My Provari does not. Don't know what version it is. Got it in January I believe. At least I am assuming it does not because the screw on volt meter reads fine unlike any PWM. FWIW I am enjoying the Gripper more than the Provari now. Also prefer the Rocket over the Provari too. Gota be the PWM they both use.
I have the version 1. Purchased July 2011. You can however send the V1 back to them and they will upgrade to V2 for a small fee. I remember reading sometime back that the cost is around the $25 area.
I am in agreement with Wally, I am truly enjoying the Gripper better than the Provari, and attributing that to the PWM. Simply outstanding vape, and you can't beat the price. Very satisfying.

looks too tempting to hold out on.. I want one but I need to have money aside to buy all the ravens up when they drop lol from what I hear this pwm won't blow your coils like the others.. switches to steady voltage when it is too high for the coil
You are correct. When the Ravens drop, just drop a Gripper in your cart with the little birdies, lol !!!
That is not an IMR battery so it won't be able to provide the amperage needed for this.
I had the exact same debate with myself, but since I had a GC, I figured this might be my only chance to get the gripper. It's still in the mail, but with all the wonderful stuff I'm hearing, I'm sooooooooo glad I pulled the switch and got it. Can't wait to get it. Need to go check tracking again! Hoping for Tuesday.
Most of the PWM units that don't show an error and won't fire do this. It's not about the coil per se, when it hits it's max current output, it drops the master voltage level, which is 6 volts normally, so that the current limit isn't broken. I've measured my YJ Lavatube and it does the same. If it didn't it would be sending pulses above the 3 amp current limit.
FWIW got some info on the ProVari.
It does start out PWM but it converts that to a stable constant voltage.
If you can dial down to 2.9V then you have a version 2. I think Version 1 stops at 3.3V
Pbusardo put out a relatively positive review. I disagreed with his wish that it was a kit. I have enough cheap chargers to not want another. But, what I did agree with was the effect of the pwm. I dont think it can be said enough that you shouldn't just set it to the voltage you normally use. They just dont feel the same, nor are they likely to have the same effects on juices and cartos.
Totally agree Erin! I did just go watch his video. I was getting ready to post that it seems that I am getting amazing battery life on this compared to the LT type device I have using the same battery. I should have had to charged this thing about 24 hrs ago. Right now I'm at 3.6v left on batt power so I need to soon. I think he said it'll flash lo-v at 3.4
I do have to keep turning it down, so a bit of a learning curve. The 1.8 head on my vivi is best right about 3.0 lowest it will go. My 2.8 head (which I did not like at all on the LT type) is great right about 3.7 I have to find my 2.4 head. lol I am just really loving this lil guy. Dynamite comes in small packages!!

, my 2.8 vivi head, which reads 2.7 I am comfortable at 3.0.
Mine is reading 2.7 too on the 2.8 head. After using it a day and a half, I'm finding that my best starting point is 1 volt higher than whatever the ohm reads. I'm sure it varies with different juices, but that's about where I'm finding my sweet spot. At least with the vivi since that's all I've tried on it so far. lol
Loving this little guy. Still working out what I like to use with it the best. So far it's the vivi, mini and reg. 
Wow! Not many of these left! But I can't believe there's still any 'cause they're sooooo great!
Thats a hell of a drop on voltage on the higher end of the spectrum just under 17% loss
