Provape/Evolv rumors

[sandboa]

I'm sure I'm not the only person that has heard the rumor of Provape and Evolv working on a project together. Suspected to be either the Provari 3.0 or the dna 30 or both. Provari put this rumor to bed this morning. When confronted about it on Provape's FB page, they had this to say:

"People often like to start rumors. To set things straight, ProVape does not have any projects with Evolv. We have never contacted them and they have never contacted us. We think they make some cool products, but we have never worked with them."

Figured I would share.

that's sad tho ... I think that intercourse would produce a pretty awesome baby

This info is not surprising to me. I was certain the rumor was a pipe dream created by someone hoping that the idea would catch some interest by either Provape or Evolv and get the ball rolling on a colaboration effort. At least now we know the truth and the rumors about this can be laid to rest.

Fat chance of that Bad... this is after all still the Internet, where endless speculations live and breed.

I've said time after time, Provape has never given any indication that they are interested in adding variable wattage to the Provari. Provape continues to sell Provari's as fast as they can make them, so not offering VW is not hurting their sales one bit. They seem to be quite happy with the basic design of the Provari as is, and since many Provari owners have more than one, they must be happy with them too. Based on how many new owners are buying new Provari's solely on the recommendations of current owners, Provari's will be popular "as is" for quite some time. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If variable wattage is a game changer for you in the choice of a new mod, then a Provari is not for you.

Did you notice the 'New Color' announcement in ProVape's forum? It went straight to VW talk & pretty much ignored the actual announcement. I gotta imagine there's some funny pics hanging up around ProVape's office.

ProVape have more than enough expertise to develop their own proprietary system to rival the DNA 20 and they're not going to want any future mod they make to have to compete with a number of other mods that all perform identically.

If and when we see a ProVari 3, it'll have whatever functionality ProVape considers important/game-changing to their customers - pbusado mentioned that it's not going to take much for him to move on from DNA 20 since it lacks in the low end, doesn't have reverse battery protection and is a little sloppy in some areas based on the mod it's been fitted to.

Besides, it's not like the ProVari isn't selling - we see new owners on here every day!

 

[Thrasher]

Actually if it was just a blind rumor it could be understand but it was started by Vapor Joe so you know many will believe it and spread it around. so far he has posted a couple evolv rumors other people deny knowing anything about.

And i agree wht busardo, the dna isnt all that unless high power is your only focus, i would never recommend it for the average VW/VV users. I wasnt impressed and sold mine. ( i am actually more impressed with the simple Kick2)

 

[magman007]

If people wanted a provari with Dna 20 couldn't it be done fairly easily? It seems like the board would fit in the tube...

The speculations continue.... but then there wasn't any doubt they would.

OK, my turn. ProVape is not getting into the VW game. That works for me.

 

[burtonsnowww]

it already has been done, Futura mod.

I don't exactly know what the big deal about vw is. I have two other devices, the SID and VMax Mini, which both have vw and I have played around with them of course but always go back to my vv Provari Minis. Everyone has there preferences of course but I honestly don't need anything more than what Provari offers me. Especially since my last vape on a battery is exactly the same as my first. Can't really ask for more really.

Provape did say:

" You never know what our development team will come up with next. I know they are working long hours to come up with some cool new technology but they tell me they won’t release anything until its perfect. Until then, we have the ProVari to enjoy."

This does lead people to think there is going to be a v3 with new features in the somewhat near future (as long as this statement was not exaggerated). I am hopeful, but not holding my breathe.

I can understand the advantage of VW. It actually makes more sense than VV. Since so many are already used to VV, they tend to understand and prefer it. Sorta like SAE and the metric system. The metric system makes more sense and is much easier to use, but we Americans understand and are used to the standard system, so we prefer it.

The DNA 20 board is about an inch longer. Every DNA20 tube mod I have seen is an inch longer, for the battery size, than the Provari.
The DNA20 display is a different size and shape. So it wont fit in the Provari window either.

I guess someone could fit a DNA20 board into a standard Provari, the display window would be a problem, as the Provari window is far too wide, and too short for the DNA20 display.
Gotta drill some holes for the 2 extra buttons.

Franken Mod.

Why would anyone bother?

IF Provape came out with a VW, it would be a tank like the Provari... which means given the challenges of repairing a more expensive board, a price point of like $400. They can keep the VW. Further, I suspect that many of the people who come over here to heckle about the COST of a Provari, wouldn't spend more than the price of a Provari either.

And if you look up Futura, as pointed out... it IS a Provari with a VW chip, and barely more money. But... I saw absolutely nothing about repairs or warranty... AND... if it's as breakable as the other VW systems out there (my 134 comes to mind... which at retail is the same price as the Provari), you are SOL, just as you are with the 134.... making them cost FAR more than a Provari in the long run (but of course, the MVP2 costs far more than the Provari in the long run too).

I like them all, but I'm not spending MORE than a Provari for something that doesn't do anything DIFFERENT from a Provari. It's a battery. I want it to work consistently and last forever. That's all I care about for a battery.

When I want fancy features for a battery is the day I will run out and buy a flashlight that flashes lights like the Bellagio fountain to the beat of the music.

That said, if the battery LOOKS different, I might consider buying it. Like... if Provari came out with a BOX mod where you can hide your juice in it, I'd buy that.

Well put. I have a few VW mods (and a ProVari) and I follow the same routine whether I'm adjusting voltage or wattage.

Attach device, ensure mod is set to minimum. Vape. Bump up to suit taste.

I don't care what the numbers are when it's in my hand, I just care that it provides a good, consistent vape.

I'm sure that Provape will be coming out with a V3 when they're good and ready, and when the V3 has been thoroughly tested to ensure it meets the high standards set by it predecessors. Speculation about what the V3 will be is irrelevant beyond the fact that it will be a solid, quality device.

the few people making DNA based tubes say it is a b**ch to get into a tube because of the buttons, this is why so many of them are box mods.

it already has been done, Futura mod.

not even close, while he futura was a nice mod, it will take a big redesign and a few revisions to come anywhere near a provari where build is concerned, my main complaint was the "open" unprotected screen window and the unsealed 510 connector.
FWIW the futura comes with 1 year also but case in point people are already needing it for flooded boards from the 510 leaking.

i would prefer provape make an inline top cap with airflow channels and adjustable 510 before a vw lol

 

[glassgal]

Thrasher, what's an 'inline top cap'?

And what do you mean by 'adjustable 510'? Like one that can screw up or down to adjust the height for the neck of the atomizer? Wouldn't that leak or trap juice so it would get really gummy and hard to clean out?

I'd like a square top and a native teardrop 18650 in metallic colors... or a box mod.

 

[Thrasher]

inline or straight cap no more slant. i really dont see why we need aftermarket products to get a streamlined look anymore.

and an adjustable 510 pin inside the cap, either atty's sit too tall leaving a gap or some i have dont make connection. in many cases adding provari rings makes it worse.

i have many mods now with adjustable 510 and they dont leak unless absolutely saturated for a long time, if you have that much juice inside the 510 all the time you got bigger problems to worry about besides it getting in the mod.

i still think the provari is a good mod but compared to many of my other ones more and more im finding the external features lacking.

 

[Bad Ninja]

Lack of VW stopped me from buying a Provari.
VW allows more fine tuning IMHO.


Also

You guys throw around the phrase "Game Changer" too much.
It loses any meaning on these forums.

Last "Game Changer" I saw was a 26xxx mod.

Vv/VW mods with simple aesthetic differences are far from Game Changers.
