Not picking on anyone in particular as I hear it a lot, but what is everyone's fascination with Titanium? It's huge in the flashlight world as well. All the rarest of the rare lights are made of Titanium.
Now before everyone gets all bent out of shape, let me give a little background, I was a machinist for 13 years, I've machined a LOT of Titanium! In fact, when I walked away from it, I was burnt out because I got pigeon holed doing nothing but Titanium on 5 axis CNC mills. It got old!
It's a neat material, but does oxidize and really isn't that much lighter, in something this size, than SS and SS will hold up better as well as conduct better.
Anyway, just curious.
OK, back to the dream of what "if".
They should add the telescopic portion of the "Twins" extension to the body, then you can run 18650-18350, 17670's, and with an insert, slide in a 14500. One mod, about all the batteries you could want or have already! Just unscrew the bottom cap, unscrew the bottom part of the body for the length you want and go! Now that, to me, would be a nice revelation!
You guys want Titanium? Fine then, but lets do it right, OK? Lets use some Moku-Ti! Moku-Ti
Not sure about the LED screen, it really does work well for me. I don't need much more information than what I'm given. I guess turn it and make it two lines to appease?
it's pretty and it's exotic. A lot of people think it to be stronger and lighter than SS. I did as well from some basic amateur work with titanium (weaved a chainmail out of it). I would defer to opinion of a machinist though.
I would imagine, one of the subconcious reasons for that is that it's extremely unlikely to see anything made out of titanium to come out of the commonly hated chinese market.

In a nut shelled simplistic way, Titanium is roughly 1.5 times the weight of Aluminum, and 1.5 times the strength of steel. You can break it down further, but really, that's a basic way to understand it. So yes, it is lighter than SS, but when you are making something this size the weight difference will be marginal. Depending on the grade of SS, it can be harder, or softer, so basically about the same strength then.
And yes, it is very pretty, until you've shoveled enough chips off the floor to fill a 20 cubic yard dumpster every day for a month! The best one I saw! I came in one morning and the foreman was kneeling in front of a pallet of Titanium blocks the had been ordered for Cessna, he was all but in tears and asked me to see if I could find a way to make them work. It wasn't happening! The planner had ordered them cut to the finished dimensions on the print, we had at best, .020" on each side to clean them up! That was a $60k mistake!
Ss and titanium is a junk ill go get an invisible steel where everyone will see its transparent but made of wolverines blades

Here's something to make you feel better. Roughly 40k rings, weaved and closed by hand (well, with pliers). Much slower going than the regularly used galvanized steel (which did not require pliers after you get used to it)
To summarize altron3030, I don't think anyone is really interested in directly answering your question. There are 17 pages of some same-ol folks fighting and that's about what I expected.
I don't think anyone can really theorize what the company may do. It seems they may have mentioned making a tank but if it turns out like the pass-thru I'm not sure how well it might sell.
Maybe someone with a better history of the releases can correct my statements below but this is generally what I'm aware of:
Provape had non-variable devices in the market. (still does I think)
They came out with the Provari version 1 with variable voltage.
A few months later they came out with the Provari v2 which updated the amp limit.
A few months later they came out with the Provari v2.5 which was a cosmetic update.
I have no idea how all of the other posts/debate in this thread goes to you post but be careful out there!
Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow, so they'll prolly be doing an upgrade in about a week or so...
If theres an upgrade ull just have to pay $20 so no worries...but I doubt there will be in a week
...congrats on the purchase u will love it!sent from mars
what provape needs is a
1) a fancy looking mech mod
2) a telescoping provari or a telescoping end cap for the mini

Wow, back to work on 12hr shifts. Blink and miss a ton of fun. Oh well, back in a few days.
My first convert just got himself a Provari mini. Nice little unit and I'm happy for him. He also likes my eVic.......... Didn't want to upset him and tell him he is supposed to talk down about anything not Provari now that he has one.
We have a very diverse little group of Vapers at work now. From cig-a-likes to Provari's and all in between. Most fun is watching people looking to see what I'm using at any given time. I like to change up and keep them interested. We went from me to 9 people in under 3 months.

That's a bare assumption based on previous upgrade paths. If they change the entire design or add VW, I really don't think they'll say to themselves "well, we'll take a loss on it but we have to upgrade everyone for $20 or the forum people will be ......".

That's less smokers, which is always a good thing. Wish I could convert the guys around my shop but vaping just isn't big up here and it's difficult getting them to even be interested.
And I'm still waiting for my Provari with puff counter.
