I sure don't have a problem with that and I am glad you have a PV that works for you, that is what counts! A Provari is not for everyone. No harm in that! vape on

Trying to compare the Provari to an eVic or Vamo is like trying to compare a Corvette ZR1 to a Chinese Geely GT.
The ZR1 with it's "outdated" OHV engine, manual transmission and outrageous sticker price is clearly not as good as a Chinese sports car with a DOHC motor, automatic transmission, and lambo doors! I mean, they both have 4 wheels and a steering wheel and get you from A to B, so who would pay more for the Corvette?
I own a Vamo, eVic, and a Provari and I can honestly tell you there is a difference in performance. I happily gave up VW for a mod that's 10X more reliable and higher quality. You can blindfold me and I can easily taste the difference using the same juice.
Anyone want to buy an eVic?

I agree. I can't see spending the money on a provari. I think there are to way to many other choices that have more features and costs less money. I mean for $30 you can get a vamo that has more features!
I know the quality on the provari is better. But for the price of 1 provari I can get what; about 7 vamos? Now FastTech carries the itaste SVD for $39!
But of course, there are people out there that want to make you feel like you're not a TRUE vapor without at least one provari in your collection.
I could have grabbed 5 drop-forged chinese wrenches at the flea market today for the cost of two Craftsman wrenches ... I grabbed the 2 Craftsman.... Great quality, and a warranty I can use if needed.
Since I've started vaping 2 1/2 years ago, i figured if I want to try out new gear, as long as I didn't exceed the $200.00+ a month I was spending on smokes, I'm not any worse off than before. It's a funny thing to hear about folks who spent countless $$ over the years for empty cig packs, ashes, and butts, not being able to justify quality vape gear purchases. I always managed to come up with the $$ for cigs when I smoked... Now, since vaping, I at least have nice devices to show for the $$ spent.
Your loss.
Don't want one - don't buy one - and don't know what you're missing.
P.S. I'd take a Nexus 4 over an Iphone anyday...

Don't want one don't buy one I'm sure that's what I said and that's what I will do.
I'm sure some of you provari lovers use rbas? Are any of these the Chinese as you all keep saying american quality some of the best drippers and genesis rbas are chinese and are of excellent quality and perform much better then a more expensive equivalent. I even see people refusing to buy any Chinese stuff what's that all about ? Do people not know bucket loads of top brand TVs DVD players music players consoles washing machines dryers or any other electrics come from China? Stop just assuming China stuff is trash get off your high horse stop being stuck up AMERICA is not the only place in the world to be of quality.
Edit I have had some cheap egos not joytech cheap Chinese my wife uses them each and every day for over a year she has 2 they cost 12usd for the pair and work like the day I bought them.

It boils down to that old saying " You get what you pay for and to each their own" I have owned a Provari and sold it when I thought I was quitting vaping. It was a mistake to get rid of it.
I couldn't care if the (darn) thing was built by Hugo Chavez himself. If it vaped like a Provari, I'd buy it.
And I don't own a horse.
my Vamo died last week so I'm thinking build quality is the main issue with china mods. I've had my first provari for almost 2 years and I know if I have any issues I'm sending it in to provape for repair my vamo on the other hand is going in the trash. the vape-pro looks like a re-branded smok zmax. don't get me wrong I love my Sigelei telemax but I don't know if it will stand the test of time.

Expenisve ? Nah... Both Provari's that I own, have already paid for themselves. I haven't bought cigarettes in three years next month
But there is one big difference --- the Prothingy is better for the many reasons mentioned in this thread.
Will it be that way for another 3 years? Only time will tell.
And, all of that does not mean it's the best device for everyone....or that one should only own one brand. Like always, it depends on what one wants in their APV's. I happen to like variety and the rock solid stability of the prothingy.
There are also disposables that can't even be re-charged. For some, this is their perfect piece of equipment. Use and toss. Yes, I do know someone who ditched his other gear for disposables. And, there is a large market for prepaid cel phones. I'm sure that is "the best" for these people.

