The provari Blems are brand new provaris in every way but you'll save a few bucks it's like getting the provari and having them throw in the batts or a charger if you wanted think of it that way. Provari is the Cadillac of mods because their QC is a several step process any sort of microscopic imperfection is considered a blem; 99 percent of the time you'll never see or notice it.
I've had my provari since march, switched from an MVP2 also and; for me, it's the best money I could have spent on vape gear. I bought it to reward myself for being a month off analogs.
2 weeks after I got it I switches from kanger toppers to a kayfun lite plus. Out of everything I've tried it's just pure perfection. To me it's like listening to Neal Pert on drums for the first time.

Here's a link to a site where he's touring the provape factory and you can see their QC in action it'll give you a better idea to what they call a blem.
As far the v3; it's all speculation right now as to if it'll be a separate product or some sort of upgrade to the current model. And when it'll be out. I've been told by allot of the vets that when they came our with the current you could upgrade for 20 dollars- how true that is or if they'll do that again I'm not sure, just wanted to put it out there.

My Provari showed up in the mail today, and I'm really impressed. I expected it to be extremely well made (and it most certainly is), but I didn't expect it to perform any differently than the eVic I was upgrading from. Voltage is voltage, right?

I was wrong. At the same settings as my eVic, with the same topper running the same coil on the same tank of juice, I'm getting significantly more out of the Provari. More flavor, more vapor. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

On the subject of the new product coming, I think it's most likely something new, not a version 3. However, if I'm wrong and it's an upgrade to the current version, keep in mind that they upgraded Provari 1 owners to the 2 for something ridiculous like $20. You sent in your old one and they swapped out the chip and sent it back. I'm pretty sure they would do the same thing with a new version, if it's the same device.

Here's my new baby:

Didn't they say "ProVari 3 or version 3", in the vids?' That would lead me to believe it is not a new device... P. Busardo also said something like, 'you will know it is a ProVari.'

Yeah, but they also said it's been in development for a couple of years, that leads me to believe it's going to be more that a simple upgraded provari.

I can see it taking 2 years to develop a new chip.

I can definitely see it taking that long for a new chip, not to mention provape is so big on safety, durability and performance as well. From a business perspective; though, I can't see them "upgrading" the current model, it's got such a huge fan base that it leads me to think they'll opt to put out another product line altogether keeping the standard and mini. Possibly making a new flagship model if you will.
Either way I'll be getting it for sure; in fact I'm holding out getting backup till it comes out -lol

It is the large fan base that leads me to believe it will be a chip and maybe cosmetic upgrades. If they come out with something completely different, they may lose half their base customers. I would never buy a box mod. Maybe a hybrid, who knows...
I need a new one for my July trip, so will be buying one on Monday...

Actually I like the box mods and I do really like the DNAs- I'm just a simple guy and don't have allot of money so I'm one of those loyal people that sticks with what works. Provari has stood the test of time works great every time you hit the button, the DNAs are still fairly new and while they may end up standing that test of time I see them like cell phones- a new one once a year- that'll drive me nuts. Lol
I don't have the money or desire to start a collection lol nor do I like dripping that's why the setup I have really is ideal for me, 5 ml of juice in a kayfun and I'm good for the day lol.
I have my one mod that'll go through hell and still work, just need a backup in case I drop it in a volcano lol

I wonder if he meant in terms of quality? Or maybe it has teardrops...lol!

That's what I figured he meant by that statement- it'll be a dependable build quality, it'll be safe ,it'll be durable and it'll deliver - it'll be a Provari. I took it as an open ended statement as to if it'll be a new line or an upgrade-
Unless he was talking about the V2.75- rotflmao

I have a provari and an MVP from inokin and I can compare them.

They both do vv and the MVP does VW. I tend to only use one atty so a quick check of an Ohm's law calculator and I am done. If you often change resistance the VW might be a plus.

When making something there is often quite a difference in cost to go the final bit. The provari really does go the final bit. The threads on the provari are like butter and on the MVP it feels like sand has gotten in the butter. Both work but I like the provari a lot more.

On the MVP the buttons are in holes with metal sticking out and the provari just has the button in the hole. A win again for the provari but the buttons work on both.

The screen on the MVP sticks out and on the provari it sits flush with the body. Both work but I like the provari better.

I like the way provari did the interface with only 1 button but that is personal as others like the 3 buttons of the MVP.

Both of them vape. I like the prvari a great deal more and, when the time comes, I will get another provari and not an MVP.

PS I like the simple straight lines cut in the original provari much better than the curves cut in mine.

PPS I like the feel of the provari finish.
