Many people love their Twists. They did not work so well for me though. I purchased a pair less than two weeks ago - sold them both yesterday.

ProVape spoiled me. I'd get the ProVari, if your funds allow for it.

Remember though, this is just one person's opinion. You'll find just as many that will tell you to go with the Twists if you pursue it further than (this) ProVape area in ECF.

Well, pretty much everyone here would recommend a ProVari, as you posted their forum. There are a lot of other opinions out there, as noted above, but I'd bet a fair number would still support the ProVari. :)

The thing with EGOs is that they are good for starting out, but in my view are kind of wasteful in that the battery is nonreplaceable. This means once the battery won't hold a charge, you have to toss (recycle) the whole thing. With the ProVari, you simply get another battery and move on. Secondly, the build quality is miles apart - the ProVari is very well built and will take much much more abuse than an EGO will. Thirdly, the warranty (and even reasonable repair costs if no warranty). How easy is it to get your vendor to fix your broken EGO? Fourthly it simply vapes much better and more precisely.

I suppose that for the cost of the ProVari & accessories, you could purchase several EGOs, but the quality of the build and of the vape experience would be missing.

If I had it over to do again, I would have went from 'stick' batteries straight to the ProVari. The main reason I didn't was impatience (I was needing a better vaping experience, but was awaiting the Blue LED option that was coming out at the time). The only good thing I can say from experiencing the 'other' mods I bought was a better appreciation of the quality of the ProVari.

If you get a Provari, you'll never hear yourself say, gee wish I bought that twist. The money is the only decision.

That's it dude, i bought a Lava Tube and i like it pretty well but a month later i broke down dug into the ol'wallet and bought the Provari then when it got here i asked myself "Why the hell didn't i just go ahead and spend the extra money and buy the Provari to begin with?" Never regret it. I'm gonna by me another in black

Same route here. First VV was Lava, maybe two months later came ProVari #1. Another month brought ProVari #2 (after wife got a taste of #1), followed by ProVari #3, two months later (gotta have a backup).

I'm done now.
Really.
I mean that.
I'm not lying.
It's the truth...

BECAUSE WHAT WOULD I DO WITH A MINI ANYWAY??? :blush:


Enjoy it and love it DP! :laugh:


What can I say . . . I do have a couple of Twist batteries, that I use soley for work, as I
can slide them into my pocket and have a stealthy vape, without being too conspicuous.

Other than that, it's Provari's all the way for me . . . I love them! So much so I now have to
confess to owning 5 of them, all in different finishes & combinations.

That really is it for me now. :oops:

My answer is both.

I bought the Provari as my first e-cig and fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in my mailbox. A couple days later my girl and I went to a shop to get some juice and supplies and while there she bought an ego twist kit. I like them both but the twist does not compare to the Provari. I feel like the twist can sometimes taste a little better, but what do I know I am a complete noob and it may be because she was using clearomizers while I was using tanks.

I went from a kr 808 kit straight to the provari. Then I bought a Provape 1 for a stealthy option. I do construction remodeling, and beat the heck out of both of them. My missus has been through several JoyE products since then, and prefers the Provape (surprise). Bottom line, you can't go wrong with this excellent company. I'd reccomend Provape to anyone.

If you have to choose then I would say provari hands down. I have 2 provaris and they are my favorite thing to vape. Although I just bought and ego twist the other day so I wouldn't have to bring my provari to work and so I could have a cheap portable vv backup. I would recommend getting both if you have the funds. You can never have too many back ups.

I have 3 Twists and a MadVapes VV box mod. Instead of fraking around with LavaTubes/etc. I waited until my "break even" was close to the purchase price then jumped at a ProVari.

I'll still take my Twists to work & my box mod to the pool/beach/fishing. But I can't wait to get my ProVari tomorrow. I think my Phoenix RBA will be terrific on it.
