Blue LED - At this time we cannot. Blue LEDs require a higher voltage to run and with the way its setup we selected red because it was bright enough to get through the clear button and has a lower voltage requirement. The actual button itself is clear and you can turn the led off so it won't light when you press the button. The low battery alert will still let you know but that only comes on towards the end of the battery life. In most of the pictures it looks like the button has a red tint but its actually clear.

The differences between the 18490 and 18500 - Size. The 18490 is just a tiny bit shorter in length but both batteries will work.

The adapter is sealed. I accidentally overfilled my carto the other day and topped off the reservoir, all was good. Its also easy to clean around the reservoir with a papertowel :)

This mod is awesome, awesome and AWESOME! Just a quick question about the warranty. Let's say the digital display goes wacky after 1 year... what would be the approx. cost of getting it fixed after the warranty has expired? Maybe what I should be asking is, what would be the most expensive part to fix? I'm just trying to justify the cost and convince myself it would be worth the price in the long-run.

Well the most expensive would be if you took out the whole PCB. Say it goes into the pool with you..opps. I'll have to check and see what a replacement would run.

We haven't run the pool test yet :)

That Led display should last a LOOOONG time. Led's have a long life. We are using very high quality components in this device!

lol nice. I'll definitely be picking this up. The simplicity of changing voltage is just too cool. One questions on that though. Do you have to keep clicking to go up in voltage or can you hold the button down to quickly "zoom" through the settings? It's not a big deal either way but I was just curious. Thanks


Side note: If you like my slogan feel free to use it. lol

Right on!! Vari nice of you :)
Once you are in the voltage setting mode, you advance to the next voltage option with each button press. There is no hold to zoom. We thought about that, but it could be a little touchy, so we went with the button presses.

I was actually joking about the LED color David but now I learned something new. I'm also now curious as to why a blue LED takes more voltage to run but you don't have to take the time to explain.

The differences between the 18490 and 18500 - Size. The 18490 is just a tiny bit shorter in length but both batteries will work.

Which do you recommend?

Or just as bad as driving a 5spd,trying to drip, checking and responding to forum, and adjusting voltage with a screwdriver in traffic ;)

So what your saying is the Provari may actually help reduce car accidents by reducing the number of things you do while driving. Nice!! :)

I am actually getting this to stay ahead of my own learning curve!
I am very happy with 3.7 v vaping and plan to use my 18650s. If there is any change it will be to IMRs, but the whole VV thing will be geared towards learning about HV attys and that is down the road....

If the VapeMate is the best feed system for this ProVari, that's what i got this for. IF there is another feed system available ( i believe eventually; the VM is the first imo) better than the VM, well i'll be ready.

I have yet to get my VM but my belief right now is that TOP Feed is superior to bottom feeding just because i like the taste of dripping vs bottom feeding.

I doubt anyone else is in my boat but we're still all in the same boat more or less. Just saying :)

not from what i have heard:
getting certain volts with certain hv attys ; that's the point; there are so many choices for both straight 3.7, straight 6v, and Vv's and attys for higher voltages.... and by the time i am interested in more than 3.7 and an LR, there should be plenty of sweet spots and different favorite atty choices..
I have Vape mentors lol.


VV makes atty resistance irrelevant.

Excellent. Will keep an eye out. I definitely don't need another mod, but the Provari has got my attention. Thanks. :)

Hey BG!! <waves>

I definitely don't need another mod either :laugh:, but I couldn't resist - just placed my pre-order today. woot!!

Kudos Vape360 - I've been waiting a year and a half for a PV of this caliber!! And believe me - I'll be workin it. I did a happy dance when I saw that the boost circuit the ProVari has can provide up to 12.5 watts. lol

ETA: I run my regular 510 attys at 5.5 volts and run my LR attys at 4.3 volts. That comes in slightly under the 12.5 watt limit. <yay>
