I won my provari during a November provari contest on ECF I believe 2 years ago now. It's been pumping strong ALL day EVERYDAY since it arrived. I use it around 3.7V-4V with Cisco SR 306 atomizers, and a cannon drip tip from cherry vape. This thing has hit the floor, hit the concrete, fell in a toilet (clean toilet not used haha) and fell into a full sink. Both times it got submerged I dried it as much as possible, then stuck it in a tupperware container with some white rice and a lid overnight. Next morning it's all better and hits like a champ. It's the most amazing PV I've ever used. So well built, so precise. The provari label is till on it, the button still fires beautifully, the threads on the battery cap are unchanged. Amazing.

You will be so happy when it arrives. I've attached a picture my very heavily used provari. You probably can't tell its been through so much.

Congrats on your purchase. I was excited too when I ordered mine. Only thing that sucked was that when it arrived, I had a cold and couldn't vape anything without feeling sick. I now own a couple of other mods now but always come back to my Provari. I know the "Craze" right now is sub-ohms and mech mods. Still, I do like to go back to SR ohms from time to time. I can't imagine ever getting rid of it and if I had to choose between having a mech mod or the Provari. I think I would pick the Provari. Even so you can't use it for devices under 0.8 ohms, you don't need to go that low to get a great vape.

I bought my ProVari about 6 months ago they told me I would be waiting about 2 weeks before it would ship, it arrived 3 days later. I was so happy lol, wasn't expecting it in my mailbox I almost squealed like a little girl. So far it has given me flawless vape without one problem the entire time. Totally worth the money. It's taken such a beating too. I've thought about getting another mod but I don't see the point. Hope you love your ProVari.

I, too, just ordered my provari. I've been vaping for a couple years, and finally decided enough was enough on these cheap pvs. For all the money I've spend on PVs and PTs I'm sure I could've owned more than one provari. Hoping it lives up to the hype. I got the 18650 batteries, and I'm a chain vaper. How long will I average per battery? Thanks!

For me, vaping 2-3 ml per day, at on average 4-4.2 volts, an 18650 lasts me about 18 hours. Or that's where the ProVari starts blinking it's pretty blue eye at me, so that's where I replace the battery, which is perfect, as 18 hours plus sleeping time, makes it a pretty constant 24 hours between batteries.
I have it turned on from I wake up, till I go to bed, don't know how much of a difference it would make, if I turned it off when I wasn't using it - can't really be bothered to find out :D

I am 42 years old, and have two young children. after smoking a minimum of one pack of "reds" a day from the time I was 18, one year and two months ago I decided to try e-cigs, wanting to be alive for my children and just feel better. I started with misty ciggy looking things, which worked to keep me off of analogs.
Then, for Father's day, last year, my wife bought me a vtube mini, which I picked out. What a difference, the taste, and vapor, yum. I slowly started to notice that I was changing batteries constantly, as the battery level went below 4.0, nothing. So, I just bought more batteries and changed them OFTEN. But nothing was quite like that fresh battery hit. So, like everyone else, I started looking for the next big thing, and always coming back to all of the Provari reviews.
My beautiful wife just kept saying "you've done so good quitting, reward yourself", but I hate spending money on myself. Anyway, every night, for about a month I would go to Provape.com and put a Provari in my cart, only to bail out. One night last week, following my nightly ritual of picking out my Satin Silver 2.5 with Blue LED and watching T.V. only to have my wife hit the Buy button.
Is anyone still reading this?

Long story short, my provari showed up today, while I was pacing, waiting for the mail to finally arrive. It, I can say, was worth all of the waiting, pacing and money, I've been vapeing for 2 hours, so far, and pretty heavy, I must say, and my last hit was just as good as my first one, I simply cannot believe it!
So, I am currently vapeing my Vivi Nova 2.8 ohm at 4.2 volts and loving every minute of it.

Thank you all for your help, I'm sure I will continue to bother you with my noobish questions.

I got imr 18500 LiMn batteries, I read the reviews on MadVapes that people were using them in Provari's, is there a big difference? I really don't have any idea?!

I got the AW IMR 18490 directly from Provape (2 of them came with the winning kit) and later bought the extended cap so I could rock the AW IMR 18650 BEAST 2000mAh. The AW branded ones are "high drain" and one thing to remember also is the milliamp hour rating. My 18490s are 1100mAh and last about a half day of chain vaping at 3.7-3.9V (they are two years old). My 18650 is 2000mAh and lasts a full day/day and a half chain vaping at 3.7V. So if you got the imr (non high drain) and they are say 600mAh they may go for a half day?
