Mini or 18650, some questions

[hildicat]

I'm considering jumping on the provari train but have some questions hopefully some of you can answer. I currently have a stash of AW IMR 18650 and 18350 batts. I'm trying to decide between the mini and full size with the battery extender. Aside form battery life, are there any differences in performance? Also, what sort of battery life can be expected with each setup?

Also, I gave up on cartos some time ago and have been strictly an atty user since. If I want to avoid dripping I'm assuming the only current option is to use a carto tank, right? Or is there another option that allows the use of attys and some sort of feed system?

I have the full size with extension cap running the 18650s. I pretty much get all day if I use it and no other. Being that I take another mod to work and use yet another mod during the day, the provari's batt gets changed every third day or so. Yes, if you get the mini.. you will sacrifice batt life for size. Since I don't have a mini I can't say how long they last but they're small and you can carry them in one of those plastic cases. I use a carto tank but if you prefer attys there are ways to feed them.. the drip on demand thingy is cheap and many use and like it. There is also the surge tank (don't know where it's sold right now) but it is rather expensive ($100) and will add length to an already long device (if you get the full size with extension) There is also the vapemate, it is also rather pricey but I've also read some good things about it.

As far as batt life, there is a feature on the provari that tells how much batt life is left.

The electronics in the mini and full size are exactly the same, the only difference between them being battery life. I'd say I'm a "moderate-light" vaper, whatever that means, and I get through most of the day with an 18350. The batteries are small enough for me to take with me if I feel like I'll need it.

I would say I am a moderate vaper, and I have the standard 18490. They always last me a full day. On a few occasions, the LED started blinking before I went to bed.

I'm a heavy vaper. I have my Provari in my hand from about 4 am til I go watch tv at night, about 7 pm. One of my 18650's will last me until about 5-6 pm.

Avid Vaper are going to be launching an atty tank soon I keep reading.

Z Atty Pro is also coming out soon and there seem to be more genesis attys by the week which is good.

I have both and apart from battery life the only difference is really lines v teardrops on the side.

If you are only carry one PV go with the ProVari. Two consider the Mini.

Get the full size V2. You won't get a whole lot of run time with the 18350 even though performance will theoretically be the same.

I'm a moderately heavy vaper (6ml a day). I get about 3-4 hours out of an 18350, 4-6 out of a 18490, and 6-8 out of an 18650. I prefer the Provari Mini personally for the added portability. I put pics in this thread: Just placed my order for a ProVari Mini

When i am working night shift in the fire dept. My day usually starts with me waking up at 1pm and staying up until 7am the fallowing day. I'm a pretty heavy vaper and my V2 with the 18650 easily lasts the entire time without the low battery indicator even flashing. I would say i vape about 6ml a day.
