whats so great about provari?

[Arch]

I'm not going to bother reading the 16 pages of assumed bickering, but in case there's still any doubts or questions, it pretty much all boils down to getting what you pay for.

If you decide you'd like a $35-50 mod such as the Vamo V5, then it will vape fine and you'll more than likely be happy. You will deal with a cheaper quality device, you will deal with rattle snaking due to voltage dropping and you will deal with not having any warranty or cushion behind your devices life. However, you only spent $35-50 on your Vamo V5 and whether it lasts you 3 years or 3 months, it's not a massive loss on your end.

If you decide you'd like a $160-180 Provari, then you will receive the best regulated mod there is on the market right now (of course you can argue about dna's, shush ). However, it boils down to whether or not you want to pay that money. Do you think the extra $120~ is worth having a lifetime of support and warranty options? Do you want to have the ease of mind that if you drop your Provari down a flight of stairs, you can send it in to ProVape and have it fixed for free within 3-5 days? Do you want a heavy, quality made product built in the United States? Do you want to eliminate rattle snaking and voltage dropping so you get a clean, smooth vape from a fully charged battery down to the very last drag your battery can handle? That is up to you.

At the end of the day, you'll get your nicotine fix. You'll get your cloud of vapor and you'll enjoy yourself. Every drag you take off your electronic cigarette will be a drag you didn't take off an analog cigarette and that's a win whether you're using an Evod battery or a Provari. It's simply up to you what quality of device you want and how much you want to spend.

Take care

I must say that I always love the Provari pro and con threads...better than the Hatfields & McCoys!

From a solely factual point:

Pro: Provaris are built better than pretty much any other tube mod on the market. I do admire their construction. For many, that is reason enough to buy one and I have no argument there.

Cons: 1. For the quality of the vape, it IS expensive, period. While you can vape well on a Provari, there are no mystical qualities.

2. The features and electronics are out dated. No one can reasonably argue that a DNA 20/30 mod is not vastly superior from an electronics view point. They simply are. For that matter, my Innokin VTR sports a more advanced microprocessor/board that easily fires sub ohm coils.

Does that mean that one should/should not buy a Provari?

Not at all, within its feature-set limitations, the Provari is one well-built mod and some folks will simply want this kind of quality. At the same time, you can buy a Vamo or SID for a fraction of the price and get a better feature set, albeit with less durability.

It is all a matter of what you are looking for...no right or wrong to either decision, just a matter of what means the most to you as a vaper.

Sorry, the above points 'cons' 1 & 2 are not factual, just your opinion.

1) Provari costs about the same as 28 - 35 packs of cigarettes and is less expensive than;
Semovar / nivel - ZNA / dna30 - Hana modz / dna 20-30 - Futura / dna 20-30 - Mamu mods dna 20 - Reo and quite a few 'non clone' mechanical's.

2) The Nivel or Dna 20 may be better in some folks opinion, for someone like me they've proven to be far too fragile for daily usage.
Not knocking the VTR, but, it uses a 48hz chip (47.2hz actual), IMO definitely not superior to 800hz.

It does what I want, no other justification is necessary.

As OP now has the required amount of posts, moving-

 

[Credo]

In which case, you crown is doing all of those things. Your mechanical is doing none of it. I would argue that it is no longer a mechanical at all since it has a regulated output.

Mechanical mods have their strengths, but also some weaknesses.

It's still very much a mechanical mod.
The button is still all mech.
In this case there is no wire, nor solder in the mod itself.

The power source is just regulated as if it's a part/extension of the battery.

So when kicked, it becomes a 'regulated mech'.
Take the kick out, and it's an 'unregulated mech'.
The mod itself is not changed at all...you are just stuffing different stuff into the battery tube.

A mech in my view is any battery tube with no wires or solder. It has a more mechanical style button.

Hybrid mechs will have most of the features of a mechanical, but may have wire and solder in there somewhere....actually built into the mod in a 'non-removable' way.

