Provari for sure, but with evic you can do a lots of customizations. Also the Evic does not have that power to fire up high gauge coils, lets say coils that are made out of 26, 28 or 30 gauge. Here are some pictures. The only reason that I am still keeping my Evic, because I invested lots of money on it.




Omg they all look cool. How come you don't have the bod by Leo yet?!!!

I truly enjoy my eVic. Best $80.00 I've spent on vaping gear. Like it so much I bought a second head for $69.00 and 3 different sets of tube and end caps (chrome, brushed, black).

I use it with PT II, Aerotank, HyperTank, iClear30S, Smok DCT Carto, UniTank, etc... Run coils from 1.3 ohms to 3.0 ohms.

While I like the idea of VW I have found that it's not all it's supposed to be. Some tanks are great at 6.3 w while others are better at 10 w. Same with juices, some need more watts while others need less.

I can see myself buying a Provari at some point in the future just not anytime soon, my eVic keeps me happy.

I like it that with The eVic you don't have to take the battery out to charge, but instead can charge it via a plug-in usb cable just like a passthrough or a cellphone. So you can get by on just one replaceable battery; and you don't have to be worrying about whether you forgot to unplug your charger with lithium battery in it at home while you were rushing to work. :D It's also One of the very few APv's that does not use the 33hz chipset. Smoother power output.
It also Includes one of the better supplied Batteries
It also Has Available tube options which allow size/style changes
It Offers Variable output during Vape - something that many have advocated for and only available on eVic
And it Allows for monitoring of Volts, watts, ohms all onscreen at a glance - no menu surfing required. But perhaps the thing I find the most progressive about the Evic is the ability to update the firmware yourself. When my computer or cell phone needs or is eligible for an update I would hate to have to box it up and send it across the country in order to accomplish it...Online updating is already commonplace for other hightech electronics and I'm personally glad that Joyetech offers this and is leading the way.

The ability to update the firmware was one of the deciding factors for me. If you watch PBusardo's review of the eVic at firmware version 1.0 he had several dislikes, to Joyetech's credit they listened and fixed everyone with subsequent firmware releases. Got to love that they paid attention.

That's one of the reasons I really like (love?) Innokin products...They listened to people's feedback and fixed the things that bugged folks, Beauty ring, output switch,tough button press, etc.... thats very important to me...:)

The lowest ohms it can run is 1.2?

I have never gone below 1.3 ohms, but based on it's 2.5 amp limit 1.2 ohms would be the lowest it's designed to support. I think below that it would give a atty short error.

Try an ohm's law calculator, input 2.5 amps and 3 volts (eVic limits) it will give 1.2 ohms at 7.5 watts

Alright do I think I will be getting the provari but those DNA 30 make it so hard to choose -___-

Well, the Provari won't really do low sub-ohms either. I think the very lowest you can go is .9. I usually run around 1.1, 1.2 in the coils I build but don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. :)
