Go ahead and get both. Get it out of your system. If you dont think its "all that" someone will give you 15-20 bucks less than you paid for it in one day in the classifieds here. Really.
Ill make you a one time offer. You get a Provari Mini in brushed silver, blem, use it a week, if you dont want it, PM me Ill buy it from you for 20 buck less than you paid for it. You pay shipping.
Correction: (getting tired) I would do it if you get the new design, not the blem

If after reading the three pieces above doesn't convince you to want a Provari, then perhaps it isn't the device for you.

Sounds like you're well on your way to having both...eventually. The whole notion of skip everything else and just buy the Provari is rather silly. Like Ocelot said, then what do you have to compare it to? I use my Provari every day with my carto's. I use my other numerous regulated APV's in rotation and for different reasons with different toppers. If you would have told me three months ago that I'd be using RBA's, multimeters, soldering irons, drooling over batteries, rebuilding coils, etc., I would have thought you were nuts. Vaping is an evolutionary process and everyone is different. Of course the Provari is a better device, and, personally, I think I do get a better vape from it than from my Vamo. It might not make sense, but that is my experience. I'm always surprised when I pop a tank from one device onto my Provari and it does taste better. It just does. So, get the SVD, love it, simultaneously find it irresistible to live without a Provari, wait a bit, then get one. My story is far from unique. Power up and Vape On!
Now check out the Nivel chip in the SvoeMesto Semovar. Many believe it's the best chip in the world in the best regulated APV in the world. Throw a Kayfun on top, and many would say it is superior to the Provari. I only mention this because, there will always be something else, something more, something different to fall in love with. That's one of the reasons that VapeQuest is so much fun. Just food for thought, friend. Power Up and Vape On! Best to you!

I have both SVD and Provari. The SVD is like the Provari's sister in looks in my opinion. The feel in my hands the Provari is much sweeter. I use them bothe with the one size battery, 18490. I worry alittle more about juice getting on the connection with the SVD due to the story of the gasket being a weak point so I plan to prevent a problem by being a little careful and I keep connections cleaned up fairly well. Just a little busy thing I do. I clean one then start checking others. I rotate several mods, then get several ready at one time type thing so the all get part time use. I have to admit the Provari, once I got used to the one button stuff has been easier for me to nderstand and remember how to use. I'm not very detail oriented and I'm forgetful. SVD is more complicated. The Provari actually does have a more consistent relationship with everything I use. About the money difference, well, that remains to be seen. If my Provari keeps working consistently for 3 x longer than the SVD then for sure it's worth it. It's worth a little more for the comfort in my hands and again a little more for ease of understanding. Again a little more for overall looks and again for just a little smaller which to me is a good thing. I think you should get several mods and obviously we all can't afford 3 Provaris. I also have a Vamo. Back ups to back ups and the special queen bee. And of course bottom feeders

thanks bad, didnt really answer my chip question but good info I hadn't stumbled upon. Like the topic says..yet. I do plan on getting one eventually...just wanted some info as to what I would expect differently from the vape experience side of things and not build quality.
I will share with you why I bought a Provari, and you can take or leave my thought process. First off, I am a brand new vaper, 3 weeks in. I did a ton of reading on these forums before I decided what I would invest in. Prior to ordering my Provari, all I had purchased was a cheapo little eGo ce4 kit from a local smoke shop. I bought it because I had made up my mind never to smoke another cigarette, and it was right down the street, and it was only $20 bucks.
While vaping on my little cheapie, I looked at all the possibilities. I was prepared to spend a fairly sizable chunk up front to get something great, because I knew I'd be saving so much once that initial expenditure was out of the way.
I looked at all the products in terms of function, aesthetics, and cost. I knew that I'd be vaping for many years to come, so I wanted something that would last. I read a lot of stories about the others breaking after a year or so, and I knew I didn't want to keep buying new stuff for $50 plus a pop - that would get really expensive over time.
So I picked the Provari. It gets consistently great reviews, looked nice, is well made (sturdy/built to last), and the company will replace it or fix it if something goes wrong. You're just not going to get that with the others. In the end, if you plan to use your PV for many years to come, it's actually cheaper to buy from a company that takes pride in standing behind their product and is accessible.

I cant get technical with you but the Provari has an 800 MHZ chipset and the SVD/Vamo has a 33 mhz chipset as far as sending the volts to your coils, so your getting a more constant signal. Im not explaining this very well, but rest assure that someone will get in here soon and finish explaining why this is a good thing.
The button on the Provari also does not "click" like most do....so it is not mechanical meaning it is not prone to "give out/wear out. Pretty cool actually.

What is it you don't like about your current gear that you think a ProVari will solve?
Well, I don't believe you will find exactly what you are looking for as far as an explanation. You can go look at the PBusardo review of the Provari vs other chipsets if you want bar graphs and waveform measurements. The Provari wins hands down in that regard. Does it make a better vape? That can't be measured, it is a subjective opinion.
Some people are convinced that the Provari provides a better vaping experience, others say they are too close to call. I could tell you that I can put all of my nine mods out on the table, and the likelihood that I will pick one of my two Provari's absentmindingly is extremely high. Maybe its only because they feel better in my hand, but I also like the feel of the Gripper box mods that I own too. Still, I'll grab one of the Provari's nine times out of ten.

I hear ya, sorry if I am asking the impossible question. Like I said, I am a gadget geek. I look at speeds, and gb's hz's etc for a living and am unfortunatly bringing it into my vaping since it seems to have gotten pretty advanced with chips, led screens etc.
Thanks everyone for your input.

In that case, get the Provari. Someone like you is bound to anyway, and it's highly unlikely you'll regret it.
I did. Vape quality. Doesn't really say a lot. A battery is only part of a delivery system. Generally they either work or don't. I would think tanks, or carto-tanks, or drip systems, etc. would make far more difference in vape quality, than a battery system.
I implore you to reconsider! Did that work? Are you convinced not to get one? Didn't work for me either...
IMHO you should get what makes you happy, like to use, keeps you from analogs, etc. I am not unfamiliar with the gadget/tech love either. The only cure is more and more, just don't be in to much of a hurry. I would love to have the time and money to get everything, but unfortunately I don't. I used my last mechanical mod for almost two years. It is almost in as good a shape as when I bought it which is a testament to it's build quality. Of course that quality cost a little more.

Lot of good my cry for help did. Ended up returning the vv 3.0 (really bad battery life) cancelling the SVD and ordered a provari 2.0 silver, battery, charger, ibtanked 19mm, 2 DC tanks, few pre punched cartos and a jwrap..maybe now I'll be satisfied.
Quick last question. If I like carto tanks better than my clearos, there any value in a week old protank, puritank and pack of extra heads? Don't really need 6 tanks laying in front of me.
