Agreed. I'm a total noob (about two weeks in) but after a little guidance from the guys at work, I went with the Provari. I tried a couple others but just loved the Provari, before anyone told me that I'd be paying more for it. Yeah, it's expensive... but so are Marlboro Reds. I'm getting off cheap in the long run.
And yeah, the menu... it's just not complicated. Trying to remember how to set the time on my microwave is far more complicated than adjusting my Provari's voltage. I think it took me all of about 3 minutes to get the hang of it.
And, hey, if you go for something else, cool. I wouldn't try to push anyone toward what I got, since (as I mentioned) I'm a noob. I just know I'm really happy with what I got.
Agreed. I hated the idea of the one button menu before I bought my provari. Now, I've had it for about a week and it doesn't bother me at all.
It's pretty straightforward, once you get the menu labels down.

I debated on getting a provari versus the vamo for a while. I also looked a the eVIC. Ultimately I decided on the vamo after pbuserio's review of it, it comes in today. The provari did set the standard, but I think it is due for a v3 to come out, and I will buy it then.
New member but have been vaping for about a year and as far as a variable voltage mod goes the provari cant be beat I have three of them and tbe mini is my favorite minus the slightly low battery life with a 18350
I started with ego-c,but i didn't liked very much.for that reason i bought the provari mini and did genesis and now i am a happy man!
The bottom line is, you don't need to spend large amount of $$$ on an APV to enjoy vaping. Whether getting 1 Provari or 7 VAMO for the same cost, you'll be spending significantly more $$$ on the delivery system(s) and the ejuices. Just my 
Plus 1 ..for me too.. I still dont have one but really want the mini v2. My first PV was a megalodon that I loved and hated but that was before any of the tanks/atty etc. I myself have never pulled the trigger but now that their $159 im getting close. I'm stuck with a beat up lavatube wanting more. A few of my friends have orions which makes hesistant on making any sort of decision and with the cheap vamo out i just don't know anymore. One thing though is that you could always sell your provari.. I sold my megalodon after a year.
they aren't out yet i thought....plus i'm fairly certain it's going to be a glorified fixed voltage mod with a really expensive atomizer that is 100 bucks to replace....furthermore i believe that thing was conceptionalized to cater to those vaporizing solid herb products and didn't think the e-liquid portion of it through very well....
even if it's made of ceramic and some of the best wire in the world...you still need to clean it, and the thing looks like it was built to remain one piece, so good luck getting bad flavors out of the atomizer, and good luck if it breaks....there are just too many "what ifs" surrounding that device right now.
furthermore: why spend 250 bucks (unit only) on pre ordering the cera, which we don't even know if the atomizer can be changed, or for that matter what threading the atomizer has...plus it doesn't look like you'll have VV, plus we have no idea about short-circuit/over current protection, or even how long they will last....the provari costs 160 dollars (unit only) and is TRIED AND TRUE for this purpose, and the entire provari starter kit can be had for what would cost just the cera.
and lastly: again i'll stress this thing is in pre-order mode....remember all the hype about the eVic? all the cool new features it had? don't get me wrong, firmware updates are great and all, but they won't fix a 2.8 amp limit (which is usually instituted by the switch, not the firmware/software) and the fact that the "revolutionary software" that everyone was all raving about, turned out to be nothing more than a really complex puff counter....add that to the wonky menu system, and i call the thing a flop...the cera may be the same thing, a flop, except you'd be WAY in the whole when you could have just bought the provari plus all it's starter kit goodies.
ok....enough ranting and raving....bringing my soapbox elsewhere.
looks to be another one of those that runs on butane,,not electricity.
those can handle e-juice but you have to put cotton into the "burn" pot to hold the juice.since it is flame it keeps heating the juice and it will burn thru it pretty fast too !! there is no on\off to the heating element in it
provari's are great but might want to also look at the Sigelei ZMAX, PBUSARDO did a review on it comparing it to the provari and said it was the first e-cig that made him think it might be a good replacement for it.
personally i like my original SMOK ZMAX a little better then my provari mostly because of the wattage settings im lazy and dont like to have to figure out voltage for all my different atty's all the time and really like the way it hits.it did have its downsides tho the finish on the stainless one was a bit rough so i had to run a ball deburrer over the slits in the tube to smooth it over some and the screen on it has a few bugs like it says lou instead of low because the screen was not big enough...no big deal in my book.
after watching his review of the Sigelei ZMAX it looks like they took all the issues with the smok version and fixed them and used a much better screen and tube. so i just ordered one tonight myself. but ether way you cant go wrong the provari is a great solid e-cig i just wish they would come out with an updated one with a wattage mode im sure it would instantly become my favorite again.

i can confirm and agree with this, i recently got a sigueli'max from co-op and it is a nice piece of equipment, i've actually been preferring it over the provari in some applications such as genesis attys due to the higher amp limitations of the 'max....i can throw 24 watts at the ZAP with stacked batteries with it, something my provari can't do, it would give me an error message before i got the voltage high enough.
