Ksnowman Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 How as the Provari been working out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaseman66 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I've been using mine pretty much non-stop for the past 3 months without ANY reliability issues whatsoever. I am pretty tough on my pvs but this baby is built like an old Buick. This Pv has been dropped several times without so much as a scratch on it. I use the larger battery and extension cap, and even with heavy vaping, I get almost 24 hours out of a single charge. Very happy with the performance, and in circumstances when I need more power, I simply dial it up and go hotter. The only drawback (and it's not a deal breaker for me) is the weight. It's a bit on the heavy side, but on the flip side, the weight reminds me that I still have it in my pocket and haven't left it someplace. In short, in my case, it has done what I've asked it to, when I needed it the most, and that's a great thing. Now, I just need to find a belt holster that will fit it so it can quit beating up the contents of my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbtheone Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 how can you go wrong with a lightsaber as a PV... i want one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Phaseman66, I would think there would be some kind of holder that would loop on your belt that would be sold at a Home Depot/Lowes to hold a single tool. Or at a Sports store that would hold a knife or fishing tool. You might even consider getting a good piece of leather and making a holder held together with a whip stitch using leather string. You would only need to buy the leather, leather string, and a hold punch. I had the opportunity to hold a Provari at the last PA Vaper Meet-up. I agree it is pretty heavy. I had the Provari in one hand and the Bombshell Mod in the other. I was surprised that the Provari was slightly heavier. I wonder why that is?

KaYoTiiC Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I love mine and haven't stopped using it since i got it.. Keep in mind that this was my first mod so i don't know anything else.. But i will never order another mod after buying this beauty. The thing is built like a tank and really isn't that much of a hassle to carry around. Ya can't go wrong, it's a sure thing if you don't mind the size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I own quite a few mods and this is my favorite. It is quite heavy and I still haven't got over that but it hasn't stopped me. I use it 80% of the time, I only leave it at home if I am walking around or don't have alot of pockets. Other than that, it is the best mod I have have used. Great battery life which is key for me.

You can use any 510 carto or atty. However, if you want to use an eGo-T atty, you'll need some adapters. You can use a 510-801 adapter connected to a 801-510 adapters. That works well. There are also a few places selling an 510-eGo adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASEACE79 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I had a few hiccups with the provari. I'm on my 3rd. Kept getting E8 errors with the other two. The one I have now has been going strong for about 2 months now. It is built like a tank. Solid built mod. I get about 15 hrs vaping at 4.8-5V all day. I also have the extender cap and use the 18650's. The thing I love about it is how consistent it is. Full batt or almost dead it provides the same hit every time. Overall I love this mod!

Ksnowman Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks for the opinions. I ordered and received mine. It got here in about a week. Batteries are charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 You will love it knowsman. I can attest to the build quality of this PV. It is built like a tank. I dropped it last night on a tile floor. It landed square on the atty and the atty broke off. There was absolutely no damage to the atty connector on the unit. I unscrewed the broken atty, popped a new one on and it's vaping like a champ.

Morfeeus Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I just ordered mine today. I got the Black SE with charger, extended batt cap, and 3x 18650 batts. I cannot wait till it gets here!! Kingbtheone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AARONH Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hmmm...I will also attest to the build quality, as I have dropped mine too and broke the atty off and there was no damage to the atty connection on the PV. I am however having E2 error codes all the time...I have used standard 510 2.1-2.3 ohm attys and cannot vape over 3.9 volts without getting this error code....contacted Dave at ProVape, and he suggested I use higer ohm attys. I haven't tried one yet, as I have about 25 fresh standard 510's to go through yet....I did get some 1.5 LR attys from VaporKings that do well, taste well at 3.3-3.5 volts, but hell, I can do that on my Ego!...one of these days I guess I will try a higher ohm atty and see what happens.

Kingbtheone Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 i read that you can use LR attys but only to mid 4ish range before the error code. makes sense though, ever use a LR atty on a 5v passthrough? its so harsh, your vaping over 10w. provari offers a 5 pach of 3ohm cartos for $8.25. SOOOOOOOO TEMPTING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 For those of you with the errors makes sure your not using LR atomizers. You should use regular atomizers on a high voltage device. I've been using mine since February with no problems. It is still my go to device. I use my eGo when attending business meetings or large gatherings, I use my Provari everywhere else.

AARONH Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) How high of voltage can you vape with a reg 510 2.1-2.3 before you get an E2 code? I can't hardly get over 4.0v! Edited May 21, 2011 by AARONH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaYoTiiC Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've been getting every error code there is... I've been using LR atty's. Now i know better and have some regular one on the way, but when i had the regular one on that came with it i was still getting the error codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safety switch is engaging. It's actually quite dangerous to use low resistance atomizers on a high volt device. You risk the batteries draining to quickly and exploding.
