the vamo is quite nice though.
VW is not available with the provari. as glorified as it is, it lacks some new features

And, it's also debatable just how necessary variable wattage is to the average vapor. Unless the vapor uses delivery devices that are all over the place in ohm resistance, variable wattage is nearly useless. To some, myself included, it's a gimmick whose real usefulness is limited to a select few. Just my opinion.

All my devices use the same 2.5-3.0 ohm atomizer. I have no use for variable wattage.

is very useful when making coils for the genesis or vivis like myself. but i do understand your point and is true

I used variable wattage on my vamos for less than a week and now are all in VV mode. Variable wattage adjust the voltage according to the ohms (resistance) of w.e delivery system you have on it. There is no real universal " sweet spot" for wattage that all your juices and delivery systems will taste the best at. I use rebuildables and still don't find use for variable wattage except that you can't set a 1.7 ohm at 4.7v instead of 3.7v by accident but trust me you know very fast lol. (I did that on a provari while distracted in conversation after replacing a coil on a rba)

By delivery devices he would(i assume) be implying rebuildables... which btw i cant get enough of! i really enjoy playing with different wick and coil setups and different configurations. its kinda like playing with legos. you can build, unbuild, rearrange.. many different possibilities and there are soo many different cool rebuildable atomizers out there.. but Baditude is right. vw's usefullness is REALLY limited to a select few. I myself am a rebuildable atomizer guy and still havnt found a need for variable wattage.

Actually, I was not even considering rebuildables. I was implying people who use different ohms of drip atty's, carto's, clearo's, whatever. Once you are an experienced vapor, you soon learn what ohm works best for your devices and desired watts range.

Going by the general guidelines provided by the Safe Vaping Power Chart, a certain ohm atomizer will provide the widest range of watts/voltage. You then begin stocking up on that ohm for all of your juice delivery devices.

I use variable voltage to adjust to my different flavors of juice. Low voltage for fruit flavors, medium voltage for my coffee flavors, and higher voltage for cinnamon. Variable wattage would not benefit me with that.

It's probably why Provape has not offered variable wattage with a Provari or other mod. They likely see it as having very limited usefulness for the majority of vapors. Variable wattage just happens to be the "hot feature" at the moment. We'll see how important it plays out a few months from now. It may at some point be only as important as a built-in atomizer meter is now. Not a make or break deal maker.

Then again, I could be way off the mark on this one.


As a side note, just go over and browse the Provari sub-forum http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/ and see how happy Provari owners are, and then look in the other sub-forums and see all the complaints of the owners of the other mods, in particular those made in China. Further proof that you get what you pay for.

I recently watched a Todd video where he twisted his nichrome resistance wire and then used it on a wick for a rebuildable. by doing so he decreased his ohms by half.. i think i took it he made it so that it'd get hotter at a lower voltage but my whole understanding of the ohms-volts-watts thing is sub elementary at best. =\

I use variable voltage to adjust to my different flavors of juice. Low voltage for fruit flavors, medium voltage for my coffee flavors, and higher voltage for cinnamon. Variable wattage would not benefit me with that.
I love cinnamon and its all I vape. which is you're favorite? i have Tasty Vapor's Atomic Cinnacide, Vaporbombs Cinnabomb, and a cinnabomb i get from a local vape shop(ironically called "local vape" lol). By far, I gotta say that the Cinnabomb i get from Local Vape is my favorite. The bottler is called E-Lixer. ever heard of them?

vw's usefullness is REALLY limited to a select few.
I also don't use the WV feature, but it does make sense for certain applications. For instance ... let's say someone has 3 different Vivi Novas with 1.8Ω, 2.4Ω and 2.8Ω atties. If I wanted to do a taste comparison/variation, time may be of essence as the taste lingers for only so long. Setting to WV and changing the VN clearos very quickly and keeping the power level the same throughout will effect that very efficiently.

I'm gonna be rebuilding Kanger 3 style knock-off clearos soon and the resistance will be somewhat different for each one, and WV might well save some time because I won't have to make new adjustments for every one as I swap them around.

Works pretty much the same way for comparing tastes on some genny RBAs too.

So I see that more as an occasional tool rather than something I require continually, but each vaper has his own groove ... the 7/64th spanner for me.

Now if they (anyone) could only come up with a snap-on & lock system to replace/add-to 510/ego connections.

My 2 cents:

I use the Ego for 2-3years now. Starting with the regular 650 battery and 510 (I think) atty. Then I upgraded to a 1000 bat with a MegaXL type B atty which was the bomb for me at the moment. Then I tried egoT (tank type A) that really was terrible, no vapor. So I went back to the Mega type B. The Mega (for me at least) produces a good vapor/throat kick.

Again, the EGO tank was really a disappointment. (for me)
