People that have not seen a Provari seem to think they are bigger than they are?

When I first started vaping (cig look-a-likes) and logged onto ECF, there was a Provape banner ad on top.
To me at that time it looked huge, and I thought I'd never be seen with something that large.

As others have pointed out, the Provari is actually quite a bit shorter than most of the VV mods out there. I could see that in the published measurements, but I too was pleasantly surprised how short my mini is and how easily it slips into my pocket.

    I read often that a Pvari user "grabs my Twist" (1100?), when he leaves the house (not referring to a price difference). I'm a 650 ego user and think of a 1100 Twist as being huge, so I imagine the Pvari as being quite a handful.

    I'm athletic and wear loose clothing, so it would fit in my pocket well- but I would mind the weight. I'd prefer aircraft grade aluminum. I don't, for myself, see the price justified by it being ordinary steel (or SS).

    My perfect Pvari would be Anodized Aluminum, VW, USB chargeable, at around $125.

    I was very surprised by how small it is too. the pictures make it look bigger and the mini's are tiny so small in fact they are very easy to misplace :confused: I know one day I'm going to find it and it will be like I got a new PV. but in the mean time my purple mini will be here I Saturday. that's one of the things I love about provape 3 days from ordered to in my mitts

    I would actually assert that it's a better product because it's SS not aluminum. What do you get other than a small weight savings if it was made from aluminum. I have a satin silver mini, it lives in my front pocket with change, car keys, a pocket knife and what ever other crap I happen to put in there. There is no way an anodized finish would last more than a couple of days. Aluminum threaded to aluminum is a pain in the .... There is a reason that most hi end mods are made from SS, I pay that much for a device I want it to stay looking nice and there is no way aluminum would do that. The weight feels significant in your hand initially but you quickly get used to it. Like a nice SS watch, they feel heavy at first but you quickly get used to it.

    From reading the posts about them being "huge," I bought one expecting it to be. However, after getting it in the mail and removing it from the bubble wrap, I think it is beautifully sized. Big enough to hold comfortably in my hand. I use to vape on ego batteries and held them between my index finger and my thumb. I guess the term "huge" is in "the eye of the beholder." My friend has an eVic and side by side, the provari is actually "smaller."

    Not USB-chargeable, but an Empire Mod with a Kick fits that description mostly.