You see it your way, I see it mine. We have both stated our points.

Let's disagree in an agreeable way and move on.

Happy Vaping.

No problem. It is a quite different experience from using a Provari, and it's not one without cons to go with the pros. So to each their own

 

[Ref Minor]

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 ?

SvoëMesto Semovar, vv/VW, 1 year warranty, modular, German engineered.

For tubes with a screen and all...possibly the Futura?
https://nexgenvapor.com

It's a much newer product from a much newer company, so it's likely that it won't be quite as 'refined' when it comes to sorting out production issues and problems that can occur out in the wild...and it might take longer to get your hands on one, but feature for feature, it should be a strong contender?

You are uncharacteristically slow, RM. It has already been suggested....

I absolutely agree with this sentiment. I love my mechanical, and I would never give it up. Sometimes, 15 watts is just not enough...

 

[tj99959]

Hell just spend $279 for a ZNA, and you won't need a $159 Provari.

 

[Seann.V91]

Or get both

Absolutely. I researched every tube mod between $100 and $400, and the Futura, for me, is the best choice for my money. I'm really looking forward to receiving mine.

 

[Seann.V91]

When i bought my provari i was working at target and we all know that by now target pays every single employee crap because they pay their managers up the ..... And from the day i recieved it until now it was worth every shoplifter i apprehended or prevented from a theft incident..because i would pull my provari out of my pocket and it would be it mint after all the grappling and agressive arrest. Although my first mod was a vamo v3 it broke within a week..i didnt even drop it..the center pin just broke off. Then i bought the provari since the reviews made it seem like the pinnacle and i usually am very happy with anything that is USA made. If i were to do it agai i wouldve bought the provari in the very beginning

 

[brickfollett]

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

I respectfully beg to differ. My RSST is running 2.4 ohms on a ten or so wrap microcoil, and while it takes a second to spool up (TURBO!) The flavor is phenomenal and I don't feel the need for a low ohm build. I've always liked higher ohm builds anyway

And for the record, the Provari's ohm checker has read a 0.9 ohm coil for me before. The reason it doesn't do so hot on the sub ohm builds is because it thinks it's a short. Maybe that's self explanatory, but not an issue for me

Sorry, anything that does not have reverse battery protection is outdated.

So by that definition, a ProVari is a Hybrid Mech? It has two wires only, but they are pretty big ones, and the button is pure mechanical 100% copper leafspring, just like an old IBM keyboard.

I haven't read many comments at all, but here's my

I started with cig-alikes, then went to egos. Those weren't satisfying, and my egos didn't last long at all. I moved up to an itaste SVD, and that was great. Until my 510 threads stripped after about 9 months. I got an MVP2 and that was WAY better than the SVD, as far as vape quality. That is, until the battery got to about 3.7 volts. Then the quality of the vape dropped off horribly, just like my SVD had. Since my SVD was useless to me (I only use 510 threaded toppers), I finally decided on a Provari for the warranty and build quality. I didn't actually expect the vape to be any better than my MVP 2, but I needed something that would last a while, so I could stop replacing devices at least once a year.

When I got my Provari and started vaping on it, I seriously couldn't believe it did vape better than my MVP 2. Even my husband (not a vaper, but a smoker) could tell a difference. I never get crappy vapes on it. The first puff on a fully charged battery is the same as the last when the battery dies. Not to mention how tough and well built the thing is. In 18490 mode it weighs more than my SVD (with the same size battery). The threads are super smooth, it's a good size, and the warranty is excellent

Provaris aren't for everyone, I guess, but I'll never buy another cheap APV again after having something that actually works and works well. There's nothing wrong with Innokin, in general, or any other popular APV. But personally, I won't be spending money on something that might or might not work for a while, and will instead invest in something that can be fixed if something goes wrong with it.

Sure, it can be considered a hybrid mech.
