I watched a review a little review of the alpha, but I don't really know anything about it. Just my 10 second impression. I admit it looks really cool, and I love the design, but if you're just starting out, if you can I would say shell out the little extra bit for the provari. It's tried and true, and from owning one, I know it's reliable to boot. But the main reason I recommend it, is because the alpha max seems to use a unique juice delivery system (correct me if I'm wrong anymone), but the provari is 510 threaded. So if you're just starting out, 510 threading is one of the most popular styles of screwing the juice delivery system onto the battery. That means if you ever want to try one of the multitude of juice delivery systems, you won't be as limited, whereas with the ultramaxx, if you find you don't like that particular juice delivery system, your kinda outta luck...
I would say ask around more, cause I do think the ultramaxx looks very cool, just wouldn't recommend it for a first big mod

Apex Alpha Max...because the ProVari is going to limit you. You can't use dual coil cartomizers at HV's like they are intended to be used. My happiness is 6V with a dcc...ProVari won't let me do it. The Alpha Max is a good unit. Had one, sold it, but going to replace it shortly. I miss it.
Either one is good if you are a dripper.
The provari, however, will give you a constant voltage
throughout the charge of the battery.

The Provari limits amps like the Lavatube, so if you want to use DCC you need to get 2.5ohm not 1.5ohm. Then you can enjoy the HV with a Provari.
I saw my first Apex in action the other week. Very nice, built solid, but pricy. It is on my list of devices to buy, but it will be a while, as when I do I will get the complete kit and it's over $400.

And yes my Lavatube rocks, especially for the price!

ProVari is by far a great thing ... but if you don't want to spent that much - whats about a LT (Lavatube)?
cotyrider... you should also take a closer look at the Precise Plus 18650 from Supert-T, and put that on your short list... especially if you are an LR direct dripper...
I second the Lavatube, I've tried the provari and I own a lavatube. I'm not saying either is better. The lavatube had done everything I have wanted it to do and left me with more monies for other vaping goodies!
Ok the more I look the more I like the Apex Alpha Ultramax and The GGTS! The Provari has moved to the maybe I will own someday.

From the looks of it, the the Alpha comes in either 3.7 or 6V - on the Provari you can select a voltage between 3.3 and 6 Volts (2.9-6.0 on V2). I guess it comes down to personal preference and your vaping habits. If you like 1.5 ohm DCC at 6V go with the Alpha. If you use single coil cartos only, or if you don't plan on taking a 1.5 ohm DCC above 5V, go with the Provari V2. The V2 has a limit of 3.5 amps, so you could take a 1.5 ohm DCC up to 5.25V. Personally, I prefer VV for the ability to tune the voltage for pretty much any atty/carto.
EDIT: I was wrong on the amp limits of the Provari V2:

Some more details on the limits:
The new output limit (when you will get an E2) is 3.5 amps from 2.9 v to 4.2v. Above 4.2v the output limit is set to 14.5 watts. So above 4.2v each step has a little bit different current limit based on a power calculation. You will find that you can go much higher voltage with LR, but you won't be able to crank it all the way up to 6 volts with a LR..basically cooking the atty

I've owned both these mods.... And still own my provari.... While I loved my alpha ultramax, my provari is my favorite out of the 20 or so mods I've had at one time or another.
I use mine with a ce2 torpedo tank and its heaven...

GGTS is a very good mod but in high demand. As of now, its all sold out in stores and only way you'll get one is through the classified. But I think in about a month, they are supposed to have more. I would check with Bruce from Clouds of Vapor. Nice guy to deal with and he'll help you out any way possible.
Guess I will give Bruce a call! Thanks
