Provari, VMaXX, or Chrome LT?

[eyebedam]

So I want a little something diff. Which way to go?
Provari is nice but once all the extra are totaled up it gets
Really pricy. I hear the VMaxx is nice but it is overpriced for what it
comes with<<<< that's what I read anyway. LT have had issues & they aren't
that much less expensive than the VMaxx so really it'll prob be bbetween the Provari
&vmaxx.



So for those of you with thoughts on the matter which & why? I already understand the Provari
is quality so as far as the you get what you pay for replies I understand that & it
is noted so we can keep that to a minimum.

See the vmax tips and tricks thread first. I just recieved a chrome vmax today from crystal clear vaping. I had the LT 1.5 with issues and returned it. The vmax, imo puts the lavatube to shame in raw feel in your hand, and in power. you can run LR on it if you want to. Ive never had to provari but many people who have both the povari and vmax feel they are comparable and even find themselves using their vmax more from what Ive read.

Features, quality, fit, and finish Im very happy with the vmax. For what its worth.

ProVari because one battery is simple.
Vmax because it is cheaper.
3:54:40 PM wouldn't like the cheap button or feel from what I've read.
I vote ProVari in Satin Silver. It has a nice finish.
Get your accessories elsewhere. madvapes have chargers and batts cheaper. No AW IMP though. I recommend the 18650 from Orbtronics. CGR18650CH button top. You need an 18650 ext cap though.

With all due respect, your question appears to be directed at a mirror. I, for one, am curious; what does yourself say to do?

I'm just having some fun, so please forgive. You appear to be educated on the various issues associated with your potential choices already, so just make a decision and run with it. I expect the probability of you being pleased with it, whatever you decide, is high.

Anything but Marlboro.

I haven't tried the vmax but have been vaping NON-STOP on my Provari V2 for almost 2 months now and can honestly say this thing is amazing and a bargain compared to all the other money I wasted on other mods out there !

The money will spend once. My suggest is get the Provari

 

[Ratchet]

I just ordered another V-tube from Apollo as my Chrome Lavatube shorted out last night and won't do anything but blink.... I love the LT, want a Provari but sorry, I don't want to spend $200+... I went with Apollo since their warranty is as good as Volcano (1 year) and the prices are cheaper. I have another black LT I can use for now but I wanted a "backup for the backup" in case anything happens to my LT while the other one is in Hawaii getting replaced. Got the unit only and ended up paying only $40 for it. My volcano tube was $80 and it's identical to the Apollo one. Can't beat that. The full kit is $74.95 and there's a 30% off coupon (vtube30) you can use for both the kit and the unit only.

You'll get longer battery life with the Vmaxx and it'll handle Dual core better, if that matters to you it's an easy choice. Everything else goes to the Provari.

 

[DPLongo22]

I'm just curious, why does it handle dual core better? I'm currently vaping a 1.5 ohm e-Power 6ML cart at 4.2 volts on a ProVari V2; it's marvelous (he said in an understated tone). So, again out of curiosity, what would the Vmaxx do that would make my experience even better than the perceived perfection I feel now?

Longer battery life? I expect that is surely the case. But I'd like to hear more about the rest of it, please.

 

[McAldo]

I understand it has an higher amperage than the Provari, so it should be able to run dual coils better. But I think that was more of a problem withe the older version, the V2 has an higher amperage.

Ohhh - OK. Thanks.

The VM will drive DC to a higher voltage due to the dual battery configuration and not using a booster regulator. Some people like to really push 1.5 ohm dual core up around 6v (which I can't imagine why) but to each his own. The Provari should drive to a high enough voltage for most people but for those that want to really push DC the Vmaxx would be the way to go.

 

[DPLongo22]

Jeeesh! 6V at 1.5??? 4.2 is definitely pushing it for me. My wife tops out at around 4.0 using the same juice, devices and config.

But, as they say, to each his own!

It ain't Marlboro!!!

It is like the commercial. What's in your wallet. If money is not a problem get a Provari. If like most people, money is tight I would suggest the V max. I am giving my GF's sister a V max so I got to try it out for a few days. It is a very solid, well built unit. I have a couple of Darwin's and some GLV's but if all I could use was the V max I could still be happy. From what other people are saying the LT is OK but handle with kid gloves. Good Luck and I am sure no matter what you get you will be happy.

I (obviously) can't speak to the V-Max, but I can to the LT. I own one, and it was my initial experience with VV. It's definitely an "OK" unit. In fact, I've had numerous requests to buy it, but I won't sell. It's my backup and I plan to retain for that very purpose.

What I will say is that anyone who states that a LT provides the same vaping experience as a ProVari, has either (a) deluded themselves into that opinion, or (b) hasn't actually tried both. There absolutely is a difference, and it's relatively significant. But again, I certainly wouldn't say the LT is bad. If I felt that way, I'd sell it.

Now, from a Bottom-Up perspective (vs. Top-Down), the LT is well worth the purchase price. It's a fairly big step up, at least for me, from a non-VV device.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I'm curious to the difference you get with the Provari vs the LT other than maybe durability. Reading and changing voltages appears to be much easier on a LT than a Provari. They both just supply voltage to the device you are vaping. I just don't understand how one could provide a significant better vape than the other. I'm not trying to start a debate but being as you have both I'm just curious.

I could see it if the limiter on the LT was blindly kicking in, which was my biggest gripe about it, other than that voltage is voltage. I've had both and couldn't tell the difference as long as the LT was kept within it's limit which can be difficult to judge if he doesn't have a external meter.

 

[DPLongo22]

It's nothing you haven't read before, TX, and my preferred vape is via a 1.5 ohm cart. With it, the vape is much smoother and more consistent with the ProVari. As for which buttons are easier to push, six of one, half dozen of the other. Buttons are buttons and both are considerably easier than the built in keyboard on this damn phone.

 

[DPLongo22]

I should offer some additional clarification here. When using either my Phn or BDV tanks, with 3.0 bones, the difference, while still there, is not nearly as pronounced as with the LR ePower carts. Therefore it could well be related to the aforementioned limitation kicking in. Regardless, it IS there and IS significant. Again, for me.

Pardon any typos/grammaticals here but I'm sitting in an ER, waiting for my wife to be treated, and am, quite frankly, bored to (insert word here).

Thanks DP! I never vape anything on my VV lower than 2.2 ohms and usually 2.5-3.0 so maybe that is why I don't see the inconsistency.
I hope the wife is OK!
