Provape Provari is not just Hype it's Unbelievable.!

cw007, you will have to learn how to drip! I mean to encourage, because imo those who only use cartos, the majority anyway, are those that didn't stick with it and really learn the "art dripping". I am pretty jaded and somewhat cocky about it, but dripping is something that takes experience and time.
Dalton has given you some of the basics.
Next, take what you learn from the carto ratio's of resistance to voltage, and always start a little lower in voltage. An LR coil will pop from too much, and finding that "sweet spot" is all about how a certain juice will react to a certain voltage, given a particular resistance.... that is a bunch or wordage, and it is really simple, but true.
PG/VG ratio is a personal preference, but know that more VG requires less heat to vaporize, and while PG can take and often needs more voltage/watts to resistance, it tends to carry more flavor. VG provides more vapor.
Ultimately vapor production and flavor are the goal... and dripping has done that more than any other method, and thus is worth the sometimes very frustrating effort (flooding, burning, leaking, messy etc).

If you get serious about it, get a Pyrex d/t... they are heads and shoulders above any other d/t in desired function.

I hear Iken's new 510's are super; and you could start with a 2.0 which is still LR, that will give you more range. They are worth the extra dollar imo.
You must try the SR atty because the Vari is made for it; it has the most range of any for the Vari's voltage spectrum.
510 SR is anywhere from 2.2 (joye) to 3.0 Ohm.
My preference is the 901 SR 3.0.

Some love the warmth and full vape of the HV (3.5 and up) at higher voltage of course.

With a brand new 510 atty I usually put 6 drips in(although it may flood some atties) and then 3 drips at a time after that.

Also if you don't get ikenvape atties, most come with a primer fluid. For those I blow through the drip tip end, expelling the fluid out through the threaded end into a paper towel. Then I put 6 drops in it and blow it out again to get the remaining primer out. Then 3 drops at a time as normal.

To the OP: Great review!

Comment about safety features:

The safety features actually work. I had one of my tank attys short while driving cross country and the Provari threw an error. Since I had read the manual, I knew the error meant that there was an over current situation. So I checked the atty resistance and sure as heck the atty had shorted.

Pulled over to a rest stop, flip on a new atty, and drove away vaping.

The reason this was so wonderful is that if the atty had shorted on an eGo battery or one of my 18650 mods- it could have killed the battery as well. Then there would be that time spent changing parts out to determine where the fault was (atty? battery? Mod?).

But the Provari just told me what had failed.

What sounded like window dressing at purchase turned into not only a time saver, but the saving of a battery. I was impressed.

Great thanks for the info Dalton and Ukeman. Going to get some attys here on my next order. I will let you all know how goes. Thanks

CW, I suggest that tanks are a good way to go... not that dripping is not, but lately having tried them, i must say that they are better than plain carto vaping.
You see, the tanks that use carto inside, keep the carto wet and just the right amount of juice in the carto.. if you know about carto's those are the problem areas which make imo, straight carto vaping not a good choice. (not to mention burning filler material)
Dripping will get you the best flavor and especially with a PV like Provari where the regulated voltage is consistent always as the batt voltage diminishes.
But if you don't want to drip all the time, tanks are a good way to go.
I have my first tank set up, and a couple others that i haven't tried yet, but this Liquinator was so easy to setup and works as described. They even sell the cut carto's.
I have a couple Depth Chargers that i haven't got the right carto's for yet.

Great thanks for the info Dalton and Ukeman. Going to get some attys here on my next order. I will let you all know how goes. Thanks

 

[cw007]

Thanks Ukeman and everyone else for all the info. Actually Ukeman I have been rotating 3 tanks at the moment and love them. Flavor is really good. Got my tanks 2 weeks ago and havent used anything else that I order before like the egos and the gogo. Yes the liquinator is rite on and there customer support is awesome too real nice ppl. Just was thinking about getting an atty to sample flavors but mite hold off a little on that one. The tanks+Provari have made it to where I have no urge really ever for a real cig. 11 days and counting LoL

 

[ukeman]

there you go... how things have changed in just one year... to think that a newb would pick up a provari and some tanks and away they go...
very interesting... yet the fact remains that good dripping; done right, is still the ideal vape. haha
You;ve got it right: no smoking; done.
But right again; tasting new flavors will be almost impossible with tanks alone.
If you become a confirmed vape head, you will drip.

kewl kewl.... yea I use atty's for one purpose and only one...to test new flavors. I don't like dripping every dozen seconds at all, and I sure as hell will not drip and drive, that's as bad as all the jerks driving and talking/texting on their cell phones....99.999% of all people on this planet can't walk and chew bubblegum, or have a conversation with the person next to 'em.. driving and cells or 'dripping'? Forgedaboudit.....they're an accident waiting to happen... I'm extremely partial to dual coil carto's. single coils? i've yet to find a single manufacturer that makes one where i haven't burned filler when vaping, you can still have it saturated, and yet still burn the filler every other draw. CE's? same problem, or they leak all over the place, sorry I don't like em......dual coils? I've yet to 'burn' any filler using em, and i do a lot of chain vaping. for me, the 1.5's and 2 ohm dc's both put out extremely good vapor, TH and flavor....i've seen some new 3 ohm dc's out there recently but haven't ordered a couple to try em out. either i'm drawing my 1.5's at 3.8v, or 2's at 4.5 and quite satisfied... BUT, for an all day vape experience, i've been using my new VPX tanks with my dc carto's.. my 2.5ml version currently has a 1.5 ohm DC, my 5.5ml unit has a 2ohm inside.... regardless my opinions, to each his/her own.. each person is going to have their own personal preference... variety is the spice of life, so you'll end up trying a few different things anyways, and chose your own favorites... I'll never say what i think is crap (unless i think it's total junk), just what I prefer to use...just keep on vaping... its almost been a year for me w/o analogs and still think i'm a newb, especially when it comes to mods, yet at this time, I own 3 (rougstack v2, e-power 18650, my provari) and a 4th on its way (glv-3 mini).... my black chrome provari is my favorite, and will be extremely hard to beat, and yet i still see another one, probably a satin finish version, coming in the future too

