Provar IMR AW batteries

[Beretta]

I have the Provari recommended IMR AW batteries (18490), and I'm astonished I haven't had to recharge mine yet. I've used it since yesterday night, and the voltage battery check shows 3.6volts left in the battery. I've read on Provari's website that Provaris are 95% efficient on battery usage. Whereas other mods are like 50%. Is this true or did I misread?

I'm just getting incredible life out of these batteries.

I also don't have to inhale a vape for 10 seconds to get a good hit. The Provari (combined with the Kanger T3s I have) seem to immediately put out plumes of vapor. I inhale for 3 - 4 seconds, and that's about all I need.

Has anyone else experienced this upgrading from other ecigs or APVs?

I am glad you found what works for you. If you have a favorite liquid or two the battle is won

Yeah, I have found two I like really well. Sorry, I know I probably sound like a fanboy, and am probably becoming one. This has been such an amazing upgrade for me. Sorry everyone. I'll shut up about it now.

Your enthusiasm for the Provari is typical. It likely is the rationale of the "fanboy" monickor that many non-Provari owners give us when we proudly spout the attributes of it when the topic invariably comes up about comparing the Provari vs ______ mod.

Unless you have owned one, you couldn't understand.

I am a fan girl so no problems there LOL. The Provari is my end all be all.

 

[Beretta]

Please do shut up unless you can send me one to test out.
I'm still not getting what's so special...

That was uncalled for sir. It's been explained to you already, so if you don't know by now, Provari is just not for you. We're not going to brainwash you into getting one. Whatever works for you is what will be.

This is a Provari subforum for Provari enthusiasts. Provari owners KNOW why they are so great after they own one.

What he said.

Can anyone answer my original question about the battery efficiency rating of 95% in the Provari versus other mods?

 

[Beretta]

AWs are very efficient, I have used them many times.
I find that that is correct!

I think you misread my post, which was about the 95% efficiency rating of the Provari. I did not ask a question about the AW batteries. If you put them in a less efficient APV, they won't last as long.

I don't know how efficient the ProVari is but I don't notice any better battery life than what I used to get from my LavaTube with the same size batteries.

I've done quite a bit of reading about Provape and the Provari, and I can't recall seeing information about battery efficiency.


Two of my favorite pieces of information are included in the following links:

I've heard the bit about the Provari being 95% efficient, but never have I seen literature.

Also have never heard of 50% efficiency on other mods. That seems staggering low.

Here it is, right from Provape.com:

The ProVari uses a special circuit called a Boost Circuit. This technology has been around for many years and is very reliable. This same technology is also used in the new hybrid electric Toyota Prius™ vehicles.

The boost circuit is capable of increasing the voltage from 3.7 to a higher setting of your choice and it does it very efficiently.

Most variable voltage devices on the market use a linear regulator which are only about 50% efficient. The ProVari is 95% efficient. This means longer run times and on a single battery. Single battery devices are the safest you can own!

I really doubt that 50% figure, if it were true these other mods would be getting very hot while in use. I think thry may have been suggesting the other mods were 50% less efficient than a ProVari which would put them at 75-80% which is more believable.

Scroll up and read the quote above from Provari's website. They are talking about the mods that use linear regulators.

 

[Buzzsaw46]

I just saw that after I posted. I think that is old info a linear regulator is normally used to drop voltage. like if you were stacking two cells and wanted to vape at 5v rather than 7.4. A linear regulator will dump the extra voltage as heat, PWM uses duty cycle to regulate the voltage, some heat is still produced in the switching but not nearly as much as a linear regulator.
