On his mechanical mod he is getting the 13.5 watts that he seems to like from his 1.0 ohm coil at 3.7v. Well that is also 3.7 Amps, which the Provari can't do.
The amperage required is the reason that so many Gennie users like mechanical mods and high drain bats.
It's not that a gennie won't work on a Provari, it's just that you have to run them to close to their upper limit.
Well they can true. But on the edge. I rather get a hot hit then a e I'm not knocking it. Its a good product. Even for a newbie. But they do need to get ride of the press fit cap.
I guess since I've been using the did since June. Vv is not needed and another thing to break. I'm hard on my stuff.
If the person I was recommending an ecig to was a person I know wouldn't have the ability to rebuild. I think a provari would be it. As your carts get old you can turn up the voltage and get some more time on them.
I was with a friend the other day with a provari. I said its been a while let me put the did on it. I needed to keep the voltage to 3,7. To keep it from e.
Glad it working out for you. As long as we are not smoking the stinky.

If you think your going to be vaping a long time sure. Better to buy on good tool/APV than to keep buying cheaper over and over. It comes with a 1 year warranty and you can buy an extended warranty giving you 2 years of warranty. If you can afford it and your going to be vaping for very long sure.
Just this past Thanksgiving, I was in my hometown visiting family. Two of my family members are heavy smokers who have admired that I quit smoking using electronic cigarettes; going on eight months now. They asked that I show them how mine worked.
I spent over two hours explaining how they work. I went over the different size batteries available, from the cigarette size, to eGo size, to the big battery mods. I went over the pro's and con's of everything available. I explained about starting-out costs, how getting the gear (mostly the batteries or battery holders to be used) would be costly at first, but thereafter most of the necessary products would be replacements (juice and juice delivery devices). I also had them "favorite" websites for future use, most notably ECF and a few of my favorite online vendors.
When we were about finished, I asked what appealed to them. They said they wanted something like what I have. Well, I had showed them an Altsmoke BB, Silver Bullet, and a Provari. I told them how much each one cost, and they were fine with that. And just this week I see that one of them just received their Provari.
Now, they obviously felt that they would be comfortable starting out with the large form factor of the big battery mods, and they obviously were comfortable with the startup costs involved with getting an APV right out of the box, of which happened to be a Provari.

I let them try each of my three mods, and let them try several different flavors from my multiple cartotanks.

Most beginners are looking for an easy transition from analogs, which are tiny/lightweight. Id rather recommend a cigalike that has some decent power and be sure to steer them clear of cheapies and overpriced garbage. V4L or V2 kr808s are a nice step for a beginner imo. I have no interest in any PV devices personally, if someone handed me a Provari and was like try this instead of cigs id laugh at them.
I hear what your saying Tony, I use a ton of different Mods & Gear myself, just a reg old AW IMR can handle plenty and with a Gene work super at .8-1.0 ohms I run a few myself
I do like the provari. But is not for me. I ride a Honda. All I hear is when are you getting a Harley. Same with the provari. Glad people like them they are good but my mech is simple. And I can do what ever my battery can do. It has a god following for a good reason.
