ProVari and MVP2 are my favorite APVs. I use them both all time. I prefer my ProVari with larger 510 threaded tanks, like Aerotank. I use smaller, 510 and eGo-threaded toppers (Aerotank mini, T3S, eVod) on my MVP2. I just don't care for the look and feel of those bigger (19mm+ diameter) tanks on the MVP. But that's my preference.

If you're happy with your MVP and don't want to spend a lot of money, you don't need a ProVari.

Building your own coils is a different matter altogether.

Happy vaping. :)

The deal is:

Electronically, you may not be able to tell the difference between your MVP and a Provari. If you are looking to find a big change in your vape experience - like you would moving from a VV eGo battery to a Provari - that might disappoint you and make you wonder why you spent the money.

But if you want to or need to upgrade there are good reasons to go Provari: You do get a practically military grade APV constructed out of high quality materials. You get consistent performance right until the Provari shuts down due to low battery. You get company backing that means it can actually be repaired if it ever needs it. You get a one year warranty.

So you get all that for the price of a Provari. Or you can spend 50 dollars less for a lot of APV's out there that only come with a 90 day warranty, no warranty at all if you bought from an unauthorized reseller, and a "Sorry!" if it ever needs repairs. Having spent even $80.00 on a Tesla with a fire button that crapped out within 90 days and only came with a 30 day warranty - I'll never repeat that experience again.

I went through what Rickajho described. Purchased another mod for almost the price of a blemish ProVari and started having problems right away. Got it fixed the first time, but two months later same problem occurred and can not correct it. There is no where to have it repaired so it is now a paper weight!

In hind sight I wish I would have just bit the bullet and got the ProVari the first time and saved the money and the headaches.

Am I satisfied with my ProVari? Yes, so much so that my second one arrived two days ago!

Do I think the ProVari will satisfy everyone's needs/desires? Absolutely not! Different people want different things. As an example you can not sub-Ohm on a ProVari so if you have a desire to do that, it will not suit your needs.

I hope that you find something that means your needs and desires.

I have both an MVP and two Provari's. Both are great devices for what they offer, however I prefer the Provari hands down.

I prefer using a tube shaped device over a box shaped one, its just more comfortable to use and carry about, like in a pocket.

I like knowing that I get a great 1 year warranty, and in the unlikely event that my Provari needs some repair after warranty, I know that Provape will repair it for reasonable cost and have it returned to me in a weeks time. I expect to be using my Provari for many, many years.

Should my MVP need repair, or when the battery eventially dies, it becomes an expensive paperweight. Are there better mods than a Provari out there? Probably. Is a Provari worth the money? It is to me, but that's my experience. It fits my needs perfectly and I liked my first well enough to buy another.

Why Provari? My blog on the Provari

I wouldn't spend the money just to have a povari I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this post but I think their is a lot better technology coming out and up for a whole lot less! I suggest before you buy anything, really compare the specs and limitations of what ever your choosing. Compare it to some of the newer technology chips and see what they actually offer. Some chips actually get upgrades that can be flashed to them. See what they offer and compare. I've never been much on buying something just for the name. I don't care about that. What I do care about is the meat and potatoes of the product and what it has to offer me and my vaping style and what limitations it has. What will I be able to do and not do with the product. If you ever get into building coils you might also look at the resistance limitations .what will it run? What will it not run. Those are just some things that matter to me. I'd rather have a good unit that's less restrictive. It just depends on what YOUR needs are. But know your product and don't just buy for a name. That's my 2cents.

You shouldn't get flack, Sis. If it doesn't fit your vaping style, I absolutely wouldn't get one. As stated earlier though, I'm one of the fortunate ones who is very happy anywhere from 8-11 watts. I'm happy with my toppers, and happy with my hardware. And I'm MOST happy that I can buy a mod if I like it, and not worry about how high it can go.

And I guess that I'm happy I started vaping when I did. I know myself well enough to know that if I'd just started recently, I'd have a new mod every time something with a higher watt capacity came out.

So ultimately, I guess I'm just happy. Queue Pharrell...