right on Shaitaan.... i'll bet those that drip and drive are the ones that call things crap.
you just helped me realize how stupid that is...

Yea I would never stayed vapeing if I didn't find ECF I was spending money on stuff that was overpriced didn't work well leaked still had me craving cigs like a mad man. Then when I came on here got a kr-808 kit really liked it I was using the 510-t tanks before that. Then The provari which is awesome mod in my opinion then came the tanks lol. Still want to eventually try dripping and maybe a few more mods and maybe another provari. Thanks all

 

[ukeman]

you are pretty astute to go right for the best...
i never stuck with one pv or actually kept one pv until i got the Provari.
i went through all the bottom feeders thinking they were "it" until the vari came out.
now there are other regulated vv's but the vari is the standard imo...
i have a couple of the others too.
if you need tips on dripping just start another thread and let ecf know.

LOL I know what that's like. I started with a cheapo e-cig from the Tobacco shop. The brand name was Pure Smoke(not PureSmoker). It lasted all of 3 days and was awful, like vaping dank fog. Then I found this forum, and I went with a Vapor4Life kit. It was good but battery life sucked, so I did the homemade mod thing for a couple months till I saved up for a Provari.

 

[cw007]

Dalton that was my issue to paid 120 dollars it was some 380mah battery with the 510-t tank knockoff and was terrible. And theres a guy at our local mall selling the same thing with different name for 249$ my jaw dropped lol. But I think I am going to get some attys from ikenvape at the first of the month I will let u all how it goes thanks.

Been stalking this thread and ended up ordering one! Very excited to check it out. Main question I have, anyone here using a protected Trustfire 2400 mah 18650? Are there any clearance issues fitting one of these batts? I have a stash of them here, as well as a couple slightly shorter blue 3000 mah 18650's I got in a 510-N kit.

After reading everyone's comments about the Provari, I decided to get one instead of trying every other PV on the market spending countless amounts of cash. Let's just say the mailman will be on my radar over the next couple of days...

 

[ukeman]

I think they may be a bit too long... check out the specs on the IMR 1600 mah; that fits the extended cap.
The P18650 AW 2200 was a tad long too, but may be best bet as it can be used with leaving a couple threads unclosed.
Notice the 2500 Provari Power uses a space ring...

Here's the scoop: you have decided to get the best PV on the market... don't skimp on the batts; sell em. Get the best; AW ...better yet get the Provari Power.

Thanks for this info! I ordered that spacer ring also. Out of curiousity I used a caliper and measured the Trustfire 18650, it came to within .1 mm of the measurement specs as the Provari Power 2500. Glad I ordered the spacer!

I'll likely end up ordering several of those 2500's either way to check them out.

Also, after checking out a few youtube vid's on the Chrome Provari, I'm pretty impressed with how incredible these PV's are just by their looks alone. Major bling factor applies!

 

[Dalton63841]

Not sure if you knew, but if you ordered the extension cap, it comes with the spacer ring. The put the spacer ring by itself on the website for people who already own one with the extension cap, but don't have the spacer ring.

The Trustfires will fit just fine with the spacer ring also, but the Provape Power batteries are definitely something to invest in.

and dont forget the fact that Flat Tops are a liability issue.... see earlier posts on that.

Just want to add an additional comment about batteries.

For a long time all I did was go for Trustfire flame jacketed batts... and they were fine in my mods. However, if you have some of those hanging around... vape them straight up in a tube mod against an IMR battery. There is a noticeable difference- especially over the full run of the batteries.

After having vaped AW batteries for a while now, I've come to the conclusion that while they may not be the only "great e-cig battery" on the market- they certainly out perform anything I've tried.

Since the Provari requires high current availability to boost voltage- it follows that the AW batteries are probably the best choice for the job (as Provape states).

So I'm an admitted AW battery and Provari fanboi.

 

[Ay Dee Jay]

I've had my provari for a few months now and am finding zero negatives so far. I don't really use anything else at this point, so I've been gifting friends with egos, passthroughs, standard 510s, etc I've dropped it on concrete more than once absentmindedly and the scratches aren't noticeable yet. I'm mostly a Boge carto user running 2 ohm at 4.1v typically. I break out the LR 306 atomizers to drip on here and there though it's been a long time. One indicator of overall long saught satisfaction is how little I read ECF anymore. I spent countless hours here and enjoy the community but after a long search and lots of wasted money I'm pretty much content and the PV has become less of an obsession and more of a utensil at this point.

Just ordered a ProVari. I ordered 2 batts, a pack of their recommended cartos, the extension cap and a tube of the thread grease. They are out of stock on the black batts. I'll order those later I guess. Sure hope this thing is worthy! My wife's gonna kill me!!!
