I sold my Evic for 105 bucks, and I really want a Provari for the house, alongside my Vamo. Now, I like the smaller size of mods, and I have a few Efest 18350 batteries. My question is does anyone have both of these and have pictures of them alongside one another?

Is the size difference that significant?
Please, any imput would be greatly appreciated!

In the meantime, I will be searching and reading reviews!

In the picture, the white wrapped provari is a mini with an 18350 and the black provari is a regular with an 18490. They have prorings on them but that doesn't changed the height.

Holy crap that white one is super sweet. Thought about getting the blue one, but I really like the white. Now the next question ole mighty master of vapes, how long does the mini last, and which do you use more?

On another note, I know you have a Vamo, do you have a picture of the mini next to your vamo in 350 mode.

Does the white get dirty easily?

That's a white carbon fiber style j-wrap on a satin silver mini...it lasts a decently long time, not sure how long. I do not have a vamo anymore but it's a lot shorter than an 18350 vamo.

Fury, you always seem to be a highly intelligent, informative member on this forum. You are great man! You always reply to everyone's posts, even my stupid questions.

You provide great answers and explain things very clearly.

That being said, with what you know,own and have experienced, if you were to go out and buy a new mod today what would it be? Aside from the provari, I have read alot of your posts about mech mods and such.

What do you suggest? I take your comments and opinions very highly. There is no doubt you know know what you say, and you say what you mean!

I'm blushing...

If you want a variable voltage device...a Provari (regular or mini) is the way to go.

Mech mods are great but not for everyone, it's also a lot more to consider depending on the size or look you want.

You literally can't go wrong with a Provari, just pick the size and I am thinking you will be very happy with it.

Well I mean you have a right to blush my dude. You are all over the place giving advice and your opinion. People like you make a community like this so great and valuable. I'm sure I am not alone on this.

This is my situation, Got the Ego C twist, and got off cigs (analogs whatever you guys call them)
Sold it, and upgraded
Got the Evic on a killer deal, loved it and on the same day bought the Vamo for a even better deal
Received the Evic much earlier because I preordered the Vamo

Once the Vamo arrived, I noticed that this Vamo, IMO, is equal or superior for much cheaper.
Someone liked my Evic, I sold it for more than I paid, and the consumer knew this and is my coworker and is very happy.

Now, I have the Vamo and that is all, and I am happy with it. Its cheap, powerful and kinda sexy. Gives me a powerful vape and im not worried I will break it.

That being said, I see all the Provari love (disreguard the hate, everyone always hates the best)

I want one just because. It sleek, beautiful, and consistent based on personal reviews. Now, I have the money for the Provari, and I want it, but my real thought is...Will I buy it and see it as an equal to my Vamo that is much cheaper, and wished I would have waited a bit and see what time has to offer.

Fury, you give good opinions, and I can hardly see you being a bandwagon type of person.

Here is the nice thing about the ProVari, if you buy it and find it isn't your cup of tea they are easy to sell because they are always in demand.

For me though the Vamo can't hold a candle to the ProVari. I bought a Vamo to see if the Hype about VW was warranted, for me it wasn't all it had been touted as being. Yes it does a lot for the price but it just isn't my cup of tea.

Honestly, I am just dipping into the VW settings, and I can't really tell any difference. I know that at 4.5-5v my vape is nice with the Vamo and the Evic. VW well kinda give you that auto setting, but in reality, at this moment in time, all of my vivi novas I use are at 2.4 and 2.8 ohms. I got rid of my 1.8 ohms that came with my kits.

Yes, will eventually get better tanks, possibly cartos, who knows?

I am a big guy 6'5 230 lbs, and I like my small mods. However, the Vamo in 18650 mode isn't huge but in pubic it looks like I am sucking on a chrome phallic object that is 8" long

I prefer the smaller concealed devices, especially my Vamo in 18350 mode. I have no problem carrying 1 or 2 extra 18350 batts to save an inch on my device.

My question is,

Is it time now to spend the money and just get the mini provari and call it quits for buying mods for now. Or just wait till the Vamo fails.

Oh wow thanks Buzz for the pic man! That's the provari color I was wanting too! So we are talking the Provari is the same size as the Vamo in 18350 mode, and the Vamo in 18350 mode is perfect size. So roughly, the mini is going to be 1/2" smaller...Hmm decisions decisions.

I have been scoping the Provari forums all day, I just don't know what to do.

My budget sense says, "wait till the Vamo fails!"

My want says, "get the Provari and if the Vamo fails, who cares?
