New to the forum and need some advise for my next step

[yamezbond]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to the wonderful habit of vapor. I started with some e-cigs brands but i think I'm ready to get to the next step on the vap experience. I have been read a lot of stuff around the web but everything seems confuse when you get to the mods Vaps stuff. So I wonder if some of your expertize help me to decide which way I need to go.
First I was review 2 brands from a bunch of stuff out there, the first one was the Provari and my second one was the Evic 2, whch has a lot of tech stuff which I love it. However since all these brands are sold by kits with no cartomizers and tanks I need some help here to build the one who will fit my needs.

1. I'm inclined by the Provari (which can go to 2.0v to 6.0v) but need to know if the Evic which has 3v to 5v and the adjustable range of wats (2w to 11w) has a difference on the puff time and how this helps on the quality of vapor.
2. Which tanks or Cartomizers I need to get for any of those devices?
3. The tanks or cartomizer are compatible with each other (Just in case for future references)
4. Which tanks or Cartomizer are rebuild-able so I don't expend a bunch of money every time i burn those.
5. Can I put a different juice on those devices or I just need to use their juice.
6. Beside those brands is any other good brand that i will look into it?

I don't know if I miss something but your help will be really appreciate.

Thanks!

There are many clearomizers, carto tank setups, whatever you prefer that can be used for both devices. I have a Provari also and love it. Everyone loves different. I love the Vivi Novas and I rebuild the heads with cotton wicks so it saves me alot of money. Some love the Protanks, and evods are also nice. The evods have an ego threading so you would need a 510 to ego adapter if you use it on the Provari. I'm not sure but I think you would need the same adapter for an Evic. Protanks and evods can be rebuilt also but I'm not as familiar with rebuilding bottom coils yet. And as far as eliquids go, you can get them from all different vendors not just the ones you get your kit from.

Provari is amazing. Simple yet advanced. I use mine with a Kanger Protank or a E Baron dripper.
I just orderd my second Provari Mini

Can't go wrong with the Provari, it is the Lamborgini/Ferrari of the APV's out there, though pricey. The Evic probably down around a Cadillac/Lexus/Infinity. Battery life of each is very similar as they are not internal built in batteries, you can swap them out and use the same types of batteries, Evic comes with a 2600mah Samsung 18650, the Provari can use the same battery. Other comparable mid-range APV's that perform like those 2 are the Innokin SVD, I personally own one of these and would suggest it, the ZMax and Vamo are also quite comparable and more durable than the Evic like the Provari, another in the Provari price range is the Darwin. However you are aksing about range of attachments, Provari, SVD, ZMax, and Vamo all come with 510 and Ego Cone connections, which opens up majority of the whole array of atomizers, cartomizers, carto-tanks, clearomizers, and other tanks. IE Kanger Protanks/Evods/T3's, Vivi Novas, Innokin iClears, CE# (example # like the CE4 or CE5, etc), any DCT, 510 and 306 drip atomizers, majory of your rebuildable systems (RBA/RDA). Most tanks are refurbishable, ie can have the coil heads replaced, and several if you have the patience and ability, rebuildable coil heads, examples Kanger protanks, evod, and T3 heads, Vivi Nova heads. All tank systems, in fact any attachment, you don't have to stick with any proprietary juice or flavor, example cartomizers, you can buy some pre-filled, but you can also buy those that are blank and just needing filling before use, example cartomizers again, you can buy blank Boge or SmokTek cartomizers and fill them with whatever juice you like.

Just do your research before commiting to a device or attachment fully.

I recommend the Provari and add a ProTank to it for the perfect vape. I can picture it at this moment.

 

[yamezbond]

Thanks for the info, do you guys recommend any trusted online store?

 

[yamezbond]

Also are there any coupons to get the Provari?

