hi fellow Vapers....

i am contemplating between a Silver Bullet OR a Provari, mainly because of its battery life for a day of vaping...

but what would be a better choice in regards to durability,cost worthy,flexibility on cartomizers and/or atomizers, and oso if i would like to have a high voltage battery what ohm cartomizers would you guys recommend???as i plan to actually order from different online stores and customise 1 PV that suits my lifestyle...

Cheers Mate

The difference between the Provari and SB are immense. The P is variable voltage while the SB is 3.7 volts. How much do you you smoke per day and what brand. I know many friends that use the Kgo and the batt lasts all day. Seeing as you're in Singapore the E-Power (3.7) might be a better choice as it's not as large as the P or SB and the batteries can be easily bought 2 for $9.00. The P and the SB are not something you'd want to vape with in public in Singapore.

Hello. The SB and Provari are two entirely different PVs.
They both have different strengths and weaknesses.
You need to decide if you want variable voltage or fixed voltage.
Both of them are durable. The SB is more durable because it is simpler.
The SB will give longer battery life because a fixed voltage PV will give longer battery life.
The Provari is more flexible because it is variable voltage, but both of them accept the same cartomizers, atomizers, etc.
They are both at the top of their class, but they are in different classes.
You will need a backup PV regardless of which PV you get. So get both of them.
If I was where you are, I would get the more discreet Baby Bullet instead.

Both mods have a great reputation.My choice is the provari get yourself the 18650 batteries and your set for long vape times.This way you can make any of the cartos work out well for you you will have the capability to change you volts.Thay are very solid build they will take a woopen.The provari mini is a good option if you want something smaller with the same options.Get the lomger tube then it takes the 18490's for a good run time.

I'd certainly use a cheap ecig on the street and the high priced ecig at home only.

Silver Bullet is a fixed 3.7v, same as a Riva, but a little higher than an eGo, but with batteries that last much longer.

The Provari can use any resistance carto or atomizer. It's 2.9v to 6v variable. Provari uses IMR safe chemistry batteries.

LOL yes some don't understand the laws in Singapore. I owned a Provari and rarely used it HOWEVER I have some friends that use it because of the stronger hit. The LT is ok...you get what you pay for IMHO. I'm expecting variable volts to drop in price very soon so if you're patient...if you're smoking 2 PAD I'd suggest the P because of the build quality. Between the eGo and the SB there's really not much of a difference so I would rule that one out. So spend lots of $$ for a P or less $$ for the LT. I guess it boils down to "how fat is your wallet"?
Good Luck.

thanks sailorman...but i am not too sure i will need variable voltage as i think low voltage would not do me any TH and i need a higher voltage....SB is fixed at 3.7 volt only????

If you don't need variable voltage, don't pay for variable voltage. The SB is fixed at 3.7V unless you stack batteries in it for 6V, or 7.4V. That is something you shouldn't do unless you know what you are doing. It can be dangerous. Either one will last you all day, but I wouldn't want to have either one as my only PV. Too much risk of loss or theft.

TH comes mostly from nicotine level, not voltage. If you already have a smaller, fixed voltage PV, I would say get a cheaper variable voltage until you learn what it's all about and whether it's worth it to you to spend $200+ for a Provari. A Lavatube ver. 1.5 does 95% of what a Provari does for < 1/3 the price. It will last long enough for you to evaluate what you need in a high end APV. If you decide to get a Provari, you'll still have the LT for public use and backup.

I've never tried a Silver Bullet, but I've only ever heard great things about them. I can't much speak on their behalf. I do, however, have a Provari. And as for durability, I thought my GLV2 was built like a tank until I got this. You could do the Silver Bullet with LR cartos or a kick to get those clouds of vapor. To me though, one of the best parts about the Provari is the battery check function. That way, I can throw my battery on the charger as soon as it drops below 3.5 volts or so.

The Silver Bullet, I imagine would be a great investment, as well as the Provari. But I agree with the above post in that, if you're looking to try VV, pick up a Lava Tube before you spend $200+ on a Provari. I imagine the Lava Tube would be a great backup to keep around if you go with a Provari afterwards.
