Joker AV or Provari

[crackbag]

looking to buy a joker Adjustable Voltage black or pewter or a Provari


in your guys opinion which should i get?

The Provari is nice but kinda pricey and long wait time, joker is nice but you have to carry around the screw driver uhg so torn between the 2 please give me some in site?

I have both. I prefer the provari hands down. Its has tons of features beyond the adjustable voltage. Checking atomizers ohms is super useful.

The joker is super light. I do like that about it. it does feel kinda dinky when held next to the provari

So the button on the provari is nice not flimsy like it looks to be?

nothing on the provari is flimsy. Stainless steel housing, to the recessed atomizer connector, to the window that covers the display. The display is actually about 1/8 inch bellow the window.

I received my Provari today, #3891 ordered 2/1, and it is worth the wait and every penny, you won't regret it! It is light years above anything I have seen or tried in mods. silver bullet, GG, boxes etc. Maybe the Ali'i may equal it but I havent' tried that yet, and I hear the eclipse is supposed to be awesome, but not out yet.

sweet man glad to hear i made the right choice im so looking forward to it! and mine is going to be black! i was going to get a SB but after looking into it all the SB is still going to be the same this as my BB spent with bigger batteries and after reading everything and the comment above my choice was made!@

so the button is nice on it? you like the way it pushes down?

Chiming in a little late here, but I also own a Joker AV and have put in my order for the Provari. The Joker is pretty nice and I really like mine, but not only do you have to use the screw driver, but you have to take off all your attachments, attatch the meter (which is $17 extra) and start turning the little screwlike adjuster. It is not very sensitive so if you are wanting to go from 3.7 to 5 ... it will take you several turns and a good bit of time. It is so much a hassle that I don't change my voltage very often just because it is too much trouble. The price for the Joker with voltage device and shipping is about $155. Honestly the Provari's features and ease are worth the little extra money. Not that you could change your mind at this point, but thought it may just reinforce the decision you made!

The Darwin from nhaler has the best warranty and features. The ProVari is also very nice.

thank you for that! i did order the provari about 10 days ago i ordered the black one 1st then changed it to the chrome. but your rite doing all that for the joker would get old, prolly was fun at 1st but got old quick =(

I'm a little late to the party. I think you will be very pleased with your ProVari. I got mine about 2 weeks ago now? It is simply amazing. Its a joy to use and the push button interface becomes second nature in no time. This thing is built like a tank. Solid design in every aspect. Its a bit heavy, but I like it. Makes it feel that much more solid in your hands. So far it has vaped everything I have thrown at it like a champ (reg 510, LR 306, full range of cleros, 808 cartos with adapter, 510 cartos) Right now I'm vaping on my very first xl 510 atty. This thing was putting out so little vapor on my eGo and I even tried debridging it but it still wasn't producing. Put it on the ProVari, crank it up to 4.9 volts and it vapes better than it ever has before.

Let us know how you like it when you get it. And pictures if you can! Im anxious to see the black one out in the field =)

 

[crackbag]

right on man! i did change it to the chrome one. the black looked liked it would peel and kinda looked like a less expensive mod so i went strait for the bling!

 

[slumdog]

I went for the bling myself as my siggy says\/

That is very subjective, there are many who do not like the looks of the arm and how that arm functions as well as the overall look of the unit it self. Many like a round tube Mod over a rectangular Mod, fits in the hand nicer. Not for nothing it functions well from all I have read but there is just many that don't like the looks and that's important to many of the vapors out there. I for one chose the Provari over the Darwin and I'm glad I did

Many of us just don't put much weight on "looks" and instead put more emphasis on performance and ease of use. I like that the Darwin senses the atty and adjusts the power level automatically. At the Atl Vape Fest I didn't like how many times you had to push the button on the ProVari to work through the menu options. With the Darwin you just set it and forget it and it does all the work. And it actually fits quite nicely in your hand. I also like the 2 year warranty which is significantly more than any other PV. But as you said, it's all subjective and if looks is your most important criteria, then you probably made the right choice for yourself.
