To Provari or not to Provari?

[dgroebe]

Still considering getting a Provari since first learning of their existence many moons ago. Still hesitant to put up the duckets since I have more than enough cheap Chinese VV PV's to keep me happily vaping for a long time. So far I've probably spent more money on the several chinese knock offs to more than pay for a Provari. My question is once you do finally get your Provari do the obsessive PV upgrade demons acquiesce?

 

[burnah]

My first PV was a Provari and I've never regretted it one bit. Love it, love it, love it.
The demons have prevailed however. Not the upgrade ones. The variety ones. I have acquired 5 PVs since and have another 3 on the way.

As a happy Provari owner, i'd say you won't regret your purchase. Hopefully your demons will go away, but I can't call it. You may want VW after you get the best out there, you may want a mechanical to stop getting E1 errors if you build your own coils. But I think you can rest easy knowing you bought an american made, top of the line product. This thing is built like a tank and can take a beating, or look saucy sittin on the shelf.

the way i see it, the provari is the standard of excellence....i own one, and i have purchased a reo grande since...variety does win out simply because there are so many great ways to vape.


edit: i'll also note that i REALLY want a mini provari in addition to the V2 i already have....so yeah, the demons don't "go away" you just have to have some control i suppose

simple answer? no

but as long as you control yourself you can feel good about supporting a superior american made product with a steller warranty the cheapos cant match. and as high brow as the provari is there is much much worse, lol some mods are works of art for several 100.

If you got the bucks, PROVARI! If you feel you need to go cheaper, try a ZMax from Smoktek.com

Maybe for some people but not me. I have my provari, and a Spinner backup, but I am currently in 3 coops for 3 different mods. Why? I dunno....because they were cheap? I'm going to stop buying stuff once my last pv comes in, well thats what I'm telling myself now

 

[BkoJoe]

i like the looks and weight of the provari VV mod but i like you cant get over the price, some of the Chinese made VV's are quite decent... im using one and dont mind it in fact i plan on buying more in the future, good luck on your choice, i know if you buy one you wont be disappointed

I'll tell ya what... I read in another post on this forum that "You pay now, or you pay later" in regards to the ProVari. I have been vaping a V2Cig for about 2 weeks, and after reading dozens of reviews and watching twice as many videos on it, I decided to purchase one. I wish I purchased one sooner because its taking forever to get here!

Happy vaping,
Brandon

 

[robyone]

Mine is in the post... Should be here tomorrow hopefully, but I think it will be a veeery good investment. Will let you know how it compares to the ego VV batteries I'm using now as soon as I try it...

 

[dgroebe]

It just never stops does it? It's been so awesome to get off the cigs and to find a new hobby but dammit if I don't have the most expensive hobbies ever. Between the computer stuff (I work in IT so I joke with the wife that it's a work expense, she doesn't find it funny) and the fact that I've most recently become an audiophile building speaker cabinets, designing crossovers, and spending hours reading reviews of amplifiers and turntables. Well, at least I'll never be bored... Broke but not bored.

Sage advice my friend...

I agree totally. I have two vmaxes, but I still do not have a Provari. The reason I have two vmaxes is a long story, lol. I like the vmaxes fine, but my next purchase will be a provari. I am aiming for xmas, but I will probably get one sooner. That said, I dont think the search will end there. I am now starting to want an IHybrid too. Arghh, it wont end!

oh man that one bit me about 15 years ago when i got my first parts express catalogsheesh my garage looked like a speaker company.

 

[Carnage]

I'm really hard on my stuff so the provari was the way to go for me. It's indestructible

Parts Express for the win! So you got away from it? I can't imagine not drooling over the latest catalog.

 

[DizGrizz]

No, it never stops.
I was planning on giving myself a Provari for Christmas but I have since decide to wait for the DMA 20D board to be released and make my own. Now that I've done VW, I just can't see myself going back to VV for my primary PV.
