ProVari vs MVPv2

[HeavenNorHell]

So you're saying the MVP dies so quick that it wouldn't get me by for ~3 months to save up some cash to drop 200$ on a PV?

i am getting about 2 days out of the mvp2, and it serves home duty. I use another battery at work that is more stealthy but I don't vape a lot at work.

When the MVP2 battery stops charging, it is a paper weight. But it's $40 and it should get around 300 charges

So 2 days per charge? And 300 charges before it dies? Thats like 2 years lol, if it lasts that long I'm not worried.

I just got an MVP Friday. It's taking getting used to, since I've been using an ego battery. I'm adjusting though I like it a little more each day. I simply can't afford to spend the money on the provari, but I admit, I'm very interested. I got the Energy Series camo looking one. It came with a matching iclear 16b. I gave that to my boyfriend. He loves it!

it's $40 man, I am not sure what you are asking, or worried about. Can't you go ahead and drop $200 on a "PV" now? Don't forget the batteries brah...

I get 3 days on my MVP v1 using it at 3.7v, i work the night shift alone and vape all night to give you an idea how much i vape.

I've had mine for 6 months now and still holds the charge like the 1st day

You won't be disappointed in either, OP. It all comes down to your budget, frankly.

Not worried, just wanting opinions whether its WORTH the 40$

Sweet, so batteries not an issue. Thanks mate

Good to know.

I've definitely gotten all I need to know Will definitely be getting the MVP, and then looking forward to getting a Provari down the line!

I'm sitting here vaping both my Provari and my MVP. I have 3 dead Vamos in the garage. $40 for an MVP is the best money I've spent in 7 months of vaping. Hands down. I've had the MVP for 4 months, and it is rock-solid, just a shade less rugged than the Provari.

The MVP does last (between charges) for a very long time, so long that it has become a problem for me in that I forget to plug it in, and run it down every couple days to nearly empty.

Totally worth it. So is the Provari.

that is the mod only, nothing else

"Throw away" is often used describe the MVP. But look at reality - say the battery lasts 1 1/2 years, then you buy a new one. For the cost of a Provari, you can buy 7 1/2 years worth of MVPs. Of course, the Provari will need 5 new $10 batteries during that time, more than enough to buy another MVP, so break even on a Provari is somewhere beyond 9 years. That's not considering the cost of the external charger you'll need for the Provari.

If, during those 9 years, something better comes along (and who thinks they'll be using the same device even 5 years from now?), with the MVP you'll never have more than $40 invested, so switch. Fall out of your pocket somewhere along the way? A $40 hit is easier to take than a $200 one.

There's also the convenience of being able to charge the MVP from virtually any recent cell phone charger - microUSB is ubiquitous, no need to carry a separate charger around. Need an unexpected charge of one of your other USB chargable devices, the MVP will do that, too.

The Provari claims to be better built. Perhaps, but I don't see many complaints about MVP build quality or related problems. Provari does provide more "bragging rights," though, which is important to some. Some people like Rolexes, some people like Timexes. Both tell time just fine.

depends on how much you vape,,I vape 14 ml a day,,,,,,,,and I have to charge it twice a day,,,

I'll be lucky to get 6 months out of mine.

thank you,,,,,,,,I was just getting ready to point that out,,,,for just over 200 bucks, you can get the whole starter kit with 2 batteries and a charger.

 

[seahawkin]

I got both and use both daily.



Love em both, for different reasons. MVP2 can plug that puppy into a phone charger, last for days and I can toss it in my purse for long trips. Provari though, I have to say is a very consistent vape. Hard to explain but I seem sensitive to drops and increases in voltage and I have never experienced one with my Provari.

Updated pic of Provari cause it is so dang pretty...

How long does the MVP battery last? :O Can it be rebuilt rather then spending 40$ on a new one?

I got mine when they first came out- probably over a year- Mine just died. Got mine in a co-op and probably paid around $30 for it. Come out to around $2.50 a month. Overall, very worth it.

Just curious to know what to expect from my own. Did the battery start to not hold as long of a charge towards the end? Or did it just stop working one day?

 

[Caridwen]

No everything was fine as far as the battery. My issue is where you attach the cord.

BTW, OP: Provari V2 Satin Silver

Such a deal!!!
Especially since a silver satin Provari V2.5 is only $159 from Provape!

since we are on the subject of ProVari, and I know Santa is gonna bring me one....I need a good source for the batteries (I want a couple 18490's and 18650's) I know the ones I currently use don't work with Provari
I also know this horse has been beaten to death (sorry all) ... right now I'm just too lazy to search the forum (almost bed time) and I also know Baditude is around

oh yeah, I also wanna get an IBTanked for it...and could use help with that

IBTanked Pyrex Tanks: A Review

Provape sells AW batteries. RTD Vapor is an authorized dealer of AW batteries; they also happen to sell IBTanked pyrex tanks.

You'll want the red IMR button top variety. The standard size Provari uses the 18490 size, and with the optional battery extension cap can use the 18650 size.

The mini uses the 18350 size, and with the Provape battery extension cap you can use the 18490 size; with a Tatroe extension sleeve and the Provape battery extension cap you can also use the 18650 battery in the mini.

I have 3 Provari Mini's. I think I'm trying to "collect em all". But that's how much I love them. The Mini is very small (3 in.) and is a powerhouse vaper with 18350 batteries that last about 6 hours. I like switching out batteries for a fresh vape instead of having to wait for the USB's (MPV) to charge for 4 hours. Also, you can buy the small 'extension' piece to lengthen your Mini to hold a longer battery to get longer vape time between charges. But for me, 6 hours with the Provari Mini 18350 battery is absolutely perfect. You can just carry extra batteries with you when you go out. Easy peasy.

But...I also have an MPV and there's sure nothing wrong with that. It's very sturdy, feels well built, and lasts me 3 days after a charge. So go for it, you'll like it. It's also a powerful vape and should serve you well. In the meantime, start saving up for a Provari, any size you want. The Provari in any size is around $160 and for $20 more you can get it in black or another color. The "Kit" is about $210 and gets you the Provari Mod, 2 batteries and the charger, and a Clearomizer. (No I'm not a Provari salesman just a Provari lover.)

Both the Provari and MVP are great vapes. I like the Provari because it's easier to handle (tube mod) but you can catch on to these box mods pretty quickly. I will dare to say that you'll enjoy your MVP a lot and when you get your Provari...you'll be in 7th heaven and set for life! Good luck!
