Looks like the ProVari may have a rival.

I have several VV PV's and they all hold the voltage good in the range I vape at. I think the device you have on the end of it affects the taste more than the PV. I think you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between a 25.00 VV 350 and a Provari as far as vaping goes. Looks, reliability and prestige goes to the Provari.
I have a Mini LT V1 45.00, a Yung June V2 49.00, a V8 29.00, VV 350 29.00, Twist 20.00 and a Gripper 49.00. They all work very good and I've only had one fail, the V8 and I got a replacement free of charge. I could have bought a Provari but I like trying different PV's. I have a Vmax coming, 62.00 and will probably get a ZMax too.
So far I like the Gripper the best. It has the best LED display, easy voltage adjustments, reads resistance, comfortable to use and is a 18650 VV PV that you can stick in your shirt pocket. Will it last as long as a Provari probably not being as it is plastic and I will probably drop it one too many times. If it does break I will simply replace it like I have the many ego types over the years.

    Wow! 6V! new li-polymer battery (safer?) AND usb charging!

    Lol, it says "smoke in the charging". I wonder if thats Chinese for Passthrough?

    Hm, no dust/moisture cover over the bottom.

    I used to love getting a new PV every couple of weeks -I probably could have bought 4 or 5 ProVari's with amount I spent too. Just got a bit tired with the rigmarole of it and wanted something that would last a while without any hassle.

    I miss the "postman stalking" though...

    Sorry for going offtopic but, I just had a problem with my kick not working as it should...

    I found out the kick's safety features were shutting it off, because there was a hole in the wrapper of the 18490 I was using...

    Would it be safe to use if I cover the hole with a sticker or tape or something like that. (maybe move the AW sticker and place it over the hole?)

    I'd think, with the ability to burn your house down, and destroy your face, hands or crotch(if it's in your pocket)- most folks would say "toss it". But hey- I'm often wrong about things.

    I was that way when I spent the xtra money for a reliable car. After 18yrs of nothing but oil changes, I got plugs, wires
    and a dist. cap. Put the cap on and sold it 2 yrs later. Ran like a top! Got something newer and been pouring money into it since I bought it.

    It seemed boring at the time, but in the end it allowed me to focus my money and energy on my family.

    Lol, yeah, trying new toys is always fun but gets old.

    I'd like to have the MOD issue resolved and move to the thing that matters, the Vapor Delivery Device, I think that's a more productive search so you can finally go all in into DIYing.

    Made a few of my own VV mods at this stage too - the ProVari is it for me, no more shopping around for the perfect device.

    If you do keep it then put some electrical tape on it but I'd bin it mate.
    Batteries are cheap - facial reconstruction isn't.
