Well, I try to help where possible.
Provari Has earned a reputation as a tank. They are not perfect and on occasion some have to be returned for repair. Yes the warranty is nice, but after all it is factored in the price.
I don't fall to all the fantasy talk around here about devices.
That said, statements like Provari is over hyped or eVics are junk are pretty much the extremest speaking.
Yep some people have had issues with their new eVics. Some are legitimate problems, some are simply user error. Many are New user frustration from not reading reviews and not educating themselves before purchase.

I would use most of the main line electronic devices without worry. Provari, eVic, Vamo and a few others are built with intent to provide user functionality. Not simply slammed out with disregard.

Was I Wishy Washy enough?:D

Vamo, 2 eVics,YJ tube and more in my stable of 20 power supply devices - Elect. & Mechanical:)

Not quite -- there YOU go. He was specifically saying that the RMS-based units (with the aforementioned 37hz cycling) have a very visible voltage spike. The difference is night and day in the sine wave pattern from the output between (at least in the example) a Vamo and a Provari.

Read the evidence yourself before you declare yourself the victor. :)

that thread just proves the provari is a much more accurate and better system then the vamo

An evic and a provari is enough. Or 5 evics (you'd need 3 more). Two provaris is too much, and so is one provari and two evics, but only by one evic. It's up to you. Buy three more evics, or one provari and throw one of your evics away.

no need to throw the evic yet,,it will die a spectacular death soon enough

Ouch.. These has become too technical for me. Will be waiting for provari 3.0. Mean while i might spend for ggts or gus b4 that.

Heh I met some folks in Vegas to help walk me through it. Been vaping for over a year and didn't know what I was missing. So much trail and error (sobs). Was told I would have to get into something like the provari for hubby who was a 2 pack a day smoker. We just got a Vamo's and I am so impressed.

The flavor seems better for sure. But I never would have been able to start down this road with out help and a ton of reading. The juice is worth the squeeze.

I would save the money for a mechanical mod rather than a Provari, now that you have an eVic and know what the deal with VV/VW/ resistance reading etc. is about. I just bought 3 tube mods and a mech, and still not even touching the price of a Provari.

But then again im one of the 6 people on the planet not in love with Provaries.

Hey, welcome to the world of information :D i wouldnt say you have to get into anything. Especially not a "Provari because your husband is a heavy smoker". The Provari is just a battery, albeit a premium one. So it wouldnt make a difference whether someone smokes 3 packs a day or 1 pack a week, it doesnt affect his battery need. If it does, by a negligible margin at best.

What makes the difference is the juice and the delivery system - they determine how much nicotine you are getting. This is why i dont buy into the hype about Provari - i always find it funny when someone jumps on a $150 Provari and mount it with a $11 Vivi Nova. Upgrades should go from the top down.

Yes... yes, and again (say it with me)... YES! If you want unicorns tap-dancing upon your tongue, wispy fairies gliding about your lungs and nostrils, and shooting a rainbow out of your... like the Nyan Cat is appealing - the answer is YES! In the real world... I understand that a Provari is just a well-made, solid device that can handle more abuse than your typical PV. If quality, reliability, strength and warranty are paramount then you can't do better than a Provari, but for ordinary daily usage, I guess it's got a lot of competition... for the price. So I'm learning ;)
