What can you tell me about the provape 1

[Ar10shooter]

I'm thinking I might like this for the form factor. However I can't find anything about it on the web, is it at all variable voltage? Does it use and ego connector, is it built to the same quality as my provari 2.5?

If you have any comparison pics please post and let me know what you think if you have one? I'm not into rba/rda's I really enjoy my protank mini with a 2.1 coil at 4 volts on my itaste vv v.3 will the provape 1 compare? It's just the form factor (thin) and being able to carry extra batteries I like, assuming I can get a good vape.

Ok I see now it is a 3.7v mod I can live with that. But still can't find the connection is it 501, ego, or something else?

It is not variable voltage - 3.7v as you said. The connection is a 510 thread. It does not have EGO threading, though you can probably find an adapter to make it work. It does have the same level of quality as the Provari, and it actually comes with a lifetime warranty (Provari has a 1 year warranty with an option to purchase an additional 1 year at checkout).

I would recommend you spend a little more and get a Provari 2.5 blem (they're usually available every couple months) for $130, as variable voltage may be something you want in the future, but if you're set on getting a 3.7v mod this is the best option out there IMO.

Edit - Here is a link to the Provape 1 and the EGO adapter you'll need. The adapter also works for the Provari.

This thread has some nice in hand shots of an earlier version Provape 1, note that there were design changes since this model, such as a press fit top cap, and thread pitch on bottom cap, but I believe the size to be the same.


I have been thinking about getting one myself, for travel, stealth, backup, and to use on the bench for dry burning my PT2 coils before re-wicking. My Volcano Inferno batteries are now one year old, and though they are still going strong, I prefer to charge my batteries in the cradle type chargers now. I think I may just pull the trigger on a Provape with a few batteries come to think of it A while back I ordered a few of the 510 to EGO adaptors from Provape, they are of impeccable quality, with a sealed, non floating center pin, and of quality stainless steel.

Size comparison of a Provape-1 with the original Provari 1.0. This takes an 14500 battery (size of a double A battery), so realize the limitations of this size of battery. Depending upon your needs, the Provape-1 can be a nice out-and-about mod where small size is a priority.

Although it is a mechanical mod, it does have protective circuitry safety features like a regulated mod would have:

• 16 Second Safety Cutoff
• Short Circuit Protection
• Reverse Battery Protection
• Thermal Monitoring System
• Amperage Limiting
• Fail Safe Monitoring Circuit

Undoubtedly the safest mechanical mod in production. It also has a life-time warranty.

Sorry Bad, but I don't like calling the Provape a Mechanical mod.

I know definitions around here change every few weeks --- but this crosses the line too far, for me.

IMHO Mechanical mods do not use wires, especially for the firing mechanism, ie button. Supposedly, with no wired in button, there is nothing to break...or melt......supposedly.

Silver Bullet, Rough Stack, Phidias, GLV mini, Bartleby, the Bolt, the Don and Reo Woodville, ( to name a few), and about all 3.7 volt mods made before and in my early days were not "mechs". A few older models -- The GG , the Xhaler, for example, are for sure.

I prefer to call the older style non regulated mods with actual buttons --- unregulated mods.

The Provape was one of the higher (if not highest) tech mod available when it was built with the features you list above. I know of no other mod who had these. The list of features you mention clearly set it in a class of it's own. No mech has a 16 second cut off or amperage limiting or ANY of the features.

Is it built like a tank and will last for eons -- it's a Provape product.

We could argue or debate just what a "mod" is for that matter. Is it merely a battery holder? Is a mechanical a mod? Is a regulated PV a mod? Is it any battery holder which uses external replaceable batteries? What about the MVP? Is it a mod? Is a mechanical mod no longer a mech if you use a Kick in it? And what if you use a Vape Safe Fuse in a mech, thats a simple circuit board, is it still a mech?

To me, I try to keep it as simple as possible. I call a "mod" any more advanced personal vaporizer higher up the chain from an Ego battery. Either its regulated (with variable voltage and/or wattage) or its a mechanical (no VV/VW). Who cares if the fire switch has a wire or not...not me.

You can get as specific as you want to, but because there is such variety in our choice of vaporizers today, lets keep it as simple as possible. I can't keep up with everything as it is.

I do understand --- but I also like the discourse on this thread from a year ago and a couple of these people say it much better than me. I do think it is important to have a distinction between a "mech" or a "semi-mech". lol

I'm with Bad. I don't think there needs to be 153 different definitions of what makes what. It's just not necessary, especially with so many insignificantly minor variations on the market & a bunch of manufacturers thinking if they change the tiniest detail they can call it this whole new thing. It's marketing. It's pigeon-holing. It's over-complicating something that's not complicated at all. It's just vape-gear.

Well I don't care if its a mechanical, or an apv mod, or you want to call it a battery holder thing, I think next week when my mileage check comes in I will order one I think it will be perfect for quick out and about trips and what not. One more question though, will,my intelicharger 2 work to charge the 14500 tats or should I just order the kit?

 

[jwbnyc]

According to the Nitecore site the Inttelicharger i2, and D2, will charge 14500 batteries.

 

[FACE MEAT]

Your Intellicharger will accept 14500s.

 

[stillnotsmoking]

The provape1 is of nice quality but there are numerous other 14500 true mech mods out there in smaller form factor if that's your main goal.

I don't think you will regret getting one. I have one, and its one of my favorite mods. It hits good, and is great for out and about. Put a 1.7Ω carto on it and enjoy.
