Big deal about Provari's

[BoyNamedStacy]

Add me to the Provari owner list! Just got my order in last night. Super stoked, too! Now if I could locate a Pyrex tube for the PRO-V tank I ordered I'd be set. Well, that is until more Z-Atty pro's become available. You see, I'm tired of buying the cheap crap once a month and this time I decided to do some research and went big. Good times are in my future

As a owner of a Vmax v2, Zmax, and ProVari v2 I would have to say that ProVari makes a way better built device. The Zmax improved over the Vmax but the machining is garbage on the case. ProVari hits smoother with more flavor... Zmax hits harder especially with the stacked battery config. I prefer the single battery for better flavor around 9 watts. But my go to device is my ProVari hands down!

Im going to go with the bombshell or the silver bullet first. The provari is pretty sexy, but its just to damn expensive for what it is. Then agian Ill probably buy one before christmas...VAS vaping aquistition syndrome

One word: YES!

Of course, you could also start out with a Joye Ego Twist. They're a lot cheaper, and some darn nice systems.

The Provari has a lot of nice features. On and off button that is hard to accidentally activate. 3.5 Amp Limit. Built in Ohm meter. But the price tag is very high. I found a mod that is almost like the mid range VV except has a 4 amp limit. Thats a difference with 6 volts of 6 watts. Which is a very nice range from 3-24. Is the provari that amazing? Or is it the In thing right now?

Care to sell your Provari? I know someone who's VERY interested.

I love my provari for the exact reason you dislike it. Its solid and heavy in my hand. I'll admit there are times its ungainly and it really looks garrish at a formal occasion but for the day to day it can't be beat. And as an added bonus it doubles as a self defense tool!
My point is taste in hardware is as subjective as taste in juice. There really is no perfect vape, just the perfect vape for you

When I purchased a DID RBA atty. I owned numerous Chinese built mods. The cheap ones and the higher priced one. I had no luck with a good vape. I decided to purchase a Provari, and was blown away by the build and performance.

I also got lucky, and found a sucker to trade some of my Chinese mods for a Buzz Pro. I'm now proud to say that I vape AMERICAN!

The pyrex tubes sold by Clouds of Vapor, made by Siam Mods, will work with the Pro-V endcaps. The tubes fit a little loose initially, but once set up with a carto, a snug-fitting drip tip, and allowing the o-rings to absorb some e-juice before and after filling, the tank fits snug. This was a duel project between Chohan and myself in the following thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tanks/314551-quest-glass-pyrex-tanks-27.html

The tubes are available in regular (35mm carto) or XL (45mm carto), in clear, very dark blue (almost black), and green for $15. The regular sizes are currently out of stock. Siam Mods - Glass Tanks

Thanks for the heads up Baditude! Yeah, I sent COV an email last night asking when they think they will get more standard clear tubes in stock. I am still waiting for a reply....

That sounds really strange.....

I was hoping to get just the glass tube for the Pro-V tank. I didn't see any on the site, did I miss them?

its just to damn expensive for what it is.

Is it? It's a well-made product that's manufactured in the U.S.

Also check out Phiniac

The Phiniac tubes are the wrong diameter to fit the Pro-v endcaps.

However, Phiniac clear tubes will fit on the Bella and Elegance tanks sold by Hoosier Vapes. Below is a Phiniac pyrex tube that was custon color sandblasted with the design by Phiniac, and fitted to the acrylic endcaps of an Elegance tank, which comes with a polycarbonate tube.

By the way, it is a clear tank. The green you see is the color of the juice, Ecto Plasma from Juicy Vapor.

More pics of my tanks in the link in my signature below.

The mouthpiece and top endcap are one-piece, and twist off the tube to allow easy juice filling. The cartomizer fits into the inside part of the top cap. The Bella takes a 35mm carto (Boge) and the Elegance takes a 45mm carto (Smoktech DC).

That sounds really strange.....

I don't know why it sounds really strange. The rubber or silicone o-rings do absorb small amounts of e-juice which causes them to swell slightly, increasing a snug fit between the cartomizer and endcaps.

On the issue of size. It's not that big:

I'd like a provari, but I won't buy a current version after seeing the Evolve DNA20 (A PBusardo Video - VaperCon 2012 Part 2 - YouTube)

This is going to force them to use it or update their system, in my opinion.

 

[Xianos]

i want one sooo bad, but i keep telling myself wait for the green led to come back in.

sigh, mid-late nov is so far away it seems.

 

[SonoViva]

I'm doing okay without one, but I know one day Provari envy will get me! I still have a lot to learn in the meantime.

 

[Doogmar]

Last upgrade they had, you could send your Provari in, and for $20 they would upgrade it for you. Also I heard it was a pretty fast turn around time.

It's pretty obvious that when the Provari came out it was the best of it's kind.
Seems to have held an exclusive spot with build quality and features.
This stuff isn't friggen rocket science though, whether I'm a noob or not.
Things are different now. Cases being built just about, if not as good as Provari!
Features, etc. Provari says "We use components from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, China and the USA."
Some of these same components are probably finding there way in to other models now!
Sooner or later, Provari will have to lower prices to survive.
Every week something new and better is coming out.
