SM V3 Semovar VS Provari

[Ref Minor]

^I like how you added.."vs the retail price" in your statement.

It was there from the start, I wasn't judging which was the better mod (obviously any right thinking person can see that's the Semo as I now own one ) but just the value vs new, tbh if I saw a black mini Pro with extension cap at a better value price I might have gone for that.

I know. I'm not a Pro-fanboi..don't worry.. I just thought it was funny that you had to include comparing the actual value of the two with percentage difference in price..that's all.

Well, they are an overly sensitive bunch, so it's probably for the best.

Now that is funny. Especially when you consider the rather sensitive source.



Tapped out

The Samovar looks very nice. But I want very simple things, reliability and a great vape. So, my American dollars are going to stay in the good ol' US of A...I'll probably buy 15 more Provari's before I die unless they start sucking; which I doubt they will.

I received mine from Vaporev today. I've spent a couple of hours with it so far and am very impressed with the performance and build quality.

Nice post count irwink...lol It'll probably change before you read this. ^^^

Can someone post a good shot of a satin finished semovar? Also, anything come out about other finishes? I've been trying to figure out how to get in touch with svoemesto, but today is the first day I'm on my computer in a while. So I'm sure I can navigate an English version of their site from here.. I really want it in black. I think I've been holding out that something will be announced about it, but I guess I can just get another one when new finishes come out.. I will have one ordered by next Friday.

This is the semi polished Semovar with a semi polished Kayfun. Sorry the pic is so small.

I bought mine from Cloud 9 but I think SvoeMesto has a 1 year guarantee. They service it also here is a link Батарейный блок «SvoёMesto» v3 (β) ― SvoёMesto


Here is a link to the instruction manual. Батарейный блок «SvoёMesto» v3 (β) ― SvoёMesto

Id say having to send it to Germany or Russia where ever is a bit of a drag for Americans. At least it can be repaired. If you email SvoeMesto they are pretty quick to answer questions.

That's their point of failure, website isn't even in English. Alot of people buy Provaris for the amount of support they get. If I can't even read their site it might not be for me.

To be fair Provapes Russian Language site doesn't exactly exist.

Try the US distributor
Semovar Mod - SvoëMesto - Variable Voltage - Devices

Or the UK one which has a larger range and better info
SvoeMesto - Cloud 9 Vaping

Gee thanks Ref Minor, darn it. I may be posting later today. Oh man.

The Semo is a lovely machine and beautifully engineered. The only fault I have is that battery life is a little low in constant VW mode, but if you use the VW to set to a tank or juice and then switch to VV mode it pretty much sorts that out.

Oh cool thanks for the tip.
I will be in my car at 10:30, I called and left a message for them to hold one. They open at 11:00 so I will have a chance to call before I get there to make sure. I'm hopeless, ok I'm done.......sheesh. Since my bday is on Jan 2nd, lol this will be my bday present to myself.
I was in a store a while back and they had a stainless steel Provari I passed because I already have two. So I will be jumping on this.
Since I started vaping and right after I got my Provari before I found out about this. I said to myself if the Germans ever manufactured anything they would be the only ones that would give Provari a run for the money. I know it's Russian designed, but German manufacturing imho is what puts it over the top.

The Russians are still putting Astronauts into space, I wouldn't be too negative about their engineering design skills.

Let us know what you think of it.

If anyone is interested I got an email a couple of days ago saying Cloud 9 actually have the full semi polished kit back in stock finally, I got mine 2nd hand as i was tired of waiting.

Actually, you can click the English flag in the left hand corner, and everything will be in English. They don't have a user manual in English, yet.

 

[symphonic18]

Also, ordering directly from svoemaestro.ru, the price comes to $185 US shipped.

Anyone know if there is a revisional difference between the beta, gamma and eplsilon versions? I'm guessing the epsilon is the most recent revision, but...?

Here's another pic of my Semovar (with Russian, which happens to be the same finish).

 

[belsenj]

I had a friend ask me how my Semovar was after I got it. All I could say was....smooth. I have an Evic as well as an SVD, and this is something completely different. "Smooth" doesn't even do it justice. It's built so well, has ultra smooth threads and just behaves the way a good PV should. I love it.

I do not us VW, btw, as it (as well as any PV) will suck up your batteries. I like the Semovar in 18350 mode so using VW isn't a good idea.
