Thinking about a Provari

[Baditude]

So when the Provari gets updated, all the present owners will not rush in to get the update as it is not needed!

Even if Provape offered a variable wattage option, I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone. I don't need variable wattage. If I chose to buy another Provari, which I am in the near future, I would buy it for the reasons I have already stated in my previous post. In my opinion there is not a better variable voltage PV made.

There is always variance, you just do not know it.

Of course we would know it, if we thought it made any difference. The Provari is fully capable of giving a precise resistance reading under load. Adjustments can be easily made by the user if the variance is large enough to matter, which in the vast majority of cases will be too small to matter.

When my ohms no longer read 1.2, I rebuild it.

When blind faith becomes more important that just logic then it becomes religion. I respect your religion man, stay happy.

See, the difference between us is, I don't try to tell you there's anything wrong with you wanting VW, but you're telling me there's something wrong with me not wanting VW. That's not your place.

That's why I said, enjoy your religion. Peace out.

You should tell me what juice I should vape so I don't vape the wrong stuff.

Ladies and Gents, calm down lol. I started this to dig up dirt on ProVape, since I could not dig up any dirt on the Lavatube v2, and I made that mistake. I wanted to hear someone chime in and say "Yeah my provari did this, so I don't like it". However, with the amount of praises offered, I might go read the sub-forum more thoroughly, and talk with some more people before I buy. It will not be for a few more months until I am ready to invest. I don't care about VW, I have a Lavatube v2 for crying out loud. I know I like my 2 ohm cartomizer at 4.0 volts, and that is how the juice tastes best. I know if I use a 3 ohm, I like it at 5. That is why there is a safe power vaping chart that makes it easy to read. In the end, I will ultimately decide what to go with, and go from there. Hell, I might buy an Ego battery as a back up, or a damned Vamo. But I am thinking provari since I want a unit that lasts a long time before I need to call provape up and get work done. I like that they stand behind the Provari. If it were not for good customer service from Volcano, I would have already returned my product and gotten a refund. I am on my 3rd Lavatube v2, and I know that one is going to fail.

Cool, and we all vaped happily ever after

Those who don't own their own Provari really have no way to honestly chime in on this debate. All they're going by is hearsay. And honestly, I don't think you'll find a single poster here who owns a Provari who would speak ill of either it or Provape.

Quatro, I dig your name.

But unless you actually own a Provari, other Provari owners probably will take your declarative statements in stride. By no means do I look down upon anyone, no matter what they use, be it a Blu, a Bloog, a Volt, an eGo, a Twist, a Vamo/Tesla/iTaste/Gripper/ProVari, etc., et al. If it works for you, it's an awesome device. No one should make you feel otherwise.

But unless you own a Provari, it's really hard to argue for or against one. It's seriously, honest-to-Goodness, I wouldn't-lie-to-you, it's-like-sex-you-won't-know-until-it-happens-to-you kinda thing.

Once you own one, things change.

I just want something that is reliable, since the Lavatube v2 does not provide a reliable vape. I want something that when I press the button after setting it to whatever, is going to shoot current to my cartomizer to heat my juice up, and satisfy me. I just don't want to make another mistake, so I might be a bit hesitant. I think I am going to save back, and get it. My wife has already approved, but we have other things, like back-logged maintenance on her car to finish up before I can get it...

 

[bilbobaggins30]

And I too feel the same way, I don't look down at someone because they have a cig-a-like with a tank on it, or whatever goofy vaping creation. Hell I have seen the mods that are built from soda cans. Whatever heats up the juice, reliably works for me. I just have heard nothing but praise for the Provari, and really, wanted to see if anyone had any issues with them, like I have had with my Lavatube v2...

I've had my Provari for several months now. No complaints, other than when used with the battery extension cap for longer (an entire day) battery life, it's a pretty hefty device to carry around when out-and-about.

I bought two gripper-style box mods that are variable voltage for use when out-and-about with plans to use the Provari at home. The Ovale V8 and Smoktech VV Gripper vape adequately enough, are much lighter and can fit easily in a pocket. However, I still grab for the Provari 90% of the time because it provides a much better vaping experience than the other two. It's more dependable, reliable, and consistant from the beginning of the battery until the end.

For this reason, I plan on purchasing a Mini Provari for out-and-about sometime soon for more portability but the same great vaping experience as the full size Provari.

Just my 0.2...(to the OP, sorry don't want to highjack your thread) In my research on mod's I found that eventually I would buy a Provari. I could spend $200 now or I could work my way up and spend a whole lot more buying other mods first and then buy one. I looked into the vw thing as a down side. Has anyone heard of Ohm's Law / Power Law?
If you change voltage or resistance, you are changing your wattage and vice / versa. I think there is a misconception that you can adjust wattage by itself. The devil is in the details.

Correct and VW maintains constant wattage. The chipset monitors the resistance of the coil and varies the current and the volts thereby keeping the third variable (watts) constant. No matter what anyone decides to vape be it VV, VW, Mech Mod with 3.7 all that matters is that the device should be reliable and keep them off the smokes. I know it is the only thing that worked for me and after 28 years i was finally able to kick the cigs.

Baditude, have you checked out the Groove? Box made in the Gripper-style, but a definite improvement. A marginal step up. Construction is sturdier, higher quality.

That's true. I've even seen the Provari jump around between 2.1 and 2.2 when checking a carto. But that's tiny shift.

I said it.. Yes, I am looking at the provari. I figured that my next lava tube v2 is doomed to fail. I want what I never had for the lava tube V2, an honest review. I want to know the pros and cons, I want to know the issues anyone has had with it. I don't want fan-boys, I want the meat and potatoes. Yes, I want the dirt on the provari, so that I can see if it is worth the 200 that needs to be dropped for it...

Some 3 weeks ago, I did my research and purchased a silver provari mini. It met my personal vaping needs. Since receiving it, it has surpassed my expectations. As such, I am ordering another mini in black.

The dirt, meat, and potatoes on the provari is, if you want it, can afford it, and it suits your needs, buy it. If not . . . Don't. Nothing which anyone says here is any different that what you have already read in the countless number of provari threads.

If you are on the fence, there must be a reason. As such, I would suggest purchasing any number of the other excellent APVs.

hey baggins...

...worth every dime, no doubt. Bullet-proof in my experience, and from the stories I see from others. I especially like the stories about the great customer service and the warranty and the like...

the dirt? hmmm... I don't think it's waterproof, and I'm not overly-inclined to test it's water resistance. It's performed very well in the limited amount of time that I've used it in sub-zero type conditions. No problems yet there.

hmph. Can't think of any more dirt. I'm sure I'll buy another.

Good luck. Enjoy it when it arrives, and all the best. Cheers, ~M

I like it enough that I have 2 now.
