Would you go the extra $ and get a ProVari ???

Just because he uses it, it is better?
i sure celebrities drive old outdated cars when there is better ones today, are they better because someone well known uses them
idc about personal anecdotes and stories because they will ALWAYS be biased. ALWAYS.
the provari puts the excess cost in unnecessary accuracy and marketing.
the blog i will read and get back to you:)
and actually my mind is never made up. if i see something in your blog that sways me, then congrats to you. nothing i have seen to this point makes the provari worth what it cost IMO

Yes. I bought a provari the first week I started vaping a month ago--thinking that's just the money I saved a month by not smoking. It's solid, awesome to me. And the fact that I can send it in for repair and the customer service seems worth it to me. It's just my personal experience and need though. I would think different people have different preference.

If you are a high wattage regulated vaper, then yes, a dna 30 mod is better because you can vape at 30 watts, but this fails your "half the price of a Provari" argument.

?no i said the VTR and lavatube are comparable/slightly better at half the cost. the DNA mods are HANDS DOWN better but more expensive, however their expense is WORTH it to me.

firstly i said the hana modz are flat out better, not cheaper. the VTR wheel problem has been fixed since the end of last year, it is now a fixed wheel, not spinning as it used to be, and there are "color" options for the VTR that are matte so no fingerprint magnet :) and it is better because it is VV and VW and has a wider range. Also my battery last longer on my VTR than in my friends provari at the same setting

Hana Modz are only better if you are a high wattage vaper. The VTR and Provar have the same range as far as VV and VW are concerned so try again. As far as the amp limitation goes, with your low ohm coil builds, you will never approach the Provari's 3.5 amp limit.

Really? How do you figure? They both have the same power limitation. The Provari is five times more accurate in voltage output and has a flat DC like signal because of its 800 Hz PWM vs the VTR PWM of 60 Hz. Its great that you like to tinker, but almost all people I know, when they buy something, they expect it to work as advertised with no tinkering involved.

the VTR does work as advertised without tinkering. i agree it is more accurate and has higher Hz signal BUT these are not important enough TO ME to double the cost.

more versatile is better to me regardless. i have less restrictions on a DNA20 or 30 mod.

the shape of the mod is just looks, with regulated mods its literally all about the build quality and the chip quality. If its better, but in box shape idc. and those other box mods(besides the REO, which is the best box mod for the money IMO) are over-priced as well IMO and why would i get a regulated mod for sub-ohms? thats kinda stupid, its do-able but why? mech mods are cheaper and usually work better on subohm coils.
Depends on which mech mods you are buying, if you are buying clones then ok, its cheaper. To answer your question, I like to vape regulated, my power remains constant as the battery voltage drops off, you can't achieve that with a mech mod.

I've spent the last little while reading through here, and see more than enough cause to lock this down. This is not the kind of thread I'd like New Members to see when they join ECF.

There have been enough facts provided by a number of veterans here, and they have been argued and dismissed, forcing yet another pointless back and forth that will end up going nowhere.

There have also been posts attacking the poster, and not the post itself. This is an actionable item on here, and will not continue.

This is your last warning.


p.s - The warning is for all, not addressed to slappy3139.

Okay, I've seen the oscillascope readings on the vamo and the ProVari. Here's the question though, will the end user actually notice the fractional second drops in voltage? For the end user to actually notice, that coil has to drop in heat a significant amount. The coil is a physical device which has to change in heat based on the power it's given and cool down during that interval. Does it have time during that interval to change heat and how fast will it drop heat?

You can certainly argue that it's not good for the coil for that to occur, since rapid temperature changes stress metal. However, in terms of the vape, I'm not sure it even matters. You can say it does, but it's the coil(s) that produce the vape. Fractional second changes in voltage probably aren't going to matter in terms of the physics.

in general yes, but i do think there are a few, namely the vtr and lavatube, which are at least as good IMO and are cheaper. when first released, yes the provari was miles ahead of any other regulated mod, but they have not gotten any better since, while other companies have stepped up to compete with the provari and built better mods

Here we go again with the generalities. What companies are building better devices at half the price? When I say better, I mean prove it with numbers. There are a multitude of videos on youtube that prove the Provari is more accurate in voltage output than the Chinese devices. Stop stating your opinions as facts.
