since 3 months ago.. i never heard of vape until my younger brother purchased one and let me try it..

i did my search online.. came across a provari as it was recommended by some of the people i spoke to about e-cigs.

my first unit was a provari.. after that i tested out several other units.. and sadly.. i would still stick with the provari.

For what it is INTENEDED to do..(not a VW) it does it exceptionally well. I dont think you can ever "Break" a provari just by using it.. even when using it wrong you cant break it. Its a rock solid piece of work. top of that.. i dont know any units out there that is cerakoted like the provari.. 80% of the units out there are bare metal.. nor just painted..

the best feature that i like about the provari is that your first puff and your last puff is always going to be the same

Interesting interview with the people who made the Provari:

The ProVape Team Interview | Spinfuel Magazine


"Why did you decide to manufacture here instead of China where most ecig products are made?"

There are two reasons. The first was that we wanted to make sure we had full control over the quality and production of the device. Chinese manufacturers are known for inconsistent quality. They often cut corners to save costs and send the customer defective goods.

The second reason was that we were tired of seeing manufacturing jobs sent overseas. We were in a position to do something about it, so we did. Lead by example. So, by producing everything here in the USA not only are we supporting US companies and American workers but we are also able to closely monitor production. This allows us to maintain a standard of building the best products available."

Like some people keep going on and on about the weight... the Provari is not the only weighted device out there! That's like saying Logitech's mice are better than any other just because they have weights in them... when there's tons of mice out there that also have weights in them.

I'm half Chinese, was raised by a Chinese mother and worked for a Chinese company for the last 6 years, and I can honestly tell you that this is true about 99% of the time. Most Chinese companies are only concerned about how fast and how cheap they can make a product, not about quality. These days it's very hard to find products that are not copied and cheaply made in China, and I try not to buy them if possible. I didn't buy a Provari just because it was made in the USA, (that's just a bonus) I bought it because it's a quality, well made PV with a smooth voltage delivery like a mech, but with all the safety features a mech lacks.

I used to use VW on my eVic and Vamo. Now I use VV on a Provari or a mech. Seriously, VW is overrated and anyone with a half a brain can live without it.

Half a brain Well that's a stupid thing to say we can all live without lots of things that make things more user friendly or save us time or enhance a product but do we want to go without if available? I for one don't. We dont need vw but for the mass of users vw is a excellent feature there's no point in putting down a perfectly useful feature just because the god of all PVS does not have it lmao come on use that brain of yours.

Edit: I see lots of people among the various vaping sites I use asking for apvs and lots of them say vw is a must and they will not buy a device without so its obvious a good feature for lots of us.

At the end of the day if you don't like vw don't use it but don't say its useless or any one with half a brain can live without because its defiantly not useless and its obvious we can live without just the people who like it choose to use it.

End off story I'm out of here. My point has been made.

And yet here you are. ;)

Ugh, show me where I said it was useless. I said it was overrated. I'm not putting it down, I'm saying that it's not necessary. Yes, it's a nice feature, but I can easily live without it. You people make it seem like if a PV doesn't have VW it's "outdated" or an "antique". We all know you're never going to buy a Provari and you're never even going to try one because somehow you know it's not as good as a VW device. Since you're never going to try one your arguement is invalid. Move along.

No PV is perfect, but right now the Provari is the best for me.

I wasn't just talking about you only. there is references or wording saying its useless in this thread.

Vw is only being brought up as people saying its not needed etc of course its not its just nice.

I'm definitely not saying the provari is rubbish as loads of you swear by it any way there's no point going on and on as I have been doing as other people have said every one needs or wants different features from there PVS so each to there own.

No offence intended to any people just my opinion.

Have to agree with that one --- When's the last time you didn't use the remote for your TV and figured out how to change channels on the equipment?

You have to change the "channel" on your vw too though. It's not like I go, ok I want 10 watts and leave it there. I have an SVD, if I put a terminator with a 1.5ohm coil on it, I like it at 8-9 watts depending on the juice, a Iclear30 at 2.0ohms (dual coil) and I like it at 10-11 watts depending on the juice. So I'm not sure what vw just did for me except change the numbers I am changing.

I guess the Provari is the Harley Davidson of Mods?

Lol...that would be the zmax PCB...it's loud, not particularly efficient and they find a new way to sell the same thing to people every 3 months.

Looks it's a Smok Zmax, now a sigelei zmax, now it has rms, now it's a vamo, now it's an anyvape, now it's an svd, now it's a sigelei zmax with ego threads, now it's an SS smok zmax, now it's a mini, now it's a groove, now it's a telescoping one, now it's an anyvape v2, now it's a vape pro, now it's a sid

I can't imagine being happier with a mod than I am with my Vamo. I haven't tried a provari because I don't know anyone that has one but I'm thinking they both have buttons that you push and then vapor comes out of a hole at the top. The fact that I could drive mine over with a car.. destroy it.. and not care is a selling point for me. I'll just pick another one of up for 27$ I guess.

That said I like nice toys and will prob buy a provari when both my vamo's die. Hopefully that won't be soon.

You buy 8 Vamos for the price of one Vari.

Ive never had or tried a Vari,im quite happy with my SS Vamo,but i would love to blast one with an AGA t2 tank.

I use the ProVari with a AGA T2 and it is sweeeeet. I'll have to stay out of this discussion since I've never tried any device other than ProVari V2. I will say that I'm very satisfied with the way it's worked for me. But if you 've had success staying off tobacco using another device I would say great stay with it. By the way I can get ProVari V2 from ProVape all day for $140.00. That's cheaper than those used ones in the classified.:blink:

Honestly, I think VW is best for newbies and those who just don't want to bother with worrying about burning out their clearos/carts. I don't really think anyone is trying to say it's BETTER per se than VV... just that it's EASIER. I would have saved a lot of money on clearos/carts in the beginning if I had gotten a VW device instead of VV, just because the VW feature keeps you from damaging them, unlike VV. But at the same time, VV opened the door to helping me gain a better understanding of how everything worked... so I guess it really comes down to how technical the user wants to get with their devices, and how often they want to do it.
