Reliability. Solid Construction. Flawless performance. --- a few of the prothingy pluses.
The Evic is nice, not as powerful, more things to fiddle/play with, lighter in weight & the look can be custom changed easily with different tube sizes and colors or top collars. I actually use the "go to sleep" setting and like it for out and about.
I like and use them both. If I had to choose one, it would be the Provari.
You could get verified and get them both in the classies.

Like I said, 800 kHz, not 80. And if we're bringing PBusardo reviews into it, he uses a Provari.

I only have the provari but like what retired soldier said that it is built like a tank. I love my provari. I work in construction and have dropped it off of ladders, roofs etc. it is nearly indestructible I even had a guy tell me his was ran over by a car. A little scratched up but still fired. Nothin a wrap couldn't make look new again. They are definitely worth the money

No, you said 800,000 Hz (800 kilohertz). The scope user shows it is 1/1000 of what you said, 800 Hz or "800 times a second." 800 Hz is an audio tone, which explains why some Provari owners can hear it. 800 kHz is a radio frequency in the AM broadcast band. I'd thought the Provari was 100x 800Hz, at least close to the eVic. This shows it isn't.

I put an application in to get verified, my wishlist is growing so fast, I will need a classies option!
What can I say. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. So, the eVic fires a bit over 1000 times a second, the Provari at 800 times a second, and the average Chinese mod at 33.3 times a second?
pbusardo showed the eVic voltage converter frequency at 104,900 Hz (cycles per second) or 104.9 kHz, a bit over 5x the recognized 20,000 (20 kHz) upper limit of human hearing, and a bit over the typcial sampling rate of high-quality audio recording devices. The oscope post claims that of the Provari is 800 Hz or 0.8 kHz, around the tone you typically hear morse code at in movies. The chipset in less expensive devices runs at 33.x Hz, almost bottom of the subwoofer audio frequency, and often described as the frequency of a rattlesnake. Do these make a difference in the thermal performance of a kanthal or nichrome coil you can taste? IMO, only in your dreams.
i definetly taste the difference between a vamo and a provari/evic
@OP: Like everyone else said, the Provari literally just feels much better in your hand than the eVic. IMO, the only thing the eVic does better than a provari is being less expensive. However, since the Provaris are on sale right now, I would definitely recommend you getting an Provari. Since functionally, they more or less do the same thing, the provari just does it a little better where it counts.

Amen billbeckusa, great honest review! I have never tried a Provari nor do I know anyone that has one. My cousin and I have the evic, he LOVES it. I too loved it until I discovered the world of mechanical mods - unbelievable build quality and vapes like a beast. However, if you can get an evic for a good price, I definitely think it is worth having in your arsenal.
- Not unless you prefer variable wattage. If I had to choose (and I have no desire to buy either right now because I have a lot of toys), I'd choose the evic because of this. I like all the features. Actually, I take that back- I am waiting for the MVP 2 and 134.

Perhaps what you're tasting has nothing to do with converter frequency. Unless your taste is nonlinear with frequency, I'd expect you'd find the 131x difference between the eVic and the Provari to be a greater difference in taste than the 24x difference between the Provari and the Vamo.
(all these assuming the numbers we've seen posted are correct)
There is one thing I feel I should mention, is the easy head does not turn itself off all the time, like the other one does. It will stay on until I turn it off, and it doesn't need a flat top cap, it is built into it, and it is about a 1/2" shorter than the original, get one of those shorter tubes, and it would really be cool.

I taste the difference between the vamo and provari much more profoundly. I can taste a hint of burning juice in the vamo. If the evic actually fired 4.2 volts when you set it to 4.2 I would probably notice that difference as well. The reason I notice, at least I believe the reason is because of how wide the vamo pulses are, not how spaced apart they are

I really prefer the e-vic. Although it would never be something to carry everywhere with you, it makes for a great desk vape.
Now you tell me. Been carrying mine everywhere since I got it. 7 months now.
I have noticed it gets nervous when I get near the pool.
one thing i have to say is an evic advantage, is its pass-thru. there's nothing more convenient than plugging in, powering up, and vaping all at the same time. the provari can never do that unless you get the pass-thru kit.
i usually carry extra batteries so batt life is a non issue. BUT that creates a weight/storage issue if you mind carrying extra things while you're out and about. there are adv/disadv so you'll have to weigh out what's more important to you. i like the provari so much im willing to lug around extra batteries. a single 18650 is more than enough for a day's work.

True.
I have a 18350 batt only as a backup but the 18650 it's inside the evic many weeks now. I charge and vape at the office, at the car, at the pc at home. Everywhere where is a mobile phone charger. Usb passthrough must be a standard for all serious mods.
