My :2c: I have a ProVari V1 from the first run. I still use it everyday. It has a Spheroid on it right now. I have a ton of different setups, as you can see in my sig. I have considered selling off my stuff and going down to just a few (I have multiples of each except the ProVari - because I always want a backup). Selling the ProVari has never been in my thoughts. I have actually considered adding a ProVari mini.

I have a Provari V2. I have to have tough equipment. I work in a mill. Everything is either steel or concrete. I manage to drop my Provari at least once a week. You can barely find scratch marks on it.

If you need tough, reliable power, go with the old school machined stainless.

It's worth every penny.

The Mini uses an 18350 battery which is 700 mAh. The popular answer is 100 mAh = 1 hour vaping time. The real answer is it depends on the voltage one sets it to, and what OHM coil is attached to it. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "mini mod".

Is there somebody with ProVari mini experience? How long is battery life (average) in mini mod? Thanks

Provaris are the only thing I use. I bought my first one a little over a year ago, and since that time, I have 4 more. 3 standards and 2 minis. I've never felt the need to experiment with anything else. The minis are great when you're out and about; and the 18350 battery is small enough to carry a spare, if you think you'll need one.

Just get it already!
I gave most of my stuff away after I got my mini I keep a twist w/VN as a backup, I did manage to get more than a few people of analogs by paying forward the cheap knockoff's, tanks, cartos so I feel good it was a win win!
Ah the demons.... well hmmm yea still there

A Provari is not for everyone. The main hangup for those that don't yet have one is the price. If you can afford one, get one. 95% of Provari owners love theirs. The other 5% were too busy complaining about the bubble wrap it shipped in.

Most new owners comment by saying either, "wowwwww", or "I wish I had gotton one of these from the beginning," or "Now I understand..."

I just received a Provari mini having only used standard 650 mAh EGO batteries for 5 months. I've only had it a week now so can't give a lot of info... the build quality is of course great, the 18350 battery lasts me about 6-7 hours, the low battery warning (flashing LED) is a bit annoying as it carries on even if you turn it off. I like being able to check the resistance before I set the voltage. And I have tended to keep the Provari for home use so far.

Ultimately I think the reason for buying is just as important. I didn't make the decision and spend the money because I was unhappy with the eGO batteries or vaping experience I had with them. It was really based upon the knowledge I was going to experiment more with different clearo, carto, tanks and ultimately rebuildables so I felt confident the quality, flexibility would support me long term as I go from just vaping (to be smokefree) to it becoming more of a hobby.

Whatever your choices. Good luck.

Nib.

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

The Want demon's never go away. I got one now and want a mini. I also want a PreciesePlus from Super T ...............If only I'd have been born rich. Or at least good looking, or had a weathly girl. Oh well Life sucks. But I got my dreams. There are only two PV's I reall want . Those that I have and those that I don't.

U wont regret owning a Provari... I started with a V.E.T, switched to a Lavatube & now on a Provari V2 (Black w red LED). Ordering a new piece... hehehe. Not that i am having problem with the Provari. I intend to use one at home & the other at my workplace. Provari V2 (white w blue LED)... Gotta say i have the best vaping experience with a Provari thus far. Having that said, i am open to new products too... :blush:

Curious here...
If these are the Best of the best then why isn't having one enough?
Why would you need to have more than one provari?

Lots of reasons actually. People like variety.Ive seen people coordinate their outfit with their Provari....also certain tank and rbas just look better with different finishes.

The Provari is rock-solid reliable but having two provides a lot of extra piece of mind.
