Anything better than ProVari?

5pc Vision Nano 510 Bottom Coil Clearomizer [01-F-4] - $12.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail
2.2 ohm at this site. I believe they can be ordered from the manufacturer in different resistances.

Good find. I don't recall where I got my Nano's from, possibly from Discount Vapors. I recently was looking for links for a post to recommend a Nano and Altsmoke was the only vendor at the time that had them in stock. Most likely vendors do offer them in multiple resistance when they have them in stock.

Thanks; congratulations to you, too!

I wonder if it would be cheaper and simpler to use this tank for sampling different brands/flavors instead of dripping. It is not a cartotank, it is a tank with a bottom coil, right?

Do you guys think it is a good idea to use the Kanger Protank to sample different flavors instead of dripping? Can I just put a little in it instead of filling the whole tank? If I do not like it, I can just wash it and try a different brand/flavor. Can it be easily washed with water?

Thanks.

I took an old Carto, pulled out the filler and would drip two or three drops down the side to try a juice. You can rinse it quick, blow dry from the battery connection end into a paper towel and try a different juice. T

his worked for me until I invested in the RDA Atomizer, ~$9.00 from Madvapes; http://www.madvapes.com/the-octopus-rda.html
You don't have to wrap replacements until you feel like taking that leap, and can buy replacement wicks; http://www.madvapes.com/1-7-ohm-replacement-coil-for-the-octopus-rda.html

I use this site for my adapters & other hardware, I don't care if they're made of SS or Zinc, I'm not hammering nails. Even when dropped, I've only had one adapter break and none were inoperative out of the box. Everyone has their go to site, this happens to be mine for the Hardware.

The Darwin is adjustable in 0.1 watt increments from 4.2 to 12.7

Yeah, I read that which was why I considered spending the extra C Note, unfortunately OFS was the Quantity listed.

The Provari is a topfeeder. I just became a bottom feeder. I like bottom feeding better, so I have to say that there is something better than a Provari.

My Mvp Itaste. I like it better than the Provari for it's form factor. But I wasn't convinced better than Provari because the long term durability isn't proven and it's voltage limitations are lower than the Provari. But it kills the Provari in battery life.

Recently I became a Bottom Feeder and bought a VV Bogger Box from boggerboxmods. Now My Provari is gathering cobwebs.

To be fair in bottom feeding, Some other choices are
The Reo Grande which has a reputation for Provari like durability.
The VV Reo Grande is still too new to say but has VV.
Also many are picking up the Vmod from Vapeage.

Bottom feeding on the right Atomizer is the best vaping experience that I've found.
So yes there is something arguably better than TopFeeding and since the Provari is a Topfeeder by extension there is something better than the Provari.

Please Provari FanBoy Club don't lynch me for stating my opinion.

Has anybody tried this? It is called CE3 Cartomizer - Elite Bottom Coil Cartomizer (5pc).

They're similar to other Carto/Clearos, smal capacity- usually 1-1.2ml and you'll need to fill it with a syringe not terribly difficult at home, but you'll get some strange looks when doing it while you're in public.

The "superiority" of the ProVari, like that of the REO, is based off of it's durability, warranty, and customer service. Not because it works better than anything else. You won't get an argument from me.

So hopefully this thread is still active enough that I can ask my question here. After seeing all the posts about why to choose a provari, I'm sold on it as a VV device but my real question isn't really addressed here. If the components of a quality vape are vapor production, throat hit and flavor, I wonder if the real question is "Does the Provari provide the best combination of above mentioned qualities?"

I admit that I am relatively new to vaping and don't consider myself an expert at anything except maybe reading other people's posts. I have totally given up analogs since around the first week of January so my EgoTwist and ViviNova Clearomizer definitely did their job. Now that I am a full time vapor, I want higher quality vape and I am willing to pay for it but just can't decide which way to jump. If I really want a quality vape, it seems like mechanical mods with low resistance are the way to go. I'm just very intimidated about the mechanical expertise required even though the tutorials make it seem at least do-able. Can anyone comment on why I would go with a Provari rather than a mech mod and genesis style tank?

