New Volcano Lava Tube rDNA 40 vs. Provari 3

[Mandi702]

Hi. I am trying to decide between the new Volcano Lava Tube 3 with the Evolve DNA40 chip or the Provari 3.

There would really be nothing to consider if the Provari went higher than 20watts, but since it doesn't I'm really concerned that it won't have enough power. I'm used to the vaporfi Vox2 which has 50watts.

I usually prefer a 1 to 1.5 ohms, but I like the idea that the Vox can do more if I ever want it to.

The quality and warranty with the Provari is what I'm after, and price isn't an issue, so if there is another option besides the 2 that would be better please feel free to recommend.

The Volcano caught my eye as it looks to be much higher quality than previous versions, plus it has the 40watts. Its price point is very close to Provari, but it is so new there just aren't really any good reviews on it.

I appreciate any help or comments...

I can't speak on the new lava tube, I can tell you the quality of P3 is great, but it doesn't fit everyone's vape.

The last lava tube I used was a v1, and honestly it sucked to the point I will never try another no matter what they do.

Thanks to both replies.. I'm now kinda leaning to the Diocdes 2380T. Which is basically the same as the pipeline but it can go up to 80watts depending on battery configuration. Only wish they were available in the U.S. But can't have it all, lol.

There are many members here who have them. Shipping is pretty quick. If I wanted a regulated tube mod, that's the one I would buy.

The original Vaporfi Vox was a $17 item according to my friends in Shenzhen.

You are doing the right thing.

If you're happy at 1.5, go with the ProVari. I saw some nice ones used in the Classies here.

With variable watt devices the resistance doesn't matter, you get the power you set as long as you're in the resistance range the mod can supply that power in. What is the highest wattage you like to vape at now? Do you think you might want to be able to go a bit higher in future?

The Provari is one of the most dependable mods out there and has fantastic support from ProVape, but if it doesn't do what you want in a mod, you'll have to live with that compromise.
