I have one coming today, providing USPS is accurate! My reasons for ordering it were simple - I wanted something reliable, well made, relatively maintenance free with with interchangeable batteries. I wanted something that had a consistent vape. PBusardo and this forum sold me on the Provari, and I'm quite sure even without having it in my hand that for me it will be the perfect solution!
What is so great about a Provari?

Well, if the fact that NO other mod on the market is as reliable and durable, you can buy it now, vape it for 2 years, resell it on the market for 80% (or 100%) what you paid for it because by then, they'll probably cost more.
Then, you'll have gotten to vape a Provari for FREE instead of the 4 or 5 throwaway other type of batteries you bought that are worthless because they are broken by then?
There's no downside to owning a Provari.

Q: What is so great about a Provari?
A: B'coz, it is the MacBook ProVari of e-Cigarettes

You two need to get together and get the story straight before the mod police take you in for questioning.
I don't "need" a ProVari. I'm sure I could get by with a few eGo's and be happy. They work just as well keeping me off analogs. But when I started, I wanted a PV that lasted a long time and what I read was eGo's break easily. I wanted to buy one device that lasted a long time, easy to use and could support different delivery systems. So, I bought a ProVari. And I bought another one for a back up. I doubt I'll need any other PV unless I run over one with a lawn mower which is not likely to happen.
On the other hand, I buy equipment for a friend. Since April, I've given her two EVOD's which was a kit that came with a charger, and clearos, four 450 eGo clones, one 1000 eGo twist, and two 650 eGo twists, all she has broken. And she has bought some 450 clones from the local cigarette shop which are crappier than anything I've got for her. Today she called me, said she broke another eGo and finally wants to try something that will last longer. I loaned her my back up ProVari (which will probably end up me giving it to her). She still using analogs but two hours after I dropped it off at her house and showed her how to use it she called me back up and said she couldn't stop using it and now is worried she is going to get nicotine poisoning.
She now thinks she can beat analogs with this new device that she didn't really want in the first place because it's larger and less inconspicuous than an eGo. She also mentioned she likes how easy it is to screw the pieces together. She also likes that it stands up on it's own. She knows nothing about different devices or the costs so her opinion is strictly based on smoking and eGo's. Time will tell if she stops using analogs but I'm excited to see if this works for her. If it doesn't, I'm taking my ProVari back from her and she can go buy her own equipment.

Why is the one negative opinion about the ProVari considered hating? So if your opinion differs your a hater?
Most ProVari owners do seem to have an almost elitist attitude toward lower-end mods, are you not haters yourselves. The one 'hater' who has four of the same mod is somehow different than the person that has three ProVari Mods?
There is certainly a bit of fanboism going on here, while I'm not saying it isn't warranted I'm just saying.
With that said I'm certain a ProVari is worth the money it costs, I'm also certain a VAMO is worth the money it costs. You usually get what you pay for from reputable vendors, be it a forty dollar mod or a two-hundred dollar mod.
What's so great about a ProVari? Genuine warranty, reliability, build quality, American engineered and assembled (if this matters to you). And while much less important you can see it has garnered a cult like following which is a testament to the qualities of the device.

