Even though I hate the fact that the Provari lacks variable wattage capabilities, I still want one based on some information I saw in regards to the waveform of the output. From what I understand, the Provari produces a more "DC-like" output than most other mods which some people SWEAR makes for a smoother vape. I more or less believe this theory even without having tried a Provari yet.

Bit too sexy looking if you know what i mean. More so than the tesla even !.

The ProVape-1 is ribbed for grip, not pleasure...

I'm going to get a serenity sleeve when Tim has more available on Friday.

Susan,
You can buy jwraps or go to serenitygear.net and get a very nice sleeve made of leather.(almost any color).
And that Q-Tip cleaning is just so annoying isn't it? Geez, and I have to do that at least ONCE a week.(or maybe it is just me)

The airflow issue is/was my main complaint, especially when I was using clearos. Now that I have found my way to carto tanks, it isn't as big of an issue since you can adjust the height of the tank on the cartomizer.

On another note, I own a mini and still wanted to get smaller. When I'm out and about, I now run in 350 mode with an IBTanked halfling carto tank on top. This, as far as I know, is as small as a mini can get with a tank of any kind installed and it works great for me!

As a ProVari owner I have to agree with the airflow complaint. I have read in other threads that Provape is aware of the problem. Guess it's a wait and see if they address it. I know that I am switching to a Genesis type atty for mine and using my bottom breathers on my Protovape. Even the Protank 2 that came with my ProVari will hardly work on mine. Now is that entirely the ProVari's fault, no, but it's something that deeper cross cuts in the connector would help for example.

I enjoy both of my Provari's. The only thing that drives me nuts, is the shallow 510 female connector. All of my RDA's don't fit snug. Always has a gap. Provape needs to design an adjustable pin.

This, and the amp limitation are the only flaws i can come up with.

 

[The Ocelot]

My main downfall on the provari is it is severly outdated. No adjustable air flow. No flush mounting. No adjustable pin. No adjustable wattage. They were the best thing out there but now the neglect by the maker has alowed them to be out featured by china.

Oh dear! If the ProVari is outdated, does that mean I'm using a time machine when I vape my Reo? Good God man! A box, a bottle, a battery and an atty , can it be more low-tech? I guess it's even too primitive for China to waste their time cloning. And features? How does zip grab you? No adjusting watts, unless you have - Please Lord don't say it! - a working knowledge of Ohm's Law.* This time next year I'll bet when you ask people about a "Reo" they'll assume you mean the Duran Duran song....

*Just so you know, you can change the watts by adjusting the resistance of the attys you are using.

 

[The Ocelot]

Absolutely. I can't believe how outdated they are. They're like a freaking Model T, Alanis Morissette and the Boston Celtics all rolled up into a freaking mod.

I don't know how anyone would even consider using one. I'd be embarrassed to just put a battery in it, much less leave the house...

Oh snap. Where did I put my sarcasm font? It's here somewhere, I know it is.

I looked at getting a Provari Mini. There are 2 things about it that made me decide to not purchase one at this time.

First and foremost is the 7 segment led display. Are we stuck in the 80's? I mean come on, oleds have been around for a long time. There are much better HMI's out there and this is the best they can do?

Second is the size/weight of it. Not really a fault of the device itself, but of my personal preferences. I need something that is very portable and rugged to carry to work with me. I thought the Provari would be the answer but not as of now. Maybe someday they will do some updating and then I will purchase one.

 

[Zbeast08]

I have read many of these threads and always just read and let my "A" Team take care of buiness but....I have at say that I think it is ludicrous that a person will not buy a provari because of the few outspoken, telling the truth provarians, how damn silly is that!! Anyway, for what its worth, Provape has a product that is well made and well priced and it is the best thing since sliced bread, hahaha!!

Yea, maybe it's not for everyone.....it may not be the "best they can do" but it is all they need to do.....again, not for everyone, we all have alot of choices and hope that we all find the "sweet spot" for PV's!!

 

[Katdarling]

A negative I have is it doesnt use battery power very effeciently. The same 18650 lasts 40 percent longer in my dna 20 box at the same power level

Really? I find just the opposite!

Bottom breathers? What is a Protovape?

Or that city with the little outdated festival in South America...

You may. Sarcastic Font

No, actually some of us are totally (like dude) stuck in the 70's. I love the nite life...

All of these Provari threads are so much fun to read through.

 

[The Ocelot]

I wonder if it has ever occurred to those who loudly proclaim they don't want a ProVari that we might prefer they not get one either?

I agree jocat54.

Ok, now THAT'S funny!

 

[fyrman21]

My issue is I can't get any of my protanks to work on it. You have to have it so loose on the threads to get any airflow. I've tried all six of my protanks first and second gen ones with no luck. Had to go out and buy some I clear 30's for the time being which I'm not too fond of. Not too keen on using an adapter it kills the aesthetics. Guess my protanks will be stuck with my vamo v3 from now on.

I said the same exact thing with just as much disgust before I decided to get one, and then another one. Now when I use my Vamo V3, I think "what's with the poor pitiful little display? It's so tiny you can barely see it!" lol

So a Provari mini in 18350 mode isn't small enough for ya? You're right, that's not a fault of the device itself, but your personal preference. So why are you on this thread bashing Provari's? And, sorry to inform you, weight has a little something to do with ruggedness! Duh.

Perhaps you need an ego c with one of those cute little 450mah batteries, and a ce4 clearamizer. Oh wait, that's probably what your using now!

best regards, larry mac

I have read of this issue several times lately and it seems odd, since when PT first came out everyone complained the draw was too airy. I have one of the very first one in the US, which turned out to have a fragile base. I had to buy a new one for mine after it bent, but I haven't tried it on the ProVari. I wonder if the the later PT1s and, of course, the PT2s might have an updated base.

ETA: Check this out. I bought the Protank 1 replacement head. I just tried it on the ProVari and it's just as airy as the other ones I have, but maybe what you have are a newer version of the Protank 1. I got mine in February (or very early March 2012).

My Provari should have come with a kayfun beauty ring. How could the geniuses at Provape NOT know that i would top her off with a Kayfun Lite???!