What you can't seem to understand my friend is this, I don't give a fat rat's tail what you use or don't use. The OP asked a question and some of us tried to answer it. Your PV is your PV, your delivery system is your delivery system, and your juice is your juice. Whatever works for you is right. There is no other right and wrong than that here and no one is trying to convince you otherwise. It just simply doesn't matter to us if you ever get a Provari or not, so please stop trying to act like it hurts us when you keep saying you won't.
We. Really. Don't. Care.
Look I did not say people are trying to get me to get one and also I don't think it hurts any one lmao.
I'm sick to death of seeing people ask a question and then fan boys girls come out.
I'm on xda developers all I see is one device against a different device I'm on a gaming forum I see the same I thought I would comment on here to say look the provari is not the best device in the world no matter how many people say it .
I'm not a fan boy of any device I own multiple PVS all have advantages and disadvantages but definitely for a price to performance bang for buck the provari is not the best out there. As soon as something gets said bad about the vari loads of people jump on denying it or say its a useless feature only provari people say vw is useless I can say with 100% confidence more people say vw is useful then useless people just need to admit the provari is lacking in some ways and amps is a big one and it needs a update to stay in top line.
End off story I'm out of here. My point has been made.

ProVari is a great APV--but it could use a facelift.
VW is great--really, it just makes sense.
I like this article--I agree with the author 100%. I'm sure you all will too, whether you are ready to admit it publicly or not.

I don't really agree with the article. There is always new designs or technology but that doesn't mean that an older, good design needs to be changed. I still have a 1911 even though lots of other gun designs have come, gone or stuck around. There's a place for different things.
As for VW, I have my 4th china VW device and it's the same as all the rest except the evic. It's ok but it's pulsey and the accuracy seems to be good but not great. I know DNA20's are nice but they only regulate one way, so I'm not all interested.
If Provape made a VV/VW with a similar chip to the provari, as in smooth mech esque vape, I'd probably buy it but my desire or need for a device to calculate watts is not high enough to really desire one. I have generally used my VV/VW devices as VV anyway.
For myself I find that I value the opinions of the members here. I've heard the vamo spoken well off. So I got one and love it. I'm aware that it wont last for years though. I heard members talk about how long their Provari's last and that if there's problems the company takes care of it. I will eventually be getting a Provari. There are other mode that I also want to get. I have yet to hear a Provari owner say they regret getting it. I can't say the same thing about most other mods.
Has this changed?
ProVari - "MADE" in the USA
" Several have asked if the ProVari is just “assembled” in the US or “made” in the US, so to address this questions here are some details:
The ProVape-1 and ProVari are actually MADE and ASSEMBLED in the USA.
Parts - Machined right here in Monroe, WA. We use US-made stainless steel bar stock to produce the tubes, top caps, bottom caps, contact pins, etc. Everything is done on our machines locally. No outsourcing.
Bare Circuit Boards - Manufactured in Illinois. We do not purchase the circuit boards from China due to their poor quality. While the circuit boards are more expensive to produce in the USA; this is the heart of the system and it’s important to us that they are the best quality we can get. Each PCB is electronically tested before it ever sees components.
Electronic Components on Circuit Board – these are the only parts that might come from outside of the USA. Some of these parts are simply not made in the US, so we can’t get them from a US source, even though we would prefer to.
We use components from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, China and the USA.
Component assembly - Components are soldered onto the circuit boards at a facility outside Seattle, Washington. After getting components installed, the boards are tested several more times at our Monroe facility to ensure they are ready to ship. We test each one multiple times to give you the most reliable product you can get.
We don't cut any corners when it comes to quality control, testing, and component selection.
We love to hear all the positive comments about the ProVari and PV1. Thank you for your support!"

Buy both and do your own comparison.
Don't just go by what you've heard or read.

There I fixed that for you.
If VW makes sense for your needs thats' fine, just don't assume that everyone needs and/or even wants it just because you do.
I could purchases several VW devices if I wanted one but for me that feature would go unused. WHY? Because I buy the same brand and the same resistance carto to use on my carto tanks every single time. I've taken Variable Wattage totally out of the equation because I'm looking for ease of use, convenience and consistency. I set my 3.0ohm Smokteks at 5.2 volts and never have to change that number.
I should also point out that I save a ton of money by buying them 100 at a time.
I dont need variable wattage because Ive already found what works the best with my combination of juice, tastes and Pv ......out of trying literally hundreds of different products.
Perhaps you aren't quite there yet? Then again maybe you've decided that the thing you like most about vaping is lots of variety but the difference here is I'm not the one saying you should be forced to choose VV because I think its better.
ITS NOT.....its better for me ....just like VW works better for you. Id prefer to have the leisure to make my own mind up about that instead of someone else making the decision for me....especially when their experience, equipment and juice can be drastically different than my own.
