So I had two Provari V1's and sent one to Provape to get updated recently--when I got it back I decided to sell my second one and was planning to pick up a Twist as a backup(something small to use when out & about). Then--horrors---I lost my Provari! So I picked up a Twist while I was figuring out what to replace the Provari with.The contenders--another Provari,a Zmax,an eVic or a Vamo? I went with the Vamo from Vaporus($63.00 inc shipping and tax!).I got it Thursday and I gotta say I'm impressed!
--battery life--about same as Provari in 18650 mode--about 3 hours with 18350
--works great with my Vivi Novas and with my Ego Mega DC cartos(ego
threads--no adaptor req!)
--first time using Variable Wattage--love it!
--menu system--great--so simple! I never really minded the Provari system but the Vamo is so much better
--well built,solid--heavy as hell in 18650 mode.Like the button
--appearance--it's no Provari but it's not ugly! Really long and heavy in 18650 mode--very compact with 18350(gonna need some more of those) I miss the satin finish on the Provari--the chrome is too slippery .The screen is very clear but not pretty.
All things considered even if I still had my Provari I think I would use the Vamo more--variable wattage is great.Also--if I lose this thing--no freak out--just pick up another one for $60! Provape is going to have to respond(I'm sure they're going to)--go VW and add 2 tiny little buttons so they can update their menu system--then I'd
buy another one.
Also--I visited Switch from Jr Custom Turnings the other day and tried the eVic out-- Switch(my
vape guru) likes it and that's good enough for me. It's light as a feather and about the same size as the Vamo --in 18350 mode! That's my next purchase---after Xmas of course!
