Your original question is asked on this forum every other day. I realized that your post was the first on this forum, so I gave you a break from saying just do a topic search.

Reasons to get a Provari:

A USA made mod that is every bit as durable as any well-built mechanical mod.

The manufacturer gives a 1 year warranty, option to purchase a second year, and after the warranty will still repair a Provari for reasonable parts fees for as long as you own it. Any mod made in China can not be repaired after the warranty expires, those manufacturers expect you to buy another one. "We make cheap. You buy cheap. It break, you buy another." A Provari will last as long as you want it to.

A basic, simple mod in features that does not pimp "bells & whistles" features - it just does what it was designed to do better than any other mod. It will work every time you ask it to.

Superior processor chip which gives the same consistant vape from the beginning of the battery life until it is drained (Accuset Technology). It uses an 800 Hz PWM frequency, not the cheaper 33.3 Hz chip (rattlesnake effect) that most of the Chinese-made mods use. The result is described as a smoother vape.

Durable, dependable, consistant, reliable, repairable. Unmatched customer service and support. Provari's requiring repair are generally returned back within a weeks time.

98% USA made and manufactured - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provape/289525-provari-made-usa.html

I appreciate the break :2cool:. Also thanks for the extra info I've literally been researching and watching videos all day and still can't fully decide.

If you have done the research and are not sure if you should get a Provari. Don't.
The evidence of what it is and isn't is well documented.
If all that doesn't speak to you, then perhaps you will be happier with another mod.
Good luck with which one or ones you choose.

Vape on!

Did you encounter any problems with the Semovar? Researching it a bit right now and it looks nice - especially because it can fire at 1.0 ohms where most other APVs cut off around 1.5 ohms.

I only used it for a little while someone came in the B&M I work at with one. I liked it, it felt really nice. I actually enjoyed using it more than I did a provari... He had a Kayfun 3.1 on it and it looked amazing.
I am a mechanical guy. MY evic turned into a really expensive ohm reader now that I have a ohm reader I am going to sell my evic. lol
BUT if I were going to buy an expensive VV/VW mod it would be the Semovar. Like I said just MY opinion.

Oh trust me it's been speaking to me, I'm just browsing all options before pulling the trigger. Got into a habit of impulse buys lately.

So I've been vaping for almost a year now and probably started out how most people did - with a eGo and small tank. I have progressively spent money on new mods and stuff because of the great prices from FastTech but it seems like I always get something new because of how cheap that stuff is. I've gotten into rebuildables and dripping with mechanical mods and it wasn't that great to be honest. I've owned an Innokin SVD for a few months and recently sold it and after that Christmas time i'm feeling like a new set up. With this set up though, everyone always says Provari is the way to go for an APV. Is it really that great? I'm debating on getting a Provari mini and a Russian 91% RBA as I vape almost everywhere I go so it seems pretty convenient. Any thoughts?

When I started. . .the eGo wasn't even around. When it came out. . .I bought one. The very next day, it seems, they announced the ProVari pre-order. Waited alittle over a month for it. When I got it. . .it was the beginning of the end of my 52 years smoking 2.5 PAD, and ultimately the end of my vaping. JMHO

Cheers,
otrpu

I've had a Zmax, Vamo, Lavatube V2 and V2.5, and ProVari V1 and V2.5...

Zmax, Vamo, and Lavatubes have been sold or given away...

ProVari's are still here...

A Zmax or Vamo, or countless other mods may give you more features for the money... Doesn't make them "better" than a ProVari...

An Original Shelby Cobra was never built with Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Air Conditioning, or a Radio... These were all available back then, but they never built them with those options... I mean NO RADIO?? Bah, who would want one of those old dogs?

Yet, they are still considered one of the most sought after and desirable cars in the world... Even without a radio...

I'd like to add, there may have been a radio in the cars... These aren't facts, I just made that crap up... But you get the point

Oh wow, yeah my Innokin SVD has been my ohm reader for the past month or so when I got my mechanical mod, but I've used that for a little while now and it's nothing great and I think i'm headed back towards the direction of VV mods and tanks - as I have been using my Trident dripper a lot. But now that I know about rebuildables I am thinking about The Russian 91%.

The Russian 91% is great. I think we just hired a guy with one, and my boss just bought one. I have a 91% clone and love it! I am still a big Genesis style guy though, but the Kayfun style rba's are amazing.
I think the bottom line for the thread is get the mod you like, the one you think you will keep & use for a long time. If that is the Provari, the Zmax, or the Semovar. Just go for it. As long as it keeps you off analogs that is all that really matters. After that is comes down to personal preference.

Features you get with the Sigelei Zmax Telescopic you won't get with a Provari...

-ability to use any battery from 18350 through 18650 without optional tube extensions. No need for a mini model for 18350.
-510 and eGo connections
-removable top cap
-VV/VW operation
-heavy stainless steel build, 23mm wide
-one of the shortest VV/VW tube APVs for 18350 through 18650

These aren't features if you don't need these items. If it works for you, that's cool, but one size does not fit all IMO.

I've been using a provari for just over a year, and is my daily mod. I have, like you owned may of the mods that come out just to see what they're about and have always gone back to it. Not that some of these other cheaper, more feature rich mods are bad ones, its just that my provari at the end of the day works better, and is way more consistent vape than any other PV I've tried.
