There are so many GREAT PV's available now its mind blowing, Check out ALL your options even though its hard to get pass the Pro-vari "fan boy" wave that has taken over the new members section lately.

I like to think and shop around first before buying, looking at everything out there :)

^x2 provari is such a overhyped device

A battery is a battery is a battery, or is it? Look, there are a million and one opinions out there and I fully understand that some will say Provari all the way just due to what I like to call the "Mercedes" effect. Some people will buy a Mercedes just because it is expensive and that works for them even though you can most likely get a less expensive car with all the same and sometimes more options. However, I bought a ZMAX and instantly fell in love, even with all the issues that it has. I then bought and iTaste and again found my new favorite device, but continued using the Zmax as well. For Christmas, my wife wanted a Provari due to the extended battery life and the fact that the Pink matched her Purse. Well once I got her rig all set up and ready for her I finally realized what all the "hype" was all about and within two days had my own. I love Variable Wattage devices for the convenience, and still use the Zmax from time to time for this reason but can honestly use the Provari "most" of the time and is generally my go-to device. I love that thing. It never fails me, feels great in the hand, build quality is second to none and to date my hands down favorite even though I have to keep an eye on the voltage depending on the atty I have installed. I'm the type of vapor that switches atty's and flavors all day long and its never been a problem for me to compensate for the lack of Wattage setting on the provari. DONT GET ME WRONG, I wish more than anything that Provape would add this feature and if they ever do I will be the first in line to but a new device.

I fully understand that everyone is different and our needs vary greatly, but if you are even slightly intrigued about the possibility of getting a Provari and have the expendable cash, I say go for it. I think that very few people that spend the premium to have one regret it.

And some will try to force feed it down members throats, Its getting really old, just saying :)

lol oh you kids.

believe it or not your not noticing a sudden influx of provari fans. this forum has had the same "problem" since the provari came out. and the reason for this is that the provari is a good variable voltage device, and the 1st of its kind in many ways. when it first came out, we were stacking batteries to get to 6 volts in our mechanical mods, and regulated 5 volt mods were showing up. the provari went above + beyond.

If you flash forward to today, the new members of the forum, 1st of all they don't remember those days. 2nd of all they see all of the cheaper variable voltage devices out there and they don't know why the heck the provari is so damn popular. It shouldn't be. there are better devices. Right? That can be argued for. and it is argued over, every day, on ecf. This won't be the last. A thread was just closed yesterday, this thread will probably be closed soon as well. This conversation is getting old, but you'll get used to it.

OP- You don't need a Provari. And people will tell you that the Provari is the best VV PV. Others will tell you its over rated. And some will even admit that they dislike it all together and they believe there are better VV PVs on the market. Only you can do the research. You can either listen to everyone that stops by this thread to make an opinionated comment, or you can watch a video of a electrician scope the provari and compare it to other variable voltage mods and make your opinion based off of those cumulative reviews. Either way, it is my opinion that you should seek out and read + watch reviews from people with electricity knowledge backgrounds.

Do you need one? Absolutely not. The mods on the market today are all fantastic mods.
Are there positives to owning a provari that you might like over owning other mods? This is a possibility.
Are there positives to owning a Zmax or Evic or Smax or Vamo over owning a provari? This is a possibility.
Those are up to YOUR opinions after you've reviewed reviews.

And thats all there is to it.

If you are not into reviews and you'll take MY word on this matter: The provari scopes out differently from other mods. It has differences. Those differences make a lot of people that I look up to feel they support the provari over other mods. How big is the difference? Miniscule in my opinion. lol. Its a small difference. And I know for a fact that if you order a different vv mod, its going to satisfy you as far as vape quality. When it comes to build quality, that is something only YOU can make a decision or educated guess about. All of the mods on the market today are built to work and not break. lol. The provari matches the usual 1 year warranty that most mods have, but it also has a repair service after that initial year. For instance if you screen cracks it is 15 dollars plus shipping and handling to have you screen fixed after the 1st year. If you scratch or dent your battery tube, I believe it is 45 dollars + s&h. So that is one of the main reasons I purchased my provari. I can get it fixed in 6 years if something does break on it. The decision rests in your (hopefully educated by techy reviewers) hands.

I bought one and I love it, but besides some TERRIBLE mods that I bought years ago, I can't honestly compare it to other quality PV's that are now around.

I was done buying stuff that I wouldn't use. I went to the ProVari for it's mostly positive reviews.

I'm very satisfied! Was it a necessity, no...am I glad I did it, absolutely!

Why do you need to ask us if you need another PV? Are you unhappy with theone you have? Are you looking for a backup? Are you just curious about the Provari? Are you starting a collection? Only you have the answers. I can tell you I love the look feel construction, consistency of the Provari. I love Provapes customer service. I like their warranty. I like that its American. I like it so much I bought another. I might start an army of them. I might clean out Provapes inventory. Am I a fangirl? Yes and happy to be. I LOVE my Provaris!!! They are saving my life .

Hello guys... Need ur opinion... Now i've already own a Segilei Zmax with 2.5ml Vivi Nova... Do you guys think i should buy another one (provari) as my 2nd PV?

First I commend you for someone new for considering a up scale ecig and bypassing simple starter kits hence saving money in the long run. Nothing against starter kits after all its how I started as many of us have. Hindsight is 20/20 :) I wish I'd started with a top end mod. Btw the Provari is a good and popular PV but you might also consider a bottomfeeder for ease, convience and dependability like a REO. :)


Good luck!

Not to be repetitive but....

Do you need one? No.
Neither did I. But I'm sure glad I got one! I haven't tried any other VV device, so take it for what it's worth, but I'm completely satisfied with mine and think it's great. Is it the best? I have no idea. But if you can afford it it's definitely not a bad choice to go with.

I'm asking the same questions as the OP. And I'll probably go with the Provari based on warranty and ability to get it repaired. Most of the complaints,in my experience,seem to come from little things crapping out(switches,screens, etc), as opposed to, catastrophic failure(battery explodes etc). Also, I'm addicted to nicotine, and don't want to be caught short with something that is going to frustrate me. It has to work. I've spent more time try to figure this out, than I spent when I bought my house.:confused:
