Which new Provari to get.

[RobFindlay]

So to celebrate my 2 year anniversary of my chrome Provari--most reliable device I've ever owned--I'm going to buy a 2nd one.

So I have two questions:

First, I really like the look of the black satin finish, but my concern is how well does that finish hold up to scratches?

*Edit: Answered my own question, it does.* Second, I'm assuming this is the case, but you *can* get a matching end cap?

Man, I think black satin with a blue LED would be pretty as heck.

Agreed. Black satin with blue LED sounds sharp. I purchased my first Provari (after a collection of over a dozen assorted mods) about 3 months ago. It has been ultra reliable. I did drop it (more like "fling" it) once, very sharply as I was closing my car door wiith mod in hand. It flew several feet and slid along the asphalt. I purchased the white one, so although it continues to work perfectly, a couple of minor scratches (scrapes) managed to show through. If I had black, most likely no sign at all.

 

[Shootist]

Yes there are matching end caps, 18650 cap, for every color offered.

I'd get the provari that will be releasing soon: P3.

Congrats on 2 years with the provari?!

 

[freeatlast!]

The black with blue is very nice, yes. I immediately wrap my ProVari's in clear self-adhesive laminate, so I don't worry about the scratches, etc.

I would wait for V3, unless you want to save some money and take a look in Provape's clearance section. They have some "blems" (blemished Provari's) there for cheaper pricing. From what I've read here, the so called blems aren't really all that blemished. Whatever little scratch in the finish exists, it's not noticeable.

I suppose I should hurry up and order this as my good old stand-by porvari, is, well I hate to even say it, starting to malfunction.

I'll likely get a local guy here who works on them to fix it, but damn, exactly 2 years lol.

I would wait for the v3. Send your old one to provape and have them fix it.

So what's the big deal with the v3? Variable wattage?

No one knows. No information has been released yet.

Soooo...how does anyone know it'll be released at all? You could be waiting a long time for a piece of (chuckle) vaporware....

 

[RobFindlay]

Also as much as I trust the guys at Provape being an early adopter of e-cig stuff has bit me in the wrong way more than once.

I have a feeling, there wont be much if any of any "early adopter" issue with the P3.

I dont think they're reiventing the wheel here.. In all likelyhood, they are going to put out a device that can put out the same amount of power as DNA30 devices.

I wouldn't be TOO surprised if they even used the DNA30 chip.. though knowing Provape, they will probably develop their own tech.


Have you watched the two part, almost 80minute long video series from PBusardo, where he visited Provape, did an indepth tour of the facility, and a lengthy interview with the owners of Provape?

Its worth a watch.

Im a mech guy, have been for a while, and I dont see myself going back to regulated devices as my daily vape.. but I still have my Provari, its the only regulated device I still even bother to use for occasional situations. And after watching the videos, I felt even more proud that my only regulated device is the Prov.

After watching Phil's big video on ProVape, I immediately wanted a ProVari. If there weren't so many rumours floating around about an imminent (hopefully) V3, I'd probably have already bought a V2.5.

But I'm the kind of doofus that would be kicking himself if the new one came out about a month after I got my "old" ProVari.

It's just the consumerist in me. I try really hard to ignore that little voice. But he gets LOUD sometimes.....

My Provari is not malfunctioning.

Unrelated: It's amazing that after two years what a little mild cleaning will do to your P2's 510 connector.

I would be pretty surprised if the just stuck a DNA-30 in there. Surprised, and disappointed.

They have the know-how to make their own chip, and then to release a device that uses a third party chip unable to regulate the voltage down? Nah, pretty unthinkable to me.

Just from watching PBusardo's video of the Provape facility and the interview with the owners of Provape, I was immediately impressed with the number of aerospace engineers who work for Provape. Think about it. NASA et al focused on safety, minuturization, and energy efficiency for the space program.

I look for a very small mod, perhaps smaller than the Mini Provari. I also look for a more energy efficient mod that can go longer on a battery than current standards.

I doubt that Provape would utilize a third party chip. Both Evolve and Provape have denied any collaboration with each other.

Other than that....I got nuth'n.

 

[Dampmaskin]

The current Provari is 90-95% efficient according to Provape, so there doesn't seem to be that much theoretical room for improving the energy efficiency. But a smaller mod would be awesome.
