SM V3 Semovar VS Provari

[Thunderball]

Well, I have that exact same kit from Cloud 9, but suppose I could still make room for another one if you don't like it. What am I saying? Of course, you'll like it. It's not only everything you might want a Provari to be, but add the hybrid connection and the mechanical mod pieces and you have a three in one PV/APV that is currently unrivaled, imho. Just yesterday, after watching YouTube videos of both the Semovar and the Provari, I asked the missus to "choose" her Christmas present. She selected the Mini Provari in Titanium White with Blue LED and extension cap (saving me about $100 for the Semovar kit ). However, had she selected the Semovar, I would have been equally delighted. I added the kayfun Mini 2.1 to my Christmas Wish List, along with my Origen Dripper and Commercial Ultrasonic Cleaner. I like playing at this vaping level and couldn't be happier. It took me a long time to get here, and I'm not going back. Something about prying them from my cold dead fingers, etc. Enjoy your new gear, I know you'll love it (PM me if you don't PLEASE). I can definitely see having a brushed Semovar as my backup to my polished Semovar. Works for me. Couldn't be happier for you! Happy vaping!

If Im Mr Bond, Gonna start calling you "Q" ( The man with all the cool toys from MI-6)

"I'll try to bring it back in one piece Q" ....

I have a question, and no I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything.

If my mod breaks down how do they handle warranty issues and what's the turn around time? Also do you have to send it back to Russia?

If it's within warranty you would go through the place you bought it, VapeRev in the US, Cloud9 in the UK or SM in Russia. No idea about turn around time.

So no out of warranty repair service? That's one big minus vs the Provari where you can get service and a turn around time measured in days in most cases.

I have no idea about out of warranty repair, you would need to check with the dealers.

It is modular so the only bit you need worry about is the chip, top caps and tubes can be replaced as single items at around $15-20 each.

Another big minus is the Semovar can't tune a guitar.

Well... I did it. I just ordered a Kayfun to go with it. Please, somebody stop me.

No one's gonna stop you here.... they'll just cheer you on and ask you for pictures of your new "shiny"

For those new purchasers, I find battery life is lower in VW mode, I only use it to set up a new tank or juice, then switch it into VV mode to vape. Also the last bar lasts much longer than you expect.

I just saw that SM gives a 1 year warranty for the semovar (saw the text on SvoeMesto | Highend Selbstwickelverdampfer und Akkuträger) - that's great news, I was unable to figure out or find the length of their warranty. I guess i should learn to read the small text better.

I never sell anything I break out my cheapest pice of crap Vari Volt 350 sometimes and vape it.

You do have quite a list there Impressive!
Unfortunately, I can't get away with keeping so much stuff as the missus will notice the accumulation and will tear me a new one
And then, I know that I will probably not care much for the lower end stuff as the ProVari and the Semovar will produce much better vapor and will be more enjoyable to use. I might as well sell the stuff I will never use to someone who will use it instead of filling my office drawers. And the money will come in handy to buy liquid and get another Kayfun down the line. But that's just my take on it.

Any device will have lower battery life with VW. Haven't noticed the last bar much, working too much

That's try due VV being one constant output and VW constantly adjusting.
