Provari??

That just shows you good solid craftsmanship will can always be depended on no matter what.

I really have to agree with that sentiment. Good solid craftsmanship and pride in workmanship...the cornerstones of anything worth having.

Let me share an example, here. Take a look at this uniform:

Now, really zoom in and notice the attention to detail, the precision stitching, and the painstaking commitment to quality.

I must congratulate you Sir Eddard, your sacrifice in the painstaking examination of that picture is to be commend but then good craftsmanship is worth the untiring attention you devoted to it.

It is a labor that is not absent tangible reward. It takes a discerning eye, and researching photo after photo painstakingly...but, such is my commitment to reinforcing the excellent point you made.

Thank you for noticing.

Because of this post, I am totally going to look into this awesome device. For about $50 I can get some decent circuitry that with some modding I ought to be able to make my own box mod with a good 510 connector (might even use Provape's eGo adapter). Yes...this thing might be worth it for the parts. I'll have to figure out how to make it use regular rechargeable batteries though.

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

I watch the classys quite regularly and I see no more than usual. In fact, I've seen this same question asked several times over the years. The Reo people as as passionate over their chosen device as the Provari people are about theirs.. and there is another batch of woodvils coming soon.. so People are trying to free up some cash to get in on the woodvils. Plus sometimes people just want another color or maybe they want something else. Even IF Provape comes out with a VW version.. I won't be selling mine to get one.

I have no interest in a woodvil.. I bought a vv woodvil a couple years ago and could never get the wood/varnish smell out of it and couldn't use it. Too much money to sit here unused. I now have a metal Grand/RM2 and while I do enjoy it and am glad I bought it.. sometimes I kinda get tired of squonking every few vapes. It has made a nice addition to my vaping collection and is used regularly but it hasn't replaced my Provari's. (or my Rollers)

This might be tough to answer unless, you've had both for a length of time?
Are Poldiac mods in the same class as Provari? I don't mean as your favorite but, does the science or technology prove one over the other? Civil now. Let's be civil

I'm sorry. I should have searched first. I see there already is a thread. My bad.

Poldiac mods are more work both in your time spent cleaning it and in terms of having to buy a kick device to make it vv. But it all depends on if you want better looks or better functionality.
I would compare each to the other and decide for yourself. Only you know what would make you happy.

They are completely unrelated. The Poldiac is a mechanical mod. What a mechanical mod is is a tube to hold the battery, and a metal pin system to hold the connectors for your atomizer, and connectors for your battery... and that's it. No checking the ohms, no screen, no way to tell if your battery is about to die, no way to set the voltage, you get ALL the voltage the battery can put out, based on the ohms on your atomizer. The longer you vape, the more you drain the battery, the worse your vape gets.

To make it a regulated mod, you get a small mechanical device called a kick (I think the Poldiac comes with the kick included in the price). This does NOT give you a screen, it just ensures you get a more regulated supply of power from the battery (so you don't accidentally blow up from a bad atomizer), and it controls the amount of power you get. You buy that separately. What you are paying for is a beautifully machined metal tube with a design. Here's a video of the Poldiac:


A Provari is a completely different fully controllable unit. You can adjust your volts (power that affects the strength of your juice, amount of vapor, flavor, etc) up and down. You can use it to check the battery level, the atomizer level, it lights up every time you push the button and it flashes every time you need to change the battery. It does this incredibly consistently and well. Other than this control, it too is a fancy metal tube.

So think of a Poldiac a a racing bicycle, and most PV (Sigelei, Vamos, etc) as a car, and a Provari as a Rolls Royce... which is hand built top quality, and slow as molasses but handbuilt, solid parts, and will last forever. The DNA20 everyone's talking about is a controller that's more like a race car. It's fast, it's powerful, it breaks more easily, and it's more delicate (so I've heard, don't have one).

Heck... if you could just figure out how to change the MVP2's battery... you wouldn't need to mod it.

Not a fan of ketchup packet style LiIon/LiPo batteries.

I bought my 1st sight unseen, loved it at 1st sight! It was a mini, then I bought a full size since I never want to be without a back-up. Then I bought another mini because I wanted a pink one! Now I have listed my full size in the classifieds because I really do prefer the mini and ordered a bronze mini! I went from sight unseen to collector in no time flat.

To the OP:
...and this is why you see so many ProVari's in the classies.

laugh all you want. For the cost of a provari, I can have a sigeli zmax v5, and a kicked nzonic clone, both warrantied for 3 years including if I do something stupid and break them. and have money left over for a new RBA

I'm so happy for ya. and that 'RBA' ....... wow! And KICKED too? Whoa! All the folks who don't know what "RBA and KICKED" means .... not to worry. It's only for the "special vaping crowd". In other words ........ "whatz a freakin' RBA"? "KICKED" who? And "WHY"? I ask for the multitudes who REALLY have NO idea; we are not all so "advanced".

PROVARI .......... made in AMERICA by a gent who actually explained here on ECF WHY it is so "expensive". I doubt we shalll ever see Chuckie the Chinaman tells us why "his" is so "cheap" ...... errr..... "inexpensive".

Or........ as a diplomatic member (surely not me!) put it in another thread: "Zmax is a great device, ProVari is even better. One thing about the ProVari, the full size Provari is about 1/4 of an inch taller than the Zmax mini, when the Provari is in 18490 mode. So now you three choices, ProVari, ProVari Mini, and Zmax mini. ProVari if it doesn't hurt you financially, otherwise Zmax mini until you can swing the ProVari. Then the Zmax will make a nice backup or just a nice other device." Just readin'............ just quotin' ..... no offense intended.

Correct.

And option to purchase a second year extension if you desire one at time of purchase.

Lifetime warranty? No. Lifetime support? Yes. You can get a Provari serviced for very reasonable fees after warranty for as long as you own the mod. Typical repair turnaround time is 1 week from being sent into Provape and back to your home.

Post-Warranty Standard Service Repair Costs

Replace Window and screws- $10.00
Replace Circuit Board - $65.00
Upgrade to V2 - $20.00
Replace plastic pushbutton - $5.00
Repairs to the circuit board - $25.00
Cleaning - $20.00
Replace top cap - $15.00
Broken Cartomizer Service - $10.00
Return shipping within the USA - $5.00

Try getting that type of customer support with any Chinese made mod. As a matter of fact, try getting that from ANY manufacturer other than Provape regardless of where its from.

I LOVE IT when someone factually "kicks ...."! Well done - VERY well done!

Gimme a big old, "AMEN"!

PROVARI .......... "Built because they CARE"!
