Provari or mechanical mod? K100?

[Technonut]

I took the OP's post as asking ProVari owners who also own mechanicals for their opinion since many of us have and use both.. Perhaps I was mistaken.. Mechs have their place in my collection, but I must admit I have been using them less and less.

This is 2013... Back when I started vaping 3 years ago, many of us wanted to be rid of the mechs. When VV devices, and the safety features they offered appeared, they were well received. The sub-ohm craze has brought the mechs back, and with it, many posts of folks pushing batteries beyond their rated limit, and engaging in very unsafe activity.

Yes, the REO mechanicals are good devices.. Being bottom-feeders of high quality constructon places them into a class of their own. They still will suffer voltage drop-off like any other mech though, and can be pushed into unsafe service by folks who want to. The VV Grand has some issues of it's own, which I won't get into right now.

Personally, I am enjoying vaping at my chosen limit of 1.0 ohm with the safety features, accuracy, consistent voltage regulation, and high quality the ProVari offers.

Oh yeah... Not to leave out the fact that the ProVari has a good warranty when purchased new, and can even be sent back for repairs and upgrades here in the USA for a nominal cost after the warranty expires.. Even if one is not the original owner..

Stay on topic guys...Discussion about the subject at hand is fine as long as you stay to the subject and not target each other personally.

Thanks

to be a bit more in depth, i have owned every gg mod (i built both COV and Imeo's site), i have owned a reo (i built a iteration of REO's site), I have owned a TON of mechanical mods. they all have their strengths and weaknesses, main weakness is not being VV lol.

having a solid VV mod means you can use literally any atomizer and have a good time vaping. and the solidest (is that is a word? ) is the provari IMHO.

i got mine via a trade, it is the OG provari 1 with the textured black finish, reg cap and extended cap. i used it for a long time and after being dropped a bunch and scraped up (Still working fine) i sent it to chopper and he stripped and shined it for me, so it is chrome now, and i still use it over a year later just fine.

i use it pretty much exclusively now with a kanger protank cause i love these tanks and they work, and i get replacement heads for them and dont have to fiddle with making wicks and all that. when i order atties (from a friend) i tell him to send me what he has extra stock in, ohm doesnt matter, cause i have a provari.

full disclosure. in the last few days my provari has started to act funky with firing sometimes, this is the first real issue i have ever had with it. i think i will be sending it in to provape to get updated and cleaned up, if they still do that.

I am waiting for my mech to arrive. For me the mech is going to be used for dripping at home. Provari with carto tanks for on the go.

I'm a mech poser. I love the look of mechs but hate unregulated vaping. I use Crowns and Kicks in all my mechs. Just got a Kick2 from RTD in the mail today, they will definitely be replacing my Kick1s and Crowns.

all this mech talk yesterday had me wanting to try some old stuff. i dug out my GG slim and vmod and slapped them together with some cartos, good vapes

also i noalox'd my provari, no more firing issues!

Just got a Kick2 from RTD in the mail today...
