What are the most common complaints about the ProVari?

[CountSmackula]

The one plus I can offer for VW (at least in my case) is when you have multiple gennys and swap them often. Also, when the coil's resistance goes up a bit as it 'seasons', and when it drops as crud collects... as long as the resistance is over 1.2Ω, the Vamo takes it in stride. Screw it down & vape away. My dos centavos.

I bought a Vamo recently because of all the hype about VW, I found it to be no better than VV in my use.

I too had a Vamo (for one day) played with it, was not impressed and actually prefer VV over VW, i have a Provari said to arrive today, and with the Vamo going in the mail, another Provari will be on order. I just don't want a Chinese mod and always be on my toes wondering if, more like when it's going to crap out on me. Reliability and accuracy is why I chose a Provari, not bells and whistles, because the more of those it has, the more areas it can fail.

Does this help?

I like the analogy at the end a lot. this world is full of fronts. thats all you learn to be growing up.

If you're not happy with your Provari, you can find a buyer easily. They hold their value very well. Oh wait.. this is the complaint thread... Oh I have one: It can appear as a weapon with the right atty. Be careful in public, you may give law enforcement something to be concerned about. (I speak from experience).

Almost a provari mini owner. My only complaint is that I have ordered mine, and have to wait till this Tuesday to get it in the mail. However, Provape.com shipped my order the same day, so I have no room to complain about waiting till Tuesday. Can't wait to fiddle with it and learn more about VV and the Provari features.

As I understood it, we would have the choice between V2.5 and V2, looking at the site, I just see the V2.5?

 

[Buzzsaw46]

The V2's have been moved to the clearance section, hope they will continue offering them.

 

[kileak]

It should have variable colored led option. I might get tired of my blue one some day.

If the V3 flops, you can bet the V2s will return

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, Since I haven't had a chance to read through all of the posts yet.

But

It sure would be nice if Provari would make the SS Endcap bases for the extended batteries... This way My Provari will be a little more stable when standing on end.....

I may have to see if a Metal Fabricator friend can make one up for me.

 

[JazzyTech]

That was one of the only gripes I could think of.

Miine would be the logo coming off on my mini- came to me from them very faint. Other than that wish they had variable power.

You know, after having a day to think about it, I do have ONE complaint. Not the Provari itself, but the extension cap: the base of the cap is not as wide as the standard cap and this makes it more prone to falling over. There, I found something to complain about; I feel better

I second that observation. I touch mine and knock it over on the table occasionally. When it falls, it goes THWACK! and scares everyone at the table. I've thought about putting a thick o-ring up at the top end so that it falls more silently. It needs training wheels.

The new 2.5 minis have "Provari Mini" deeply etched into the unit. It won't wear off.

I've wondered why they didn't just make an extension ring, (so we could just add the original battery cap) to the bottom? hmm.

I've kinda grown fond of the THWACK!

My dog, on the other hand...

I'd REALLY want an extension ring too. The flat cap is way less wobbly than the extension cap.

My only complaint is I ordered yesterday, and not here yet (lol). I did my research, and yes the price is on the high side, but you get what you pay for. I have a YJ2.0 a little over 2 months old and just out of warranty, broken center pin. I don't know what the hype is about vw. If you understand ohms law, you don't need it.
