According to Provape, most of the internals are made here in the US except for some components on the board that can't be sourced here. The circuit board itself is made in the US.

Oh, okay. Makes sense. I was wondering why they wouldn't just make their own version if the board was readily available.

Isn't the Semovar kind of a Provari clone??

nope, Semovar is a high-end one-up on provari :D
also, different chip ... features VV and VW ... and better aesthetics

most important ... Germany does not have the need to clone stuff ... we make and invesnt quality stuff all by ourselves ... hrmph, there you have it :p

The answer is that it's not cost effective. Not many VV mods, if any, are cloned. China is looking to profit from mass production. There isn't a market for VV clones.

Aren't the Provari internals made in China and assembled in Murica?
Why am I not surprised you said that? Provari: Made in the USA

It's also more expensive.

(For those watching at home, Semovar only sounds like it is made in China. Sigelei=China, Semovar=Germany)

ETA: I just Googled "Murica" and am now deeply depressed.

The Russian designed and engineered Semovar uses an off-the-shelf Russian designed and engineered Nivel chip, do they not?
