I own three Provari 2.5 and the new P3. The P3 has the new firmware and will fire my 0.6 ohm RDA. Most of the time I use my Kayfun Lite RTA with a 1.5 ohm coil on the Provari.
If you are looking strictly for clouds and high wattage, the Provari is not for you. It was designed for flavor, reliability, dependability, durability, and safety by a manufacturer who will support it for life. I use my mech and RDA when I want clouds.
For MY vaping style, the Provari is the best vaping device. But as you know vaping is subjective, and it all depends upon one's priorities, needs, and expectations. My priorities are flavor, then vapor. I'm primarily a standard ohm, low wattage (10 watts) vaper.
Believe it or not i used to vape 45mg's with spinners and protank's. When i moved to low power mods i dropped to 36mg's knowing i'd be getting more vapour from my mod. Eventually i bought a Provari 2.5 and continued to use that with various tanks. Then though, i bought a couple of Subtank Mini's, so i bought a couple of Vamo V7's and started using the RBA section of the Subtank Mini building 0.5 ohm coils. That's when i lowered my nicotine down to 24mg's.
Now i'm using a high powered box mods. I've got a sigelei 100 watt plus, an ipv3 and an ipv4. I use RTA's with these devices. As it is i've got a Billiow V2, a Goliath and a Zephyrus. I like building sub ohm dual coils ohm'ing in at about 0.3-0.2. I do need to get some 23 and 22awg wire for bigger clouds but that's another story. Anyway, when i started using these RTA's with higher power i knew i should lower my nicotine consumption quite considerably. Eventually i settled on 9mg's. And that's what i'm doing today, larger clouds of 9mg vapour.
Today i still enjoy the experience i get from my Provari topped off with either my authentic Kayfun V4 or my Russian 91% with a 1.8ohm coil using 29awg kanthal. I love the fact that this hardware is about as good as it gets as far as build quality and durability is concerned. I like the great flavour i get from the Kayfun and the Russian, it never fades, unlike a Protank would in about 3 or 4 hours, i did get sick of that !. Using the Provari like this is as close to smoking a cigarette as it gets. It produces little vapour, and because of this i use 24mg's of nicotine in my juice. My Provari is the device i use if want to vape when i'm out and about, which i don't, not very often anyway. When i'm at home it's never out of arms reach.
Something else which is never out of arms reach is my box mod with a dual coil build RTA on top. I like the big clouds it produces and it's got a lot of flavour too.
The way things have changed has forced me to lower my nic content.
The clouds i can produce with my high power devices aren't so huge that i get the same amount of nicotine as i did or do with my Provari. If my base nicotine liquid starts at 72mg's and i cut it down to 9mg then that's a reduction of 75% from the 36mg i was vaping at, even more from 45mg's. The larger clouds allow me to use less nicotine even though the clouds are bigger.
So i've got My Provari and kayfun with 24mg's nicotine. I've got my box mod and RTA with 9mg's nicotine. I use my box mod more than i do my Provari, a lot more !.
In conclusion i'd say that for me using higher powered devices which produce more vapour encourages me to vape an e liquid with a much lower nicotine content which, at the end of the day is less than i vape with a Provari type of device. The nicotine is a quarter of the amount i used before but the clouds aren't four times bigger. And when i move to thicker wire and bigger clouds i'll reduce my nicotine by 50% to 4.5mg's. Eventually i'll be using my Provari with 24mg's for about 30 minutes a day. As it is i use it for about an hour or two.
High powered mods help me reduce my nicotine addiction. The provari does not. In this respect only i'd say, for me, Provape's Provari is pretty useless.
And one day i'll be able to kick my cliquey "Provari" addiction.
