As a new vaper just starting to vape the vapor, you may have asked the wrong vapage related question.
You may want to start with, "What is a good, reliable and fairly simple to use mod that I won't out grow in 3 months, that is flexible enough to use a wide variety of attachments, and that will fulfill the needs of a any typical vaping noob?"

I've been using an ego style battery successfully for a while now and Ive been considering investing in "better", but I must say I don't know exactly what the advantages would be apart from changing the voltage, which doesn't seem like that much of a benefit if you keep the power topped up anyway.
Can someone enlighten me as to why it warrants such a high price tag? £8 for a battery is what I pay now, but the provari is a much higher cost, and I understand you need to buy batteries in addition to it?
I've been vaping for 6 months now so I am not a noob, but one of the reasons I quit was to save money. What do you get extra that makes it so much better than a standard ego battery?

I am not going to address in this post why the Provari costs more than other variable voltage mods. The answer can be easily found by finding one of the scores of threads here on ECF on the value of the Provari if you sincerely wish to find the answer to your question.
As far as the across the board virtues of variable voltage over a fixed 3.7v device, it boils down to enhancement of the vaping experience. I went months vaping happily away on my Silver Bullet and had no interest in variable voltage. Then while visiting the Altsmoke store in Columbues, the owner asked if he could see my Silver Bullet a minute.
I handed it to him, topped with a cartotank full of my favorite Virgin Vapors Kona Velvet Milkshake. When he handed it back to me, he had added an extension sleeve and a Kick to my Bullet and had increases the voltage from 3.7 volts to probably around 4.7 volts. Maannnnnn! I was amazed at the difference. The juice was the same, but the higher temperature had also brought out some background flavors that I never knew existed in this flavor. It was a remarkably enhanced vaping experience. I had been missing out on something. I knew from that point on that I was going to be spoiled.
Since then, I got a Provari for variable voltage. With my fruit flavors, I can vape between 3.4 volts and 3.6 volts for best flavor production, any more and these fragile flavors will taste burnt. With my coffee flavors, I can heat the juice up between 4.0 and 4.8 volts for their best flavor. Then I have a red hot cinnamon flavor that I like to cook at 5.8 volts. It's all about a more favorable and flavorable experience.
Being a forum noob I haven't had a chance to read everything about the provari vs other VV, but that is a succinct explanation for why VV is better than standard. I'm not sold on the idea of spending that much on a provari yet, but I will certainly investigate other VV options for now. Thanks.
UPDATE;
Spent £20 on an 1100mAh Vision spinner, and use it generally at about 4V with normal resistance tanks. Found my "sweet spot"! Only use my old batteries when this one is charging, if I was going through 10 spinners a year then Provari might become worth it, but I've had this one for almost 2 months, and it shows no sign of fading. In addition, my original battery from August 2012 is still functioning well.
The Provari stuff seems a bit elitist tbh. Plenty of other stuff out there that works, and lasts if treated right.
