PROVARI REVIEW
I received my provari yesterday and it took exactly 3 weeks from order date to receiving it. Truly a beautiful and functional pv.
I thought about doing an extensive review, but that has been done and anyone interested in the provari knows what it can do; and it they don't, they can read reviews already posted or look on youtube. I'll keep it simple.
I thought it was going to be a hassle to push the button numerous times to check or change functions on the provari but after less than a day it has become second nature and really doesn't require much thought. The button is firm but soft and takes little effort--it's very comfortable on your finger. The unit with the battery in it lets you know you have something in your hand. The 18490 batteries on 1st charge took 2 hours and it was ready to go.
The set-up I'm using is a 510 hv atty (according to the provari it's 4.6ohms) and a ego-t (2.5ohms)--another great feature and one less piece of equipment you need to check your atties.
This is really my 1st adventure into direct-drip atties other than the ego-t and I got a hv atty because I like a cooler vape. I started out with a battery setting of 5v on the 510 hv and got a great flavor hit but no th. I turned the voltage up to 5.3 and I hit my sweet spot--the flavor exploded and a decent th with a relatively cool vapor. The atty is stainless steel with a solid stainless steel drip tip and it looks killer. This will be my at home set-up which is convenient because I work from home at a computer.
I have had a lot of success with the ego-t on a joye ego battery and wanted to use the ego-t on my provari for around town and on the road. The issue has been the clearance needed for the skirt of the ego-t atty and battery housing. I ordered, in advance, two 510-510 connectors that measured at 1/4 inch each and 510-901 to 901-510 connectors. The 510-510 connectors stacked worked best but still leaves a 1/4 inch gap(1 510-510 connector is not enough room)...actually it doesn't look bad at all and hasn't affected the performance that I can tell--but I've also increased the voltage from an ego battery at 3.2 to 3.7-4.0 on the provari.
I am thinking about extending the skirt of the ego-t with a rubber ring, but I'll worry about that later. Also, I know I could probably just use 1 510-510 connector and shorten the skirt on the ego-t atty, but I'm not dealing with that crap.
Battery life with the smaller of the two offered has been more that adequate for me. I vaped from 12noon yesterday until 1am this morning and battery life showed 3.3 when checked at this time. When I got up this morning I vaped for a couple of hours and finally changed out the battery, but it still hadn't died.YMMV
Overall, the reason I got the provari was to just vape and not worry about all the things I have to do to accomplish this; the provari provides this, with more than moderate hours of battery life, great functions to get the most out of my juices, simplification of use, and does it all in a beautiful package.
Hope this helps.
cheers

The highest voltage I've vaped at is 5.4v and I have never noticed any heat from the tube with constant vaping.

The ProVari is the coolest running PV I have used, and I've had a bunch of them!
didn't like the clearos on the provari...put an old e2 on it and its great....
Cool literally. I was just curious if the circuit that jumps the voltage up got warm. Heat is the biggest enemy of electronics. I can't wait.
I find that the tube can get fairly warm in some spots. The area where the battery is held stays cool, but sometimes the tube between the atty and the LCD screen gets pretty hot. It definitely is hottest nearest the atty (including the cap) and gets cooler down the tube until it dissipates around the LCD screen. It could be heat transfer from the atty and not the circuitry, though. I actually notice it more with attys than I do with cartos, but those are standard attys that are only around 2.0 Ohms (not LR) at around 3.8V.
If your Provari gets warm at all it's from the atty. I use a MAP tank and the Provari is always cool to the touch. I don't think the electronics generate much, if any, heat at all.
Hooray! I got my shipping notice last night for 3970, order placed on 2/1. Almost exactly 3 weeks. Thanks so much everyone at provape!
Agreed. I could be wrong on this but I believe the Provari uses a buck/boost converter which should be very efficient and produce very little heat.
Could be... I honestly don't know the specifics, I just know it must work well.
