Bombshell just seems like a standard Mechanical.
Kick is only 10 Watts. If you are into low Voltage vaping than it might be a good solution for you.

Provari will be more expensive but will last years and will provide more features and flexibility.

On a budjet and into under 10 Watt vaping you wouldn't go wrong with the Bombshell and Kick.

I think carto tanks and kicks go well together. And you can put anything on a provari and it will vape well, to a point. And bombshell stingers battery will last forever. So do you want the style, and the beauty of the provari and put whatever you want on it, or are you into the huge battery life and 6-8 ml carto tanks?

I think the main difference is simply this: do you want the option to use a mech (no voltage control) or not. Any mech with a kick in it will operate like a solid VW device, however, as time has proven (I'm not trying to start ANYTHING here) - there are mods out there that handle a regulated vape with much more consistency, such as the Provari.

So, if you go with the bombshell + kick - you have a decent VW device, and the option to get into purely mechanical, should you decide.

If you go with the Provari you get arguably the best VV device that will last you a lifetime, work as promised, BUT you will be limited to 3.5 amps which will not run an atomizer under 1.3ohms.

To me, that's the real difference here.

Nice. Well done for a Pseudo-Intellectual Wannabe Anarchist with a crush on Kathryn Winnick. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I do what I can but my PIWA limitations keep my explanations down to their bare minimums - I mean, I can explain things clearly and accurately but who wants to do that when you can use big words!

I have both and I do like both, but I like my Provari more. While I love the battery life on a Bombshell the trade off is it isn't very portable. I do take it out with my from time to time, but it's not as comfortable in my pocket as a Provari. Then there is the wonkiness of the kick that you would have to deal with. Sometimes the kick will loose connection and you have to "reset" it by unscrewing the top cap. I'm not exactly sure why it does this. I know it has something to do with it loosing it's ground signal somewhere. A bit of Noalox around the top cap threads and the kick ring threads helped, but it's still not perfect. Because of this I don't trust it and always bring a backup with me when ever I go out with it...my Provari.

Everything I just said can be said about the Bam (which I like better) as well.

currently owning: kick / mech mod / provari

i would say, go either mechanical, or get a provari. they are two different vapes, so you would have to try it out yourself to see which you would like.

but getting a kick for a mechanical does not equal the performance of a provari...

this is my soul opinion through my experiences... someone will be bound to come along and disagree with me... and that is their opinion...
