What you need to figure out is at what WATTS you like your vape best. That is determined by the combination of your voltage with the ohms of the carto/tank/atty you are using. Most people like a vape somewhere between 5.7 watts to 8 or 9 watts. Some go higher. Few really like to go lower in watts. There is a nice calculator that you can use to plug in the voltage you are using on your PV and then plug in the ohm you are using to find out what watts you are running. For me...5.8 to 6.8 watts is about the largest range I want to go. I DIY my own menthol mix and make it pretty strong. I want FLAVOR more than anything, even though vapor and TH is also important. But if the flavor is washed out with heat and/or a burnt taste, that's no good imho. Some people find that they can vape 11 watts with the juice they use and that's a perfect level for them. And some are just reckless throat hit chasers. There are many roads that lead to the destination you seek. I don't use high voltage...but I do use low ohms. Dual coils also will heat up your vape big time. Many ways to approach the problem. Anyway, here's that calculator I was talking about. You can play around with it...helps me a lot!

zomg caps lock explosion.... of death.

about the provari thing, people tend to sell them for only slightly below market value, unless you find someone who wants to trade for a kicked tube mod or something. Also I would not buy a provari from a brick & mortar, theres just no point and they are most likely going to gouge you on the price. I just bought my first 2 provari minis from provape and IMO thats the best option because you get a year warranty w/ the option to add another year, which is what I did for mine and my gf's.

Also, I know everyone says this but once you get a provari you will never look back, compared to my twists its like a fog machine, which I never would have believed before owning them (especially since its only a battery mod) but in terms of vapor production and overall quality it is just.... better. We had to buy one for my gf because she kept stealing mine and doesn't want her ego twists anymore. We have a few ego twists but I've never seen one w/ a twist cap like that either, where did you get it?

SO I STARTED WITH THE DIY STUFF, I COULDNT BE HAPPIER.. I LOVE MIXING. I GET MY STUFF FROM WIZARD LABS, THEY ARE THHHHHEEEE BESSSSSTTTT WITH NIC, SUPPLY'S, JUICE, PG, VG.. THE NIC IS ORGANIC, AND ITS NOT TOOOOO FAR AWAY FROM ME SO I CAN DRIVE THERE ( I AM A BIT IMPATIENT, SO SOMETIMES I CANT WAIT FOR SHIPPING). EVERYTHING ABOUT WIZARD LABS AND THE OWNER JOHN ARE FANTASTIC..:toast:
BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM FINDING A PLACE THAT SHOWS A LIST OF TPA FLAVORING ONLY RECIPE'S ANYONE KNOW OF A SITE OR ANYTHING??? (I ALREADY KNOW I CAN FIND SOME HERE BUT I HAVE TO SEARCH THROUGH PAGES AND PAGES OF THE FORUM, IM LOOKING FOR MORE LIKE A DATABASE OR SOMETHING SIMILAR)

2. NOW I HAVE BOUGHT 2 MORE BATTERY'S FROM MY LOCAL VAPE STORE, THE FIRST ONE I BOUGHT WAS A LITTLE 600 SOMETHING BATTERY, SECOND WAS A 900 SOMETHING I BELIEVE AND I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 1100 MAH VV THEY JUST CAME OUT WITH.. I HAVE A VIVI NOVA 2.5 TANK SITTING ON IT AND I LOOOVVVE THE VIVI TANK, (HOW MANY OHMS SHOULD MY ATTY BE AT IN THE TANK FOR A 1100 MAH BATTERY?) BUT MY PROBLEM HERE IS THAT I NEED A HIGHER VOLTAGE.. THIS 1100 MAH BATTERY IS A VV BATTERY BUT IT ONLY GOES UP TO 4.6 VOLTS.. I WANNA GO UP TO 5 VOLTS OR 5.5 VOLTS.. IM HEADING TOWARDS A PROVARI, I KNOW IM HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.. I FEEL LIKE MY BATTERY SUCKS BECAUSE I CANT GET ENOUGH OF A WARM VAPE OR CONSISTANT THROAT HIT... I FEEL LIKE I NEED A BIG BATTERY. THE VAPE STORE NEAR BY ME SELL THE PROVARI V2 BUT ONLY BY ITSELF.. EVERYTHING ELSE IS " A LA CARTE" WHICH SUCKS IM LOOKING FOR THE VERY CHEAPEST PLACE TO BUY A PROVARI V2 KIT... WITH EVERYYYTHING THE EXTENDED CAP .. ALL THAT.. I CAN CARE LESS FOR THE COLOR. AND I KNOW I CAN TWIST MY VIVI NOVA TANK ON IT... ANYBODY KNOW OF A GOOD PLACE? OR MAYBE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE??

3. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF SOMEONE ON THIS SITE THAT IS SELLING THEIR PROVARI AS A KIT?... MAYBE I CAN GET IT CHEAPER IF ITS USED???/.. I DONT MIND SO LONG AS IT STILL WORKS.. "JOHN" OVER AT WIZARD LABS TOLD ME ROCKETMAN SELLS HOMEMADE APV'S .. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WILL WORK LIKE A PROVARI.. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN IN EXPENSIVE WAY TO MAKE MY OWN... (THE EASIEST WAY POSSIBLE?) BECAUSE IM NOT VERY TECHY.. I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BATTERY'S OR CONNECTING THEM OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT...

I really wanted the OP to try the 1.8 ohm head that came with the vivi nova first, but if he really wants a ProVari, then by all means, go for it. I am going to tell you that the ProVari is not the cure all magical fixall that would instantly give you a better vape. It is a better device, in my opinion, but not 200 dollars better than an eGo twist. I'm not a ProVari hater, I just don't want people to buy it thinking that it'll solve all their problems and then some, when in fact, with a little research, could be fixed without the initial cash outlay.

I'm not anti-ProVari at all, can't wait for the new models to come out to replace these 2.