Gosh, can you show me a post where a single person who has a Provari showed 'an elitist attitude' towards lower end mods? I still use my lower end mods every day... and are still collecting them
. Just got a 134 today, and I wuv it
. It's been pointed out plenty, but this is the Provari subforum, you'd expect most people who come here to like Provari. What is surprising is the number who come here just to complain about Provari, and none of them own one. You don't see Provari owners going to other dedicated sub-forums to complain at their mods that I've ever seen. It's not elitist at all to say that provari owners don't go to other dedicated subforums to complain, the owners of those units do plenty of complaining themselves, right
? I don't see any Provari owners complaining here tho.My favorite little mods, and my new lightsaber... whoohooo!:
I purchased my first Provari a few months ago. Previously used a Innokin Zmax mini. It was a good little mod, but the Provari was......better. Smooth vape, consistent, felt great in my hand, etc. I love it! I love it so much that I just purchased the black mini. The mini is amazing too! Love the size, thought it would be too small, but it is the perfect size. Thinking about selling my standard size, and getting another mini one. If you have the money, you can't go wrong with the Provari. Totally worth the cost.
@glassgal Fair enough, more what I meant was the 'buy junk get junk' type of remarks. What is that stubby little mech in the center?
Oh and using Tapatalk I didn't specifically come to the ProVari subforum, I like others are simply reading unread posts. In doing this you end up all over the place without necessarily knowing exactly where you are at any given time.
Left to right:
VTR w/ Vivi Nova BDC Glass,
134 w/ Steam Turbine,
Provari w/ Kayfun,
Provari w/ Prive,
Sigelei IChing w/ Ithaka (both broken atm- I dropped the ceramic cup in the Ithaka),
Ego Twist w/ Aspire ET-S BDC Glass,
Vision Spinner w/ ET-S BDC Glass,
Vision Spinner w/ Phiniac caps and my tank, (neurons)
Ego-C w/ RBA RDA Era Hornet (clone- stainless steel)
Ego-C w/ RBA RDA Igo-F
MVP2 w/ VV Pyrex stainless caps w/ my tank (black brocade)
I have more atomizers and batteries, but I use those the most

That steam turbine looks great on the 134. Kinda steam-punk.

This actually can not be further from the truth.
I used both ego twists and vamo v2 and v3.
Vision Vivi Nova Mini's and now Vision Vivi Dual Coil 3.5ml
I also have a Phoenix (A7 type) dripper
The dripper vapes so awesome on the Provari (same coil, same wick i was using on the Vamo, and trust me, it sucked)
The vape is way better, and different due to the why the circuit heats the coil.
You will have an ah ha (now i get it) moment.
Most likely it is not your tank, or atty, but your mod.
Yah... I agree with this. The battery comes before the atomizer. And for all those without a Provari, the taste IS different... as in COMPLETELY different with a Provari in some cases.
I was getting to throw out/give away/resell the 4 Vivi Nova glass tanks I got in a coop, they stunk so bad on the MVP2. When I got the Provari, I was AMAZED. Now they're my favorite head tanks, and they work great in the VTR (and fit too!).
If you're testing atomizers, you NEED a Provari, for so many reasons. The only thing that doesn't taste better on the Provari are Ego threaded tanks, and that's only because I don't have a Provari adapter for them
. Plus, how do you test an atomizer if the entire time you are vaping it, it's changing because the battery power is going up and down, or simply declines the whole time? And that's not counting the free Atomizer ohm reader that comes in the Provari settings. The only ohmmeter I own are 2 Provari (I have a real one on the way, but there's no way I'd even attempt building if I didn't have a Provari... blowing my face off from a bad build is not appealing)...
btw, the single button options really aren't bad.
I thought, as long as the vape was good(and believe me, it is)
i would deal with the single button options menu, it takes a total of about 5 sec or less to check the battery. Once you get the feel for it, it's quick to do anything on it.
And VW is useless.

Variable wattage isn't useless, it's less useful if you don't change ohms a lot. Look how many ProVari owners would love to have VW, I bet 50%+ would upgrade for this option alone.
Count me out. Try as I have, I've been unable to detect any difference whatsoever between VV & VW. It might just be a personality thing, since I'm prone to change power for a variety of reasons, often within the confines of the same juice & toppers.
For ME, "Variable" is absolutely the KEY word in the equation. Without it I am lost - and yes, I've tried the high end mechs (DEFINITELY not my cuppa...).
So, "upgrade"? Nope - I'm good, but thanks anyway.
HOWEVER, you're probably correct. Many WOULD jump at it. But I'd also bet that 90% of those are vapers who haven't yet ventured into the VW world. Many who already have feel similarly to me. The evidence is here on ECF, for those who search it out.
That being said, I'd still strongly encourage anyone wishing to "upgrade" to go-for-it. It's good for the economy.
I now have 3 Provari's (the third was a gift), and I personally would not upgrade to VW even if it was offered for free. VV does everything I want or need it to.
You can measure ohm's resistance on the Provari. Since I don't do sub-ohms, I'm not sure if it will measure sub-ohm resistances; it may just give a LO error code (low ohms). If there is a short in the coil, the Provari will again give an error code.
