EDIT: To anyone who thinks a Provari is a status symbol, after all the bills are said and done and paid, I live roughly off 150 dollars a week.
I have no problem with people buying whatever they want but it is annoying to hear someone boast about their expensive vaping mods in one thread and then cry about their money troubles in another....Don't let the quest for a status symbol put you in the poor house. As far as Provari being the best? Once upon a time but with devices out there like the Zna 30 and the HanaModz outperforming the mighty provari handily it's hard to believe that even the most ardent provari owner buys into that hyperbole these days. If Provape doesn't come out swinging with an awesome version 3 it will go the way of the Mighty Blackberry and only a few stubborn holdouts will still call them king. :2c:

If you could get me a ZNA or Hana for $150-$200 and not have to be in the "long wait", I'll buy into that hyperbole.
I have played that game before.........Those two Mod's are in a whole different league. :thumb:

And how do those DNAs perform at 7-8 watts & under?

Your free to disagree with me and say the usual,"Provari doesn't need an update" or "Variable wattage is for those who can't do the math" or "The button is ugly because it's military grade" or... Well you know the excuses round here...Provari better get on the ball and F.A.S.T. and do more for an update than throw out some "Zombie" color scheme... Try reading this article from almost a YEAR ago about provari's "Slippage" ProVari: Is it Over the Hill?Steve K's Vaping World Pretty soon all the usual suspects will find the room and start all the bullying so I'm out....Peace

Being happily used by many of it's owners!

Evolv has evolved -- need I say Kick Module, DNA12, 20, 30? And, the technology is available in boxes and tubes and whatever configuration one wants to make, even DIY, making it vary accessible. Did you perhaps not know that Evolv is the maker of the Darwin???

Please -- no more battles between the best innovators -- Provape and Evolv. We had enough of that in the olden days. My Provari's and Evolv & Evolv Inside Devices get along quite fine in my vaping arsenal.

(P.S. Darwin's sell for a premium. It's value is increasing, not declining. )

Of course the Provari has been cloned, but not even close to being counterfeited. As other's have said, it started with the Lava Tube -- touted to be a Provari with a much cheaper price. Every vari tube mod since then has been a type of Provari clone with an extra bell or whistle to make it seem like more. Some are quite fine, but none are close to a provape device. :2c::2c::2c::2c::2c:

I like my Sigelei Zmax Telescopic V3. This doesn't look anything like a Provari. In fact, Sigelei sells a lot more APVs that look like a Sigelei than the ones that look like Provaris. That's because Provaris look gaudy and over-styling is just plain ugly.

I like the V3 better than the Provari. It costs 25% of what a Provari costs and does more.

What Sigelei Zmax V3 does that Provari won't:

-VV/VW
-accepts 18350, 18490, 18500, 18650 and 2x18350 batteries right out of the box
-uses button top or the less expensive flat top batteries
-heavy stainless steel build
-removable top cap for easy cleaning
-510/eGo connection. The threads are one-piece stainless steel and the best on the market
-flat top cap available so wider atomizers don't look dorky on it, unlike the Provari
-one of the smalest VV/VW tube mods available

I even love the rattlesnake sound that comes from LR cartos. Lets me know the goodness is coming on the highway.

I should add...

-The displays on the Sigeleis are on the same side of the tubes as the fire buttons. That's where they belong, not bass ackwards.
