I just got mine today, and I love it. Well worth the money, which actually I have saved by not buying a lot of other stuff inbetween ego twist and provari. No regrets.

While I like my eGos and SDK, pretty much wishing I had just fired on the Provari originally. Would've saved me $100-150. Though thats only about 1/10th of what I've spent in total, its still something. Like a Mini.
I love my ProVari. It is solid and dependable. And it was a big upgrade from my Twists, which I keep as backups now.
The biggest "complaint" I see about the ProVari is the lack of VW. VW would be great if my device could read which juice I have loaded. I do not love all of my juices at the same wattage, so VW just becomes another form of VV for me. So, for me, the ProVari is the best device I own. I hope you enjoy yours.

My advice. Take a look at the other mods out there. Myonly beef with the provari is the unintuitive menu system. I rock a Lavatube V2 just because of that. Provari vs other mods is like Microsoft Windows, versus Apple Mac OS, versus Linux. It is really subjective as to which one you like. Pick one that you are comfortable with, and that fits your price range. Mine just happened to be a Lavatube V2, but it differs for everyone.
Is the Provari the most advanced APV out today? Is it the holy grail of vaping? No. What it is though is a battle tested tank that fires every time you push the button. I no longer use mine as I prefer mechanical mods and low res genesis atomizers(sub ohm coils). They hold their value quite well, they have one of the better warranties on the market(superseded by the top end, and much more expensive mechanical mods).
The provari has a good following, but there are some other good, battle tested mods out there that have 1/2 the price of the Provari. Although provari users do say you get your money's worth out of them...
Mine are only used with the Zatty, otherwise I feel there are far better mods available for different applications.
So Windows is the low end mod du jour, with ever changing functionality and interface. It usually works, but when it doesn't, good luck getting help from anyone who knows what's actually happening beneath the surface. But that's easier than getting help from the manufacturer.
OSX is the Provari. It does everything it needs to, with extremely robust underpinnings (similar to Linux, being BSD,) and a UI that makes things as simple and consistent as possible for the user. It doesn't change a whole lot over time, pushing a single feature or two with each new release, and occasionally a new color scheme when things get stale.
Linux is the... uhm... ok, I have to say, I really want to be able to SSH into my mod right about now. I guess Linux would be a mechanical, eh? I almost said hybrid, but hybrids don't have enough versatility. A mechanical, though, you can use with just about anything right out of the box. But if you throw an RBA on there, and master wicking and coiling, you can really make them shine, and do anything you could possibly want. You just have to know how.
I'm thinking the Evic is Chrome OS, the quirky newcomer that wants to reinvent how we do things, but doesn't really get anything right.

Ok i have huge Provari envey right now lol. Gratz on your new Provari. But i do have a question to the seniors here whats the diff between the reg and the mini lol? I ask because they are the same price!
I initially balked at the price of a Provari. But the more I kept reading all of the great reviews of the Provari mini the more I wanted to try one. I started out with an inexpensive Joyetech eGo-C 1000mah passthrough. After three months I wasn't satisfied so I upgraded to a generic aluminum body 18650 vv mod. The vv mod lasted only 5 five months before the electronic head quit working. The way I thought was that the amount that I had already spent on the Joyetech and the VV mod I could have already paid for a Provari. According to all the reviews that I read and watched the Provari seemed like a well machined & rock solid built device that was going to last way longer than both of the devices that I had previously owned. So I went ahead and purchased the satin silver Provari mini. I feel like I have so many more options with the Provari. I can use carto tanks or rebuildable atty's etc. I'm very happy with the Provari mini. Yes there are cheaper mods out there to be had. But I was tired of spending 50 to 80 dollars here and there for equipment that wouldn't last as long as the Provari. $160 bucks or so and now I'm set for a long time to come. Although I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a real GG Stealth.

... And an 18350 battery is too small for the Provari. Other than length to fit 18350, 18490, and 18650 batteries, they're the same.
The finish is the most obvious thing. The standard uses and 18490, while the mini uses an 18350. Each has an extension option, the mini's taking it up to an 18490, and the standard up to an 18650. Even with the extension, the mini is a little shorter than a standard. Almost a quarter of an inch. The 18350, 18490, and 18650 that Provape recommends are 700mah, 1100mah, and 2000mah respectively. There's an aftermarket, polished stainless steel extension that allows 18650 in the mini. Personally, I think it looks kind of funky, while the Provape extensions are pretty seamless.
ok thanks folks for that answer but now you have me with anothr question lol. Whats the diff in those batteries?
I tried to ignore this one. Oh well. ProVari is a very well built unit. They are on the high end, but to me it was worth my peace of mind. They are one of the best made devices out there. I own the mini and use a 18350 battery. The difference is basically how long each battery will last. I use 3 of them in rotation. With the mini I can stealth vape.
