evic is enough or i need a provari?

[kzariman]

Sorry guys. Maybe its a silly question but i really need opinion on this. For the time being ive own 2 evic with several type of tanks. Bought the 2nd evic with the tought that i never need provari. But seems like i would like to add one for my collection. Is it worth it?

Hello, If what you have works for you, you don't need to get anything else, if you want to and can afford it, it never hurts to have backup devices around, just in case. As far as the Provari being worth it, I don't know because I don't own one, but from what I gather it's a pretty good device, don't hear to many complaints. Btw, welcome aboard.

 

[kzariman]

Geez.. Its hard to decide. Yup i do agree provari is very well built and the warranty is a plus point for it. Thanks for replying.

 

[vsummer1]

I do have a Provari, and it is a great "peace of mind" PV. No matter what happens to it, Provape can fix it for you even after the one year warranty has ended. And it does what it is supposed to do, each and every time you vape it. The evic, I don't know what type of warranty or support it has?

That said, I do use other devices more often then my Provari for various reasons. I wouldn't consider selling it though, that "peace of mind" thing is worth it to me

It depends on what style and how deep you want to get into vaping. Like if you are planning on entering the world of rebuildables. In that case, a fully mechanical mod would be the way to go such as a GUS or GGTS. However if you are just going to use the standard 510 cartos and attys then an evic or a similar device is more than sufficient.

You have two great APVs, I say stick to them... If you want a Provari get one, but not needed...
I'm waiting for Provari 3.0, it sound be a long while, but I'm trying not to rush it, since they are a good hunk of $$$

For me the eVic is too much messing around, the Provari I won't touch till they start getting with the flow and make it a Variable Voltage and Variable Wattage with an RMS MODE, like so many of these new Chinese devices are now, my next order will be one of these:

the Provari I won't touch till they start getting with the flow and add Variable Voltage to it

Provari IS Variable Voltage

My eVic is dead. My Provari isn't. Totally your call, though.

Sorry mate, I made a mistake when typing, I was doing a few things as I relied to the Thread, changed it now:

That's kind of funny, considering that one of the things that makes a Provari a really good PV is that it doesn't use timeslicing hacks like RMS mode.

I own both a Provari mini and an Evic.
I am a regular needs vaper (7.0 to 8.0W max) and both mods are working fine for me and the various (6 in total) rebuildable attys that i own.
I use the Evic with an after market body in 18350 mode. It looks fine and has this "gadget" feeling that I like very much.
On the other hand the Provari is the top of the ladder choice. The difference in build quality, finishing etc is evident.
Vaping wise their performance is similar unless someone wants to go to exteme settings (like over 10W) where the Provari clearly prevails.
One other advantage of the Provari is that it handles 18350 batteries more efficiently than the Evic does.

 

[denali_41]

you should read about all the evic threads here,,that thing has more problems then obamanation has .

provari is rock solid,works like it should and has an excellent track record for lasting,

about the thing out there that is more reliable would have to be a mec mod

 

[Baditude]

Save up for the Provari until the Evics die on you.

 

[sawlight]

I really liked the idea of the Evic when it was first announced. After watching all the problems with the first software, I'm very glad I didn't jump on board! Then there are a few that have died from fairly short drops, and another that burnt the screen? I'm leary of it to say the least!
As far as RMS, there was a thread on here tonight showing the advantages of it's regulation circuitry. It cycles at 800 times a second, verses the others at 37 cycles a second, doesn't sound like a bid deal until you see the 6v spikes on a scope to achieve 3.5v.

 

[Dana A]

You just can't go wrong with a Provari. The biggest problems I ever had with mine were picking between the standard size and the mini and deciding who to leave it to in my will because it will likely outlive me. If you are a person who wants a new mod every month you may get bored with it because it just works and works and works and that gets boring but if you want it to last forever and not have to buy anything new then the Provari is your man. Good luck and happy vaping

there you go

 

[corruption42]

there you go

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.

I only vape on W (wats) with ny Vamo so non of that matters.
I didn't really and don't really know what the quotes were on about anyway.

I have a Vamo, which gives out he same hit each and every time using it at 9 W until the bat dies.
I paid $28 shipped to my door for it 3 months back.
It still works the same as it did the day it arrived
I dropped it once on a concrete floor, did zero damage
Don't see the point in paying silly money for a Provari when it doesn't even have Variable Wattage.

...So you don't understand it, you don't know what the quotes are referring to, and yet you claim it as a victory? Seems a little backwards.

Thats great that the VW works for you -- the Vamo is a pretty solid piece of hardware for the money. However, in case you didn't know, wattage is just a function of voltage and resistance... its simple mathematics. Figuring out a sweet spot is no harder with a Provari, granted you understand basic math concepts. Some of us also don't like a consistent temperature for all of our juices. However, moreso than anything -- you do yourself and anyone else who reads you an injustice by passing along information that is uninformed, and by your own admission ignorant to the truth.

If you can't see that the RMS output of the Vamo is an inconsistency of it, when simple to understand evidence is in front of you, then there may be a bigger problem.
