My Provari arrived...

[Shortstuff116]

And I am impressed! It is much smaller than I imagined and with a battery installed about the same weight as a roll of quarters. Build quality is flawless. I unpacked it, put a battery in, put the extension cap on, put my 2.1 ohm carto on and set it at 4.3 ohms like I've owned this thing forever (it's sooooo easy!). I took my first vape and it was awesome, better than any vape I've ever experienced in more than 2 years.

This Provari really is a thing of beauty (to me anyway). Now I realize what all they hype is about and there's no doubt in my mind that it is worth every penny. I'm now trying my old 510 atty (2.2 ohm) with my pyramid tea bag filled cart and cranked it up to 4.4 volts and it is hitting with flavor and vapor I've not experienced before. It's taking me a while to type this because I keep stopping and picking it up to look at and vape!

I've got to thank BIG BLUE for enlightening me about the Provari, and to all of you who posted such excellent reviews both written and video. I don't know if any Provape people read these posts, but I have say that they have definitely done it right and I congratulate you on building such a fine product. There's nothing else I can say that hasn't already been said about this Provari. I am one very happy camper and now I have got to get a nice tank setup for myself.

Life is good!

Very nice! I'd really like to try a provari I've heard nothing but great things about it. Guess I better start saving my pennies! Gratz on the new PV.

Glad to here you got your Provari so Quickly.

Doesn't it feel Solid in your hand? Just Oozes Quality.

I also like the way I can put it down Upright on my desk and it doesn't fall over.

Grats on the arrival.

My provari is my new baby. I love it.

 

[BIG BLUE]

I just ordered one, what do you like best about it?

That's a tough question because there are so many things that I really like about it. Quality of build is high on the list because this thing reminds me of a well-built watch, very precise fits. It just feels hefty in your hand and the menu system is so easy to use. And as I mentioned before, it is so much smaller than I imagined no matter how many photos and videos I've watched before. Even with the extension cap (but no carto or atty attached) it stands about 1/4" shorter than a soda can. About the weight of a roll of quarters, but thinner. Just a good solid piece of workmanship.

You will not be disappointed!

congrats on the new member of your arsenal Shortstuff, the Provari is rock solid. I see loads of mini nic coma's in your future

Congratulations, and thanks for the reply. I am looking forward to it arriving.

Vegas, there is a LOT to like about these devices. Like Shortstuff said, the build quality is absolutely top-notch. It just feels like a precision engineered, perfectly crafted piece of gear. From a functionality standpoint, it has "fixed" a couple of the problems I've had for a while with vaping. First, there is zero voltage fall-off as the battery drains. If you set the device to 4.6 volts, it will stay at 4.6 until dead - makes it a very consistent experience.

The second very cool thing that you can do with the ProVari is really pull any atomizer out of the sock drawer, check the resistance, and dial in a voltage that works for you - every darn time. Have you ever bought a pack of attys that some seem to hit great and others do not? What I'm learning is that even though they are supposed to be identical, you can find some pretty wild shifts in resistance from atty to atty. With the ProVari, it really doesn't matter - you can dial it up or down as you like.

One other thing that is cool as heck. If you're like me, you may have some abandoned juices around that you just never liked a lot. Try them again, but play around with your voltages and you may find something that you really like. I recently pulled out an old bottle of an Apple Pie juice that never seemed to taste right. But I have found that vaping it in the 4.5 volt range, it is really very good!

Anyway, enough rambling - but I know you are gonna LOVE your new baby

 

[Hottody]

@motox, yes dialing in the voltage to optimize juice flavor is so cool! The quality and craftsmanship is very nice and comforting! Your post was very well written and describes some of the finer points of the Provari!

Reading through comments like this make me more and more excited about my Provari arriving in the mail.... hopefully TOMORROW!

 

[Phreaker]

I got mine today, yay! Like the OP said, even after watching umpteen videos and seeing pics, it's still smaller than I imagined it would be as well as heavier. I'm glad I was able to buy such a quality VV mod made here in the US of A.

 

[Seattle40]

Don't forget .. protection for your new investment. Took my cover off to look at it last week.. Looks brand new !!

 

[Hottody]

Provari just got it right! I love the fact that the idea of quality still exists in America today! Americans will pay more for things that exceed expectations! I hope Provari expands, develops new products as this industry is still growing and they are in the position to be the Ford Motor Company of the 21st century! Great device that really is a piece of art that exceeds expectations!

 

[craftmath]

The provari is in and yes its awesome so far. 4.5v with lemon knocks me on my @$$.

Decided I could not wait for V2s or blue LEDs to reach our shores so took delivery of a gorgeous Chrome Provari this morning. It is an awesome vape. I think I may finally after many years of vaping be able to give up the ciggies with this bit of kit.
It don't half slurp up that juice though.

It don't half slurp up that juice though.

Not sure what that means...

 

[Corkmaster]

Not sure what that means...

It seems to be burning juice quicker than my old kit (Trog's Screwdrivers). What I would expect really from a device that can deliver more power more consistently.

ETA 'don't half' is english slang for 'does something a lot'.

 

[Frick]

Ah, thanks. I had a feeling it was a UK thing I wasn't getting.

In the US, "don't half" would mean "barely does", as in "doesn't even achieve half of what it should".
