All a matter of opinion... I think the vamo is cheap looking and feeling, personally -- no amount of variable wattage will change that. Beyond that, the OP already stated exactly what they wanted to buy.

klynnn: Personally -- I've saved over 7 grand since dropping analogs -- and I've spent less than $1200 on ecig equipment. I'm not afraid to drop an extra $100-150 on something 1) I know I'll be satisfied with, and 2) I like the aesthetics of. Aesthetics are important to me; the Vamo's just not got the lines for my tastes.
Functionally, absolutely nothing wrong with a Vamo -- I recommend em to people quite frequently -- but its not for everyone, and some people aren't afraid to put a little extra on something they know they'll enjoy.

I will get flamed but as a female I like the variable wattage better. Of course the provari is a great ecig no probs there but it needs a revamp big time and not just a new design. I can put any type delivery device on the vamo and vape away no matter the resistance- that makes a lot of sense to me. I'm learning a lot of stuff but call a spade a spade. The vamo may be a bit cheaper but it does its job so far. We will see i the future.
I just buy/build my equipment at consistent ohms, and know the proper voltage to achieve the wattage I desire -- no changing settings needed 95% of the time. Different strokes, different folks.
That said -- I specifically said the variable wattage is a great feature, and that functionality-wise its good hardware. I recommend it frequently to people who ask me about mods. However, for LOTS of us, aesthetics matter. Just look at the rage behind various mechanical and hybrid mods -- not a one of them has variable voltage or wattage by default, and frankly, they don't need it. VW is an interesting function, but if you plan out what equipment you're using, and on what mod/at what voltage, its a null issue. Certainly not a selling point to me. Aesthetics are much more important for my desires.

No one is saying it doesn't -- but you specifically came into a thread where someone stated their direct intention to buy a Provari, and was simply asking explanation for the differences between models. Instead, you told him to buy something else -- this isn't a constructive comment and it served no purpose.
I and everyone else on the thread I'm sure are quite glad you enjoy your Vamo -- but obviously you're not in like minded company in this thread. Why keep posting in it?
Gee sorry for poking my nose in where you don't like it. I think everyone should get all opinions not just yours.
The Provari does what it does better than ANY vv device.
Variable wattage is NOT for everyone. I wish people would stop with that.
I don't need bells and whistles. Just give me a great, consistant, vape and don't break down 6 month down the line. Give me a company that stands behind it's product, even after the warranty.

He didn't ask for opinion. He asked for explanation between specific *PROVARI* models. Can't you see a difference?
I stand corrected because you obviously want to make sure I THINK LIKE YOU DO. Sorry some of us are free spirits. We just pop up when you don't think it's when we should.
have always wanted a provari but my pockets are not that deep.. got myself an evic.. and still saving up for a provari.. provari is the way to go..
Ding Ding round 3...It doesnt matter, any chat asking about a provari is bound to be a debate on ecf...
Ok, you enjoy your delusions.
I never said anything about changing your opinion -- in fact I agreed with you that the hardware is good and the variable wattage functionality is nice. HOWEVER THIS IS IRRELEVANT TO THIS CONVERSATION.The original poster STATED HIS INTENTIONS TO BUY A PROVARI MINI. He DID NOT then ask for opinions on what to buy as an alternative. He asked for, and got, explanations of the various versions for sale on the ProVape site. He then made his decision around that. NO WHERE IN THIS WAS OPINION OR ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS ASKED FOR. Why again is any of this telling you that your opinion is wrong? Methinks you may need to bump your nic level -- you seem a little edgy.
Or dare I say, it's that time of the......
NO I DIDN'T!
Bad boy, Baditude.
I don't mean to offend anyone, just having some fun here. These threads pop up EVERY week, and I enjoy getting in the fun.

I have both a Provari and a Vamo.... The difference in built quality is NIGHT & DAY.
Personally I don't get the hype about VW. Kinda reminds me of the big stereo wars back in the 70's where everyone was all about the most watts. Right now my stereo rig is from 1972 and is rated at a conservative true 15 watts per channel RMS and is loud and clean enough to get the cops called. When I first got it, I couldn't understand why it was dominating my old stereo from the 90's that was rated at 200 watts per channel... Too many descrepancies in how power is calculated and the way it's marketed. Just like old stereo equipment, the more it weighs, the better quality components went into making it. You get what you pay for.
The VV mods are really all you "need" to get a great vape. Everytbing else is just jumping on the hype train.

Provari 2 or 2.0 has the straight line design. Provari 2.5 has curved. Mini 2.5 has dimples. Which ever you like best aesthetically, they function the same. Ive owned a vamo and a provari and a mini. IMO there is no comparison. Provari or mini win hands down in form and function. I like getting 4.8v when I set to 4.8v regardless of the resistance. I dont like setting to 4.8v and sometimes getting 4.4v and sometimes 4.6v who knows. you can plan on using your provari for years to come and can be serviced if problems occur. you can plan on replacing the vamo someday when it fails. Both great devices but not comparable. sorry for stoking the fire and getting off topic again, just couldnt resist
What does being a female have to do with anything? I was very close to getting a VAMO, but decided on a Provari. I did a lot of research; it was a personal choice. I'm glad you get off with your VAMO - but what does being female have to do with it?
That's nice. The original post was a question about Provari versions, not gardening.
At which time you can happily post your conclusions in the VAMO sub-forum.
I am a female. I can do math and stuff. Please do not try and represent our gender.
