Just my two cents here...do we really need to continue to post questions regarding the pre-order status? The ProVape crew has been doing an awesome job of updating the threads as they get parts and get units out the door. I know we're all anxious but once we've been using our Vari's for a few months, we'll have forgotten all about the pre-order madness. If you've ever pre-ordered something, you know that the wait goes along with the territory. I don't really think we should be asking ProVape to provide a list of orders of Vari's just so we know how close we are. That sounds like a monumental waste of time. When the parts are there, the units will get finished and shipped. All pre-orders are like this so getting overly anxious is not worth it. We will get them as soon as it is humanly possible and we will all be very happy.
I don't think this thread was for asking Provari though Industrial,, it was for others to post to let us know what's going on with all the rest of us and to keep us up to date on what orders are going out so Provape doesn't have to. That's how I see this anyway and I think its a good way for people who got there shipping info to help others without getting Provape involved
I'm with you, a post before mine and some others are asking for info that only the ProVape crew could provide.

If they want to answer it they will and if they don't they won't. For alot of people it helps pass the time. I've have yet to see anyone demanding anything.

I am guilty here but the only thing I was asking was that IF they are going to be posting updates like they have been, to just add if that is the last order going out or if they still have parts and are continuing to ship and the reason is that seems to be the most popular question everyone has once ProVape provides an update.
I too agree with you and do like getting updates from others and feel ProVape has already and continues to go out of there way to help and if they want to post updates great, if not no biggie for me as I know they are doing the best they can, which is all anyone can do.
The way I see it is it's up to them if they want to provide updates.

The only reason I ask is that my order is tied to my checkbook. I don't use CC cards (yea, 1 of the few). I am in no way rich, so its tough to keep $200.00 sitting there.
I'm sure they are more frustrated than anybody that this has happened and can't wait to get the parts, then orders out a lot more than me.
If I upset anyone, I am sorry. Wasn't meant to. This is why I have a low post count, seems ever time I say something I upset somebody. So, I'll shut up now, other than
Merry Christmas to All and a Very Happy New Year
God Bless our troops and bring them Home safe

LOL, I totally understand and I'm sure everyone in the thread does too. I just hope we all have reasonable expectations, that's all. Pre-orders are just a whole animal unto themselves.
As for the money for the Vari, have you asked about mailing them a postal money order or a cashier's check? That way, the money is gone and you don't have to stress about it.
We shipped more than 30 so that helped move things up. Were on the edge of 3000's now. I'll know later in the week how things are looking for the next round.
or write it in the register that it's already been removed?
3.7v LR dripper bottom feeder here so far; on my way to the p.o to get my Pro Vari.
(notice of arrival came..)
Put IMR's 18500 and 18650 on the Pila charger... what atty should i put on?
I have different LRs and quite a few reg. 510's,
( a couple HV's ordered i believe (lol)...
here we go...

Hey now... you keep your logic out of here... this place is supposed to be FUN!
Well then, as I'm order #3135, I highly suggest he cancels the order until the ProVari's are in stock & ready for immediate shipping....
hee hee heeeeeeee
Hey Uke, I've noticed a lot of people with the same question. Here are some useful charts from the FAQ page for the ProVari. I think a lot of people will find them quite useful. I'm searching around for the best price on reliable 2.2Ω attys and cartos as we speak....
Ukeman you lucky dog man lol. just kidding. enjoy your new Provari.
Hey Uke i would try some regular 306 or 510 attys. i sold all of my mods but kept a few and they are 5 volts and variable v ones. I picked up a few of those special High Voltage 801's and they are totally amazing. i dont want to say the web site on Provape's forum. But i think you know who im talking about. first name starts with I. pm me and i will pm ya back.
i went from using LR 306 and LR 510 to regular 306 and reg 510 and high voltage also. there is a big differehnce. imio.
Best of luck with your Provari. I am #3031 so i hope to be in next batch or so. if not i can wait. The boys at Provape are doing their best. i dont want my Provari to be a rush job so i will have patience.
Happy vaping you lucky dog lolol

