Lavatube vs. Provari is comical. For one thing...the Buzz Pro vs. Lavatube would be a little more inline...and even then, it's no contest.
Let's do a Real comparison of the Provari and LavaTube

LOL.. you guys are way too funny. Yes, I have been openly critical of Provari, I make no bones about that. This thread does not deal with those issues so I would appreciate it if you would not jump to conclusions.
Creniker,
There are no trade secrets issues here. According to the law if someone independently finds out the information by reverse engineering a device and goes public, that information is fair game and cannot be protected under the trade secrets laws. Those laws are designed to protect the company from willful disclosure of secrets by it's employees who have signed non disclosure agreements.
Scottinboca,
Nailed it on the head. There are many comparisons of Provari and the LavaTube. None of them are based on the actual components and technical specs themselves. I only sought to end this once and for all by bringing the whole truth out into the open.

Your welcome. Ha, I know you were being sarcastic but I really do believe this type of comparison will benefit all. It's not about bashing Provari in the least.
Doesn't the Buzz Pro work off of a different principle than the LavaTube entirely? I thought they did. The reason for the Provari vs LavaTube comparison is because, 1) it's a hot topic around this and other forums and 2) because they operate on similar principles and design
Provari never drops it's voltage under load as the battery drains, the lavatube does... I own both and have metered them both which is how I know this (another ecf member discussed the LT losing voltage which led me to test it for myself). Provari wins a battle that was no contest to begin with. Case closed!!!

Buzz doesn't loose voltage under load either. The only thing the Buzz doesn't have is a built in meter.

I was not referring t you sober4. That is why I initially stated that the Lavatube vs. Provari is comical. There is no comparison. Yes, you are correct in the fact that the Lavatube does in fact drop in voltage as the battery is drained.
You can view the specs that I obtained testing the BUZZ Notcigs Buzz Pro Variable Voltage Mod | InVape
I am now testing the Lavatube, and will post my results when finished.
All three...the Lavatube, the Provari, and the Buzz are all variable voltage devices. Yes, they operate differently from one another, and yes they have different price points, but there is a reason for this. They all serve a valuable and tangible purpose...but to compare one with another to infer that one is "better" than the other is ridiculous.
Many factors goes into what "I" may deem better, or the "next" person.
All three serve different "needs".
The objective is to determine what is "your" need, at an acceptable price point.

The buzz and infinity pro pv use a buck regulator rather than a boost. Bp/ip have a battery stack which is a higher voltage than the working range.
Lavatube and provari use the inverse, a boost, raising the output voltage beyond what their single battery inherently has.
Pricewise, sure, bp is closer to lt than the provari, and ip is just barely more than an lt, but the technology is different. Also, bp and ip have good build quality, been around for some time, are US designed and built. Buzz has been doing vv longer than other production vendors.

It's not the technology that is used, rather the results that are achieved...that is important.
Comparing a Provari to a Lavatube under the hood would like be comparing a Pinto to a Lexus.
The only thing they have in common is that they are both Tube Mods.
One made in the USA the other made somewhere in a Chinese factory.
There is no comparison.

One of "THE" most sensible comments I have heard yet in the discussions about LT vs Provari.... What a breath of fresh air... Thanks TUC...
I wasn't saying anything about your review, I do agree with what you said. My comment was relative to the op suggesting doing a teardown; boost and buck, 1 battery and 2, are fundamentally different technical approaches, so comparing the guts of a buzz to those of an lt (or provari) would be a shrug.
I understand what you are saying...but...really? I mean, why? It would be like tearing down a Ferrari and Camaro for comparison. What's the point? Especially when the Camaro serves its purpose to those who can't afford a Ferrari?
I'm fairly certain you won't find anything identifiable inside of a Provari anyway. Provape had the parts "purpose built" when they designed it. The LT used existing boards/parts in their construction.
