of juice. Welcome to the Provarinati.

 

[jklotz]

What an awesome gift! Congrats man! Let the naysayers say what they will, but the provari just works. All the time, no excuses, no fiddling. It just works.

I've got both, and use mainly the Provari, but don't throw out that MVP - it's nice to have both. The MVP makes for a nice backup, or, in my case, I like to have different flavors going at one time.

I second, third, quadruple, whatever, the Kayfun sentiment. My personal preference is for the ehpro KFL+, works great on the Provari!

 

[Nacon]

Wow that was a lot of hate real quick, but the love trumped it anyways so who cares. Good looking out people! Just wanted to share my excitement AND satisfaction with this device. When it comes to vaping I like a lot of options, but also to keep it simple. Can't so no to a gift either!! Considering the jump in quality and the fact that I will now have haters in the vape world for my status icon...I'm obviously doing something right. Something I learned while working fulltime in the music scene...when you're headed in the right direction, you're gonna get haters.

Now back to the OP:

Good looks! Thank you! Keeps me having faith in ECF. Haters gon' hate!

Well said dude! Thank you! I believe what you're saying about the KayFun, thing's a beast! I may get the Russian look-alike because I order a lot on MBV. Either way my game's been upped so i gotta up the game! Really looking forward to hitting that spot with style and consistency. Provari ...!

If you're gonna go with a KFL and if I may be so bold- look into either a black edition from Artemus or a V2 from ehpro
I'll link below- I have an authentic and those two, I prefer the v2 the most with the black being closely behind. They have larger airflow holes and are a tad easier to fill- IMHO.
