What's so great about Provaris?

[Newportlocal]

I have had my Provari mini for a long time. I have been waiting for the new version for a long long time and I was actually depressed when PBusardo said 20 watts prior to that point in the video I was super excited. If it had been 30 watts I would have been first in line to buy one.
As I stated elsewhere in comments I would be calling my vape shop owner friends trying to get a beta version while driving to Provape with a tent and a handful of cash to camp at the door. I am not a Provari hater. When I started vaping I used carto tanks and clearomizers so the 15 watts was enough. Most vapers that have been doing this a while and started with Provaris are using kayfuns and drippers now. Any DNA 30 device will run those. I don't expect to cloud chase or need the latest 1000 watt device as some wish to portray people wanting 30 watts. As a result of current reality I think the vapor shark RDNA is the best current device out there with an authentic Evolv chip for the money. For more money the Wizard Evolv is worth looking at as well. I wish I had the titanium version. When Provari does offer a 30 watt device I will still buy one, and that day will come. Hopefully,this year. I really wish Provape and John from Evov would get together they would make one heck of a baby! The only thing that makes sense is that they are erring on the side of caution until more studies like ones from Dr. Farsalino come out on 30 being a safe wattage to vape ejuice. I do think people stating the other side opinion shouldn't be bashed as haters.

The point is that the Provari isn't a high voltage dripper or a low resistance cloud blower. It's a highly reliable mainstream vaper tool.

Right on the money Dave-o.

I had the chance to buy a used mini but passed. Didn't like the 18350 batteries and didn't want to outlay the cash for extensions. That said, my take away was this thing is a tank. Plus, there's just something about a good old "made in the USA" mod.

 

[imsoenthused]

Same old ProVari thread. Lots of praise, a few valid criticisms, and a storm of pitchforks and torches towards anyone who dared say anything non positive. I have to say, as a long term ProVari user, it doesn't get any less disgusting to see, and it happens every single time. Grow up and put on your big boy pants, the ProVari speaks for itself and doesn't need you to defend it. "My steam powered horseless carriage isn't outdated if it still gets me to work every morning!" Acting like there aren't legitimate concerns and known issues with the ProVari is a disservice to the community and makes you come across as a rabid, brain dead fanboy.

Your kidding me right please say yes please. Just because something is a must have for you does not make it outdated. The mvp 2.0 that you did a video review of and gave rave reviews for you never once called outdated.

God forbid something doesn't have VW and doesn't meet YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS the WAY YOU want it to. That doesn't make it outdated it makes it a device that's not right for you.

With so much tech out there that meets your needs why don't you move on and quit harping on how everyone who enjoys using a provari has outdated equipment. I mean what is you fascination and fanatical drive to just troll on the provari move on and discuss the device you like with others that do

No- not kidding. You are suspiciously quiet about the specific aspects of the Provari that I pointed out as outdated sir! Also, thanks for bringing up the MVP 2.0! I don't use mine much anymore (replaced with Cloupor CHDNA 30) but that thing is also built like a tank, has VW, and mine still holds a great charge and performs like a champ after over a year. Also, I paid $35 for it brand new.

Please try not to get so frustrated with me- my observations on the Provari are specifically in response to the original question posed by the OP. I'm not hating on the Provari, just pointing out why it is outdated in terms of hardware and software. If I was the OP, I would be happy to hear the opinion from somebody who is NOT a die hard Provari fanboy...

OP if you're like me and are in to vaping for the long-haul you won't be disappointed by the Provari. That's how I look at it. It will be there when I need it and that's what I want out of an ecig/pv/apv device. It's all about what will work when ya need it to. I don't regret my Provari 2.5 purchase and I'm not sure I'll buy the new P3 since funds are limited. If I were you I'd wait for the P3 so you make a one time purchase. Don't buy a bunch of knock-offs that may or may not work. Save your money and invest it into something that'll work for you. Good luck!

If you don't hear from a Provari user then how are you gonna get a clue about it's use? From a bunch of non-Provari users? That doesn't even make sense. I hate the term Fanboy just because someone is passionate about their device. You've certainly been chirping on and on about yours. Does that make you a fanboy?

I know just as much about the use of a Provari as I need to and I'm in a better position to give an objective viewpoint due to the fact that I have no reason to defend it or put it down.

So you say. But you undermined your position by calling out "Fanboy" to Provari users making you appear to be a "Hater". It's turned into one of those relentless, never ending, non-productive threads that probably confused the OP instead of assisting them. You got sucked in to the grinder and everything comes out bad so the points that would or could be helpful are now made mute by conflict.

Bashing something is not being objective, in fact it's the exact opposite.

Never bashed it, just pointed out technological limitations.

I believe the topic is, "What is so great about a ProVari ?," not, "Why do people who don't have one hate them and those who do..."

