You will be mate,im positive about that.It simply makes anything you throw at it perform and it is a very accurate multimeter to

You will Spikey, believe me.

David also seems like a really nice chap, which helps with the confidence as well.

I've been really impressed with how they've handled my emails

"Far superior" That has been said many times with computers etc and yes they amaze with each development .Batteries are sure to become far more powerful and smaller - Atties are likely to become vastly more long lasting and switches must become far more superior to the poor example on the SD .

I don't think there's any new battery tech on the horizon. If there was, car manufacturers would have found it by now for use in hybrid vehicles.
Batteries are limited by fundamental chemistry. If you make them smaller, they hold less charge.

Atties aren't part of the basic "mod". If a new wonder attie is developed, it can still be fitted to a Provari, SD, whatever.

The Provari uses an "electronic switch", not a mechanical one like the SD. Totally different devices, and both have their place. If you are willing to pay more, you can get a better switch than the SD, but the SD is an excellent product for the price.
Mechanical switches have been around a long time, and I can't see much room for future innovation. Different matter for electronic switches, maybe more use of touch switches?

Find someone who has a Provari, and try it.

Provari is undoubtedly a good mod - may wait for MK 4/5 and check the market for other arrivals .Not sure i could cope with the hundreds of button presses to adjust and read and that kind of button usage must create wear and failure.

Okey dokey, my Provari has turned up at last.

Customs / Royal Mail really managed to rip the packaging to shreds, not bother repacking it back into any bubble wrap, just slung the bits back into the cardboard box, AND charged me £8 for the privilege!

Bloody cheek. Looks like it's been got at by a band of robber monkeys.

It sorta takes the shine off getting it a little bit...that 'new box' feeling isn't there, almost feels second hand in a way :-(

The little window looked like it had banged against something in the box, and had 'sunk' a little on one side, but tightening the little screw a bit brought it back up again (luckily or else i would be suing RM/PF).

Happy to have it, but grumpy at the really shoddy handing it's had...poor provari.

I'm charging the batts as i type, i'll update on performance later.

Did i mention that i have the hump with Royal Mail?

Hopefully if you're waiting for one, yours will be dealth with by someone without bananas for fingers, and in possession of a little respect for other peoples property.

The stated value was as i thought..$39.99, that's why it had the extra delay and charges, and gang of monkeys ripping into it.

F-ing skum mate >:(Sorry to hear what they have done to your parcel mate,poor Provari indeed.Im glad you got it though and managed to sort the window out on it.You will be in vaping heaven when those batteries are charged for sure.If it was me i would still put a complaint in regarding the poor state it came in.

That's my biggest gripe with UK Customs. Not the fact that they open the packages, or even that they delay them up to 10 days.

It's the lack of respect for the goods inside them.

[ian]

No need for it at all,if they are going to open packages the least they should do is secure them up again to avoid loss and damage.

[Perpetua]

O no Spikey . . . can only echo Ian & Jason.

My box had also been opened and the Provari/batteries/end cap were just slung back inside with no protective packaging whatsoever in it. >

Really hope that you're up and running now and loving your purchase.

[spikeychops]

Thanks all for sympathies, but i'm happy now! ;-)

These are the business aren't they!

You lot weren't exaggerating, they are great...just playing with it between eating (to cheer myself up, i'm tucking into a nice, hot Chinese...if only i could understand what she was on about! ;-))

I've already discovered my Arry clearo tank with a 2.6 Ohm clearo is just about perfect on my Provari @ 4.0 volts, massive vapour, nice throat hit and flavour (been waiting to say that for 3 weeks!) much better than anything else i've tried so far.

I can see me wearing the button out playing with this tonight!

Thanks for all your help and encouragement folks, you're all a good bunch.

Andy.

[Perpetua]

Yay Spikey!

And lolololo!!!!!

Fab isn't . . . and to think, I thought our Ian was exaggerating!

Me bad.


Have fun!!

[ian]

Me?Exaggerate?I dont know what your talking about Perpy,honest :-*Im glad its working well for you Spikey,another satisfied Provari owner.

[spikeychops]

Absolutely satisfied Ian.

I can't get over the sheer amount of vapour these things get from my clearo tank..yesterday i would have said, how much difference can a 'battery tube and switch' make, the vapour is down to the juice mix and the clearo...and i would have been stone cold wrong!

Same juice, same (used and old) clearo in an Arry tank but at least twice as much vapour!

I can't get over it.

Flavour is better too, even with my taste buds going screwy (caught my son's cold) i can get a fuller flavour, and the throat hit has improved too.

I'm a happy chappy all right.

Anyone else waiting for one to be delivered, you won't regret it - this has got to be the best PV out there at the mo.

Cheers all.
