Check the clearance page on the ProVapes site. They sell "blems" which are brand new models that supposed have cosmetic flaws, but those of us who have them haven't been able to find the flaws.
Thankyou :)

Provari - 6
Zmax - 0
Lavatube - 0
Will stop until CNY ends.

Where is the best vendors offers an affordable Provari?

Is anyone basing their choices on VV and/or VW :pop:

I started looking at the VAMO because VW really intrigued me - I liked the idea of "set it and forget it," except the more I thought about it, I realized I wouldn't. I'd be adjusting watts, just as much as volts to find my "sweet spot." :2c:

Wouldn't matter to me, I don't need variable wattage (VW). The only reason VW would be useful is if you use a variety of different resistance (ohm rating) delivery devices or you have an RBA. All my delivery devices have the same ohm rating.

Once you've been vaping for a while, you learn what resistance works best for the wattage you vape at. The majority of the people vape around 8-9 watts, so the 2.5-3.0 ohm delivery devices will provide the widest range of voltages that you might use.

The "variety" may not be that big. It can also be about the different juices. I can appreciate that you wouldn't feel a need for variable wattage since you use the same ohms all the time, but a lot of people use different ohms, or switch from one kind of clearo to another. I've used variable voltage and variable wattage, and prefer variable wattage. Actually people vape at a wider range of watts than the narrow limit of 8-9 watts that you stated. I'd say anywhere between 5 - 11 watts, and then a few people like to go higher than that. I base that on the numerous posts I've read by variable wattage users.

I prefer variable wattage over variable voltage because I can switch from one accessory to another and stay at the same watts. Or I can adjust watts and not worry about calculating whether the volts are ok with the ohms - the device adjusts the volts automatically to the right level.

I can also adjust watts with different juices, and again not worry about volts and ohms being mismatched since it adjusts the volts automatically. Since I have a lot of different juices this works well for me. Sometimes I just change the watts with the same juice - depending whether I want it a little cooler, or I feel like getting the warmer taste. I like some juices at more than one temperature. So I adjust the watts, which is the power, with a simple click or two and vape.

For those who use RBAs (rebuildable atomizers), variable watts also means that although the resistance of their RBA may change (which sometimes happens), the watts remain constant with a vw pv, as it automatically adjusts the voltage to maintain the same power output. I experienced this with one of my mods just last night when vaping using a Phoenix RBA. The coil on the RBA was shorting a bit so the resistance kept changing - but the pv stayed on 7.5 watts regardless of the changing resistances. Of course ideally an RBA is coiled better than that, but they can change in resistance.

Variable wattage is one of the most convenient developments in vaping. Its like having cruise control.

Guess I'll add my 2 cents worth . I have had several Lava's , all were broken , within 3 months . I presently have a Vamo , and an Evic , as well as a Provari . And I like them all for different reasons . If money is an issue , then hands down , the Vamo is the right choice , whether you use VW or not . If money is no object , and you don't care about VW , then the Provari , is the way to go . Mine has never failed yet , Had it for over a year now , and no issues at all . Had the Vamo , and Evic for several months , and so far , so good . Although the Evic menu system , kinda stinks , but at least you can update your firmware , yourself . I just upgraded mine to 1.2 today. Menu works alot better now . Good Luck .