 

[bcalvanese]

I challenge anyone...

If you know of a device that is as accurate and well built as the ProVari... Post it in this thread.

I dare you...

He specifically asked what makes them worth the price. If nothing necessarily makes them worth the price, then pointing out why it is not worth the price is an acceptable answer. To reiterate: outdated hardware, outdated software, lack of VW make the Provari (current version) NOT worth the price IMO.

Time to chill a bit in here. Don't make me put on my MOM hat.


Although, that kinda was...

I'm a fan of Provape's work.

I own two of their devices.
They work. Always. Every time.
Without fail.
And on the off chance it doesn't work, it can be reliably repaired, by one of only THREE Provape techs. Yeah, that's right. They only house three techs. For the countless number of devices they've sold.
THAT is how unfailingly reliable their devices are.
So there's a great reason to buy.

I do not feel they are outdated, but that's my OPINION.
As far as I have been taught, if something is still being produced, and used on a wide scale, it is not outdated. Just because a device does not contain the NEWEST technology possible, doesn't mean it's outdated.
Last time I checked, 7 section LED displays are on an almost infinite number of clocks, microwaves, ovens, watches, cars, etc...
The single button interface keeps things simple. And as far as I've ever seen, things are always made simpler, in an attempt to make them more "futuristic" and streamlined...

I feel the $160 for a Provari is worth every penny, because it has been for ME.

I completely agree with the people who point out where a Provari doesn't compare with other devices.
But that's the point.
Provape makes what THEY want to make, to the specs they feel SAFE with.

Regardless of what you feel the Provari IS or IS NOT capable of, nobody can deny that it is the SAFEST device on the market.

And that, my dear ORIGINAL POSTER, is another reason why I feel they are worth the money.

I'm going to get totally and completely trashed for this but, I have to AGREE with what you are saying here...yikes! (As I hide under the table..) ... I would MUCH rather have something with less restrictions...and for those who don't understand the restrictions the provari has, he has explained clearly some of them other restrictions would be not allowing a lower resistance coil and outdated hardware. Yikes.... (still hiding) I must be honest and this is my opinion. Before you burn me at the stake let me say, if you feel it's not restrictive and don't care about above mentioned things then yes it is a good device. But some people want a less restrictive device with newer technology. ......now, please don't hate me for my opinion. I'm entitled to have one as well as anyone. And I feel the money can be much better spent than on a provari. Names don't mean much to me. I'm looking at the technology and abilities. ....

 

[stevegmu]

The technology is in the safety features and clean power delivery, which no one can match. Stats on paper don't impress me; real world usage does...

Ok, I'll bite. Why is a Provari worth the price:

• It's been the most dependable, reliable, and durable regulated mod over the last four years. There's a reason why it set the standard for regulated mods. Many mods have come and gone, and none of them earned the title as the Provari Killer. This is one of the reasons that so many owners "defend" their Provari purchase. Most say they wished they had just purchased it 3 or 4 mods ago after those died an early death.
  
  
• Why do so many Provari owners own more than one? Because they recognize real value for the money and they're worth the extra cost to them. It comforting to know it will survive a 12 foot drop onto concrete or a dunk in the swimming pool. It's good to know something can be relied on to work each and every time you use it, and not break apart when it accidentally falls from a table onto the floor. Will that DNA box mod survive all of that?
  
  
• Unquestionable build quality and attention to detail. USA made parts and a great warranty to boot. Has anyone watched PBusardo's reviews of the build quality of the latest DNA box mods? If they come that poorly made to him for review, how long are they going to last for a real customer who paid hard cash for theirs?
  
  
• Superior voltage regulation. The last puff will be as good as the first. Other mods may have power regulation, but they will not be as accurate as a Provari. The 800 Hz PWM chip provides what many say is a "smoother vape", unlike the 33.3 Hz rattlesnake chip most Chinese manufactured mods use. My MVP vapes as good as my Provari's when fully charged, but towards the end of the battery charge it falls off just like a mechanical mod does. Not the Provari.
  
  
• The warranty and customer service. How many mods come with an actual 1 year warranty, and the option to buy a second year? How many manufacturers support their product for life? Which ones will return your mod within a week after service? I'll wait for your answer...
  
  
• Out-dated technology? Not every vapor wants to vape sub-ohms or vape over 20 watts. The mainstream vapers are perfectly content to use clearomizers, cartotanks, and Kayfun RBA's. Sure, if you vape sub-ohms or need over 20 watts power to get a satisfactory vape then a Provari is not for you.
  
  
• No variable wattage? So what? I've owned a ZMax with variable wattage and never understood its usefulness for the way I vape. All of my attachments use the same resistance. I'm changing voltage with each flavor I use (up to 3 - 4 a day, I like variety), so I'd be changing settings whether I had VW or not.
