IT's Time !!!

[tinstar15]

i hear ya but 3 ohm coils take a while to heat up, i prefer lower if possible, plus more vapor that way imo

I usually use 2 or 2.5 ohm DC or SC in my tanks. 3ohms don't taste right to me with the liquids I use. Even when I use lower res stuff, I hold the buttton for about 2 seconds before I hit it.

With my ZAP, my coils usually run around 1.7-1.9 ohms and I run them at 4.2-.4.5v. Anything over 4.5v tastes burnt no matter how well the wick is running.

For the uninitiated user (e.g. less experienced than many members here), an improvement to the display is big. Do I have to tap the home button five times to access email on my iPhone? Many might think that it's a small thing to do that to adjust the voltage on their PV, but why settle? Maybe a long button press to access the menu? Try a flush analog stick for more control? Bigger display? Add the time? Add a way to monitor vape time over a day? Adjustable LED color? Geez, set an alarm? Anything to maintain the image of a high-end option over the inevitable, cheap, variable voltage clones.

Alot of that sounds really overkill to me...

Long button press to access the menu? How long? What if I take 10 second drags (I do sometimes)?

The 5 clicks can be done in a shorter span than 10 seconds, that's for sure.

The rest of what you said, and no offense, sounds silly to me. Adjustable LED would just add to the size and/or weight.. Not worth it. The time? It's 2013, most of us already have immediate access to the time somehow. I can't say checking the time on my PV is needed... Just silly.

That would of course, add to the cost, weight and size, and... Yeah... Let's not even start on the inevitable price increase

Not trying to be rude, don't get me wrong but I can't see any of that being remotely feasible

I agree with Nathanial above. The Provape team's focus for the Provari was to make it simple, safe, reliable, and functional. Adding all of the bells and whistles to a Provari sounds more like a Chinese mod maker's desperate attempt to make their lesser product appear more attractive than the simpler, more reliable Provari.

A Provape team member said in an interview, "Do you remember when Lee Iacocca said: “If you can find a better car… buy it.”? Although its part of a sales pitch, I think a statement like that is made by a company that believes in what it’s doing. We really feel that way too. We firmly believe that there is no better vaping experience available in the world today."

I agree. If you can find a better APV than a Provari...buy it.

No offense taken at all, but I'm just typing out loud. I have a ProVari and love it, but every product can be improved upon. The long-button press isn't a great idea but we should expect continued evolution and excellence from Provape, just as they should expect it from themselves. You really think they just want all of their customers to say "Everything's perfect! Don't change a thing! *boner, boner*"?

There will inevitably be improvements beyond aesthetics with version 3, don't you agree? What would you want?

While I am perfectly happy with my mini, love the looks of it, and hope to save up for another just for a backup so I can sell everything else, my only major complaint is I wish the fire button were closer to the top.
I'm to the point now I wish they would add VW just to appease the detractors! If they want to bash on it because it doesn't have something so many seem to think the need, just give it to them already! Playing with RBA's I can see how it would be a decent addition, but still don't feel I need it, but so many others do. I'm also tired of hearing how much better this Chinese crap is solely because it doesn't offer VW. Can we please offer that just to make them happy and quiet until the next fad arrives?

I agree about the fire button. I tend to hold the Provari differently than I did with my other mods where the fire button was located higher. I'm strongly considering getting the Mini as a 1 year anniversary gift to myself in April, and I'm thinking the fire button will seem even lower on it than the regular Provari because of the Mini being shorter.

I'm finished with debating about the merits of variable wattage. I don't need it either, because I've settled on the same ohm resistance in my cartos and am perfectly content.

I would like a satin red be offered, though.

Yes, but I think Lee Iacocca would be driving a 400+hp Shelby GT right now over a 6 banger 1964 1/2 pony car. Get the idea? He would not remain stagnant, that's for damn sure...Ford would have gone under years ago if that were the case. Christ, even bar soap is reinvented and improved upon.

Agreed. Like 5 amp limit, and a OLED display, to name a few..

 

[Hello World]

I will stand by my assertion that a new screen and menu is needed, a Kanger T3 fit (outside eGo threads and wide enough juice well) as well of course, a VW function.

