Which is funny because VW is just intelligent VV that takes atomizer resistance into account. It's not rocket science, surely a chip can perform a quick ohms law calculation and back into wattage/voltage as needed. In this sense, VW just isn't necessary. I have VW mods and I adjust them up and down just like I do the ProVari's VV adjustments. My eVic shows both at the same time which I really enjoy, but I still "adjust" voltage, not wattage because for me, it's easier to relate to. "VW" is basically the last bastion of anti-ProVari zealots, excluding price which is a relative thing anyway. Given the price argument, I shouldn't own an Oris watch when a $20 Target watch does the same thing, e.g. tell time. Hell my cell phone tells time, why even bother with a watch! Ugh, it never ends. And for everyone who posts up "well an MVP V2 does what a ProVari does!" doesn't realize that sometimes I want to go over 5V, especially with a high res atty. Try doing that with an MVP and let me know how it works out.

That doesn't even matter, you can't change the battery on a MVP2, so when the battery dies, the unit itself goes in the garbage. My 2 month old MPV2 still works, but it vapes way worse than when I got it, and must be recharged much more often. It's great for what it is, but in the end, it's a disposable.

I'm not sure how it can be compared to a Provari, and I have 2 MPV2's, so it's not that I don't like them. But it's like comparing paper towels to a wash cloth.

that's nice and all but my favorite tank system is a cartotank system. ikenvapes inside an ibtanked glass tank. I think the provari would be perfect if it had some recesses for airflow on the top, VW in .1W increments and a slightly lower price. just my opinion.

Sorry, I'm late to the party. 90% of the time I use IBTanks with either Smok or IKV cartos, why don't they work on a ProVari?

If you can tell me one needs a third Provari I might just have to buy my first?

Hi Moody! I don't need a third but I wanted one & to celebrate 1 year of being smoke free my boyfriend purchased a red one for me. Needless to say I would've purchased it myself. My 2nd was a backup so that I'd never be without my most loved device incase I needed a repair or update. I also don't 'need' the several mechanicals that I have either but I can so I simply do. It's not uncommon for Provari owners to have more than one as it's many of our opinion that there's nothing better to backup a Provari than another Provari.

And please don't buy one because I have more than one, only purchase one if you truly want one. While it's my opinion that I couldn't have picked a better PV I agree that everything isn't for everybody. I just simply love mines. Yes, all of them!

Never discount incompetence. You have to factor that in too.

that's rich, so say you take an ibtanked tank with an ikenvape platinum carto and fit it down flush on top your provari and you can get airflow? really? either you are literally full of hot air or have the sucking power of a jet engine. If it's the latter, pm me ;)

Well after following this, i have to agree - this is amusing. I wonder whether the same people bashing provaris also bash DNA20 mods because they dont do VV, go below 4v etc, while being more expensive at the same time.

I would also like to see the mods that are options as replacements for the provari. I did break down and buy one and have been completed satisfied, so i may be lumped in with the rest of all of you as being stupid and incompetent, and buying into the hype.

P.S. - i have noticed many of the trolls bashing provaris can't spell. Consider me stupid.

When this started it was just another annoying 'VV vs VW, OP wants to argue thread', just like all the other ones that get started up daily. But lately it's gotten pretty funny.

But when I responded to what the OP had been saying he said I was trying to "discredit him."

I even asked him what he was using as his PV of choice which he choose not to answer based on his assumption that I was trying to "discredit him!"

All of these type of threads turn ugly in a heartbeat yet the OPs NEVER see how anything they post can be taking a certain way. We're just automatically wrong for responding- no matter what we say.

I read it as someone saying they were going to buy a ProVari while stating in the same breath why it wasn't worth buying.

Threads like this should be closed the second there opened!

You can screw them down flush because the 510 well on a ProVari has 4 little grooves for airflow. A beauty ring with no air holes would be the only way to disrupt airflow with a carto on a ProVari, or, if the bottom cap of the tank seals tight on the top cap of the ProVari. ProVape thought of everything...

you must have smoked yourself completely daft, for one, no one in this thread is bashing provaris. Instead I and others are saying they are great mods that need a little improving, well, and that they are surrounded by quite a bit of hype and have a measurable chunk of sheeple minded fanbois Urban Dictionary: fanboi (for the stoners out there who confuse their lack of internet vocabulary as someone's inability to spell)

The one on the left is a mini ProVari with an IBTank; the one on the right is a full size ProVari with an IBTank and a Loki ring, which is just decorative. How flush is it supposed to be?

I was using IBTanks before I got a ProVari and I had to use "vanity rings" with my eGo Twists to cover the threading too.

Will hot air blow up more balloons than regular air? I like balloons. :)

Obviously you relate to my comment, but i wasn't referring to you at all. I was simply writing an observation from many threads.

Oh snap! that looks slick. That's my gripe though. I mean $180 + shipping + batteries and you have to buy some aftermarket ring to get those beautiful tanks to work on the provari. $40 shipped and my Sid needs no "beauty ring" or Loki ring. For $200+ lets get some airflow holes or channels already.

Of course we are fanbois. What's not to like about something so insanely durable and will work through everything you can throw at it (or it at):)? Give respect where respect is due.

Not sure where the Apple analogy comes from, it's not remotely the same thing, because Apple does NOT stand head and shoulders above the competition like Provari does.

But on a more serious note, i am actually waiting for my ikenvapes to come in and have ibtanks waiting for them. Are you having issues with the provari and the tanks causing too much of a tight draw? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm new to the carto world and would like to know.

You are comparing a Provari to a SID?

You need to start saving and get a Provari before that dies:). The Provari will save you $$$!!!

They work just fine without a ring. I only recently got a Loki ring because I got a 22mm tank and it is wider than the tapered top. Prior to that, I use 19mm (which is roughly the top diameter) without a ring; in fact, I only have a couple of 22mm, so I hardly ever use a ring.

I'm looking around at my gear and I don't see anything that screws completely flush on any of the mods I have, except for an atty on a Reo.

O/T: You want to talk about making something flush? I got a Smoktech Tumbler because I thought it would look cool on my Bobo. The tank arrived, but won't work on the Bobo or the Vamo, because even though they have eGo threading, the Tumbler is too long and blocks the airflow. So I ordered a 510 to eGo adaptor, but that was too high and looked stupid. I ended up putting a Protank vanity ring upside down on the Vamo (the regular eGo vanity ring had too narrow of an opening), then the adaptor and then the tank. It looks like a martian probe.

Kudos to Eric at Discount Vapors who offered to take the tank back since I hadn't put juice in it, but I have become fond of the probe.
