I'll be writing a more detailed review later. My Provari arrived today, and I've had about 2 hours of vaping time with it. Also worth mentioning my main PV up until now has been a Provape 1, this is a 3.7v device and I'll be offering some comparisons.
Observation 1: Don't expect fancy packaging or a printed instruction manual. I was relieved about this. The instruction manual for the device is located online in .pdf form, and it is comprehensive enough to answer every question you might have. The Provari came bubble wrapped, and the box was solid. Unit arrived in perfect condition.
As with my Provape, I immediately noticed the build quality of the Provari is once again outstanding. It looks durable, but I would still treat it with respect.
It is a bigger unit than the Provape, to my amazement though, not much weight difference. Size feels right for an up to 6v device.
Button seems a little easier to press than the Provape, and you get a red LED on the switch. I might turn off the LED. I don't need visual confirmation I'm taking a puff, not with this type of voltage
Ok cosmetics out of the way, lets move on to the important stuff.
LR Bauways : You're going to need to keep your voltage low for these puppies. 3.7v on the Provari is real 3.7v, so it feels stronger than with the Provape. Don't even think about raising the voltage higher, no need to 3.7v is the sweet spot.
LR Cisco 306 : Same thing, lower voltage and you can expect the battery to last you all day.
For both these LR's I tried raising the voltage, but anything above 4.4v's and its too high. You won't blow the atty, but the device warns you on the LED with an E1 message, besides this, the safety kicks in, and saves the atty. I can't say how impressed I am with this.
Regular atties :
Sorry I only have Hello 510s on hand, not my favorite brand of atty.
Tried at 5v. They give amazing vapor and more importantly taste. I know regular resistance Ciscos or Bauways are going to give a near perfect vape at around 5v.
Obviously I need time to determine what is the difference between 5v regulars or 3.7v lr's, but what I can say is I'm getting better flavor at 5v. For this alone it seems worthwhile to get into higher voltages.
Next thing is Dry burning. So I wouldn't use the Provari to dry burn. In my experience, a pass through is the way to go. The Provari has safety features which seem to prevent dry burning. Someone else claimed he can dry burn at 5v. My experience is I CAN"T. I tried, but it kept shutting off.
Its not a huge deal breaker. I'm just saying don't look at it as a 5v dry burner, it isn't. Get a PT for this.
Finally omhs testing, you can use the device to test ohms for your atties, excellent little feature. Works well too.
Overall really happy with my purchase. I would recommend the device to anyone wanting to get into higher voltage.
Have any questions you can ask Happy vaping!
