Want to get a vv. I think the Provari is the one for me. Please explain to me like I'm five.

Several years ago I got a basic 510 and quit analogues as soon as I got it.

After several months, I gave it up because of the short battery life, the short atty life, the flooding and all the general fiddling and costs required. I went back to cigs and hated them.

Two weeks ago I got sick of smoking and got an Echo (still not totally clear on the exact kind).

Luckily right now cost isn't really an object, though I'm not rich.

I like the Provari because it seems to be the Cadillac of vvs. I also particularly like that it just takes regular batteries that I can buy online from ecig shops or electronic supply places. Especially in light of the recent exploding ecig thing it sounds good to be able to get possibly higher quality batteries and be able to see the batteries themselves and inspect for leakage, bulging, etc.

The things I like about my Echo is the large cartomizers and the soft rubber whistle tip. It feels much better in my mouth than the hard plastic carts of the old 510. I also like the combined atty and cart. However, the echo doesn't usually give that great of a TH.

If I get the Provari, are there large capacity cartomizers for it (holding two or 2.5 ml) that also have the benefit of being 3 ohm or low resistance or whatever it is that is supposed to give better vape?

The whole intersection of voltage, resistance, and ohms is where my understanding of this hobby breaks down.

So to my question, if I get the Provari what do I need, and why, to get cartomizers that have a large capacity, and the right Ohms or resistance to give me the best vape, and what pairing of those and voltage on the device do I need to use?

Any other tips or guidance would be appreciated. Price is not too much of a concern, but i'd like there to be as little fiddling with stuff as possible (which is why I think tanks are not for me.)

Thanks in advance sages.

Also feel free to correct me if I'm not even looking at this in the right way and give me an alternate suggestion.

honestly, the best thing about VV is it really doesnt matter what you screw onto it, you can still tune the vape in, gave me something to do with my stockpile of LR attys. provari has a ton of protection built in, it's a hefty steel mod, i broke a ceramic tile in my bathroom dropping it once. and now that the V2 can run dual coil cartos at higher voltages pretty much all the gripes about the unit are worked out. the difficulty of the menu system is blown way out of proportion. and is usualy done so by people who don't own one and have just seen videos. best ecig purchase i have ever made by a long shot, had i just gone thie route from the beginning, i might have actually saved some money doing this lol.

510 XXXL cartomizers that might be what you're looking for with your Provari. They're advertised to hold about 3.5 ml of juice.

Filling those big suckers is just another practice in "fiddling" in my opinion. That's why I love my juice feeders. Fill the bottle, screw it on, squeeze it to feed the atomizer, VAPE!

The Provari is an excellent mod, though.

Very few people are disappointed with the Provari... it's a terrific Mod and that's why you see relatively few for sale in the classifieds... I have been on the fence about buying one...

I have owned several mods... and put several mods for sale in the classifieds over the past 2+ years.
I have truly never owned a Mod that I thought was terrible... in fact, the only reason I have sold mods... and parted with them is due to comfort... fit and finish...

I have recently discovered that weight is very significant for me... I want a featherlight mod... and found myself almost exclusively using my Vaprlife mods... A couple weeks ago, I got their Diamante which is their VV device... it's terrific... only real downside is that it's really long... but I can live with that. Battery life is terrific... works great... less expensive than the provari and it's from a company I like doing business with.

Mods are basically battery tubes... and there is very little technology that is available with them... VV is the most significant feature... safety... reliability... battery life/efficiency... are other technological amenities...

There are many good mods out there for $80-$120 that are truly nothing more than a 3.7 and 6v battery tube... the only real technological amenity being safety... for a little more cash, you can get some significant features/amenities in a provari...

At any rate... there is really no reason not to get a Provari... if you have the cash... and you want a safe, well constructed VV mod with good battery life... then grab one
