The Twist is ok for the money.........The thing is you set a Provari at 4.8 volts and that's what it delivers under load...where as the Twist set at 4.8 volts delivers? What maybe 4.5 volts under load.... I have a friend who has gone thru so many Twist's over the last year and a half that she could of bought 2 Proavris... Always button issues, but hey what do you expect for $30?
I don't use a ProVari,

Sure you could buy a Provari for all the money you've spent on twists or VAMOS over the years....but I wouldn't want to take a Provari to all of the places I go with my twist and MVP.
Why would that be. Are you prone to severe drops or losing your mods???
You just had to bring up that Zombie edition. That is the one thing in the Provari world that really made me take a second look at them.

At no time did I say Provari wasn't a good device. I simply stated that it can fail. I not once compared the quality, lifespan, or track record to anything else, Chinese or otherwise. If ya'll like your Provari's... Good for you. I even stated I would most likely end up with one one day, just not right this minute. I have this same discussion over and over when talking about tattoo machine. Cheap Chinese knockoff's can not provide the same quality a custom hand built machine can. This is no different from that. I didn't advocate one way or another. I have to agree with TexasTanker19kilo20 on the Provari crowd.
Another one? Really. And the picture? Gonna take from the rich and give to the po'. Oh I see. You want a Provari. It all makes sense now. Tune it to the State of The Republic message brought to you by "Provari". Happy?
I'm so sick of Provari threads and I LIKE the company!

If I'm going hunting, or doing any kind of physical manual labor outside where it can get muddy, wet, or have things smash and bump into it I don't want to be concerned about the device the whole time I'm out there...I want to be enjoying the experience.
I run my twist at the 3.8 volt setting for the flavor, it's the slightly modified by me PT2 sitting on it that out Vapes any carto or stock PT2. The only device that out does my tank is my mech with a RDA. Not saying my .... don't stink, but when a Carto topped Provari owner takes a pull of my PT2, their mind is blown. Just sayin...
Yes, I know about the chip set and the power and stuff going for the P. I'm just stating the opinion of myself whom rebuilds things.
Lol they can be somewhat pushy.... My point is that you get what you pay for in a Provari
... I think its a great mod for the beginner looking to move up into a VV APV....Good resale value also incase its not your cup of tea
I believe you.....My mechanical ELA has a superior draw (denser vapor) than my Provari when topped with the same atomizer.....

Uh, no. I have two American-made DNA 20 mods, thanks!
But I won't bore y'all with the reasons why I think they're better.
Guess I should have posted the reason my PT2 is a great vape.
1. 30g wire
2. 5 wraps, 1.2 ohms
3. Organic Cotton Wick, no flavor wick
4. Air holes on the base drilled out to 1/16
That combo on a twist, mech, whatever, has blown away many minds to date LOL.
I know not everybody is into or even understands rebuilding, but it's too fun not to see Provari owners give the W..T..F face.
Or better yet, when a person who is all, My MECH is "Real" "no clones here" and then my cheap $30 Chi clones pumps out pillows compared to their "real" mod.
Just my opinions, sorry if anyone got butthurt.

I'm thinking to many have gotten something in their E-liquids that should not be there.
These almost daily back and forth threads are getting ridiculous.
You get what you want and Vape what you got. No one else business, period.

It's the Innokin Army, and we accept anyone (grin)
MVP owners can be a little excited about their "lil box" because it packs so much for so little.
Also at $45.00 it has a price point that is attractive for almost anyone. I personally couldn't see spending $160.00 for a "backup" nor could I see going out with $175 worth of e-cig in my pocket.
As an MVP owner, I realize that my MVP is not the holy grail of vaping, but I do believe that it is powerful enough and inexpensive enough to fullfill just about any role a vaper could imagine (with the exception of sub-ohm or real high power vaping).
All I need is for my MVP to last 1 year. After which, the cost of replacement for the MVP is approximately the same as an out of warranty repair charge for a ProVari. (when you add my cost to ship it back).
This does not even begin to touch the intangibles such as USB passthrough (without a separate module), built in charger, no need to carry spare batteries, and the ability to charge my cell phone on the go, all in an easy to carry form factor with a very easy to use user interface.
The difference between MVP users and "some" Provari owners is that MVP owners don't recommend their product to someone who asks for suggestions when the price range is outside that they are asking for. MVP owners usually don't start posts that accuse anyone who doesn't use an MVP is some how "cheap" or "unpatriotic". MVP owners also don't typically tell non-MVP owners that they're vaping habits don't warrant an MVP, as if I have to graduate some mythical vaping class to be worthy of purchasing a ProVari. Also MVP owners don't tend to wear rose colored glasses when confronted with the shortcomings of their device. MVP owners are quite vocal in their wish for continued improvement and make Innokin aware of these. Which is why Innokin addressed many of the user criticisms lobbied against the MVP 1 in the MVP 2. Make an improvement suggestion on a ProVari, and legions will come to ProVape's defense that the beloved ProVari is perfect the way it is, and it's not the device that has shortcomings, but the user making the suggestion.
Not all ProVari owners are like this. But there are enough of them that Phil Bussardo found it necessary to poke fun at them at the beginning of his ProVari review.
Sounds like a REO is perfect for that!
I had actually been looking at getting one! Funny you mention that.
For what you described - you won't regret it. Rugged, and you can wash the mud off in the sink, dry her off and keep going!
Seriously - I clean all of mine in the sink every few weeks - hot water, a little bit of dish detergent and some noalox on the firing pin and they're good to go!
I'm still trying to figure out why you seem to think RDAs and RBAs (or rebuilt PT2s) are mutually exclusive to the Provari...?
