I have an interesting perspective...I have had a zmax, vamo and all that. I also have and have had nice mechs. I had a provari for a long time. I say had because I sold it because I wanted a provari mini and twins which unlike the sigelei zmax telescope is actually like having a full size and mini provari. I am in the few day interim of having sent out my sold provari and not yet having received my new mini provari and twins. I have an itaste SVD to fill the gap in lack of vv device.
I hate it now. It feels cheap for one but I am not really offended by that. The next issue is I was building a genny coil and since the positive post on it was short, I was using 28ga to get a few wraps on there instead of using 32ga. Well, my coil was 1.2ohm though I intended it be 1.5ohm (I don't generally use 28ga), no biggie it's VV/VW and has a 5 amp limit so I should be able to fire it no problem and adjust the voltage to taste...nope. Does not fire, when I push the button it just kindly tells me it is 1.2ohms. I put it down to 3 volts, won't fire, same deal. That's 2.5 amps, so the 5 amps of power is not so much useful if I can't use it. So I recoiled and got it at 1.6ohms and I am vaping it at 1.6ohms, 2.6amps...doesn't make sense to me. This is using a panasonic cgr18650ch so it's not the battery. So the provari may be a 3.5 amp limit but you can use all of it, it will fire a 0.9ohm coil at 3.1 volts. So that's relatively annoying. Then the pulsing vape, also very annoying.
So long story short, I am just going to put this on a mech and vape it. I'll probably not use the SVD again, I'll just meter the coil and pop it on a mech. I miss my provari and it's only been 2 days. It just does exactly what it advertises and does it well. I'm not going to spend any more money on china vv/vw until they improve the chip that the zmax/vamo/anyvape/vape-pro/lavatube 2/svd/groovebomb use.
And you know what, I paid $46 for my SVD kit and it really isn't a bad device, I'm just spoiled.
