yea pretty much,but 40 pages in two days should tell ya something about those that just can't save enough pennies to get one
Coming from another Vamo and Provari owner...I went the opposite route. Bought the cheap RBA's and splurged on (if you can call it that, I bought used) a V1 ProVari. I have no regrets at all.
...Well except for the fact that I have to send the Vamo to my cousin next week, and I can't afford to console myself with a Provari Mini.
That's what I keep saying. There was another chart that was better, and I'm not sure how this one has become more popular.
EDIT: Found the old chart

Looks like we established the fact that Provari is designed for mainstream vapers. Mechanicals cover the fringe. I say whatever gives you the vape you need is what you should buy.
I'd like to own a Maserati, but don't hate those who do. I'm happy at 65mph.

Isn't the bottom line what ever gets you to stop smoking? That being said I got to go, late for ProVari church, today we drink the kool-aid.
I was being facetious. I already know the aforementioned combo would not work. Provari includes their safety feature on purpose. They even state a coil can catch fire if pushed too far. If the cut-off wasn't necessary, I'm quite sure they wouldn't go through the trouble to include it.
Edit: I usually stay about in the middle to slightly higher in the green zone. It seems to work well with fruit and citrus juices, which are the juices I prefer.

Has anyone seen how far into the red 18 watts with a 1 ohm coil would be on the Safe Vaping Power Chart? No you haven't, because it's off the chart!

This is how I feel about the Provari. Note that I don't own one yet, but am saving for one.
Yes, a vw feature would be nice.
Yes, it only has one button.
No, it doesn't allow computer upgrades.
No, it won't give the 7 day forecast.
No, it will not receive text messages.
Yes, having a different color costs more.
Yes, it can be dropped and not shatter into pieces, as I have seen demonstrated on u-tube.
Yes, they have the best warranty. Cheap devices have a 3 month warranty at best, and I'm wondering how easy it is to have that warranty honored.
Yes, it can be repaired outside warranty. Name a single Chinese device that will do that.
No, it really doesn't cost that much. (I paid $7/PAD for cigarettes willingly) There's other high quality mod's that cost as much, or more.

Do you have a link for that chart?
Sure the provari is for mainstream vapors these days, but thats only because other mods are catching up in allure. Now the PROVARI, (with GREEN or BLUE LED screen and PAINTED body) now THATS a mod for the connoisseurs.
i like the black body with the green led,,that is just sharp looking
If ECF was a RPG, that mod would fall under the category of "Rare legendary artifact," the fact that it's made from unobtainium doesn't hurt either. Hopefully they will start getting the green leds in larger quantities soon.
I found it on this page...

I think that chart only applies to atty's and cartos...
Not truly relevant to rebuildables, due to the cooling affect that the larger air chamber has.
I wrap a 1.1 ohm coil in my geni tank for a cool vape on an unregulated mod.
according to these charts, i'm borderline nuclear... but my vape is a cool flavourful vape.
**my personal preference**
And this is where my post ties in with ProVari users.
As a vaper who prefers a Geni-style tank, I am unable to properly use a ProVari To reach my desired heat level.
So i tend to lean on to the mechanical side of the argument. Someone may come along with a different opinion, then BOOM never-ending debate that escalates to random people dropping in with "omg elitist" & "stop drinking the cool-aid" posts. and it all goes to .... form there.
So when threads keep popping up and a provari is mentioned, everyone is at each others throats, because we all think that we have the best vaping setup.
The problem on these forums for BOTH sides of the fence, is that we are unable to accept that what works for us, may not be what works for others.
Solution:
Stop preaching and state what your opinion really is, just an opinion!

As to the OP question, did we get that resolved?
Did we get a picture of the Chupacabra?
Does Bigfoot take pictures of "provari hate"?
As far as I know there is no such thing as "provari hate" but maybe there's some evidence around for it. Anyone got a grainy photo to inspect? Someone good with photochop can make one?

The best reason for staying within safe limits is the possible production of acrolein. It's a lung damaging compound produced from VG at very high temps. The lower I stay in the range even with 80pg/20vg juices the safer I feel.

I heard they were switching over to wishalloy, so we might start seeing limited quantities.

Sometimes I wonder if some imported devices are made from whateverwehadonhand alloy. Aluminum can be great stuff or low grade crap. Pot metal can be high grade or brittle as chalk.
