What is so great about a Provari?

Thus far, the only selling point for me on buying a provari is that the last vape is as good as the first. Everything that I have tried thus far does not come close to accomplishing that. The variable wattage is not important for me because I only vape to different ohm setups. I am still on cartos.
I refuse to buy a rba and have to go through all that trouble to vape. I place the carto on and I vape.

I don't know what kit, you are considering but the extension cap, gives you the ability to use longer batteries. With provari mini standard cap, it uses 18350 bats, w/ext cap it uses 18500 bats. With the full size provari standard cap uses 18500 bats, and w/ ext cap it uses 18650 bats.
I have both, but I really like the mini, the advantage to the mini is, with the standard cap 18350 bats, with ext cap 18500 bats, and you can also extend it even more to use the 18650 batteries. On the provape web site look at the Tatroe base and ext ring, with that ext ring and the ext cap you can use the 18650 bats. I always recommend the tatroe base and ring, but if you just want the ring, you can buy it at cig techs.

With the mini you have more choices as to which battery you want to use.
Also some like the external design of the mini more than the standard.
As for what you need to complete your kit.....
AW branded batteries and a good charger. Your favorite atty and you are ready to go.
You are gonna love it!

I actually find my RBAs to be LESS hassle than cartos. It doesn't take much more time to wrap a coil than it does to prime a carto, and you have that same coil for weeks. It's a matter of a few seconds to poke a new piece of cotton through for a new wick, and boom, flavor changed. I do that once, maybe twice a week. Of course, this is on kayfun-style or drippers, not genesis. Genesis are kind of a pain in the ..., I agree.
So buy parts separate or get the kit with the battery and charger? or buy diff battery and different charger?
The batteries they sell on the site are AW IMR's, which is what you want. The charger on there is not the best on the market, but perfectly acceptable. You can find batts and a charger cheaper elsewhere, but with extra shipping? Probably come out a wash.
A big difference between a ProVari and 99% of the Chinese PVs is the pulse speed. You will see tons of posts where the ProVari vape is described as "smoother" than the others, and the taste is better. This is because it uses special high grade electronic chips, uses higher quality filters, and pulses it's power to the atty at 800hz. PVs like the Vamo only pulse at 33.3hz. The iTaste MVP pulsesa at 48hz. Slightly better than the Vamo and 99% of other PVs but nothing compared to a ProVari's 800x per second. On an Oscilloscope the Vamo firing would look a bit like a saw blade while the ProVari would be a flat line.
The pulse is where the power is applied to the coil, the turned off to keep the voltage level, then applied again. Of/on.off/on extremely fast. A Vamo, when the button is pressed, has often been described as having a Rattlesnake sound. The On/off/on is so much slower than a ProVari's that it actually affects the feeling of the vape and the taste. Not everyone will notice the difference, but many can.
With an attitude like that you would be better off using a Blu or other cheap disposable cigalike which does not require any brain power to use. Voltage that can change would be frustrating to you, hence your comment above that you are not interested in that sort of thing. You want something as simple to use as an analog and lighter.
Unfortunately you aren't going to find that in the world of quality vaping, and you definitely are not in the ProVari/DNA20/Vamo/VMax catagory of end user. You keep repeating the same things, your mind is obviously already made up and unchangeable so any further conversation with you would be a waste of time because higher level PVs than cigalikes will entail things that can change and which require a little bit of actual work and thinking in order to reap the rewards of taste and vapor production.

That was a bit harsh doncha think.
Saying one does not want to fiddle with rebuilding coils is a far cry from not thinking at all.
Also. If you think a poster is ignoring your sage wisdom, then ignore them right back. A slap in the face is kinda petulant.

Harsh? Not at all. There have been more than 200 replies to his question, in both detail and scope. The man has been a one note fiddle the entire time, unchanging an inch from his concrete opinion in his origional post and blatantly obvious in his unchangeable position.
Usually on a forum this sort would be called a troll.
Additionally they were quite clear that they did not want to mess with variable voltage or have to fiddle with anything that had to be built.
Taken all together one has to wonder why they posted here in this area to begin with because they obviously did not really want an answer to their questions

You have a bad attitude...I use cartos and have been for 2 years. Where do you come off with this elitist attitude! It is people like you who have a provari and think they are a special type vaper...give me a break!!
How dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You arrogant vaper. I asked a simple question and if you cannot give a simple answer do not post at all. You should be banned from this forum!
Yeah, back to the last comment - I honestly don't know if "the difference" that ProVari users describe will be as noticeable vaping straight from a carto or not. I would THINK so - after all, it should be essentially the same as vaping a Carto-Tank which is a real popular device on the ProVari. So I'd expect you'll find the same thing: A "smoother, faster" delivery of power, providing a better overall vaping experience, and no drop-off - steady voltage right up 'til it's time to change the battery.
Also, a carto in a mini is a pretty nice, compact and indestructible setup.

Sayeth the troll: stop calling me out as a troll!
A little history of Frank on ECF here, with his never changing trend of using his "The price is outrageous, convince me why I should buy it" routine to troll in various areas from ejuice to hardware:

This after 58 posts detailing the ProVari's special high grade chips, it's 800hz power pulse with a smoothness of power application which is unmatched by any lower priced mod, yadda yadda. Asked, answered, hence more trolling.
You give reasons to yourself for a ProVari being higher priced than a Vamo, but you don't really want answers, you merely want contention. Stop playing the hypocritical fake martyr, you are being boring as a one note fiddle across the spectrum of ther ECF topics.
Yet again you answer your own question regarding what is different about a ProVari versus a cheaper device. You also state you do not care for changing any wattages.
As stated previously, you make it clear you do not want to change or fiddle with anything. You say you want a simple grab and go, same exact juice, came carto, same everything all the time. You do not want to mess with variable electronics. You showed multiple times you already know what the differences are between a ProVari and a cheaper, lower pulse, Chinese device, which is unsurprising since you have been a member on ECF for several years and have nearly a thousand posts. So why are you even posting the question you already know the answer to?
What is clear, from the posts you made years ago to the same exact modus operandi in the posts made here recently, is your prodding for strife and contention from people in the specific areas of the ECF most likely to fall victim to trolling: Dissing a vendors juice prices in her section, playing victimized martyr when your posts get deleted by a mod after you again are complaining about another vendor, playing the same martyr card when you get smacked down for having your obstinance and troll-like tendancies exposed publicly.
In one breath in your posts you state that cost is no object when it comes to quality. In your next breath you complain at length about the cost of something.
You show more faces than Janus and then complain and cry martyr when someone holds up a mirror to your trolling. Boo hoo. I am bored at your antics.
those are easy to find,,they are laying all over the place
hmm ok that is more elusive then what i am after...Mortar V1 it barely resembles the version's that followed,making it that much harder
Really gettin' good now (-;Hell, I just wanna know if the OP is convinced yet....interesting thread
As for the OP being convinced or not, meh.
Me on the other hand, I've been fence sitting for a good while but I'm feelin the pull to the dark side somethin' fierce as a result of followin' the fun here.
