Don't buy a vivi version 1 they are pos. Go for 2.5 at least. And I rarely say this.

Yeah, seeing that you can get a slightly blemished Provari with the full year warranty in the clearance section for $140 Blem ProVari V2 Satin Silver and pick up a Vivi Nova tank elsewhere for $10, that's quite a markup.
I honestly think when people claim the provari gives them a better vape that is all in there head. Like I said I own two of them
To say it makes you juice taste better or hit harder is illogical. I can admit there is a difference between a 33.3 he chip and the provari but between a provari and a flat dc ego or mod there is no difference at all. They both put out a certain voltage. In the provaris case and some other mods you can choose that voltage.
It all translates to heat and that's bottom line

I appreciate you opinion. You can't tell a difference. However, there are still people who claim that THEY can tell a difference. The Provari has the patent on the Acuset chip set which no other device has, and that might be the key. There is an ongoing debate in the Provari thread about the 33.3 chip now, and many people claim to to be able to distinguish the difference. Because you can't, don't dismiss those that can.
Some people can taste plastic if their juice is in a plastic delivery device. I can't, but I don't question that they can, even though I prefer pyrex for other reasons. Some people can taste metal with a metal drip tip. I can't, but I don't tell them it's all in their mind, even though I prefer the feel of glass instead. I don't go into a forum telling those people that what they are experiencing is "all in their head". It is very real to them, and that is all that matters.

IMO yes you may be mechanically inclined and will most likely pick up the whole VV concept really fast. BUT! this entire hobby is about what you enjoy and always finding that new ADV or that device that just makes your day. If you jump straight into the top of the line mods you will not be disappointed but I think you are also robbing yourself of the experience. I started with an eGO and I currently use an eVic. Planning on moving up to the Provari very soon.
I forgot to mention airow maybe that is the difference they feel.
So quick opinion here because hey! It is the internet and who does not have an opinion to share!
I think it is important to remember for many people this is not a hobby. They are not looking to collect, and may get overwhelmed with all the VV/VW/Rebuild/Mech Mod/etc. They are looking to quit cigs and see this as a possibility.
This is partly why I stopped taking my Provari Mini to work and go outside with a simple Twist and Stardust setup. Had people asking about ecigs and when they saw the Provari it was like "Hmm seems weird and complicated." Twist and Stardust comes across as pretty simple, less expensive, and effective.
Good point, Larzis. I only use mods and have never owned an eGo battery. I did start out with Volt cigalikes and Volt X2 batteries (eGo clones) but those were given out to beginners to try. Never got them back.
I make a point to tell curious people that are interested in what I'm using that what I have are "advanced". They may have seen cigalikes before, so are naturally confused by the larger mods like the Provari or my Gripper mods.
I recall being in a mall and coming across a vendor selling over-priced, under-powered cigalike kits in a kiosk. I decided to humor myself while he allowed me to try one while giving me outrageous claims on how long the battery and "flavor filter" would last me. Then I pulled out my Provari. He was surprised and dumbfounded by what he saw.
What is THAT? I told him it was MY e-cigarette. He said he didn't know they were made that big. Anyway, I told him to look up ECF online and educate himself and find some better equipment to sell. I took a toke on my Provari, creating a plume of vapor the size I'm sure he's never seen before, and walked off with a smile on my face.

Does that mean the Provari mini is for sale now?
Heheh O noooo. I love the Provari. Really dig my others too. Line em all up with different juices for the evening.
Seriously, just get the Provari! OP, you had it in your mind when you started this thread.... You obviously must be able to afford it, and you will end up with one eventually.... Pull the trigger man!!
I very quickly climbed the ladder looking for a great vape, and having the reliability of the battery and power delivery always at the ready was a big step in finding "my vape" I was less concerned with whether my battery was going to be consistant, and left free to explore different juice delivery devices. Now I'm perfecting Genesis style rebuildables and can't figure out why more people aren't hot rodding their gear more. Nothing against the other types of mods and JDS but holy cow man, save yourself some time and frustration and just go for it!

ill have to disagree with you also i have had three "china" mods die on me not one was physical damage all three were the chips burning out. also keep in mind "you" have friends who may be able to fix them,that does not mean that everyone does keep that in mind when suggesting something like that.
as far as "vape quality" goes you will see the most difference from a good mod compared to a cheep one about half way through your day when you need it most and your battery is half dead and the cheep devices are working like garbage.
