And now for something completely different (Ordered my first Provari Post)

[new kid]

After so many “just ordered my ProVari” threads,I had to come up with something different. It has also been one of those days….

I must be going crazy; I cannot believe what I did.
I ordered my first ProVari - when my wife finds out I’m dead.

I have read all the posts and driveled over the reviews.
I had to know for myself what others hold so dear.

I have the Twist and a lava tube to boot.
Will the Provari in my hands put both of those to ruin?

I got my tracking number and I‘m checking twice a day.
I only wish I put a GPS on the mailman the other day.

It should be here in the morning and my boss is out of town.
I guess I’ll have to work from home to behold it when it comes.

I still have reservations because the menus look so silly
But then again I might be fine since I already think I’m crazy.

Oh, my wife will not kill me. She was wondering why it took me so long to order one. It just sounded good .


Before someone asks.... I am NOT a poet and I know it I just wanted to have some fun.

Congrats on the Provari. I'm sure you will love it.

Congrats! I had some eGos and a Lavatube at first. Told the wife not to get mad because I was about to get the end all (for me) vaporizer.

Love it! Sold off the other mods. You'll love it. I didn't understand till I got mine.

Congratulations! Once you use it, will realize what all the noise is about. Very dependable and solid vape.

I just wanted to pop in and tell you that the title of your thread put the first smile I have had all day on my face. Thanks! Oh and I hear only good things about provaris.....except that they don't like really low ohm toppers.

Yeh, the title got me to open this thread, too. Big MP fan. And hopefully, in a month or two, a Provari fan also Enjoy your new toy!

did you get it yet?

It showed up a day later than I expected but you cannot trust the USPS tacking anyway. It is quite a piece of hardware, unmistakeable manufacturing quality although it has a few cosmetic defects which really surprised me. However, most people would not notice them.

Vape experience is better than my previous mods. Mostly in cleaner flavors. Got to try a dual coil on it but I was not really impressed the performance of the cartomizer.

The one surprise is battery life with a 18650 is a 12-18 hours. My VV Tube got a day and a half. Vaping at the same level.

The menus are not nearly as hard as the videos make them look. Once you figure out the flow it is quite easy but not as easy as the VV Tube with separate buttons.

The higher the resistance on your coil the more vape time on the battery you will get. I try to stay between 2.8 and 3.3 ohms as the range on the provari will still give me the wattage i need for my sweet spot

I get easily 12-18 hours on my 18490 with my ProVari. I don't even feel the need to go buy the extension cap for using an 18650.

I vape at 4.8-5.2 on 3ohm carto tanks.

Lavatubes do use PWM, which I hear does help keep battery life in check.

Exactly. Think about this. 2.5ohms @ 5v is 10 watts @ 2 amps of current. 1.5ohms @ 3.9v is also 10 watts, but at 2.6 amps of current. The lower the current draw, the longer the battery will last.

Interestingly, I am running the exact same devices/coils as I was on the VV tube and sometimes at lower setting - the same setting on the ProVari often tastes burned.

Good point, it may very well be the PWM that is the difference. Either way it is not a problem. I just need to get some better batteries than the IMR's, trying to find some Panasonic's in the 2250 mah but they are sold out most places.

Wow, what do you set your ProVari at to get that much life out of the 18490? I have thought about moving down to that size batteries and maybe getting my wife a mini.

I think you quoted the answer already

I don't do anything special really. 3ohm carto and vape around 4.8-5.2.
