First I will start off in saying I am impressed by not only the Provape company, but by their product line and the quality of such.
I am quite satisfied by the features of my Provari and all it has to offer. It is built like a brick
house, it has a heavy feel to it, and it is made of quality components, including the chip set.
While this post is not intended to offer anything more than information, it will probably start a debate, bring out a bunch of Provari haters, etc., if that is the result, I cannot help that as what I am about to write is fact, not my opinion. As a matter of record I try never to post anything that is hypothesis or theory but rather substantiated fact.
I highly doubt that Provape will ever produce a Variable Watt model here is why:
I watching the review of the dna 20 chip set which features VW as opposed to VV, that’s right you can vary the wattage, not the voltage; the chip set automatically varies the voltage based on the atomizers resistance, and supposedly it has safety circuitry to prevent an excessive over wattage setting by the user.
I have only been able to find essentially what is a user’s manual with the pc board pin outs, and some technical references regarding maximums and minimums, etc. I have not been able to find any specifications from Evolv that gives the data such as “it samples resistance of the atomizer 10,000 times a minute, or per second” it use an ABC processor capable of x number of instruction sets per second…and yes even phones have a CPU, as so does a VV or VW mod.
Here is all I could find technically about the DNA 20 Chip Set by Evolv
Now then it is simple, if the chip set regardless of the wattage you choose only supplies the recommended voltage based on resistance of the atomizer coil, you really have gained nothing, and in fact have lost the ability to tweak you own vaping experience as you can with a Provari, which has voltage stabilization circuitry to compensate for battery drain.
It also goes back to basic electrical theory and Ohms law, which I will not waste my time going back over again, as it has been explained here several times before.
Wattage is a measurement of consumption of electricity, and is directly related to electrical resistance, and the load placed on an electrical circut.
Voltage is the amount of electricity.
Amperage is the force of the electricity.
You have a high intensity flash light with a 10 watt halogen bulb, it has X number of battery cells in it.
When you turn it on with a burned out bulb how much wattage or electricity is being consumed by the 10 watt bulb?
The above being said how can one vary the wattage when a resistance coil is heated, thus causing a change in resistance, which will vary depending on the time it is heated, air temperature, and e-liquid, thus the given wattage will vary, because the load or consumption has changed.
Of course intelligent electronics can control this, but what will you gain if voltage output is based on measured resistance and set wattage (if you could really set wattage)?
The answer is nothing except a mod that will perform acceptably providing it has battery stabilization circuitry as well.
If you cannot increase the wattage beyond a certain level, because this so called VW system is regulating and safeguarding the voltage based on the atomizers resistance you have just shot yourself in both feet.
Therefore I highly doubt that if side by a Provari and a Futura* were compared based on their performance one could say they had a better vaping experience from the Futura*, especially based on its suggest market price. It is American made, however it has an all-aluminum tube design, and it sports about a $260.00 price tag without any accessories or batteries.
*The Futura was used as an example of a mod that is entirely American made and features the DNA 20 chip set,nothing more, nothing less.

Therefore my answer is simple, I will be VERY happy being a VV, Provari owner!
The Choice is Clear!