The eVic I purchased has all those, and aside from an Ego connection, the rest I don't care for. Several things I would like to see on any mod:

1. Battery charge indicator
2. 510/ego connection.
3. Instant Voltage overview and adjustment
4. Load impedance indicator
5. 3 clicks, not 5 for on/off switching or make that user adjustable
6. High up fire click-button, not spongy ones (eVics got the perfect one)
7. 20 watts would be nice, but not necessary
8. Also a charge cable into the PV, as it's much faster than moving batteries. Nice, but not essential.

What I don't need is any software aside from firmware updates (probably not needed anyways), VWs or fancy screens because once I set it, I rarely play with it any further.

1. Battery charge indicator------Not a big deal I can check it in the menu already...
2. 510/ego connection.-------You can buy one----ProVari Ego Adapter
3. Instant Voltage overview and adjustment----- once its set-its set.. 5 clicks to re-check isnt to hard..
4. Load impedance indicator-----Is this the atty resistance? I would like that so I dont have to allways check my attys..
5. 3 clicks, not 5 for on/off switching or make that user adjustable------mabey, I think they used 5 so it doesnt go into menu mode so easily?
6. High up fire click-button, not spongy ones (eVics got the perfect one) The Provari button feels solid IMO, plus its high quality/build for millions of clicks..
7. 20 watts would be nice, but not necessary-----thats alot of watts, I will take it...
8. Also a charge cable into the PV, as it's much faster than moving batteries. Nice, but not essential.-----Id rather use my Pila charger, plus it would put another plug access on your mod...

What I don't need is any software aside from firmware updates (probably not needed anyways), VWs or fancy screens because once I set it, I rarely play with it any further.

The people at Provape test and test their chip before they released it...its bullet proof.....

Some clarifications are in order. This goes for any Mod whatsoever.

1. I don't want to enter any menus, I want instant overview upon hitting the firing button.
2. I don't want any unsightly adapters, or any adapters, not necessary. A simple clean 510/ego interface connection.
3. I don't care what they use it for ... I deem 5 too much and would like to set the count myself.
4. Yes. Should come on as the atty is being attached, and viewable within a menu.
5. I don't care what way they do it, I want to set that myself.
6. Fire-buttons I can feel clicking ...
8. Re-chargers can by purchased anywhere.

Agreed. Like 5 amp limit, and a OLED display, to name a few..

I just noticed you are from Rosenburg. I live in Richmond on the Katy border. Nice to see another Provari user in our area. I never see anybody else with one except for the 1 person I recommended one for.

 

[jwhorner6]

I agree with most of the posts here, but I would also like to add...I have mods with VW, OLED displays, so called 5 amp limits. Yet, day after day, I choose my provari with its 1980s looking display and no VW and only a single button menu system. I do so because as cool as the other features are, the mods themselves still don't compare. If provape could incorporate all these things into a device, and keep it the same quality, I have to believe we would be paying upwards of $300 for a PV, not sure if I would swing that.

Maybe we can meet at a vape meet one day !! Familiar with "Elixir" ??

I would have to disagree with the sudden jump in price. The Batt tube, button, all first class. That's never been an issue.
Updated electronics with a new display screen should not jack the price another $120.

The amp limit of 3.5 was good a year ago when RBA's were unheard of. But nowaday's there everywhere....

I'm strongly considering getting the Mini as a 1 year anniversary gift to myself in April, and I'm thinking the fire button will seem even lower on it than the regular Provari because of the Mini being shorter.

Yes!!! Why is it that a red does not exist?????

You're probably right but I was just thinking that the OLED display would def raise the price. Adding more buttons would possibly raise the price. Maybe? It is safe to say my earlier estimate was a little over board lol. A higher amp limit would def be nice though.

That sounds great. PM me if one is scheduled, please?

Yeah, used Elixir in my early days. Been a while now.

 

[scoopbb]

it def needs a new updated chip.

6amp limit, 20w chip would be nice. i run 1.5ohm coil at 4.5v and could definitely run it much higher. i prefer around 4-5 amps on a genesis. i can take 1-2 second inhales instead of 6-7.

i dont need instantly indication on a menu. i check it once, set it and forget it. i dont mind the menu, i like the button.

they could release a red satin. that pic looks awesome. they could also release a high quality cone to make it streamlined with other 22mm mods.
