Oh man I really am sorry I ever asked the question, I think we should all take a chill pill for a second here. I want to take a second to salute the U.S.A made build quality of the Provari, because it's at least 2x better than the vamo, you can feel it in the threads, it's the heaviest mod of it's size I've ever owned, and although I never used the customer service from what I've read it's excellent.
I think it's probably my personal preferences that make my opinions of the provari, I'm quite the tech enthusiast and what it all comes down to is Capability for me. Provari = 3.5 amp limit, Vamo = 5 amp limit which do you think will have a more stable voltage based on that? And which will be the safest? The Provari. 3.5 amps is overkill if all you use is carto-tanks, I rarely use carto-tanks unless I'm driving or at the movie theater and feel the need to vape. However for my preferences the vamo suits me best, an example: at both their 6 volt settings I'm unable to fire the Provari at 1.25-2.0ohm, a 2ohm coil is pretty huge and needs alot of power to give me the perfectly moderate vape I want. To compare on a 2ohm coil (which is bigger than most use, certainly me who likes 1.5 or lower) I like at least 6 volts which equals 18watts. The provari will only let me do 12.5 watts, it's almost nowhere near what I want in that area.
And yes your right the Provari is more accurate, and on a scale that most can't feel but I still appreciate that fact, I just wish it would do that at a broader range. The vamo is off in wattage mode by .2 over, which is nearly a good thing for me, that means I can turn it down a tad if anything. Other important things to me are the ease of use, I can adjust the vamo while driving and not take my eyes off the road because it's just quicker, I like that. It does everything I want, and so did the Provari, just in a smaller variety of application, it's not absolute over-priced trash, just doesn't suit all my preferences.
I'm not the type of person that particularly cares about super-safety, my vamo prevents me from any kind of injury that's all I want. I also don't really care about warranty and repair because I know it's not going to break on it, im not a gorilla, if for some reason it does it won't hurt my wallet to buy another.
I love the intro to pbusardo's review because IME it displays how everyone thinks of their vamo, except me apparently, and the youtube version was blocked by 100's of fanboys and girls like you, who didn't like them bad-mouthing the precious vamo. I swear on my dear mother's life, that I've owned a vamo, and don't want to say how I like it anymore because I've said it in the OP and 3 times after, it just didn't suit ALL my needs. I certainly own a JDtech stingray, and it's uncomparable to even the Provari in craftsmanship, I'm not even going to enlighten why. I'm not the type of guy who is jealous of things I can't afford, so I feel the need to bash others who own them, believe it or not I don't care, I'm still happily vaping with a nearly touch-sensitive magnetic firing pin, pure copper body that has .03 volt drop, and the slickest threads I've seen in my life, much less the beautiful and eye-candy-like engravings, silver plated connections, and all of the capabilities of mech mods everywhere (besides 26650).
But they are still just nice billets of metal in the end, they are replaceable, and you can't hurt my feelings about them, only by calling me a liar.
, to each her/his own and that's the golden rule with vapers, I don't dislike the vamo, just wish I'd looked into all the possibilities first. I'm glad I got to experience it though! Great vv device for sure, built sturdy, and it had a nice weight to it.
