So, I've been smoke free for three weeks now!! Yay me!! I've been happily vaping on my ego twist, but I feel like its time for the next move. I had my heart set on a Provari, still do. But was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative with good reviews that's comparable to a Provari. I just ordered the Kanger protank 2, so I'm looking for something that it will look good on. According to my math, the provari setup with batteries and charger will be around $200-220 at least. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

You can pick up a Innokin iTaste VV-VW 3.0 for under $40 from iVapes. The iTaste will have all the features of a larger, more powerful VV-VW, but in a smaller form, 800mAh self-contained unit. It will allow you to experience the VV-VW design, without the larger initial expense. If it works for you... then step up to the Provari with full confidence.
A Provari is a premium device. That is to say, that it is a high dollar device. With a Provari you are paying for build quality, consistent voltage regulation, and customer service. There are a ton of devices with good voltage regulation, decent built quality, but zero customer service for about 1/3 the price.
I personally have a Provari, itaste MVP, itaste SVD, and a Vamo.
I rank them like this...
1) Provari
2) MVP
3) SVD (only because I think it looks cooler)
4) Vamo
If you're looking for huge battery life then I really think you should look into the MVP. If you're looking for more power then the Vamo and the SVD are both good choices.
There are many others out there that I've read about on this forum that people seem to like.
Some others to check out...
Evic
Smoktech SID
Sigelie Zmax
itaste VV
Tesla
Hop on youtube and watch some video reviews.

Welcome and congrats... I used my egos for about 2 months, then moved on to a SS Vamo. I love it...
I'm struggling between the Vamo and the SVD. I'm not interested in the MVP. I know it has lots of fans, but the form factor and better power control of the SVD and Vamo draw me in that direction.
I'm not interested in a high end mod because I'm still in "cost effectiveness" mode, even though I could buy anything I really, really wanted.
But those two devices have me going back and forth. Back and forth. Back and to the... left?

I've got an SVD and I'm pretty happy with it. Considering the performance and price compared to some of the other ones out there I think its a pretty good deal.
Provari and Itaste MVP = VAPE ON 
I'm loving my Zmax v3, solid as a rock and hits plenty hard. Though it stays in the house or car, not something I lug around work, lol. It's a bit heavy ;-)

I don't have one yet but I'm +1 for the MVP. Been hearing great things. There's a good deal on fasttech for one. Check it out, it's budget friendly, easy to use, great battery life. All in all you can get months worth of recharges before worrying about getting a replacement. I plan on getting a couple really soon.
Better still... hold out for the MVP 2.0. It should have VW and perhaps a greater peak wattage. And then there's always the (very) soon to be released VTR.
Can you help me clear up some confusion.....
When looking at standard tanks... vivinova, T2, evod, miniBCC -- They all seem to be standard with 1.6 - 2.8 coils..... According to the vape/volt chart, you wouldnt want more than 4.8/5volts for a 2.8coil (or risk burning, bad taste etc) and 3.7orBelow for the 1.#coils.
(THis is just based on what Ive read and taken in so far).
So why would I need more power (over 5volts) if going over 5volts is a bad idea?
What am I missing?
WOuld I need to buy special coils @ 3ohms and over to use over 5volts when vaping?
Thanks
Vamo V3 is my main device. If you have your heart set on a ProVari, but just aren't ready to pull the trigger because of the price point I would suggest the MVP for several reasons. It's a solid reliable vv device. When you get the ProVari why not have the different form factor in your favor by already owning the MVP instead of 2 tube mods? Owning a vv/vw device first may put you off to the ProVari a bit when you do get it. 
There is really little to choose from between most of the different devices listed here. If you have a local brick and mortar store near you, it might be a good idea to pay them a visit and see, hold and even use these devices before you make your mind up.
Watching you-tube is another good way of reviewing them, I watched upwards of 30 videos before deciding on my choices.
Reviewing the APV forums (here on ECF) and just reading a few of the posts about each device will give you a good idea of the general feeling about the quirks, issues and advantages of each.

Every now and again I run a 3ohm carto. With such high resistance I like to run it at higher voltages---usually about 5.2 or 5.3.

The down side is that you get the fanboy mentality as well. I don't know what it is, but as soon as someone spends their money on a device they feel compelled to justify it by knocking everything else. I don't know if any of you have ever been on a videogame forum, but it's a lot like that. Feverish debates about a consumer product. Kinda silly when you think about it.
Humans are funny... rationalization and rampant subjectivism. "Scientific method"? W.T.F is that?
