I seriously doubt it.

Once the sales start to lag because the "Next Great Thing" came out, I bet they will change their minds! Look at Pure Smoker. Yes the Legacy is a really good mech, but they're a one trick pony without developing anything else to appeal to a larger populace. And they are currently closing shop. If they don't come out with a newer version/device, people will soon lose interest and float away; taking their money with them. The Provari is a great device, but it could be something more! The dna 20 chip doesn't look like a good fit for the Provari due to it's lack of protections and other slight downfalls (it's not vv only vw). However, I bet someone is currently looking on improving the dna 20 platform to bring it up to be a considerable winner. Couple that with the price point for the Provari, and there is sure to be a better device coming along soon. PROVAPES IF YOU're LISTENING: Keep giving the public what they want; a vv/vw mod on par with the ruggedness and reliability of the Provari, and they'll be as loyal as your current following!

I like my Reo.

Nuf said?????? There's at least one customer gone! I'm not dissing on the Provari, it is all it's supposed/said to be. Again great device, but if they don't plan on moving forward, they'll get left behind on the side of the street. Take the DNA 20, do some R&D, fix its' problems, and install it in a bomb proof, aesthetically pleasing device! Collect the adoration and cash, become filthy rich, retire to the Caribbean and let someone else try to come up with the next best thing!

Sorry to disappoint you. I have two ProVaris, which complement the Reo very well, since they are completely difference systems. I also have a Vamo, a Sigelei Bobo (which is a limited Zmax), a Phidias BF wood mod and eGos, boxes, etc. I love them all, but the ProVaris and the Reo are my go to devices - consistent performance and built like tanks.

Nope. Not without compromising the integrity. Don't believe me, get an Innokin SVD and see what happens 3 months from now.

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm good with my Vamo and Kmax for now, but I would like to get a Provari someday. It would be nice if they planned a VV/VW model sometime. I agree with Mr. Hodges on this. Such a model would be extremely popular. Of course, it would probably cost $250 to $300. :2cool: JD

There is nothing wrong with having multiple devices for different moods, situations, wants, desires, etc. However, on my $80/month vape budget, I cant afford to have a different device for each day of the week. I, and I assume most people on a limited budget these days, need to make a choice of the best device that can provide what I want/need it to do. Heck, I've been vaping the same Prodigy V3 for the last 4 years and just ordered my first vv/vw last week. I really looked at aesthetics, ergonomics, ease of use, build quality, features, and most importantly price point. If I can get more features, with "acceptable" build quality, for a lesser price, just what is my motivation to buy the Provari over the Vamo V3, Smoktech SID, iTaste MVP, etc.... Yes, one day I hope to have acquired a host of devices just like you, but Provari has missed my business because they're not looking at the whole market. The simple fact that I can buy 4 Vamos, SID's, MVP's for the price of 1 Provari and have all the features the Provari does not, should raise their eyebrows. If I were in business, I would be going for the larger slice of the pie. What if a mod embraced all the good things of all your favored devices, and didn't seem to have any of the negative, in one rugged good looking adaptable package for a competitive price? Would you buy it? And would you advise anyone else to try it? I would! I would also still be interested in looking at other devices, but wouldn't have an emergent "need" to run out and buy them if funds were tight. Point made??????

Theres rumors 7amps 20watts vv/vw single cell..

If its dc signaled right and solid housing then as its quoted @ Vaporjoes GAMEOVER
http://.........blogspot.com/2013/09/game-over-dna20-gets-cloned.html

Wow. It's looks like a Sigelei Zmax V3, except with 3 buttons instead of one. But, like you say, this could just be a picture, pending the release.

Again, R&D the integrity issues, fix the problems, make it vv/vw, and stick it in the already proven Provari body platform. It might not be an easy process, but the simplicity of the idea is at least worth looking into.

1) The DNA20 isn't a VV chipset.
2) Any DNA20 clone that claims VV isn't really a clone.
3) Any bets it's the same old frequency that the Vamo, SVD, et al. use?
4) I'd wager that all they did was take an existing Chinese chipset and add a OLED screen to it.

Its gaining popularity because of that statement DNA20
Aussies forum have coop and pricing, we shall know soon enough..

I would not take on that wager, innokin hits a dc signal with the mvp
they know the route to a great pv and to use the moniker DNA20 it may be the one..
It will upset the whole e-cig world IMO if it is the one..
The provari @ voltage @100% has not been beat yet, even the dna20 does not hit its variable wattage dials 100%
They are bragging they have done it..

1. 20 Watt ouput without Stacking!(1x 18650 battery)
The strogest and most precise electronics vv & vw mod on the world, why not to get rid of 15watts mod?

But, how many of us would really use 15.1 to 20 watts? I certainly would not on any of the tanks I use now. I wouldn't even come close to needing that much wattage. Or is there something else I'm missing here?

Sub-ohmers will try anything, if they think they won't blow up in the process! That's another issue, Provari is missing a huge market w/out being able to fire sub-ohm.

Can you imagine an aesthetically pleasing, adaptable, quality built, rugged, vv/vw, high wattage, sub-ohm firing, mod? :vapor::drool:

Im vaping 5v @22watts rigged computer power supply right now on a passthrough and love the short ramp up, vapes like an analog.

30 gauge and lower, watts make a huge difference. If your using standard gauge 32+ non micro resistances, it will most likely be to hot/burns and unused.
Watts on a proper build make a huge difference in flavor clarity, and richness of vapor, my vapor is extra smokey, whitish thick, and curling, with minimal lazy drag..
I used to think @7watts my ego's were all that I would ever use rfol, that bridge went down a while ago.. I still use ego's and enjoy them but only because I cant drag my 120v passthru along wherever I go.. A nano wrapped 12/11 micro coil @3ohms 32 gauge on an ego is badarse I must admit but it drains that battery uber fast.. This type coil on a 33mhz chip sounds like a campfire , the crackling of firewood its megahorn loud with some juices lol..

Example of what watts do to proper nano builds: @7:17 he starts vapeshow @12watts and goes up to 19watts
