The difference is how many watt a given APV can put out. The V1 LT is 2.5amp and approx 12watts. The V1.5 LT is 3amps = about 14.5watts. The latest Provari is 3.5amps = about 17watts and the Vmax is 5amps = about 24watts.
Watts will determine how much voltage you can apply to any given atomizer to get the vapor you want. A LR DC Carto require the most watts to meet your needs.
Tested my Ovale after my last post and it is indeed a 2.5amp unit like the V1 LT. The problem I was having that made me think it was less is that it kept cutting out which indicated to me that I was exceeding it's watts limit. Turns out I have a bad fire switch that has to be held down with much more pressure than I'm accustomed to, essentially a bad switch.
After checking it closer I now think it will meet your expectations.

Great to hear and thanks!
I'm not overly concerned about the Ovale-V8 being
better than a LT or such, it's more about if it was
as good, which it seems it's in the ballpark. Good enough for me.
Yep. Now to just find some suckers....I mean takers. Need to give my scope a workout. I am working on a new setup for testing too, Errol. The entire thing will set on the desktop and have a place to plug in the mod and the carto/atty, or have an option for a passthrough-type thing so you can still use it. I also picked up a pretty mice MM from Matco that will allow on-screen display and data logging. Not quite as nice as the Fluke, but that is a nice option.
Nice, I'm happy now that I helped instigate the convo about the comparison testing. A real bench comparison test would be a great tool for newbies and vets alike to be able to navigate though all this gear, plus doing so with solid information.
With my computer components, there are always specs to compare with and tons of reviews from owners. It seems the specs side of PV's are still a bit thin sometimes and it's hard to know upfront how they would perform. So many options and similar choices!

Thanks for the concern andrew, just lost my job and have been in kind of a slump. Nobody seems to be hiring 60 yr olds and it's really frustrating. Anyway, I acknowleged the win in the contest thread. Thanks a million for the contest. Just been a lurker and liker lately. Talk to you as soon as I don't have to look up to see down.
Man, that sucks 2tone, but here's wishing the best for ya....keep your head up.
A person with skills and experience is always a good bet AFAIC.
