Most regulated devices won't fire anything with a resistance lower than 1.2ohm, some have a limit of 1.5ohm I think. As long as you keep it in the range the device can fire you can use an rba on any APV.
Provari should, in theory, handle anything at 1 ohm or above. There's just no need to go sub-ohm if you're vaping with a VV device, tho.
As for the eVic, keep in mind that the ProVari and eVic both have buttons and screens and that's about as far as the similarities go. eVic won't fire above 1.5 ohms and the ProVari has a much higher build quality.
The z-atty is nice, but it's pretty pricey. If you want to start experimenting with rebuildables, I would suggest getting an inexpensive dripper clone (such as an IGO-L) and learning the ropes of winding coils and testing resistance before you make a major investment in a top-of-the-line genesis style RBA. Gennies are wonderful, but extremely finicky - I spend as much time rebuilding it as a I do vaping it, because it's a hobby. Once you get the hang of coiling and how different wires and winds (28, 30, 32 awg, 4/3 vs 5/4, etc.) will change your experience, then go crazy. You might also find that it's just too much fuss and be happy running protanks or vivinovas - you're getting 95% of the performance, really.
Hope this helps you out. Happy vaping!!!

I think he meant RDA
If so of course you can.
You must stay above 1.3 ohms on a Provari
Since its variable voltage anyways. I wrap at 1.5 ohms
To drip on my Provari.
Actually it performs very well.
Like it wouldn't anyways

+1 on the IGO-L recommendation
Very easy to set it up.
Having a Provari will help you build a nice safe coil.
*Tip*
After you wrap a coil up.
Don't cut the wire till after you check the ohm load.
This way you can always unscrew it and add or
delete a coil to get it where you want it.
After a few builds you will just know what to
wrap. How many coils to do to hit 1.5 exactly.
But always test them on your Provari or ohm meter
before you attach it to say a mechanical mod.
Mechanical mods have no protection.

I'm running an AGA T2 on my provari running steady at 1.1 ohms and it fires just fine. Because of the 3.5 amp limit, I can't set the voltage higher than 3.8 volts though. Anything higher than the 3.5 amp limit and you will start getting E1,E2,etc. errors. I believe the Provari will read atty resistance up to 0.8 ohms...anything lower and it will read "LO" on the display.
I'm planning on buying a provari mini next week, im trying to decide if I should buy the atomizer at the same time. Would it be worth the money?
the zap looks pretty on the provari but i do not think it is worth the asking price(just my opinion).
save yourself some money and get one of the cheaper genesis tanks to learn on, some people do not like genesis style and that is a lot of money to find out if it is for you, if you do like it, then you can always go back and get the zap.
While genis provide a superior vape there is a little more paying attention involved and they arent quite as carefree as a clearo or carto etc.

Hey guys I need some help trouble shooting with my cobra clone (DID) on the provari.
So I've wrapped many coils on it before, fought it for about a month before I got it down pat having to learn all the ends and out of what to and what not to do with the coils. Now I'm great at it I've gotten to the point where I don't really have to add or adjust coils once I get done building it. I can even actually make a coil almost spot on to the resistance I'm wanting to get the first the first try when I wrap a coil without having to add or remove and coils on there usually within about a .1 difference. They even glow all together at the same time sometimes without having slide coils up or down or if I do it's only a very little bit. Been running them on my provari and on my vamo and on my lava tube for 3-4 months now and for some reason now my provari will not fire the rba at all no matter what the resistance is I've gone from the lowest resistance possible on it all the way to the highest resisance possible in .1 increments thinking maybe it has to be one certain resistance to work. But now it won't fire it or any other kind of rba and I can't figure it out why, cause it runs on my vamo and it has a 1.6 resistance and it runs on my lava tube just perfectly. It won't even show me a resistance on my provari it just says "OP" when I go to look at the resistance and I've tried many different coils with it since it quit working with it. It was almost always ran on my provari before before cause I just love the pro vari. Does anyone know what this could be? It just blows my mind I've tried everything I know of and still nothing it literally went from working to not. And it will fire any other kind of smoking device like my cartos both low and high ohms heck even a hh357 but not the rba a of any sort. Is there something that I maybe changed on the menu without knowing it?
Thanks.

hye,try check ur positive pin on ur cobra clone. sometime its been push up further that making it impossible to make contact with ur provari. try loosen up three the nuts on top and push it down a little bit. ur positive pin must at least flushed with the 510 connector.
p/s: sorry for my bad english.
Z-atty on a Provari looks amazing, but again, it is very pricey. Where as you could get an aga-t2 or a DUI for a quarter of the price and have it work the same.... It's all about experimenting and finding exactly what you like
Got an iGo-L on my Provari right now. I chose it over an expensive one, because I didn't know if an RDA would even be for me. Turns out it is for me, at least so far.
Hmm. So lots of people have them on their provari but I'm still trying to decide if I get a provari or a mechanical. Some people were telling me having a RBA on a provari is useless. I have an ego twist. Should I go provari?
Don't know anything about mechanical but the Provari was the best investment i have made so far.
The only reason I can see a Provari (or any other APV) being useless for a RBA/RDA is if you're going below the amp limit. Me, I have no plans for going below 1.5ohms, so the amp limit is no concern. Did they say why it's useless? As to if you should get a Provari, that's a personal choice. There are many reasons I have mine, but they may not be yours. I got mine for build, reliability, warranty, and feel. Can you afford one? If so, I'd give them a close look. You see few people not liking their Provari or having problems with them. That says a lot to me.
Edit: I don't own a mech, but I if you get one, you'll need some way to measure resistance.

I used a Z-Atty Pro and that worked fine but I don't use it anymore because the draw on the Z-atty is way to airy for my liking.
I use a smoktech RSST with 32 GA kanthal, and I wrap about 6 times for a mean of 2.5 ohm coils. These work nicely, because as they oxidize, their resistance goes right up, and right now, my 1 month old coil is sitting at 2.8 ohms, and plays nicely on a Provari @ 6 volts. However, I have heard a rumor or two, and I will confirm this when my Shan Mod gets in with the DNA20D, that it plays really, really well with sub-ohm coils, and will essentially, as Phil Busuardo states it "becomes a protected mechanical, dumping whatever your battery has on the coil". (Opus-D review). However, as you increase the watts on the DNA, it supposedly will dump regulated power to a sub-ohm coil! But when I read the data sheet it did not conform to Phil's readings, so I will do my own test, maybe with some ribbon wire? I don't own a mechanical BTW, as I find them to be pricey, when I have a provari, and plenty of Kanthal to take care of it. Just get your resistance up, and you will be good. Always check for shorts with a regulated device, not a mechanical, as, well.. It can either melt in your hand or explode, none are pleasant.
If your new to building coils, a regulated device that won't go BOOM if you make a mistake may be the wise choice. If you do go with a mechanical mod, just make sure you know the limitations of your batteries and how to safely build and test your coils before you stick them on the mod.
