I have a chance on getting one at a good price but just have some questions. All I have ever had was a Vamo 3 and a MVP 2.

1. I will be using it mainly for carto tanks and Protanks. So they sit pretty sturdy or are they wobbly. On the Vamo they are wobbly.

2. Is the battery life good on them?

3. And last but not least is the one button interface easy to learn.

Thanks!

1. They should'n't be wobbly. Mine aren't.

2. I've had excellent battery life with mine. I rotate my batteries so they get even wear. When I need to replace them they'll be around $9 apiece.

3. There's nothing easier except using your ProVari to vape.

The majority of Provari owners use cartotanks on their Provari's, but you can use any 510-thread juice attachment you wish on them including the Protank. To use an eGo threaded attachment, you will need to use a 510-to-ego adaptor. Unlike the Vamo's notoriously poor metal connector, the Provari's is made from US stainless steel block. No worries here, their connector is solid like a rock.

Without a Pro Ring (a beauty ring available from 3rd party vendors), a 19 diameter tank looks best.

With a Pro Ring, a 22 mm tank will look best.

2. Is the battery life good on them?
It will vary depending upon how heavy you vape. Below are some ballpark estimates:
  • 18350 - 7 hours
  • 18490 - 11 hours
  • 18650 - 20 hours

3. And last but not least is the one button interface easy to learn.

I was able to figure the interface out within 10 minutes of playing around with it.

Five rapid clicks brings you into the menu mode.

In order of progression:
  • Power Up
  • Power Down
  • Provari On/Off
  • Battery Voltage Meter Reading
  • Ohm Resistance Meter Reading
  • LED Light On/Off

Why Provari? My blog with useful information about the Provari.

Baditude as usual, provided the best detailed info!
Here's my crib notes:
1. Wobbly?
Threads are perfect and tough. Only wobble would be ProTank problem, and it's fixable.

2. Battery life?
Good. Better than many other mods.

3. One-button
Very simple. Click til you see what you want: PU (power up) PD (power down) CB (check battery) AO (atomizer ohms)

Ok I did it! I got a Silver Satin (Blemish) with a extension 18650 cap and I went ahead and ordered one of their 510 to Ego adapters since I have had bad luck with others I have gotten with the threads stripped. With free shipping it was 163.00.

Did I do good?

I will have to little white lie to my hubby though...we were only supposed to get a 100 a piece from tax time to splurge on ourselves. He'll never know the difference! LOL

I look at it this way. My original plan was to get the Innokin VTR that would have cost like 75 bucks plus shipping and really don't know how long it would last. From what I heard about the Provari this should last me a good long time.

Battery life depends on what you're topping with - my dual-microcoil IGO-W at 1.1 will suck the life out of an 18650 in about 4 hours (but I'm a chain vaper). My Forge clone single microcoil at 1.7 can go almost a day before it starts to blink. Again, I'm at home all day so I am chain vaping. YMMV but a 2000mah 18650 will give you plenty of vaping time.

I haven't had an issue with wobble on any of the tops I've used (IGO-W, Forge clone, Kayfun 3.1 clone, AGA-T2, Aspire Nautilus).

And yeah, one button - very easy :)

You did awesome.
You have batteries (button top, IMR) and a charger, right?
Their adapter IS better quality.

We all eagerly will await your "I get it now!" post.
:D

1. They will be sturdy.

2. Very good. I got 2 of the 18650s and one will last me 1 1/2 to 2 days.

3. Very easy. They have the 'how to' on their website. After you've been through it a couple of times, you will have it down. Congratulations on getting one soon!

You won't be dissapointed with it!!! Battery life varies depending on your tank and build (if you build your own coils like I do). Ive had great luck with the 18490's and carry an 18650 with me just in case, with extension cap of course. I truly love mine, and the vape quality is excellent!!! Yes, you do have to sign for the package, but its kind of an "insurance" that you do get your product, after all, quality ain't cheap and I'd be uber upset if someone took my package!!!

I use mine with an AGA T2, an IGO L, a Vivi Nova v2, a Kayfun clone with no trouble. Sits firmly and since I do a lot of topper swapping I don't have to worry about the 510 connector on the Provari wearing or stripping out.
I tried a Protank 2, but it had the 'no air' issue on the Provari but YMMV!
