You can get one output at flat dc with the same power as another output with a pulsed rms output, and I imagine it's going to have a detectable difference in taste.
The provari produces a dc output but other devices also do it as far as I know; I believe the MVP's also produce a dc output.
I imagine the cheaper voltage regulation devices would use the simple waveform.
Been vaping a month now, analog free for that time also.
I occasionally read posts about the provari, but fail to understand how it can be better than an innokin or other mod?
You bring the juice to a heat source, vaporize it, and inhale. It seems the atomizer is the deciding factor on quality, and juice of course, so why the big hubbub over the power source?
This is not an invitation for snobbiness or mean comments, just trying to learn!
Well, some very good points have been made here!
I will go to provape and order one!
I personally don't do anything for status, I slayed my dragons at a younger age. I drive the car I drive for its performance, and will vape a mod for tha same reason!
Thank you all for teaching me!
Exactly; for the same rms power, the fluctuating output will give a slight burn mxed with wet vape; the contant dc will give a smoother vape.
the evolv kick2 is supposed to also give a flat dc output.
You nailed that! I actually used to ask my buddy "what were you thinking? I got this itaste for half the price you paid." Now look at me today. I'm ordering a mini when I receive my bonus check in march.
I have the full size version but the mini is so dang small I can't resist.
I don't have a problem with your view on the Provari. To each their own. Its the general comment that we will come in here and try to cause trouble. The problem I have is with others putting a group down that they know nothing about, as well as a device that they know nothing about. Some people like drama. It's ironic that a person makes a statement that they are shocked that people haven't started trouble yet and then you just wait on it. If you poke a dog long enough, it will bite. Am i defensive about the comment you made about a wonderful group of people that I've come to know and respect? You bet! Am I agitated that you made a comment just asking for those of us to stand up for one another? You bet. I think people should stick to the original OP's question about Provari's and leave it at that. Everyone has their own opinion, it's when you generalize a group of people that you obviously have no clue about is when I get defensive. "as if on cue". I had read my previous posts and none are agitated or defensive, just the one about your post. Because I don't like people putting others down for no reason, especially ones that they know nothing about.
Not entirely true. The ProVari uses PWM, but it does so at 800 MHz whereas most Chinese variable voltage devices do so at 33.3 MHz. The pulse of 33.3 times per second is noticeable, but when you turn it up to 800 times per second it's not. In fact, the output is "almost" identical to a flat DC signal, which results in a very smooth vape.
The fact that it's built to military grade specifications doesn't hurt either, or the fact that of all the regulated vaping devices out there it has the most safety features.
The button is rated for 5,000,000 presses too.
Actually, you're almost right. It uses a switching power supply, that is necessary to reduce heat and not waste battery life. The switching is 800,000 Hz, though. It is as flat a DC signal as any battery operated device will produce in this day and age.
It's definitely not a status thing for me either. I don't show mine to other people and I surely don't need a Provari for some "status". In fact, I don't think I have anything that's a "status symbol". I earn that with who I am and how I treat people. Material things mean nothing to me. I'm willing to bet that 99% of Provari owners don't buy them for a status either. I can't even wrap my mind around that sort of thinking.
Actually not true at all. I can only measure the output as AC voltage on my Fluke meter. All my other mods (mechanicals and a Semovar) measure in DC voltage.
I don't think I can improve on Tina's post at all but here goes.
It got to a point when someone would ask about a Provari that many Provari owners were reluctant to say anything. Almost all of the Provari users use other devices but were a bit uneasy about mentioning them. It can eventually eat at you. I think you saw a push back by Provari owners. It has the feature set, durability, size, and vape quality that I want, that should not make me an elitist.
We honestly like to use the Provari and should feel free to say we do.

One thing though. I'd have preferred the full size Provari to have the same droplet pattern as the mini.
I have droplet and stripes. I don't know which I like better. I do wish I could have been consistent across the board though.
Yes, I want that. Brand new 65 mustang exactly as built in 1965.
Me too. I've seen some with paint jobs painting in some of the tear drops. Looks real purdy.
?
I get a DC voltage on my vamo once I set it to VV.
You are getting an AC voltage on a provari? what voltage?
I won't get to experience a custom paint job though, as I'm ordering a mini with hybrid colors red/black. Maybe if I ever get a good idea on the standard provari.
ProVaris are too "ugly and outdated" to be a status symbol anyway......
I love it ugly and outdated!!!!!
I don't recall the voltages since it's been a few months but yes I do recall AC volts at 870 hz. I need to bring my meter home tomorrow.
I happened to pick one up off of craigslist by a fluke for a steal. That being said I have used many other VV/VW mods and killed all. From a drop or juice leaking ect. So to sum it up i have beaten the hell out of this Provari and just wont die the tube has dents in it the top cap is cocked. Also dropped it in a puddle once let it dry out and still working. As to the function and the smooth vape it give for everyday use I do not think I could have done better.
Side note I was one of the types that used to shun this mod, little did i know it was such an tank and would have saved me LOTS of money in the long run.
