So I got sucked into the Provari stigma. Here is what my experience has been in the last week. Looking forward to the Provape sales reps to chime in (we all know who you are).

PU - PD (Voltage)
Maybe. Not being an electrical engineer I can't say how accurate the device is.

CB
Check the battery. For me this time it measures 3.9 at first, then on same screen drops to 3.8 then 3.6. Which is it? Then check after that before any hits it measures 3.5, ...

Ohms
VERY IMPORTANT. Ohms checked in at 1.9 then climbed up to 2.1, same screen. Checked again it was 2.0 and climbed to 2.2 same screen.

It is a solid device, and if your likely to drop it and not care how accurate the most important data it outputs is, buy it. For me, waste of money and it now takes a back seat to my other very inexpensive mods. Provari Fail!​

How about instead of throwing a tantrum, and calling people "Provari sales reps", you try to approach the situation calmly and like an adult.

The situation described above happens all the time?

Are you having weird readings on different batteries? How about fluctuating ohms rating on different delivery devices? You do realize that the ohms of a coil can change slightly naturally with use?

Have you actually attempted to contact Provape, or did you just immediately run here to scream that the Provari is junk?

If your unit truly has an issue, i'm sure Provape will happily take care of it.

Take a deep breath and quit attacking the very people who are here to help you.

*EDIT* And NO, i don't own a Provari....

Yep. Newbs wouldn't know to check the Provari forum.

Ok, then.Ummm, really I think even the newbies are a bit smarter than that, assuming they have the needed posts to view other threads.

Meanwhile, I might just contact ProVape's customer service to get your "issue" addressed. The readout always does that, but I do not technically know why. A multimeter would help confirm the reading are correct, however.

Noobs to vaping doesn't mean noobs to forums and the Internet. I'm sure there are plenty of vape noobs here who know how to look in other sub forums. If you really wanted to influence what someone new to vaping buys, insulting their intelligence isn't going to do it. Also, DID you try to call Provape regarding the issues? I don't own a Provari, nor do I have the kind of money to lay out for one, and I'm happy with my MVP 2, but something tells me a phone call or email to them would help you out far better then being here.

hey OP just wondering, you related to a guy name Good news? lol

I'm a newb and I know what he is about....lol

I am looking at the Provari quite seriously. I went to a Provape/Provari B&M last night to put my hands on one. They were actually closed by a few minutes and let me in to talk shop. There was a guy in there that said that he liked them so much that he had 4....he come over and pulled out his collection in a brief case thingy (which was interesting) and gave all the good talk about them...yada yada and long story short he said they are not perfect, they are what they say they are and are a solid unit with the least amount of issues for a high priced unit. He bounced one off a concrete pool deck into the water...showed me the small dent....and said he used a hair dryer to dry it out and has worked flawlessly ever since.

A tenth of a volt or ohm is not a game changer in my mind. Your opinion may vary obviously.:rolleyes:

Age of battery is important, as is length of time being used in said device and constantly using the batteries charge to scroll through the menu.

Type of juice and coil build (resistance) has an important role along with the batteries output on the ohms. Fluctuations and all do play a roll.

So many variables come into play………….
