I want a v.v. tube mod, but I don't want to drop $175 on a provari. (I realize everyone has their own best vape) but I want the opinion of others on what would be comparable to a provari in performance, just a little cheaper. Just give your opinion and I'll research what best fits my needs.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
p.s.
I already have a Vamo. I just want a primary vape, and use the Vamo as a back-up.
I went from the Vamo to the Provari,do it you won't be sorry

Your not going to find the kind of quality your looking for for cheap.
A basic ProVari costs 159.00 with free shipping, a full years warranty and affordable repair cost after the warranty runs out.
There is nothing else in that price range your going to get for that kind of service.

A little solder and a new battery will fix a dead MVP. Only problem I have with it is the firing pin is really low..really low.

Edit. Look at the vape pro. All advertised features were tested by a scopemeter by me, and they were dead on..the voltage output was ~+0.1 volts off..but that is no problem for me..better than negative. RMS frequency at 33.3kHz, as told in specifications.

This. It just depends on your skill-set. Vamo? I can't make new threads when they get stripped. MVP? I can replace a non-replaceable battery no problem.

If you have no skills like this, no big deal, just buy the Provari and pay them when (if) it needs to be fixed. But I do have to wonder. What is it that everyone does with their broken APVs? Do you just toss it or do you give them away to people who can fix them or possibly turn them into mech-mods?

No one has answered my question. Where do you get the special battery replacement for the MVP? I've never seen a battery like this before.

I apologize I didnt read through all these posts but..... "same performance of the Provari"...for cheap ? Let me answer this question with another question ok ?

What Ford automobile do I buy to give me the performance and handling of a Porshe Carrera GT ?

( not a fanboy, just own a couple and they just set a rather high bar for me)

I don't have the battery in hand so I cannot tell you. I have a long list of wholesale electronics suppliers that I use and am confident that if the item is being mass-produced, is of an electronic nature, then I can get my hands on a replacement. :)

It's not a consumer grade battery for sure. That doesn't mean it can't be purchased. You just won't be able to purchase it through amazon or x retailer. :)

It's my guess that it is a proprietary battery made special just for Innokin and the MVP. I'll be highly surprised if you can find a replacement. But good luck. If you are successful, you likely could begin your own business replacing MVP batteries when they die. :)

Sigelei Zmax V3 telescopic flat top. Tube length is adjustable depending on the battery in use. Use 18350, 2x18350, 18490, 18500 or 18650. Here it is with a 18500 inside. I've been using mine every day for six months and loving it.

I agree, the Zmax is awesome.. I have a V5.. They're selling the V3's pretty cheap now.. I saw them at venerablevaping for $35..

Provari for the win!

They all look like this until they are encased in an enclosure. How do you think laptop and cell phone batteries are able to be shaped in so many different ways?
