While most of the Chinese mods are at 33.3 Hz (rattlesnake/subwoofer frequency) and the Provari at 800 Hz (about the typical Morse Code audio frequency), pbusardo found the eVic to be 104.9 KILOhertz (104,900 Hz), a bit over a typical 96 kHz audio sampling frequency. Nothing implied here... just FWIW.

Good to know, tks
To be honest and not disputing his findings but I do find some of his reviews go off on a tangent at times, but he's a cool guy and very funny. Vape On. 
Oh Ocelot. I thought you knew about thumbnail links. Works like an "old folks display".
I might be more confused than I was when I started the thread LOL,,,,,,,
actually, I think I need one of each to be honest.

I say this if you are trying to fig out between the two you will get one and in a few monthes get the other as most do so get both have a vape and love it !
Edit: Appears I'm mistaken on the Provaris ability to go below 1.2 ohm. Please disregard the following, tho I'll leave it as is.

If you don't plan to go below the operating range of a VV mod (>1.2ohm), you will get just as good, if not better vaping experience with one of those. Be it Provari or not. Besides the ability to go below 1.2ohm, what you sacrifice is size. Mechanical mods are usually much shorter than their electronic siblings.

Where do you get the 1.2 ohms figure? My ProVari 2.5 runs a dual-coil Hercules @ 1.0 ohm all the way up to 3.8v... The Sigelei ZMax I had wouldn't run a single-coil below 1.3 ohms..
I'm apparently mistaken then. It was my understanding and (limited) experience that none of the VV mods would fire at 1.1 ohm or lower. You're saying the Provari won't stop firing at any ohms as long as you don't cross its upper watt limit? I do realize these are very much related, but that's another discussion.
I don't run below 1.0 ohm, so I really don't know.. I would assume so.
That's what impresses me about ProVape.. They actually underate their boost circuit, not overate like other regulated mods out there..

okay...
there seems to be a bit of mis-information here, how about we talk about products that we have ACTUALLY owned.
as a heavy veteran vaper, i'll talk about my experience with what i have owned, while also chiming in with points made in this thread.
My Provari V2
yes i have been able to get it to fire a 0.8 ohm coil... i dont do it becuase the VV aspect of the mod becomes useless.
running low ohm atties/tanks reduces the voltage range and you dont get the most out of your mod.
it was once my work horse, but how it sits on my desk and is for home/cottage use.
too long to carry around with the Z-AttyPro that is perched on it.
Having used other VV devices... i wouldnt trade in my ProVari for 10 Vamo's, If you can afford it get one, or save your pennies for one.
the kick is a convenient little chip, but it still has a long way to go to get the same power and reliability. I am still impressed considering its form factor.
Mech Mod (caravela & Precise+(x3) with a few clones in between...)
let people say what the want, a quality made robust mech mod, will always outlast and outperform a cheap china clone.
i get through 3/4 of the day on an 18650 without much noticeable voltage drop. it doesnt bother me and is not the end of the world.
most of the hate is from keyboard warriors, and VV fanatics.
No one hates you, but your weekend of mech use wont make you an expert.
as stated before, a Kick isnt the cure-all for mech users trying to get into VW/VV, but due to its size there are limitations that keep it from being an amazing add-on.
Reo (WoodVil 18650)
loved it! but it was just too damn big.
taste of a dripper with the convenience of a tank, and a large enough battery for most.
even with an 18650 and 6ml, i still needed extra vape gear to carry around for the whole day. So i opted for something smaller and keep my supplies in the glove-box.
I still regret selling it though....
that all being said, my work horse is my Caravela with a rebuildable tank/atty on top of it.
Reliability and power have trumped everything else i've owned, either sold off or forgotten.
thanks for reading...

The VV aspect hasn't been useless to me.. Most of my mech mods drop between 3.80-3.75v on a fresh battery and 1.0 ohm dual-coil.. The ProVari holds 3.8v for hours, and does not drop gradually every hit like my mechs.. I enjoy the consistency, and wouldn't want to up the voltage any further if I could... The safety features are nice too..
I had a ProVari V1 for way over a year before the 2.5, and it wouldn't run my 1.0 ohm dual-coil in the Hercules.. Now that the 2.5 does, it's the only mod I like to run it on..

yeah i get ya, but i like to play around with the provari.
2.0 ohms @ 4.5volts feels different but satisfying, just like my 0.6 ohms on my mech
sometimes i push it to over 5v and the ZAP just keeps fogging up my place lol.
if you have a rebuildable, try it out

I think everyone should own a provari. It's so reliable that you will always go back to it even if just once in awhile
Does the Reo Grand VV hold it's voltage throughout the battery life? I'm really intrigued by those Reo's. I would prefer to use a cartomizer as RBA's just don't interest me. I'm looking at the Reo mini or VV.
true i kinda was bashing the provari... honestly it is a great mod one of the best actually. its just not for me man... that one button and the quality of the display turn me down every time i look at it, i mean if i am paying 160$ for the thing at least they could put a better display in in it what the hell it looks like the 3$ led you buy from the draw at radio shack ! just my opinion dont take it to heart.
if i had the extra money to through at a provari, extention tube, and batterys, plus a charger....i would buy this instead....
the cyborg dna 20 mod... solid billet aluminum 5-20 watts down to 1 ohm full beautifull display and can convert to a mechanical mod with low voltage drop simply by unscrewing the dna 20 top cap and putting the solid top cap and bottom button on
i would take that over a provari all day any day. hell i would even take another mech of equal value over the provari.... i just do not like that mod the display and one button make me hate it lol.
now if they came out with a new version that would fire a 1 ohm coil and went 3-6 volts and had a updated display that showed ohms battery lvl voltage wattage and amps all at once without touching anything and had a button to fire and twwo bttons for volts up and down and selection porposes i would definatly buy one .

I think the closest he came to a ProVari was seeing one posted in pics...
vaped with one for a week and gave it back to the guy i bought it from and got my money back..........i hated it
edit ... i did not hate the way it vaped ... it vaped awsome, i just cant stand clicking that button a hundred times. i like to fiddle with my voltage and check ohms yeh i have va[pe adhd and the menu did not make it easy to to that at all.
idk i will leave it alone. its a great mod i just dont like it. i used one for a week and it was not for me.

I like the display of the ProVari. It is industrial, military-esque; that's why I got red for my black one. I don't need a clock, calendar, puff counter or vibrator. After a couple of weeks with the first ProVari, I know how long my batteries last, so don't need a display to constantly tell me. I check the ohms when attaching a tank, adjust voltage accordingly and don't need to set or check anything else until I switch tanks. I always have the fire button light off and am glad the screen isn't on constantly. I'd rather save my battery for vaping, than checking information I should already know.
I'm a little older than the addicted-to-smart-phone generation, so don't have a need to constantly check display screens. I even wear a watch to tell the time.