My main concern is whether it is worth the trouble to go the "difficult" mechanical route for the potential added flavor or just get the Provari for the reliable "easy" VV. Does the Provari have any impact on flavor, throat hit or vapor versus any other VV device? Is the difference between mech mods and Provari worth the hassle?

some people prefer the idea of variable wattage over variable voltage (though I contend they are the same thing).... .

VW allows you to vape at the same wattage no matter the resistance of the coil, no? With VV you need to adjust the voltage based on the resistance of the coil to get the desired wattage. I'm just learning, so correct me if I'm wrong!

 

[Ferrel1134]

I like having control of my flavor throat hit and built in safety. That's why I got a provari. Yes with some mech mods you can add a kick to have that function but I just don't see the value of a mech mod at this point. I'm not a Lr vapor. Someday if I can afford a gg mech mod for my collection and show off ability I might get one but for daily vaping I'm provari all the way.

 

[PLANofMAN]

See when you make a post like that, Metonym, we have to start talking about specifics...and that tends to bring the haters out of the woodwork. For all of the ProVari's dated LED look, it boasts the most precise electronics of any VV device out there. It also lacks many of the "features" that many chinese made devices have. Because of ProVape's proprietary Accuset technology, the ProVari boasts the cleanest, most consistent vape of any VV or VW device out there. In fact, the ProVari is probably the closest you can get to having a mech mod, without having a mech mod. Devices equipped with the DNA 20 chipset are the next best thing to a ProVari (and it can be argued, that in some ways, the DNA 20 is superior).

You will find that most people who own a ProVari wish they had purchased one sooner. Read some of the threads in the ProVari section of the forum. That will give you a better idea of what people think of it than anything I can say.

I own a ProVari, and I will always own a ProVari.

Good questions.. I think PLANofMan has given you a great answer regarding the Provari.. it simply is best in class..but your question is really multiple questions in my mind.

1). If we are talking specifically about flavor, throat hit and vapor production..nothing touches a good mech mod with a well coiled Genesis atomizer or a rebuildable dripping atty.. everything depends on your ability to construct a well functioning coil and the lower the ohms the more "alive" the mech mod/atty becomes. There is a learning curve (one that I am very much still on) but it is a relatively simple skill to learn if one has patience and time..which leads to

2). The majority of people that I know that vape (and we have converted just about everyone in my office to vaping now) have no interest whatsoever in "fiddling" with their device...they simply want the shortest and easiest path to getting a good vape. I totally respect that and agree with it ..which is why

3)My answer to you would be - both. If reliability,ease of use and consistency are your main priorities..Provari no doubt .. put a battery in, stick your preferred device on and off you go.. My all day vape is a provari with a boge cartomizer in a phiniac tank.. simple, almost indestructible, consistent, no-muss-no fuss..However, when I get home..the phiniac takes a break and the mech mods, gennys and rda's come out to play.. sometimes I have to fiddle with them a little, I don't think they are pocket friendly (at least mine aren't)...but the flavor, TH and vapor production is off the chart..so..you said:

You have to judge that - If it were me and I needed one device to rule all - Provari..and yes and I think it is a far better VV device than anything out there by a long shot..but if I were after both reliability and flavor and TH and vapor production .. I would get the provari first and then get myself a cheap chinese mech mod (some can be found for as cheap as $35.00) and a cheap genny (I have seen them as low as $8.00)..and start playing with them.. I think you will soon find that the answer to your question is indeed...Both

Nice post ^^^^^^^^. Well said.

 

[SawBoss]

This is "pocket friendly".

 

[SawBoss]

This is even more "pocket friendly".

 

[Dan33]

Do you get strange looks when you pull that thing out in public? Is it even a good idea to use it in the open while walking on a street?

 

[Ferrel1134]

I use my provari in public all the time.
