Why not compare the two and decide for yourself? Of course, that's after your friend actually ponies up and buys the Provari.
I have both as well. I alternate and cannot notice a difference in vaping quality. As far as the life, ProVari will last longer and can be repaired at reasonable cost while (from what I've heard) MVP2 will just have to be replaced. Both are great IMO, just depends on how much cash you are willing to dump.
I have the Provari, but keep hearing wonderful stuff about the MVP2... They can't be bad with that many great reviews. I may have to get one myself soon!
This, times 1K. I remember looking through a vaping forum a year or so ago and the attitude was so elitist and, quite frankly, douchey that it delayed my switch. Every third post was about some 'n00b' with his 'cigalike,' condescension dripping off the screen. I'm glad I found this forum and gave it a shot. Use the equipment you can afford and that you enjoy. Upgrade if something isn't working for you, or you try something out and it enhances the experience. Otherwise, don't try to keep up with the Joneses!
Is a Lincoln MKS better than a Ford Taurus? I think that all depends on your perspective. I'm another vaper that owns both (Provari/MVP, not lincoln/ford, lol) and I find that both provide a satisfying vape.
There is no "king" of the vaping world, everyone has different likes and dislikes when it comes to devices.
I don't own a Provari, but I do have an MVP. I did use a Provari for a week this month, my buddy got a new Provari and I asked if I could try his old one. I really didn't see much of a difference when it comes to actually vaping, other than the MVP will do both VV and VW, which is really a non-issue. Both devices will perform the same functions. The only thing in my opinion that would give the Provari an edge over the MVP is that you can use whatever battery you want. This is a great feature, but not the end all be all of devices.
For my personal preference I'll take my MVP, I like the way it looks and it performs well, and leave the Provari for others, I do not like the way it looks, even if it does perform just as well as my MVP. In my opinion the Provari looks dated and the design probably would have turned me off even in 2010 also, if I'd have known about vaping back then.

I've been vaping for two-and-a-half months. I'm still rocking a Halo Triton, and have been doing a lot of research into which APV I want to buy. I've tentatively decided against a ProVari for three reasons...
(1) It doesn't have variable wattage, which is something I'm looking forward to tinkering with. When I do get a VV/VW device, who knows? I might end up deciding to only use VV and not ever end up using VW at all, which would effectively "un-eliminate" the ProVari from my list for the lack of variable wattage.
(2) The price - from what I've heard or read in reviews and vaping forums, anyway - is 2 to 3 times the price of a Sigelei Zmax V5 and 3 to 4 times the price of a Vamo V5. I'm sure from all I've read that ProVari APVs are outstanding products, but can they quantifiably be considered to be 2 to 3 times as good as a Zmax or 3 to 4 times as good as a Vamo? In my opinion, the latter two would have to have at least a couple of significant shortcomings to consider that to be true. And from what I've learned about them, I'm doubting that's the case. I've only seen a few very minor issues with the latest versions of the Zmax and Vamo APVs, and it appears that each issue has only been reported by a handful of users of said products. Also consider that even the ProVari APVs have demonstrated a few very minor issues, themselves.
Even if the ProVaris sported way better design and way better build quality than any of the other, feature-comparable APVs, in my opinion, other such APVs would have to be so fragile as to shatter when dropped 12 inches onto a kitchen countertop for me to consider paying 3-4 times as much money for the "Next Step Up APV".
(3) Where the heck could I buy a ProVari if I wanted one? I Google "ProVari", and even "Buy ProVari" and the entire first page of search results direct me to the ProVape website, several reviews and several forum threads. If the ProVape website has an online store, I haven't been able to find it. I go to "Ordering Info" on their site and read the first paragraph: "If you would like to place an order, it is highly recommended that you use our secure online shopping cart and payment system. You can conveniently order online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week knowing that the information you enter is safe and protected." OK, so ... where? I've found no link to "The ProVape Online Store" anywhere on their site.
They list a mailing address... Do I pull out my stationary and write a letter asking to buy a ProVari and mail it to them? Just below that, it tells how to submit a customer service ticket... "Hi. I'm having a problem with my ProVari. I haven't been able to buy it yet. Because I can't find out how to buy one."
I'm disabled, and am therefore limited to online-only purchasing. If ProVari APVs can only be purchased in vape shops, then that's a disqualifier for me that makes all the others moot. But anyway, this is an issue that will likely be addressed shortly, as (1) someone here will fill me in on how to buy one, or (2) I'll find a shop online momentarily that will render "issue #3" moot. Then again, "issue #3" is already rendered moot by the first two issues, so it really doesn't matter so much.
So, the bottom line - I'm sure ProVaris are gorgeous, highly functional APVs. I read glowing reviews by many ProVari owners here and elsewhere. I'd love to hold one in my hand one day, just to feel it. But the lack of variable wattage and an ivory tower price are why I'll most likely not be buying a ProVari for myself.
EDIT: Ah ha! Just as I thought. I found an online site selling ProVaris after all. VaporLabs. And if there's one, there are almost certainly others. So scratch #3 above.
EDIT 2: Wow, this post reads a lot more harshly than I intended. Everyplace I use words such as "disqualify" or "issue", I am mainly referring to my own opinions or my own limitations. I'm not bashing ProVaris nearly as much as it seems.
Eh, my pain's a 7 today. Sounding "harsher than intended" in anything I say or write is a side effect of that.

ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!
You have to scroll down quite a ways, but they are on this page available to purchase from ProVape. Just a heads up.
^^^ beat me to it.
There isn't necessarly an "online store" all in one place. Under each product page, at the bottom are the add to cart options for the various colors. In this instance for the Mini.

What the "king" is is subjective to the user.
I'd take another VTR over a ProVari because it is more powerful, and built like a tank. Mine has survived a 6+ foot fall onto a concrete floor, only breaking the drip tip out of my ProTank that was attached.
People discount the VTR because it has a much lower PWM output frequency, but I think any perceived difference there is placebo IMO. I'd like to get a ProVari to see what all the hype is about, but just can't justify the price/performance ratio.

I've never seen this VTR until now
Looks amazing. What's the difference between this an an MVP2?- Status
