I got mine in the first pre-order, and feel it is the best decision I've made in a long long time.

Get the extension cap and the 18650's if you do a lot of vaping throughout the day; it's worth it.

Little aspects of Provari that I love (besides the techno advanced stuff- which has gotten raves from everyone who has tried it):
Fit and finish; sturdy
Hand feel is excellent
Button is super; easy to use yet solid.
Drip well comes in very handy.. the facility of its excellent VV range allows one to get pretty ambitious with the drips as you know it will efficiently vaporize all that juice.

If you drip I suggest pairing it with a Pyrex glass Tip.... unless you are using carto's or tanks, this is the ultimate drippin machine, and those tips never get juice in your mouth.

YouTube - Provari close look

My very poor first attempt at being a film maker :)
Close up video of my Provari with some notes added.

I actually liked your video. Most videos do not get close enough to see the finer points. The biggest thing I learned is I love the texture of the finish.

Great mod! I agree with every poster on this thread. It is the best thing going and well worth the cost and the wait. I love the controls and how simple it is to use, plus all the features. The low batt warning light is also awesome. No more guessing when your battery is getting low. It starts to flash, but still lasts quite a while before you need to change batts, or recharge. No more guessing if you have enough battery before you leave the house. :)

Whats not to like VV mod with all the fixings on-board micro chip to protect and monitor the important stuff like a 16 Second Cutoff, Short Circuit/Atomizer Protection, On/Off Mode, etc etc. All that they advertised in their website that the pro vari does, it is doing. I specially like the fact that I don't have to carry around a multimeter, screw driver and not to mention the peace of mind that when I set the unit to off it'll stay off.

If I had to neat pick I'd say the batt spring, they dislodge with little effort and thats with both caps and secondly the 18650 cap is of a darker shade than the tube.

One thing that I found out though is that when you wanna get an accurate reading of batt life; back your atty about a turn or 2 just to disengage the atty from the batt, then you'll get a more accurate reading.

When using an 18650 battery, when you put the extended cap on and you hear a squeaking sound, thats the metal on metal galling on the threads. You could be putting the cap on a slight angle and this will result in loss of thread just back it off slowly and try again. Or you are doing it right , in which case you just need to apply a bit of pressure pushing in the cap to get a smooth turn. Try to remember the cap has a spring its there to keep pressure on the batt so it won't move and act as a contact for the negative. Ignoring the squeaking sound will result in loss of thread or putting naalox on it will only protect it so far, with an application of a little pressure, threads will last longer.

true; how can you not recommend your favorite, and especially one that is heads and shoulders above the rest?

I've had both "smart pv's".... the "other" is great too, but ... not as user friendly.

I have a second Vari coming.

My favorite atty choice for my Vari, is a regular 901 anywhere from 2.2 to 3.0 Ohm... I get the easiest draw and a wide range of power on hand ... like knowing you have power to spare... what's a sporty car that's small and light but with tons of horsepower?
Fantastic isn't it? Now, try to resist the urge to recommend a Provari to the people asking:

"what mod should I buy"

It is tough, real real tough.
