i know that people always argue about what is the best, and it's an endless battle.
however, what if size is a major factor for me??
some might say "vamo is better than provari mini." well....it's like twice the size though.
personaly i think that if something is twice the size, then it SHOULD perform better.

the fact that an APV is almost half the size of most of it's competion should say something.

anyways, my question is:
is anything better than the provari mini, that is either the same size or smaller??

I don't have a Provari Mini, but I have heard good things about it. Some seem to say it's the one they always end up going back to, despite having other APV's. I would like to get my hands on a pink or purple one, but the price seems so high. Maybe I'll win the lottery, someday! ;)

The Provari Mini is a Provari with a shorter tube that uses an 18350 or 18500 with an optional extension cap. It's preforms exactly the same as the Provari with the exception or shorter battery life, you're not going to get the run time from an 18350 that you will from a 18500 or 18650 but they are so small and easy to carry a spare or two if needed.

It is the shortest mini production tube I'm aware of which to me is the major point of a mini, the China mods in 18350 mode are all longer. It's hefty, solid and durable backed by the best or among the best customer service in the business. It's regulation is also the best or among the best, whether you're using a 18350 or 18650 it's consistent from the first vape to the the last as to what you have it set to.

Whether that justifies the price only you can decide. I will say from a personal stand point it's the only production mod I've purchased that if something happened to it and it couldn't be repaired I'd buy another one.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have nothing to add, but that a Vamo in 18350 mod is about the same size as a standard Provari. Provape did a great job of packing a lot of features and power into a pretty small package.

Im a relativly new vapor, but I jumped in with both feet, so to say. I just got a provari mini and a smoketech Zmax.They are both the same great size for carrying. However the Zmax is much ,much lighter.Im also very happy with the features (VW) and display of the Zmax.Not saying anything bad about the provari mini, Im very, very, happy I have it. I just think I will be using the zmax more because of the VW settings and less wieght of it.On a side note, my favorite juice seems to taste better on the zmax !

what do you mean by "the best"? the provari mini is good, but "best" depends on what you want it to do...

if you want something small, then something like a twist or ego vv may be the best. or possibly a small box mod or bottom-feeder, which can both be found in about the same size as a pack of cigarettes.

there are many mechanical mods available that are smaller and sturdier than a provari, but you're not going to get vv/vw out of them without something like a kick or a crown.

there are many mods that can be adjusted to a similar size as a provari mini (evic w/ additional tube, vamo), that have more functionality, but don't perform as well and/or aren't nearly as durable.

there's no doubt that everything in provape's lineup is very good, but (as everyone says), in the end, whatever keeps you off analogs is the best.

The zmax mini is about the same size and far superior to the provari. It has variable watts, ego and 510 connection, abillity to use flat-top or button-top giving you more battery options, a better menu (oled), and built like a tank. Oh ya and it costs much less so really there isn't a question here the Sigelei zmax mini is a better value for a better PV.

Best deal right now is Segelei Zmax Mini for 40-50$... and provari mini is a tiny bit smaller but yeah.. evic is smart and expensive 80$.. Vamo is cheap in price 30-40$ but oversized imo..

if you want SMALLEST..its the Segelei #20 with a kick.. (or the Curves or the Wizard's apprentice)

Im still waiting on a VV thats smaller then the Zmax/provari Minis, until then, im sticking with my 650mah Ego Twist..

The Vamo is not better than a provari mini. The only weakness of the provari mini is the vape time.

Quality for quality? I bought the svoemesto which is actually a step up IMO. In 18350 mode, it's within 1/4" of my Provari mini and it includes variable wattage in addition to variable voltage. Instead of having to buy separate units, my kit came with different battery tubes for when I want a little extra vaping time. Soon, there will be a pure mechanical switch so with one unit, I can have vv, vw, pure mechanical, 18350, 18500, and 18650 options. In the time it takes to swap batteries, I can change configurations.
