After holding a Lavatube and a Provari; there is no comparison. Lavatube feels like something you'd get in a dollar store. That's not a joke. The Provari feels like a piece of tech that was made for performance. Obviously machined well and assembled by people who actually care about the quality of their product. I have bought three mods and my Provari makes the other two seem like toys. Don't buy garbage; no matter how cheap it is.
I have both and find myself reaching for the lava tube much more than the Provari-in fact I dont think I have even used the Provari once this week. Thank god for my garbage for I love it.
@Roach838 Maybe it's your hearing? I'm on a mac and have my volume set at 4/10 and i can hear it just fine.I have crappy speakers,too. Kinda harsh words, for (IMO) a well put together review.
I have wanted one since they came out and to scared to get a piece of junk e cig. I don't have the money to keep smoking and I am going to the e cigs to go cheaper financially in the long run. If I spend the money I want a great quality e cig. which would you go for first time users and quality.
@steeljan Lithium Ion Manganese do not need the same protection as the other Lithium Ion batteries because their chemistry is such that they will not explode or vent with flame. They release with gas. Vent holes, and you are much safer than when holding your standard lithium ion cell phone to your head.
@BoxsterGuy85 The LavaTube has issues with throttling voltage without warning. See GrimmGreen's followup review. It can show 6V and be vaping at 3.5V.
The true lavatube does all the same exact things as the darwin and provari but a fraction of the the cost. I got mine from volcano. bc ones that dont come from volcano arent built as well. lavatube isnt as heavy as the provari but who cares. The lavatube from volcano is only 69 bucks. I love mine.
I bought a Provari, and liked it so much that I ordered a second one as a backup, I've had no problem with either one. My sister bought one, too. We've had these three Provaris for about six months now. Zero complaints.
I find the provari is no good at vaping low resistance because of the e2 error cut off. for me I cant vape low resistance at 3.7v (it should be fine) but the only time I would want to use the low resistance is when I'm out of the the high. other than that I love it.
@krssnoop True, that safety feature does limit its usability for some people. For others it is an advantage. It all depends on how you vape. Which is why I try to outline the pros and cons for people to make their own decisions. The error doesn't impede me too much, as I tend to now try to run LR items at higher than 4.0 or 4.1, which is around fresh battery voltage.
ive dropped my provari on the conrete several times and still functions. been my main pv sine i got it, like 11 mnths ago. still using the same 18650s that it came with.
@Geekgirlvapor I'm fixing to order one tomorrow and I can't wait to get it. But what kind of tank-omizer is that you got there and where can I order one like that? Thanks!
I love my black textured provari - unfortunately the window on mine got pushed in and even though I'm not the original owner they're going to be replacing it with the new stronger window for free! Not to be a wize but the batts are not protected, they are imr. Just also purchased a darwin from a fellow ecf'er so hopefully it comes soon while my provari's on vacay ;)
Where can i get one of those tanks you had on the Provari? i must have one! :) Thanks for an awesome vid.. Ive been waiting for someone to do a comparisont of these!

This is the Mat Black...is that the same as the new Satin Black they came out with! It appears the chrome black just did not wear well!

@sweatonme1 It might be worthwhile checking out madvapes or google, "VMU ecig mod"
and look on a couple of websites for it, it's a variable voltage box mod, very reliable :)
If you would like any more suggestions, let me know :)

But IMR batteries themselves have no protection, they are very high instantaneous amperage batteries without any protection.

@GeekGirlVaper I just gave it another shot with a clean atty and battery now I can vape the LR at 4+ volts
so i am happy with that. for some reason last time i couldnt vape higher than 3.4v on the LR.
strange..

Great video....Yes I am a fan of my Provari and the combination with the Stainless Steel Liquinator Tank is awesome as well.
I think I would prefer the older Black Matte more than my Shiny Black Chrome...but I guess thats what you get for being a later adopter :)
