I don't use a ProVari,

@the Lion. I sent your shill exemption paperwork to the Nazi tribunal. They denied your request and would like you to report to the nearest Stalag at your earliest convenience for...discussions...regarding ideological differences.

No, no! Don't Godwin the thread!

Geez, what else could you expect from a shill.

Takes one to know one....

....shill!

I thought about that, but the Greeks and Filipinos are not shills. Anything that you have to get on a waiting list to purchase makes you elitist scum, not a shill.

Roaring with laughter.

So what would you be called if you were to buy a limited run waiting list provari, recommend it to everyone then sold it for twice the price on the classifieds??
I could think of a few word's, but there are censorship issues.....….

Uh, no. A mech will produce at most 4.1-4.2 volts, which will decline with the battery's state-of-charge. Hence a mech provides a considerably different vape on a freshly charged battery than on a battery that's in need of being re-charged. Moreover, a mech gives one zero ability to adjust voltage or power to suit whatever topper one might desire to use at the moment. A mech and a Provari are not at all comparable, and to say that a mech will "perform just as well" is bunk. Of course, there are loads (sub-ohm) that a mech can drive, which a Provari can't, but the opposite is also true -- try a 3.2 ohm carto on a mech and tell me how well it works on a mech, especially when that mech's battery is getting close to needing some charge.

An MVP is certainly more comparable. But to say that it performs "Just as well" is hyperbole. An MVP can only produce 3.3-5 volts, 3 amps, and 11 watts. A Provaru can produce 2.9-6V (a considerably wider range), 3.5 Amps, and around 15 watts. Yes, the MVP has other desirable features such as on-board charging, variable wattage, and a better user interface. I won't argue that the MVP is a tremendous value, but in the end, "performance" is about what comes out of the 510 connector and a Provari beats the MVP handily in that respect.

Note: I don't own a Provari and probably never will. I prefer DNA devices. But don't I suffer misinformation well.

Apples and oranges comparing a mech to any VV or regulated device. They both have pros and cons.

In terms of performance (which is what the original claim was about) I can only think of one pro for a mech, and that's the ability to supply crazy-high current to very low resistance loads.

because for the money you spent on a provari you could have bought a vamo and donated rest to homeless kids or cancer research! It's been proven, provari owners hate homeless children.

I have a vamo... and a provari. I always take the provari with me because I know it won't fail on me. The vamo by comparison is junk.... but by all means use that if that's your cup of tea.

Reading it back, it sounded funny in my head, not so much on screen. I'm going back to comparing watt settings and flavor percieved between my MVP and Lavatube now...The volt settings seem slightly different between the two, and I have a lot to learn about Vaping, and forum boards...

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.

... or better yet.... those who think blowing clouds is something special. I'm a provari owner and your protank really isn't special. Most people know how to rebuild them with cotton and those that do... usually progress to better tanks. I have many mechanicals but my Provari with a Kayfun is easily one of the better set ups.

We get what your saying but many people use "kicks" in their mech. It changes everything you said.

ProVarinati is a group of people.
ProVari is the device.

It was said going to order a ProVarinati......ahhhh....never mind.

I need to go fix dinner anyway.

To answer your original question, I think some of the posters here are shills. Actually, there's not a doubt in my mind.

That is most definitely not the case. Believe me, that's something we take very seriously here.

 

[Baditude]

That essentially makes a mechanical a regulated mod. What's the point other than it gives you the option to go both ways? If you use a Kick full-time, why not just get a regulated mod in the first place?

 

[Fergie]

Different strokes for different folks, hope that didn't come out the wrong way.

Crazy-high current? What's that defined as?
Very low resistance builds? What's the definition of that?

Mechanicals are not just for subohm builds. They have functioned flawlessly for me from 4.2 to 3.7 volts or so with my current batteries. The drop off in performance is negligible to non-existent from my experience. However, I usually charge before any such drop off anyway. If you want to compare the performance only at a lower voltage, then yes the VV and VW win.

Oh, and MM look better too.

I have recently purchased a reo grand. Right after I came across a provari on craigslist. I made a low offer and the seller accepted. I wanted to see what all the provari hype was about. The best thing I found about the provari is they have a good resale value. It will soon be for sale on ebay. Will use the profit to get another Reos .
