Looks like 1 that he's possibly missing is that "Joker" (green and purple combo) that the guy on eBay has listed now.
Are Provari tube mods that good ?

It's a function of the ProVari p3.
It's also a function of the Radius, Procyon, and The Classic, but not one you can read directly. Those models just tell you to change the battery out when its shot.
The 2.5's do basically the same thing, but they throw a code, and won't fire.
They are all safe as houses, either way.
IQ just takes some of the guess work out of figuring out just how good, or bad, your batteries are.

Isn't that it circled in the picture on the right?
The gold flat top one circled on the left ... I've never seen except in that picture
The one on the right looks like a blue green hybrid, a stock color option for some time...the goldie with the concentric rings, never seen that before, maybe a prototype.Isn't that it circled in the picture on the right?

One of the nice things you get with the 2.5's, but not the other models, is the ability to check voltage vs. voltage under load.
I don't think so. If you'll look at the other 2 pics that were posted that are brighter...that 1 looks to be the green-blue hybrid color combo. Appears to be the same blue as some he has over at the left on the shelf that's above it....to me anyway.
I have a Tiffany Blue colored Classic that I bought from ProVape last January, and I don't see that color in the pics either.
I thank you for that info that you shared a while back...that could possibly be also used as an indicator of battery health...if checking the voltage with the unit on and then off power mode, and you see a large difference in voltage, it would indicate that the cell has built up internal resistance...I might have to play around with that with a few different cells of varying IQ ratings, and see what the numbers show
The thing that initially turned my eye to focus on ProVape over others was the strong emphasis on safety. That and all metal construction. ProVari always was and will be for years to come, a safe, durable, reliable mod.
The Classic was a model he wasn't focusing on. His main focus was the ProVari, and seconded by the P3.
There are several P3's, Procyon and Radius missing from the pic. I'm sure Zen has (most all of) them somewhere.

That's what I used it for before IQ.
IQ on a p3 is more convenient though.
The new menus are faster to use than the 2.5 menu, in general.
I will be interested to hear what you find.
My P3 IQ is currently reading 76-80 with a brand new LG 18650HG (a really excellent battery). The problem with IQ is that it is looking at a lot of other things. Which I think drove a lot of P3 users crazy when the P3 came out.
I just talked to him (Zen, Mike) last week. I believe the number of ProVaris in his collection is 196 now.
Or it could have been 169? I got alot of info dumped into my small mind on that phone call.
Great / Smart man that one.

I'm targeting looking at the cells when they drop to 3.7-3.8 volt range, just being curious is all, I don't anticipate any big discoveries. Just want to compare an old tired cell against a brand new one.
It's not like the cells don't tell you when they are getting old.
They way I find the suspect ones is by going through the rack of them with a DMM, once they build up some internal resistance, they stop holding a full charge resting. This of course, is my sign...as Larry would say...that I have way too much time on my hands
