I have heard people say they like the ZNA by house of hybrids more than the provari. It would likely be much harder to get one, but I got one and I love it. Never had a provari though so cant compare.

I love my ZNA, so glad I purchased it, cause it allows me to do things my provari can't, but it's not without problems. I'll just say this, when I leave my house, you can bet one of my provaris is taking the trip with me.

Just curious; I've said it a million times. Provari had stood the test of time. They are worth the money because you know they will always work. Dna30s haven't been out long enough yet to prove that they will stand that test of time.
What sort of problems does it give you?

Well for one thing, it is an absolute battery hog, I can run the same kayfun at the same power level as my provari, but I will go through 2 AW 18650 batteries on a 12 hr shift. My provari with exact same kayfun with the same coil on another nite, will still be going strong on the first battery at the end of the shift. I'm not even going to talk about when I have it in 18490 mode, it's just ridiculous how many batteries I can plow through in a day. The second thing is it has no buck circuitry, so you're limited to higher wattages on a fresh battery when running lower resistance coils because it can't step the voltage down. Really a problem if you're running attys that aren't rebuildables.
