I got a provari v2 1.5 years ago, when i stepped up from ego-c batts

It's never ever failed me

I bought a SS Vamo for some $45, worse device I have ever gotten

Nowadays I mostly use Mech mods, but as I have been learning and playing with micro-coils my provari has been seeing some renewed loved lately.

After the VAMO, the provari is the device I use the least (the vamo is pretty much just an ohm reader for me)

I feel I wasted $45 on the VAMO, have never regretted buying the Provari

Why? well, the deal breaker is that the vamo uses what, for my use, is a very bad / weak pulse-width-modulation signal, it does not give you a constant power output but a sig-saw one

This makes it worthless for RBAs / low ohms / micro-coils, at least after using the same device on top of a provari where the signal is completely flat

also, at least using 18650 batteries (all I use) the power goes down as the battery drains. try it, put your vamo at 15W on a fresh battery, measure the volts, use it one or two hours, measure again, by the time the battery is at 3.7 or 3.6 volts the power output is VERY weak

the provari will give you the voltage you set it at until it dies

another negative, the FREAKING SIZE

As for price, well, chinese labour and QC ain't american labour and QC (and I am not american nor I live in the USA)

finally, customer service, call / email provape, they will take care of you, FAST

Who are you going to call if your vamo fails? it's more of a disposable device (the seller? good luck after 30 days, at best)

Again, I'm not a fanboy of the provari, I much more enjoy my mechs these days (MKB-TS, smok Natural, K100, etc), but when it comes to regulated power the provari is the best I have tried (have never used a Darwin ~wonky looking, $240~, Buzz Pro etc)

There's a whole thread in the general APV sub-forum about showing off your wood.

ETA:

These are the ones that make me drool:

Those look very cool and "steampunkish" but is it just me or does the one in the middle kind of look like a weird cross between a robot and the "jack in the box" dude?

Find the volume of the Sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ≤ R^2

Solution.

We calculate the volume of the part of the ball lying in the first octant (x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z ≥ 0), and then multiply the result by 8.

This yields:

As a result, we get the well-known expression for the volume of the Sphere of radius R.

Yeah, with the round thingy on top. I used to know what those are and where to get them, but I forgot.

Lets add some fuel to the fire… The provari and other mods, Vamo, Zmax, ect. are nothing more than a glorified eGo twist. I can hang an eGo on a lanyard around my neck comfortably. I can put it in my pocket without it dragging my pants down to my ankles. I can put just about any type of tank on one. I can even put a dripping device on one, in fact there is more options you can do with an eGo than you can do with any other unit out there. Truth be told, an eGo is the most versatile device known to vaping, hence the superior device.

This might be profound, I have no idea. Totally didn't read it, cause I was distracted by this guy having the GREATEST AVATAR EVER!!! Kudos my friend. Go Pats.
