Well what can I say other than wow. I picked up a black chrome V1 used on the forum. It was worth every penny. I have several custom built Saber touch units and the Provari's build quality is top notch.

Yep.. most people who buy one think it's worth the money. I did send mine back for the upgrade but I really didn't have to, the v1 would have kept me happy. Glad you like it

I'm also debating on sending mine in for the upgrade. But I do not use cartos I'm strictly a CE2 tank user and with that said the Provari V1 works great. I guess the only reason to upgrade would be for resale appeal, and I have no intension of reselling my Provari.

That's what I thought until I started getting into the rebuildables.. being able to drop below 3.3 would be helpful, as some of the coils I wrap end up at 1.1 / 1.2 ohms.. it'd be much easier to drop the voltage, then re-do the entire coil.

I plan on sending mine in for the upgrade after I get my 2nd one in, after the blue/green lcd batch. I can't be without a provari.. gotta have one, even while the original goes in to get the upgrade!

I ordered me a new one a few days ago... I hope I see the same results!!

Just pulled the trigger on a black satin V2. Can't wait to join the club. E-cigs have come a long way since I started nearly 3 years ago!

My first experience was about 3 years ago as well. I had no clue what I was doing when I purchased a Blu- I think I even paid something like $70 for it. The ecig community was much smaller then and information wasn't as readily available as it is today.

I was horribly disappointed with the Blu; primarily because it wasn't reliable. If I were to get off analogs, I knew I'd need a something I could rely on. I gave up on vaping for a few years after my Blu experience...

I never would have guessed vape technology would evolve so quickly. We have so many choices today! After a few year break from the vaping world, I happened to stumble across a local vape store and I impulsively purchased an Ego. I haven't touched an analog from the second I purchased my Ego. The Ego was exactly what I needed (at that time) to quit analogs.
The Provari was available when I bought my Ego, but I wasn't willing to drop that much money on another potential "blu" experience.

Now...after learning what that I have about the Provari (on ECF), buying one just seems like the natural progression for me. While I don't like spending that much money, I'll do practically anything to enrich my vaping experience and keep me off analogs for good. I look at this as a life or death decision...

Be careful recommending the Provari to people on here. I just saw someone call another member a Provangelist and say we have Provangelitis. LOL I almost died laughing. It's hard to not recommend it after owning one but I guess everyone doesn't feel the same way as us about it.

 

[Randy C]

I just fired up my mew Provari- with a 3ohm cart in a DCT tank, with Mom & Pops tobacco haze. Re-freekin-markable!!! this thing blows more smoke than a 1977 Chevy Vega

 

[NickZac]

Yeah these are really nice units. I purchased quite a few different mods and then decided to pick the one I like and use that one. The Provari won. Additionally, the safety mechanisms built into the Provari are incredibly useful and that in itself makes it worth the extra money IMO.

 

[Robertogee]

I'm with Randy C. Been with V4L since I started. Got their Titan XLs about three months back, and a couple of tanks. LOVED 'em. Then, thanks to ECF, bought a couple of kGo 1100 mAhs to recycle. Loved THOSE. Now, the Provari V2 is on its way.

Of course, I've had to enroll in an electrical engineering course to understand what I'm doing.

But the assortment of carts, tanks, lo-res / standard-res, Stardusts, drip tips and great new flavors I've discovered after being happy with Tasty Vapor's Cafe Machiatto for two years -- somehow it's all WAY more involving, pro-active, interesting and CHEAPER than buying two $5 packs of analogs a day to kill myself in slo-mo.

One month's analogs alone costs more than the Provari, so the cost is negligible.

Can't wait to vary my voltage.

I can't remember the last time I saw a $5 pack of analogs! I quit 2 mos ago and was paying over $10 a pack.

But back on subject, I'm thinking of becoming a Provari owner - been doing my research and keep coming back to the Provari. One question - can you use stardusts (any resistance) on the Provari?

Need a 510 extension adapter inorder to use the stardust.

 

[lauragal]

Thanks - I have a 510 adapter and an 808. I didn't realize that the Provari has specific fittings - I better go check that out.

 

[Robertogee]

Is that correct? I'm using Stardusts on my kGo without an adapter. I thought the Provari had a stock 510 connection too.

 

[lauragal]

I think it's because of the end part of the Stardust that comes down that won't fit on the Provari - so you need a 510 to 510 adaptor - my guess is to raise it up?

 

[Robertogee]

Hmm. Can't wait to get my Provari V2. It arrives next week. The description on ProVape's site says, "stock 510 connection."

"Stock" means "standard." So I'm expecting the V2 to have a standard 510 connection like they say.

Are you saying that to use any standard 510 devices such as Stardusts, carts, etc., on the Provari we need a 510-to-510 connection for the Provari to work with all stock 510 devices?

Or just with Stardusts? Or what?

That would be misrepresentation on Provari's part, wouldn't it, if the connection is not "stock" or "standard" and in fact requires an adapter to use 510 devices?

Sure hope you're wrong as, after all my research on VVs, that's not what I thought I was getting.

 

[lauragal]

I'm really not sure - but I have the Vivi Nova which is "stock" 510 connection and it does not sit right on my eGo VV or my K-eGo. I've read some threads where people file them down a little so they sit right. As far as the stardust, my thought is that it's too long for the Provari, so using a 510 to 510 connector raises it up so that it can sit right - but I could be 100% wrong.

 

[lauragal]

Robertogee, look at post #13 in this thread

 

[Robertogee]

Don't have a Vivi Nova, but Stardusts fit and work perfectly on my kGo.
