whats so great about provari?

There's absolutely nothing that the provari can do that a mech can't do better...<snip>

Here are four things a ProVari does that no mechanical will ever do.

1. Deliver precisely regulated voltage of any voltage the user wants between 2.9 and 6.0v.
2. Check the ohms of the atty attached to it.
3. Provide a safety cut out in the event of a short.
4. Give an accurate battery life reading via display.


I own a mechanical and love it, but what you said in this post is just not accurate.

ProVaris are too "ugly and outdated" to be a status symbol anyway......
I love it ugly and outdated!!!!!

I would rather have an ugly outdated made in amercia provari than a cheap Chinese piece of garbage that breaks in a few months

Mech can do it with better response time when you power the device, it just require a little math

2. Check the ohms of the atty attached to it.

Volt and ohm reader for 10 bucks?

3. Provide a safety cut out in the event of a short.

Protected batteries?

4. Give an accurate battery life reading via display.

Do you really need that after owning your gadget/battery for more than 3 days?

I guess some do need the third wheel.

Now try going near 1.1 ohm, I heard that's the sweet point for most RBAs...

I always build my coils to 1.1 or 1.2... and vape them on my Provaris. Never had an issue.

 

[LandCloud]

Provari is great.

After trying to help a provari owner use her/his protank for an hour...I realized them ....tey provaris do not have adjustable connector pin

yeah 180 bucks and top notch stuff

That's what you heard or know??
I have my RBA at 1.0 on the ProV, and it is pretty sweet.

I believe the Protank and iClear30 are the only tanks that have issues with airflow. My B&M doesn't even sell the Protank anymore, but they do sell lots of Provaris.

Seems there's strong opinions on the Provari.
Started a month ago with an itaste vv, good outfit, like it, but it has limitations on battery life & it's useless once the batt dies.
Next I got a vmod XL for the huge juice capacity & a big 18650 battery, it's a great on the go device & the battery really does last all day, or more. But ... vape does diminish as the battery output drops. Don't want to mess w/ a kick.
I'm looking for a daily go-to device currently & I do recognize the benefits of variable voltage, mostly to tailor the vape for different liquids.
The cost isn't much of a concern considering all the intermediate devices I wouldn't be buying.

So .. Just out of curiosity, If I wanted an equivalent device to the Provari ( variable, changeable batts, reliable ) what other options are there ?
Or is a Provari the only game in town ?

ProtoVapor, REO, Semovar.

Yeah they do. I screwed my Hippo on too tight once. I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the pin back up out of the ProVari.

Edit: For the thread in question, this is not an appropriate course of action. The fault is clearly with the atty.

Adjustable pins tend to leak juice into places that don't like juice and fry things. Sealed connector's=top notch stuff

 

[KjAthena]

my protanks have no problems with my Provari or any other device since I upgraded them all with areo bases. I do like my protanks they did have problems with leaking and airflow until I got the bases to upgrade them. The problem the poster in the thread that was linked was a protank issue not a provari issue

1. Everysingle part in it is USA made
2. It's 99% accurate in all .1 increments in the variable voltage feature
3. It will protect your battery and atomizer from frying due to the safe circuit built into the device
4. It's solid, you can nuke the earth and every single provari on earth will outlive any living thing...even roaches
5. It already comes with a 1year warranty
6. If you have the previous provari you can upgrade for the new one for about 20 dollars or I think a little bit more
7. Since it's so accurate you can use this device to check resistance ohms like you would on a meter
8. Every vape is the same until the last when your battery dies at 3.2 v
9. It is a timeless piece
10. Only a provari can destroy another provari
11. If you try to cut it with a diamond, the diamond turns into grain and then melts
12. Provape is one of the best customer service
13. It's not as big as it looks in the pictures, the diameter of the tube is 22MM it's a perfect grip in the hands
14. The threads on the tube and battery caps are so precisely cut it's like cutting butter with the sharpest knife when screwing the caps into the tube
15. Provari(Ferrari) > Innokin products(made in China) - provari is an elite level device, which means if you pull it out of your pocket it's as precious as the holy grail
16. That's why it's $180

Crazy you met PBusardo! If I met him, I would probably get on all fours and worship him for a full minute before talking to him.
Haha JK, thats pretty cool though, he seems like he would be a cool dude to talk to

Really down to earth guy. He was just walking through and talking to people. He spent a lot of time talking to people as well. He's very passionate about vaping as is Dimitris.

I think that's what kind of sold me on it. Here's a guy who can have any mod he wants. I mean the guy gets stuff sent to him for free. Here, try this, try that Please vape this. He is not fettered by buyers remorse, he doesn't have an emotional attachment one way or the other regarding how much he spent or didn't spend on something. He's tried 300+ dollar mods that do less and 30 dollar mods that do more. And he always has his ProVari around because they just work...... That's all that needs to be said on the subject

I'm glad I found this thread, I'm very much a guy that is more function over form, a guy that looks for the best deal. And while I'm going to either order an mvp2 for a vamo v5 I have hard time believing that the provari is in a different league than these two. If someone could chime in and explain. I plan on getting either of those two as well as a provari in the future, mainly because of the buzz around these forums. But is it really worth the price tag it has?

With the caveat that I have not owned an MVP2 or Vamo, I can say that my first Provari was so worth the price tag that I've purchased 3 more since then - one for my boyfriend, who's very happy with his (he's a mechanic so he's big on build quality), and another full size and a Mini for me. I am thinking about getting another for my mom. She'll be 80 this year and has smoked since she was 15. She's tried a few cheap starter kits so I know the interest is there. I figure if I get her a Provari I only have to help her with toppers when she has problems (I'm 50 miles away). I know the Provari will never fail her. It takes half of the potential issues out of the equation.

I fits not too much trouble could you tell me what exactly it is about that provari that your prefer over other mods?

 

[PLANofMAN]

Edit: wrong person, sorry.

 

[OSUkhoas]

Just click on her ProVarinati Signature. It will take you to the source of her happiness.

For some reason on my iPad I cannot click her sig, I'll have to try later on my MacBook.

2.90 out of 4 ain't bad
I'm holding a $30 Mech in my hand that does all that but the battery meter part, and it doesn't have quite the voltage range. Granted I had to drop a little $35 dollar Crown button in there to make it happen, but mod itself is still a Mech. It also does a few things the Provari doesn't, like adjustable air flow, comparable durability and function at a lighter weight and lower profile, the option the use it fully unregulated, and taking a wider variety of battery types and sizes out of the box, and at no extra charge. Can drop the Crown and do the Kick 2 instead, and trade the Ohm meter and VV option for VW from 5-15 watts, and the option to run atties as low as 0.5 Ohms.

Having said that...there's still a lot of stuff the Provari has that my mech doesn't.
1. LED Display (Crown beeps and sings to you instead)
2. Reverse polarization protection (putting the battery in backwards). Well...the Crown sorta has it since the magnets don't stick on the battery the wrong way, but not to the extent of the Provari.
3. The warranty/service doesn't even begin to compare with those from ProVape.
4. AC Pass through option.
5. As many cool third party accessories designed to match up in both look and function.
6. It's US made (A plus for me).
7. The same look/feel/heft.

Other devices offer different pros and cons as well. I.E. Touch sensor switches, bottom feeders, alternate power sources, built in chargers, absurd upper power ranges.

In short...get what you like and can afford. In general...we get what we pay for. While I've run into some who have tried, yet choose to use other Mods over their Provari, I've not heard anyone saying it wasn't for the most part, worth the asking price to them.
