To Get a Provari....Or Not?

[LReyes66]

Any pictures of a black provari mini with the black extension? Debating whether getting it even though I just bought 2 350

Just an FYI, this is a Mini V2... The one you buy from ProVape now will look a little different.

It's a long thread, and didn't always stay on topic.

Edit: I went back and re-read the thread. You posted in that thread 9 months ago with the same arguments you are using here. If you were not convinced your logic was faulty by the evidence in that thread, nothing we can say here in this thread will change your mind. I will, however, post what I consider to be the definitive answer to your question about coil temperature over time:

Thanks for the repost. I must not have stayed with that thread long enough to read it all the first time. Energy calculation in mJ is impressive and convincing. My hat's off to you for winning the argument but I'm not selling the Sigelei yet.

Close enough. The newer ones have the ProVari mini logo engraved much deeper with two teardrops bracketing the word "mini."

I can't take the credit, that goes to Rader2146, and I don't blame you for not wanting to sell something that obviously works (for you).

Edit: Now if I could just convince the other people who bring up that same tired argument.

Excellent presentations and replies. I'm impressed (by all but my own immature responses)

Very well done, folks. Happy New Year.

No, we're cool. I understand what you were saying, but I am being literal here... Please bear with me as I explain;

I think this bolded statement is a big issue that has arisen from the Provari crowd. It is fine for someone to truly enjoy something that they own, but there is no need to glorify the item with misinformation or exaggeration. I just want to see facts. In everything there is objective information, and subjective information. I am here for objective... You might like pink, I like black. Neither one of us is wrong. But pink is a mix of red and white... that is a fact.

Every forum has it's favorite. On that forum opposing voices are quelled, and naysayers ridden until they leave, or shut up. I am a moderator on several audio forums, and have seen the rise and fall of 'the greatest "X" ever' time and time again. The Provari crowd here has the upper hand, clearly. So I have to sift through the blind rabid following and actually see what makes the device tick. For that I like honest and detailed information.

I don't question the build quality of the device, and perhaps I should have clarified that while not an EE, I have been around electricity and complex circuits for over 20 years (I started with an old HP analog scope that weighed ~150 pounds and needed it's own cart). I have been scoping everything I can for the better part of the last 10 years. I am the guy that the local dealerships send cars to that they can't fix. I am very detail oriented.

Again, I am not trying to be a douche, but I am very interested in learning what devices will best suit me. I am currently using an eVic to gather information on my habits so I can tailor my final device to best suit my needs and save me money in the long run... plus it is a fun device. It allows me to play with VV and VW as well. Plus if I cook it when I start rebuilding it is no real big deal.

I will try some form of each type of device, however I am not going to spend $200 on a few of each design just to see what will work best for me. I want one purchase, and I want it to be the device for me. I am grabbing a mechanical in the near future (it will be a nice high end unit I am stuck on ChiYou and Nemesis but have the Nem in the lead) but they are far simpler than a VV or VW mod. VV and VW presents a vast learning curve.

So I am in the middle of a HUGE lesson here, and I look to people like YOU, "old school" forum members with a lot more experience than I for guidance. I must also add that the OP is looking for the same information.

As far as guidance, I suggest you consider being less derogatory and condescending. When one is polite, people are more inclined to offer helpful information.

How much more battery life would i get if I were to get the extension cap for my mini so it can use 18490?

Same here, using new AW 18490s, depending on what voltage I am running. Some days only 1.5 18490s, some days 2.5.

The 18350s didnt seem to last me very long at all, but they were used batteries and a lesser brand than AWs

damnit. I regret not just getting a regular provari then since its the same price. Just bought it on saturday at the shop so i might maybe exchange it.

That depends on how you like the look of the Standard compared to the Mini.
I like the look of the Mini much more, and I can use extenders to make it use all the same batteries at the Standard.

Vape On!

I think you got a great deal. Not a big deal to carry an extra battery in a little battery case if you need to or get an extension cap if you want.

You should consider taking your own advice. Lately whenever I pop into a Provari thread, there you are, being less than nice to someone. Just saying.

What ProVari threads have you been looking at? And have you actually read sandt38's posts in this thread?

They not only perform great, but they have great customer service. Plus they use quality parts. It's worth it in my opinion. Better spending a lot of money on one device than to spend money on a few mods.

Now that you've told us about the wife, how do you like your ProVari?
