Vispera Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Only thing I dont like about the provari is the 3.5 amp limit would like to see it at 5 at least
Jeffb Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I bought thye Provari when it first came out. Was that about 3 years ago? I have had 0 problems with it and I use it pretty much everyday. Its a workhorse.
Joshuab3687 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 With all the talk from the "senior" vapers about the Provari, I may have to look into getting one.
irwink Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Just a question, if something you have works, like your motorcycle works and while might be a little outdated as far as the pipes and intake go or the chrome, but it's the most reliable motorcycle on the planet and has a 5 year warranty, why would you trade it in for something that is upgraded and not necessarily as reliable? I'm not implying that the semovar isn't reliable but more why would provari fix something that's not broken? For each person who wouldn't buy it because it's a dinosaur, there are 10 that will buy it because it's a known consultant device. I never stated that someone should trade in their Provari for something else. What anyone else does is up to them. I stated that I will not buy a Provari until they upgrade it. I used to race motorcycles. Pipe and intake configurations can make a huge difference in performance. Chrome not so much. Reliability is one thing. Performance is quite another. Often times one trades one for the other. Personally I'll usually choose performance with reliability a secondary consideration. As always, everyone is free to do as they choose.

For each person who wouldn't buy it because it's a dinosaur, there are 10 that will buy it because it's a known consultant device. Realistically it's not. Some people just feel that it needs to go the way of using VV/VW and the menus should be more accessible. But in all honesty, it's a great product and doesn't need the bells and whistles to stand on it's own. to Medic, since I can't like his posts (ya'll need to fix that somehow). I liked the Provari, I just didn't like it's price tag. Even my SO only got the mini Provari. And as klutzy as I am, I didn't want to put out that kind of money on an APV and then have it go belly up because my hand decided to stop working and let go of it (it happens). But I wanted something variable wattage that I could set on one setting and leave it (I've since gotten into some juices that require adjusting the wattage anyway), but I don't want to have to think about voltage. But ALSO, a big one to me was finding a device that had both eGo and 510 threading, that I wouldn't need an adapter for. But that was just me. BTW, what is the voltage range of the Provari?

Vispera Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) 3.0 to 6.0 Edited January 29, 2014 by Vispera
Proetus Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 YepOkay, so the same range as most, then. Yep and I can get to fire. 1.1ohm coil as well, somewhere around 4.1 volts which puts me right at 3.73 amps and 15.28 watts! Great Vaping Calculator I suggest everyone bookmark it, multiple uses.

Proetus Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 **** sorry, thought I posted it! http://www.kritikalmass.net/battery-calculator/index.php
spydre Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 **** sorry, thought I posted it!http://www.kritikalmass.net/battery-calculator/index.php Bookmarked it. I'll use it in conjunction with my Ohm's Law calculator on my PC and on my phone.
vmshaw Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 My sentiments to a tee That's some high dollar vaping there. It looks so big too. Is it?
rgunn1 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I've had my Provari for less than two weeks and now the thing wants to keep throwing E1/E2 error codes. I've tried multiple tank configurations... thought I fixed it by cleaning the contact area where the tank meets the "battery." Funny... my spinners don't do that...
mikelove Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 You voltage needs to be turned down probably. When I got mine last week I put my kpt3 on it turned it up to 6 volts and got that error every time it took me turning it down to 5.6 volts to stop it
