Is a Provari good for a first mod?

I used my old one Lazypen, Get Down. the Voltage is set to maintain optimum temperature for vaporizing and concentrates!
With the battery meter, youre guaranteed to never see that surprise flashing light this material touching the heating element. Special glass filters are included to insure a true vape hit every time! :vapor:

Other MODs are getting warranties and quality construction. Even returning is getting easier. I do most of my vaping only up to 20-25 watts, but I do tinker and try other things that need more. The Provari does have step-down capability, but so do the MVP series, SVD and now the DNA40 and Yihi SX350 Chips. Probably others, too.

For the price, no way. I would get something in the 50w area. Grow into the hobby.

So your set up was better than the provari ?

Honestly, I would tell you to try an istick or an MVP first... both are about 1/8th the price of a provari.

Provari makes an amazing product, if money is no object... then sure, pull the trigger without delay.

I have one that sits in a drawer. It does not provide the wattage I need, or work with sub ohm tanks and RDAs. If I would have waited a few weeks I probably would have realized I didnt really have a need for one.

I've caught myself almost doing the same thing. I'm really wanting a sx mini, but im sitting here with a IPV mini in my hand right now. Realization recognized.

From what I've seen and heard, Provaris are great and reliable, but for whatever reason, I see a lot of them pop up for sale. Before you decide, I would recommend watching GrimmGreens review, he goes over all the positives and negatives, which all I ever hear from most are the pros, no cons. You may want to look into a box mod too, if you're not opposed to the idea, you can get a good box mod for a decent price. Whatever you decide, happy vaping!

I have looked in to a Cloupor T8.

Heres the deal with provari... they take a beating ....they take a beating well.
I own two, neither have been fired in over 6 months. Why? Because they Have such a low amp limit, and require a positive resistance to fire. If you want to vape within the limits that provape says you should they are fantastic!
If you ever want to vape sub ohm or above their amp limit its a really expensive paperweight Or small boat anchor.

Whenever you are going to spend that much money on a mod make sure you know what you want it to do, a DNA30 or dna40 is gives you more breathing room on your limitations. Coupled with the same dc-dc output signal so its an identical vape at identical settings. The primary difference in usability is going to be the dna style mods allow you to do a much more variety of things; whereas, if you run over the provari with a truck it'll still work. There are some tough as nails dna mods out there, i believe protovapor makes one od the toughest. I don't own one so cant say for sure. I have a few vaporsharks because i love the form factor dna30s and 40s).


Now I am rough on my mods... very rough, I've already had to send my provari in for repair. NIGHTMARE CUSTOMER SERVICE ...TOTAL NIGHTMARE. There is no telephone contact info, its all through trouble tickets...makes me wonder if there are that many problems that they need trouble tickets. My vaporsharks have had to go back ONCE as well, I called them... they answered-they sent me usps label and had my mod repaired and back in my hand within. 7 days. It took provape ten days to get the provari back in the mail and another 4 days shipping.
Both repairs covered under warranty only provape tried saying it wasnt whereas vaporshark fixed it no questions asked

I'm not saying my experiences are typical, I'm just saying what they have been.
The biggest thing to consider though is if you want to fire an aspire Atlantis or anything else below 1 ohm... the provari is going to be little more than a nice addition to your bookcase. To reiterate youe style of vaping will indicate what mod fits your needs. With so many options available its a much easier process now.

Best of luck dude.

Everybody enjoys a different style of vaping ... I am the exact opposite of the above post.

I have a 50w box mod that I never use ... it just sits in a drawer with a Magma. I bought an eVic before my first used Provari ... I now use 5 Provaris and that eVic daily with Kayfuns.

I vape DIY, therefore having lots of flavours is cheap and easy. ... for me, the Provari and Kayfun is the closest to smoking I found with vaping.
