Another dreaded 'Newbie' here trying to figure this whole E-Cig lingo out. I am still a smoker at about 15 per day for 35 plus years -(minus 6 yrs that I had quit one time) I came across the Provari posts and feel that maybe I should buy it as a start and in the hopes I don't get whipped into all this other 'trial and error 'stuff. <less inheritance for my kids however lol> Reading all your posts and headers at the bottom of many posts is really an incentive offering me hope. Thanks to you all

Well, since you feel THAT way about it....I think you should seriously get it!
But seriously, if you KNOW you're going to go the vaping route, it's worth it's money. Yes, there are other alternatives, but to each their own. You'll make up the inheritance money in skipping a few levels like: Twist, to Lavatube to Provari. It seems to me that when someone decides they want a Provari, they ultimately get one...so may as well get the darn thing!
I have two now BTW.

Yeah, I was on a 510 then I researched the KGO and picked that one up and after I had that for a few weeks I started looking at the SilverBullet and picked that one up! I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I am seriously looking more and more at the ProVari! HAHA!

The Silver Bullet is an excellent device! And did you know you can put a Kick in it to add VV? Only problem I have with that personally is, you can't change the volts on the fly...but some people don't change volts that often. Just food for thought on that one.

I had seen some vids of the kick on the SB but I haven't picked one up... I really like the advantage of being able to change on the fly!
Welcome Ktspirit4! Glad to have you here on ECF!!
In my honest opinion... You won't be disappointed if you purchase a ProVari... I own one and love it! I also own an Apollo Vtube and a couple of ego twists... and although none of my pv's are neglected, my ProVari gets the most attention!
The best one to get, is the one that will help you quite analogs for good! I hope you find that "ome" soon!
Good luck and Happy Vaping!!

@OP: To play Devil's Advocate……I'm sure the Provari is very nice, and a lot of people love it. But watch a video about how the menu system works before you buy it. After I saw pbusardo's video on it (which was a rave review, btw) I decided that I'd never buy one. I think that menu system is absolutely back 
-ward. And if I'd bought one without seeing it, I'd have returned it within a day.

You can't have just one mod! What if it got broke and you had to send it in for repairs? So now you NEED a Provari and a......
The ProVari's been out for a while now. The biggest reason to buy one back in the day was the fact that it was variable voltage. Now the eGo Twist is out. I don't understand why people would 4x the money on something they have to sort through a menu to do something that the Twist can with the turn of a dial.
ProVari will go to higher voltages and has a longer battery life, but personally I'd never need a voltage 6 volts and would just buy a backup for when my first twist died.
Only complaint with the Twist is that the dial doesn't lock in place - you have to check it pretty frequently.
But hey, if you want it, get it. That's just me.

As a person who owns both an eGo Twist, and a Provari, I can personally tell you that the two do not even remotely compare. For starters, there is a voltage drop over the charge life of the Twist, not the case with the Provari. Plus you have basically a full on multimeter for atomizers built right into the Provari.
I will be putting my Twist on the PIF pretty soon.
*Don't get me wrong. The Twist is a WONDERFUL device for a VV noob, who wants to see how it suits them without dropping alot of money up front. In fact, to the OP, I would suggest getting one for this reason. Try it for a month. If VV is your thing, go ahead and treat yourself to a Provari. There are plenty of people out there who prefer a good mechanical mod over VV, so you really want to see what suits you before dropping a ton of cash.
Also, for the person talking about the menu system, it isn't as odd as it seems. It takes most people, including myself, about 5 minutes before they can run through the entire menu system, including making adjustments, without even looking at the screen.

Becuse it's made out of solid stainless and it's made well, because the other devices do not hold the exact voltage durring the vape, becuse you can see what the exact ohms your carto/atty is and dial in the exact voltage for your needs, because your first vape is the exact vape that you will have all the way until the battery dies. the number 1 thing is that it's made in the U.S.A.
I'm not questioning that the menu system works or that you can get used to it.
It's 2012. My phone has the internet on it and games that rival the big consoles I grew up with and can record video and audio as well as any point & shoot camera on the planet. There's no reason for an interface to be that badly designed.

Do it Ktspirit4 . . . it's a purchase you won't regret.
I've GG's, Darwin, Kicked Silver Bullet, Twists and my Provari's remain the best devices
I have the pleasure of owning, in my humble opinion of course.
The draw, weight and functionality is outstanding for me. The menu system is a doddle
to use and for a non techy like me, being able to check ohms without faffing with a multi
meter, is a god send.
I love them, just wish I could afford one for every day of the week.

My one suggestion is that it's always best to get a drivers license before buying a Ferrari.
I'm not going to knock the Provari in any way. I have one, but I knew what I was doing when I got it. I would also point out that when it's all said and done the vapor tastes exactly the same as it does from my SS Vtube, which cost half as much, or my Mako, which only cost 1/3 the price of a Provari.
I say that only to point out that how you use what you have is more important than what you use. And the "how" has a learning curve. I can get a satisfying vape from about any PV you want to name, and it's no problem at all to get the worse vape you could ever imagine from the best PV ever made.
So I always suggest 'learn on a cheapo', that way if you mess it up it's no big deal. You will want to have a backup PV anyway.

Buy it!!!! Had my Provari for a year. It's a tank. Amazingly well made. Will probably buy another this coming year. Have a VV Lavatube and it doesn't compare, but for starting out in the VV world was priced very nice. You won't be disappointed. The Darwin is also very nice just didn't like the intergrated battery.
Most likely size and cost, both to produce and develop. These types of interfaces are simple for another good reason - they don't break as often. They are actually quite common on industrial applications where a slick UI doesn't add any value at all.
Actually I would recommend against getting something that you will "outgrow" soon. You want something that you will be completely satisfied with. Something that will last and be the most convenient especially since you are still on analoges. Get the provari. If its too pricy, the VMAX is a decent knock-off. Trust me, constant voltage from start to finish is an extremely nice thing to have irrespective of whether you're into high voltage or standard voltage.