 

[Lucky1127]

5% sale for the fourth only discount I've seen check out there clearance

 

[john528979]

A lot of the websites that sell them have coupon codes just google the website name and put coupon codes after the name

 

[Volcanoboy]

There's a store locator on the official site: ProVape Store Locator
I'd stick to this to find a shop near you

opinions abound! I have both. Both are great. I would not be concerned with the upper power level. I can't seem to get much beyond 5 volts without the juice tasting "burnt".

If the Provari is a Ferrari then what would you call a Zen, an Orion or a Caravela or a host of others?

To me the Provari is my American muscle car, the Evic is my Maxima. (all out power or bells and whistles).

The Provari costs twice as much. The Evic is more programmable,

The Provari does not do variable wattage, The Evic does (not really an issue, I thought I would mention).

The Provari is stainless steel, I think the Evic is aluminum. The Provari is probably twice as heavy.

I am not sure if The Provari is going to outlast 2 Evics, (although sometimes I think it may). I have not had any issues with either one in over 6 months.

An adapter is required for certain atomizers on the Provari (female 510 connections), no adapter is necessary for Evic.

There is more useless information available on the Evic programming, (am I really going to look at my Evic to know today's date?).

The programming mode is more accessible on the Evic, it takes awhile to get used to the Provari, but neither one is really much of an issue.

There seems to be many more Provari fans around here than Evic fans.

I am a little concerned by a company that charges me an additional $15 for a blue led instead of a red one. Feels like price gouging to me. (I still don't understand why blue is so important, read the classifieds, it seems to be a real issue (???)). I am also feel like I am being price gouged by a company that sells me a product and then wants to hit with an additional $24.95 for an additional one year warranty. If the product is good enough why not just give me the warranty instead of squeezing me for an additional 25 bucks (sorry, it is only $24.95). That said, I still bought one and I still use it every day.

Well, according to Provapes, they have an store about 20 min from where I live in Chicago, which is CigTechs, but when I go to their website they not even have the Provari on their menu. Also seems that according to them the prices on store doesn't reflect the prices on store...mhum.... are they more expensive?? Wonder also if they charge taxes since I'm on the same state?

 

[yamezbond]

JClifford thanks for compare both devices and your dam right on the company charging more for something that could be added at not cost and have more happy customers than few. As always some people like me are trying to change from smoking to vapor but money is hard on these days. Is a kind of expensive hobby if I can call it like that .
My other point on this is that almost all pro vapes devices companies make them harder to choose the right device, for example they should include one tank or cartomizer, and at least some juice etc to the device so it will be ready to rumble; which this incurs on extra cost that most people don't count on it when they get their "kit" order and get very disappointed once they realize they were not get informed about these extra things they need.
Well that's my opinion, probably most people doesn't share this but as a newe on the vap hobby this is the way I see it

 

[jclifford]

if money is tight go for the third option... Vamo! You can get that from Fasttech for about 30 bucks. (I paid double that mail order from a vendor). variable volts or variable watts, it does both. sort of like a top of the line Hyundai! get a couple of vivi nova's (about 4 bucks each) or you can get even cheaper with their clearo's. remember atomizers are disposable so buy several. The vamo and the evic work with both, the provari needs an adapter for the clearo's. Some people have told me they get a better "hit" with the vivi's.

BTW, yes I have all 3 (a couple more also), and I use them all and I am a user, not a re-seller (yet).

Forget the "all in one kit", you are lucky you found this forum, you can find all the info you need to make great decisions and save lots of money. Think of all the extra money you are going to have when you stop buying daily analogs, it adds up real quick, in no time at all you will have enough to buy any mod you want.

stick with USA juice. You want USP grade PG and VG. The chinese juice is somewhat unknown. There are several USA juice vendors that are highly recommended and fairly inexpensive. Even better get into DIY, mix your own, not difficult and very inexpensive. You can use all the money you save and buy multiple Provari's!!

If it is in your budget get the provari. If you want to go budget and still get value go to fasttech and look at the vamo or the lavatube they are around $35 there.
