Hello all - I am about to pick up a Provari mini. I currently use a Subtank Mini, but it seems like many people use IBTanked tanks on the Provari. Would you recommend one over the other?

For me, the Subtank mini runs great at 15W on my eLeaf 50w. I've tried taking it up higher, which means eventually around 22w if I vape on it just a second or two too long it's burned the coil *again*. To say that it's not going to perform very well if you only use it to 15w is in my opinion, too broad of a statement. My buddy can only vape on his (same setup as mine) with something called blue granite to a maximum of 12w with the .5 Ohm coil installed and if he goes to 15w, then his coils starts tasting rank like mine does at 22w. The only difference between ours is that he's using that blue granite liquid and I'm using something called Mata Leao (salted caramel). I think the other thing to note is that I generally take between 5 and 8 second (straight to lung) hits at 15w, which is far too long to do at 22w with the juice that I use, I'd have to lower my hits to about 1.5 to 2.5 seconds to avoid getting a burnt hit with the juice I use, which to me is just not very satisfying at all.The Subtank can be fired that low, but it's not going to perform very well. Subtanks have a sweetspot of around 24 - 30 watts.
I agree with the original STM RBA deck in particular can't keep up with much over the 14W the Provari puts out. The new RBA deck on the subox version imuch better and I've caped that up to 40w without issue. So I think the P2.5 is a good match for the old tba deckFor me, the Subtank mini runs great at 15W on my eLeaf 50w.

It produces plenty of vapor at 15w too. Sure you won't win a contest at that lower wattage but it's still quite satisfying and needs one to keep a window open in the car when driving to be able to still see out the windshield.
