Wouldnt that high a voltage blow out the coil? I thought anything over 8.5 watts was bad for the coils.

The on off switch on the bottom controls the ability to recharge other devices, it's not an on off switch per se, I modded my unit by unscrewing the bottom and pushing the button underneath, then screwing it in. I lose the ability to use it as a charger hub, but I took away the very slight wobble.
There is no right or wrong, it's a matter of preference. I have a Micro USB Charger at work, in my car, in my house and in addition, I always have a USB charging bank with me. Because it works as a passthrough [When on Orange, not when totally drained] the inability to change the battery has never bothered me.
I really like the simplicity, I don't have to carry weighty batteries around with me.
Much ado is made out of the "It's disposable because you can't' change the battery" According to battery University a Lion battery will lose 20% of it's capacity after approximately 300 charges. What many don't realize is that if you run your battery down to 1/2 then recharge that counts as a 1/2 a charge. Based on this the Itaste MVP battery should last 2 years before losing 20% which would take you down to a day and a half. The battery technology in the unit is excellent, they use battery packs not cylindrical batteries and I believe that there is a little less compression and it's better technology [opinion not fact]
The Provari has it's place and back in the day it was the only decent VV unit on the market. These days there are more options, some with features that are more advanced then the Provari.

Not for an RSST 30 guage wire wrapped around cotton or mesh, no. No problems at all, other than I need to replace the cotton wicks every couple of days, and the mesh every couple of weeks or so.
What I mean is when the life cycle of the battery is over, not in the state of needing a charge. If I need to throw out an AW battery because it no longer holds a charge, I can replace it easily. The battery on an MVP is internal and cannot be replaced, at least by someone not knowledgable to do it.
Ahhhhh thats why, Ive only been using silica for my rebuilds. Gotta get into the cotton/mesh world someday
I think I may have added this part as an afterthought it addresses what you said.

Build quality.
If you compared fit and finish, as well as overall build quality next to your K200 you would see the difference, plus good electronics, etc.
Provaris can also be repaired.
I do tend to veiw most tube mods like you though, as battery holders with atty connectors on top. I am pretty sure Provape doesn't build their own atty connectors, those stilll come out of China I bet.

Racehorse,
I'm not so sure you are correct about the 510 connector. Compare it to any of your other APVs and there is a different look to the ProVari connector. It looks more like tool steel to me and I assume much harder than the Chinese versions.
However it is an interesting question that I would love to know the answer to.

Negative. Every part of the body is machined at Provape. Only the processor is imported. The board is domestic, and it's assembled with it's components at Provape as well.

I don't actually dislike the MVP,but really I don't need a bunch of features as I set it and forget it. So,for me ProVari is the better choice. We have a bunch of choices of devices. That is what is fun about this whole vaping thing.
Respectfully, I beg to differ. The Itaste MVP is much simpler to operate then a Provari. I set it and forget it.
Have you ever counted how many clicks on the Provari button you have to do if you miss the Voltage up or the Voltage down menu.?
I'd count it but I'm at my office on my MVP and my Provari is at home gathering cobwebs.
There is no simpler device then an Itaste MVP. Uses a standard Micro USB Cable. No unscrewing the top and changing the battery. Just plug it in. No Charger or battery decisions.
The Itaste MVP is the [Arguably] simplest device on the market.

Ha ha ha. Thats funny. I have both Provaris and the MVP. The MVP is great, but dont drop it. I did drop mine and had to buy another.
The menu on the Provari ? A chld of 6 could master in about two minutes.
Five clicks, power up.
Two more, power down.
Two more, turn device off
Two more, check battery
Two more, check ohms
All are easily identified by the menu that is displayed. The menu system is simple and easy. I learned it in minutes.
Of course you don't use yours, you are a sub-ohm guy. That's not what the ProVari is built or designed for.

Thunderball now we are talking. If you want to laud the Provari for it's ruggedness and quality, you won't see any objections from me. It is inarguably the most rugged, reliable, durable VV Mod on the market.

Eddard I was comparing to the Itaste MVP, I've managed to put all my other stuff in the shop. So the two units I have functioning are the Itaste MVP and the Provari.
Before you down the other devices quality. I learned a lesson, don't ever blow torch an RBA while it's still on your Bottom Feeder! I just couldn't get the bad taste out of my XS-116 Ceramic wick , sigh and got carried away. [BoneHead move for sure]
