Why is a Provari P3 even a viable choice.

I never said the Hana's don't sell the real model. In fact my friends which own a Hanna own the real ones not the clones, because of the lack of quality with the clones. The same people will buy a Provari because it's a Provari and not a clone. Provape is smart and they know the 20 watt P3 will please Provari owners. If a Provari owner wants more watts they will look at the real Hana. I guess it boils down to we want quality, excellent service, and dependability.China companies are only looking at volume.

You pretty much proved my point while disagreeing with me..... Provari owners who want more power will go get a Hana. They would be happier getting a provari.... Then there's those of us who won't look at a provari because of the power limitation.

The battery safety issue doesn't work for me..... It wouldn't be hard for them to limit the output based on what mode the mod was in, only allowing 30 watts when in 18650 mode. Besides, there's already batteries on the market that shouldn't be used in a 20 watt mod..... That is why they have suggested batteries.

I didn't buy into the hype. That was until a couple weeks ago, curiosity finally got the best of me and I picked up a used 2.5.

First off. I'm not a cloud chaser, but yes I have a few mech mods with sub ohm drippers, just for when I feel like playing around or annoying the wife. LOL

I'm am ex pack and a half a day smoker, and until I picked up the provari I was only somewhat satisfied with the amount of vapor and flavor I was getting, I use a modified Nautilus and Kayfun 3.1 for my everyday, "puffers". After running itaste mods, Tesla mod, kanger spinner, and a few others, I can honestly say I am extremely satisfied with the 2.5. Actually wanting to pick up a mini soon too, as well as the P3. They are just work horses that perform the way I want them to, and it's simple as that.

I'd still love to pick up a WAE III, when they come out, or a ZNA. But those will just be icing on the cake. Like em or not the provari are built extremely well, and perform extremely well.

Like I said I avoided them for a long time because of the hype, now I wish I hadn't, just because they fit my vaping style perfectly.

been seeing alot of hype around the release of the new Provari. now im not trying to say its bad or anything but I dont know why people prefer a it as expensive as it is with such a useless power output. i guess they would be great for a newbie and ive heard they last for ever as far as regulated VW/VV devices go but seriously who the ....... pays that much for a device that puts out 20w. now 20w is fine for an all day vape but how are you going to expand into trying higher powered vapes when your so limited in power range, when you can get a DNA or 50W+ device for a fraction of the price and have a better quality more powerful vape, seems like madness to me


Isn't this kinda like asking "Why buy a MiniVan or a Crossover when a Pickup Truck does more ?"
I don't own a ProVari, but I do own seven Reos Mods. Why pay $170 for a little wooden box with a couple wires inside ? Because I want to.
I've heard both arguments, "Cloud Chasing" to "Weak and Out-Dated". Either is better than Smoking Tobacco...

All of your questioned answered here by ProVape.

When will the device be available?

A: We don't have a date set yet. Right now we are going to do a roll out to our dealers for a beta period. We have already done lots of testing in house and everything is working great, we just want to allow our resellers the first chance to try it out and provide feedback. Our dealers will be the first to offer the P3 for sale, but it will also be on our website at some point, so this is not going to be a dealer only product forever

Q: How much will it cost?

A: We don't have a price set yet. It's TBD. Once we have this information we will let you know.


Q: What comes included with the standard kit?

A: The P3 comes with the device itself and two extension rings to allow all three battery sizes to be used. The first release will be available in satin silver only. More colors will be available soon.

Q: Why does the device not go to 30, 40, 50+ watts and down to lower ohms?

A: The engineers at ProVape believe that this is the limit that they can be assured is safe for Vaping. Safety is of paramount importance to ProVape. Our market is mainstream Vaping. ProVape's mission has always been to provide systems that are effective alternatives to analog cigarettes. We are confident that the voltage/wattage limits give our customers the means to do exactly that.

Within the parameters of the ohms and wattage ratios within the P3, it is entirely possible to produce significant clouds of vapor if that is what the customer is wanting to do.

Q: Can I upgrade my V2.5 to a V3 - This is a completely different system and build, and we are not able to do upgrades from the original ProVari to the new one.


We will do our best to answer additional questions as we go, if we have the information available.

As new connections become available, the P3 will be able to adapt with screw-in adapters. Ego style adapters will be sold separately. As new tanks are developed with the P3 thread, they will adapt for a clean hybrid look.

● Left & Right handed mode allows the user to select which way the display reads.

● Check All mode allows the user to see all their critical settings at a quick glance with one button press (adjustable settings).

That's why we chose ProVari.

Provari is a beginner-level vaping device. It would be a shame to put any of my collection of RDAs on such a device... I don't think that any of them would even fire.

Yeah, it sure is. I'm trying to get out of diapers but it just ain't working. Do you offer educational services so I could learn a thing?

I guess what I meant is that although Provari is a quality device that works great for what it does and will last a long time, it is for people who want an alternative to smoking cigarettes. And it is a high-end alternative.

But, for people who are vaping because they love vaping and strive to push to the extremes while enjoying a much more advanced hobby, the Provari doesn't work.

Meh... Some people like iPhone, and some people justify crappy phones... :p

Just kidding! People have their own preferences, one is not better than the other. You like an e-cigarette that you can tinker with. I like an e-cigarette that "just works". Neither is inherently better than the other. (Although, I think we can all agree that not all iPhone/Provari alternatives are on the same quality level)

lol ... strive to push to the extremes :blink:
Well there is a point where extreme vaping is more for the thrill of the hobby than it is similar to cigarettes. I mean, people with large cigars don't blow clouds like this. They also don't take straight-to-lung hits. It is a different and unique experience. It may take the place of smoking cigarettes, but that is no longer the drive to continue, it is the excitement of the pursuit of the vape clouds.

Nobody starts at this scale, though. They start at more of an entry level, possibly with a cigalike like an e-go. And then they might make a small step up to something like a Provari. And some will just be forever contented at that point. But, for others, there is more.
