I like my Provari, even if it isn't the "latest tech." It was an upgrade from my iTaste SVD, and the difference is night and day. Consistent output, built like a tank, and looks great.
Easiest way to put it: While it may not be the "best" (which is subjective) device for the money, it surely will last you long enough to make the investment worth it, and you won't regret buying one.

Nope. I never paid more for a Provari.
I have 3 Sigeleis: Two Zmax Telescopic V3s and a V5. One is a year old, one is 5 months old and the V5 is brand new. All are brushed stainless steel. I paid a total of $162 for them from US vendors. I could have paid less but the first Sigelei was purchased as a kit. All three work fine, all still look like new.
First generation V3 purchased in April, 2013 and second generation V3 purchased in November, 2013.
V5 Purchased this month.

Seriously, 20-22 watts?? Can't ever see vaping at that low of an output, much to meager. lmao. yeah the good chit is always tough to snag, got to have that well trained "buy now" clicker down pat. Hesitation often leads to lost vaportunities.
Get whatever fits your vape profile best. but yeah for 3 % of vapers, 15 watts is soooo last year. lmao.
I would like a Provari and eventually I will get one. I think it is a good product but at the moment it is expensive. I like the MVP 2 I have.
elprup7, if $170 is a huge issue for you, why are you even in this conversation? I guarantee, the guys and gals that buy all the RBA's and sweet mech mods, are spending huge amounts more than that ALL the time. Please get a little more experience under your belt before you start dishing out unsound advice.
There are plenty of things in this world worth paying a little extra for, tools, clothes, etc.. Provari is one of those things.
Respectfully: That's it. Period.
Yeah, I guess I need to put my big boy panties on, cause I normally am pushing the envelope at around 6 - 6.5 watts.
Oh, man do I want this one! What is it called? Do you have supplier status on ECF yet?
Well, as long as it is very durable. I tend to be rough on mods. Is pure silver strong enough for the 510 threads to endure hard drops and blue jeans pocket carry? And it MUST protect that DNA 30 and its screen from moisture since I live and play around and on water. As you say, it's all about the chip.
Do let us know once you get your shop tooled up to get that mod into full production. You'll likely need some employees to keep up with the demand it will generate. Provide a link to the Web site where we can purchase it with credit cards through a secure gateway.
Once you have all the bugs worked out, I am IN for at least one of these. I have a great idea for some custom engraving for one of them, but will have to think about any others I buy.
Let's see, Provari 2.5 with 18650 extension cap is $176.90, so you're only charging $88.45! At that price, I will even purchase the additional year of warranty, though I expect reasonable prices for quick repairs when out of warranty.
I wouldn't want to be your accountant.
Me personaly,I'm interested in buying Provari. But,I want to wait for 3.0 verson. Don't want to buy 2.5 and then see that they start to sell 3.0 after month or soDoes anybody have any kind
of info about that? Is realistic to expect new version this year ?
Ok,maybe 3.0 will be another new colors,design,so I will not gain much from it,but in the other hand,I suspect they will change more than look in the new version.
Try Googling ProVari 3.0...
HUGE price issue?
Considering the money Im saving by not smoking 2 packs a day, 170 bucks is a pittance.
One of the great ironies Ive discovered in life is that those who are cheap end up costing themselves more money in the long run than those who spend their money wisely with an eye to the future.
Sigh.
VV - put on tank. Set at 4 volts. How do I know to set it at 4v? The head is 2.0Ω. I know that because I bought it.
VW - Set at 7.5 watts. Why 7.5w when I'm vaping 8w in my VV device? Because I know that the juice I have in this tank tastes better a little cooler.
In either case, the power level is based on my experience. I will also adjust both devices throughout the day, as I like a warmer vape in the evening.

I've had my ProVari for three whole weeks now. I'm glad I went the extra $$$ and then some. To me it's everything the ProVari is touted to be. Also switched from clearomizers to carto tanks with the help of Baditude's excellent blogs and tutorials. For the first time since I started vaping I'm not looking for something better. My wallet sure hopes that remains the case for a long time.
Most definitely!! Simplicity with consistency is what you get with the Provari. The price has been worth it to me 4 times. Although I recently sold one, I quickly replaced with a new one, so I still have 3.

Yes, exactly. Once I got a Provari I wasn't interested in any other regulated mod... except another Provari. Two actually.
I'm just saying the mechanical part of the mod is probbly $20-$30. The DNA chip is around 50. Now why would something that should be under $100 cost as much as a provari? Your paying for the brand, which apparently is worth more than twice the cost of the mod itself...
STOP COMPARING PROVARI COST WITH ANALOGS. Compare mod to mod. There are many mods that are much cheaper and arguably better than the provari.
I agree. SOME things are worth the extra money. But there has to be REASON behind that extra money. NONE OF YOU have showed any mind-blowing facts or anything that could begin to offset that cost. Oh cause I'm not completely reckless and dumb with my money I'm out of the conversation? Give anybody a real REASON to buy the provari that puts it far enough ahead of other mods to justify the price. Unsound advice? Me? YOU are the one giving unsound advice. YOU have no facts to back up your precious provari
Mod to mod, the Provari has a better build quality than those cheaper mods, better fit & finish, better warranty, better chip, is made in the U.S.A., and will outlast most of the cheaper mods by years. Just off the top of my head. You haven't actually read anything anyone's been saying about the actual, factual differences between a Provari and your cheaper mods, have you? You seem to be arguing on some perception of principle, not on actual fact.
One more thing - as for the "you guys buy it for status" thing - dude, I drive a 10-year old Subaru. Why? Because it's fast and it's reliable for 130K miles now, and I don't have to go buy a new car because my old one is falling apart.