just got my provari on the mail now. order #2958 shipped last saturday.
Congrats and happy vapes to you
I got my ProVari early this morning and have been running it through the features.
I was rather leery about going back to a tube mod, but find that I actually missed holding a sleek and sexy tube in my hand.
The ProVari has a very solid feel to it. When I shake it there is no rattling at all - da nada. It has ribbed markings circling the middle of the case which gives me a better grip when I pick it up and hold it. Nice for those of us who are a bit clutsy! It also has a straight flat bottom that makes it stand securely upright when I set it down. No wobbling or tilting at all.
The lighting for the digital display is awesome for those of us who need reading glasses - it's like it's magnified when I'm looking at it so I don't need my specs on to see what it says. The learning curve for using the menu is almost nil as I was up and running with it in no time.
When I first put the batt in and scewed the bottom on, the switch flashed red then I got a fatal E7 error message and then it went dead - no display no nothing - omg!! LOLOLOLOL - just wasn't expecting that. I checked the batt and yes I had it in right. I have no idea if that's normal or not, but it happened just that one time so far. I've removed and re-inserted the batt several times now and it's not happened again.
So here's what I've vaped with so far:
510 XL carto 3 ohms running at 5.5 volts all the way up to 6.0 volts - handles that load aok. My normal setting for this carto is 5.5 volts.
510 regular atty 2.2 ohms running at 5.3 volts up to 5.9 volts - won't go 6 volts - get an E2 error message (amps exceeded) at 6 volts. My normal setting for this atty is 5.3 volts, sometimes 5.4 or 5.5 volts.
Joye 510 LR atty - I did 3 separate LR 510 attys that measured 1.5-1.7 ohms. One atty wouldn't go above 3.8 volts without getting the E2 error and shutting itself off. The other two attys I was able to run max at 4.1 volts without getting an error message. My normal setting for this atty is 4.3 volts.
The atty fires when going through the menu options - very short bursts of low power firing except when checking the batt voltage level and atty ohms - the atty fires a bit longer then. The digital display does not light or seem to be activated when pressing the button for a normal draw.
I'm using the recommended AW IMR 18650, 1600 mAh batt. I tried a Tenergy 18650, 2600 mAh batt but it appears the ProVari won't work with flat top batts - the positive pole of the flat top batt doesn't make contact with the batt connector since the connector sits flush inside its casing. I also tried the AW 18650, 2600 mAh batt and no go with that either since it is a flat top batt too. I have on order some TF flame batts that I'll try when I get them - they have a button top so we'll see. I tried the UltraFire 18650, 3000 mah batt - it has a button top. I wasn't expecting it to work at all cuz of its low discharge rating, but it would work then it didn't then it did then it didn't. lol.
I REALLY like the draw I get from the Provari!! ProVape did a great job with the atty connector and the right amount of airflow through it. The atty connector looks very solidly built, is raised a bit, and is surrounded by a juice well.
I'm a bit disappointed that the ProVari won't handle the 4.3 volts I like with my LR 510 atty. I knew I was pushing the amps with that, but it's not a major disappointment since I've pretty much moved to vaping with the 510 carto 3 ohms at 5.5 volts.
Overall I'd say this ProVari is top notch - sleek sexy and solid and vapes like a champ!! It's REALLY nice to vape with and show off!! I'm glad I bought it and so far would highly recommend it. Only time will tell how durable it is and how the features hold up, but since it comes with a 1 year warranty I have no worries about that.
Did some tests with my voltmeter with a 5 sec push under load. I'd say the results are very impressive!
510 carto 3 ohms - ProVari set at 6v :: voltmeter = 6.0v :: under load = 6.0v. Tested 3x - same results.
510 regular atty 2.2 ohms - Provari set at 5.9v :: voltmeter = 5.9v :: under load = 5.9v. Tested 3x. Second time voltmeter and under load = 5.8v. Third time voltmeter and under load = 5.9v.
LR 510 atty 1.5 ohms - ProVari set at 4.1v (that's the highest it will go for this atty without getting an E2 - amps exceeded error) :: voltmeter = 4.1v :: under load = 4.05v. Tested 3x. Voltmeter reading didn't change, but under load changed from 4.05 to 4.07v and 4.08v respectively.
My vv regulated mods drop at least 0.2v under load, sometimes up to 0.4 volts under load. So the ProVari results look extremly impressive when maxing it out at what it's capable of.
The display is a LOT clearer than it looks in this pic. The glare makes it look distorted.
I'm using an 18650 batt with the Provari extension tube. With the 510 XL carto and drip tip on it's just under 7" high. This height doesn't bother me cuz it still fits in my hand with it being a tube mod.

Good info mamu! LOL on the sleek, sexy tube comment!!
A couple of things, the ProVari page states that flat-topped batteries will not work. I have a BDL IMR that came with a magnetic button so I'm curious as to wether or not that will work. I'm guessing it will.
A couple of posts ago I added the charts from the ProVari FAQ page which shows the ranges for various resistances. 2.2 is the option that gives you the most choices. LR atties really limit the user. I'm hanging on to my Phidias and Bahnzo box mod (both 18650's) for my LR vaping at 3.7 and so my non high-drain batteries still serve a purpose, haha.
If you get a chance, could you post a couple more in-hand pics? If you have an eGo to hold next to it, that would be awesome. For some reason I just don't have a good idea of the finished size.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around to chat much lately. The last ProVari order to ship was #2996. We're putting them together as quickly as possible but the manufacturers of some of the parts are having trouble keeping up with our demands. I will keep you updated with the latest order # shipped as often as possible.
