What you think about those sellers on craigslist? I saw some on there for $85 and $75.

People are selling eVic's on craigslist? lol

What are you planning on using on top? The Provari will last a lot longer than the eVic. The Provari is VV and van go up to 6.0V while the eVic can only do 5.0V. The eVic is VW and can go up to 11 watts. It really depends on your needs. Are you going to be rough with whatever you get? The Provari is built tougher and I believe they have a warranty too. But for the price of one Provari you could almost buy two eVic's.

I'm not rough with my stuff especially electronics. I baby my gears. I know VV is variable voltage but what is VW and what is the difference?

I email the craigslist seller selling for $75 and $85 2 different seller. If I can get it at that price then I'll try the Evic if not then I'll spend more and get the provari.

VW is variable wattage. Instead of changing the voltage you change the wattage and it automatically adjusts the voltage for you.If you change to a different carto or whatever, it will automatically adjust the voltage to keep the same wattage you had set. It also recommends a wattage to start at whenever a new device is attached. It will read the ohms to you then suggest a wattage setting.

Say you want to put a 3 ohm carto on an set it for 5.9 watts, it will adjust the voltage to 4.2 volts. Then if you change to a 2 ohm atty it will adjust it to 3.34 volts to keep it at 5.9 watts.

Basically no matter what you put on top, it will always put out the same watts you set it at and adjust the voltage accordingly. Kind of like this chart. I hope this makes sense.

What are you planning on putting on top of it? If you are going to run low ohm RBA's at like 1.2 ohms I would go for the Provari. If you are going to stick to carto's I would say get the eVic.

Thanks!
So VW is better than the VV?

Some people say it is because it makes it easier if you are constantly changing cartos or whatever. I use mine with 3.0 ohm CE2 style cartos at 5.9 watts and my AGA-T+ at 11 watts. There is also the Innokin SVD that does VW/VV and the Vamo. I know where to get a Vamo for ~$35 shipped for the body only. The SVD is around $100 and is a solid device. I should have mine in less than a month.

Here is a good video that explains VW a little more in depth.

We have a few that post just to try and be helpful, but are unsure of their answers.

Provari is VV
eVic is Both VV and VW so you do have the choice
Provari will last longer than an eVic? well this is subjective at this point. eVic is a new release and may or may not last.
Provari Is built more durable and does carry a warranty. If your in an obscure country that may not help much.

Don't buy off Craigs List to risky.

Here's what I have to offer:
I've had a ProVari since April of 2011. It has fallen on the ground with enough force to break an atty off of the base. It was the only thing I used until very recently. It still looks good and functions like the day I got it.

Recently I've purchased a vamo and an evic. I know you're not asking about a vamo so I'll leave that out.

The evic is a nifty toy. It does all sorts of stuff that I had laughed about with a friend a year or so ago. "Wonder how long it will be before we can plug this into the computer and program it to do something ha ha ha" Evidently not long at all...

VV or VW? I didn't really notice a big difference to be honest. In the end they all do the same thing: heat a coil that turns liquid to vapor. In either case you can adjust the heating to deliver the best flavor etc.

If you like tech stuff, on a tighter budget and want something now, or want to be able to try both VV & VW then the evic is ok.

If you want something that is well built, easy to use, good looking, and can survive mishaps then the ProVari is the answer.

If I had to give up my evic or ProVari... the evic would go.

Hi Vapors and Evicanians, anybody's already having a clue about the "coming soon" of the 2.0 software release? Or where I can find some news about hacker's progress? I really hope to get rid off that silly recommended power thing, the weird time indication (sometimes switches to 00:00 during operation) and eVic seems to be showing unregular resistanceresults which hopefully will be fixed then...

btw, anybody noticed that resistances are showed kind of bouncing? Sametime I checked the same atty (Euforia in this case) with ProVari and Tesla, no issues. After some attempts of unscrewing and screwing the atty again, eVic seems to calm down. May that have possibly to do with the nores-res-nores configurations of my resistances? Just wondering, as I had the same thing with my Terminator-C installed but I didn't check regular resistances or just forgot or unrecognized it. But, however, all gets back to normal by itself after a while... suggesting to rename that thing to "eWeird" :D

My eVic is far from what I call a quality built device. If it lasts for a year, I'll be most surprised. The Provari will last, and if it does break after the warranty, they will repair it for a very reasonable fee. When your eVic breaks, it's trash.



For those who have the Evic do you regret getting in stead of a Provari?

I'm a newbie to vape and can't decide on which to get yet but am leaning towards the Provari Mini but the price on the Evic is so so tempting.

I have both, and there are no regrets either way.

I have (2) two eVics now going on to 1,500 hours each without a hitch, and have more than proven themselves to me and I consider them good quality devices. If you are an 11 watt+ vaper, go with the Provari. Below that, they perform equally well. If you'll use dual coil cartos or RBAs with 30ga wire with the eVic, I suggest swapping out the OEM battery with an AW IMR one. I doubt anyone can really go wrong with any of the major APVs such as the Vamo, ZMax, eVic, Provari, etc. as they all work rather well and do the trick.

There are characteristics and qualities which separate each out, and you'll have to decide what's best for you. I find Youtube videos do "generally" quite well to lay it all out on the table, since I'm more interested in demonstrable reviews.

So far I have found that the load itself is shifting that, esp. ss wicks partially shorting out in Gennys. There is no other PV that will re-poll impedance every 2 seconds or so and show the results on the screen LIVE so you can take action right away.

Here we go again with the 1,500 hours on the eVic. Do the math, Kenrc51. There are still only 24 hours in one day.

Sir, can you please tell us the purchase date?

Sir, why hasn't your hours increased from your post of 03/12? Have you stopped using them? Here it is 3 days later, and you still have the same 1,500 hours.

Sir, when you you take time to eat?

Sir, how many hours per day do you sleep?

Edit: Please note folks, the claim is not for one eVic, but 1,500 hours on TWO of them, each. That's 3,000 hours.

1,500 hours --- reinterated !!!
