Any word on a Provari V3 based on DNA-20D?

That's why I purchased a Zmax V1,, not acurate so I got the V2 and it is accurate and I like it a lot, but for whatever reason I feel that I get a smoother more flavorful vape from my ProVari set at the same settings (wattage) with the exact same carto and juice. Maybe it is just in my head? lol
true, but its just a cool option to be able to adjust wattage as well as voltage, of course you cant move one up or down w/out the other depending on resistance, but just a cool option to have, the V2 chip shows you just about everything else you would want to know but to figure out watts you still have to go v x v / r in your head so just displaying the wattage would be kind of cool. and no i dont know why anyone would want more amps than what we have, triple coil maybe? :confused:

Being able to set power (watts), letting the voltage auto-adjust for the resistance of the atomizer, is simply more convenient when running gennie style RBA's. Of course you can adjust VV to any combination as well (no ohm's calculator required) by simply adding +2v to what ever resistance and then adjusting +/- 0.1v to taste (gives ~8 watts as a starting point). The higher amperage switch limit would allow for lower resistance coils (some folks are running gennie's 0.6-0.8ohm at 15-20 watts) which will always throw E1/E2 with the current 3.5amp limit. Even through the Provari V2 has a theoretical max power of ~21 watts (1.7ohm@6.0v), there is a physical limit built in (I think 14.5 watts).

It's not your imagination. The Provari has more consistent output regulation. They are both based on PWM (pulse width modulation) but somehow Provape has added a regulator that gives a flat read on an oscilloscope instead of the step pattern that comes out of just about everything else. So with Provari it's what you set is what you get. With most othe PWM devices you set the average voltage and it fluctuates (e.g. you set it to 4.0v and it bounces between 3.0v and 5.0v giving a 4.0 average)

PBasardo gave a great description of the difference: A PBusardo Video - PWM, Vrms, And Moving Forward - YouTube

Not just in your head. The Provari's patented Accuset microprocessor continuously monitors the battery output and atomizer resistance under load and makes adjustments on the fly to keep the user's pre-set voltage for the battery's entire charge. Therefore, your last vape will be as satisfying as the first on every battery. That is why the Provari's power switch starts blinking when it is time to change the battery, because there is no decline in the quality of the vape when the battery's charge gets low.

The processor used in the Provari is no cheapo like some other devices try to get away with. It's more expensive for Provape to make and one of the reasons for the higher cost of a Provari. It's what sets the Provari apart from all the others.
