    Default Mini Owners...would you buy a 18650 extension for the Mini if they became available?

    I'm curious as to if Provape offered a 18650 extension for the mini if other people would be interested in it, as I certainly am. The flexibility it would add would be plenty worth the additional $30, at least to me. Does anyone else have an interest in this?

    Why not the standard price? Why increase the price to 30$?

    Don't have a mini, but it's an interesting idea. I have a few mods that have the ability to accept smaller batteries, but it's a feature I never use. In general, I tend to go for longer battery life than inconspicuous size. I have other mods that are far easier to conceal than a Provari mini or a Megalodon in mini mode. Heck, I've never even used the 18500 cap on my Provari full size mods.

    That said, if Provape comes out with a mini 18650 extention, I'd buy that and a mini to go along with it.

    I said no...
    The mini is fine, and with the 18500 extension I think its just right. It definitely doesn't need any more weight.
    Around the house = 18500, In the car = 18350... =awesome.

    I think it's a brilliant idea. It combines the benefits of both models into a single base unit. Want something small and pocket friendly and not going to be out all day, normal end cap. Going to be out all day and don't want to carry extra batteries, 18650 end cap. I would definitely pick one up if they made one.

    I guess when I read this my first reaction was, "Why not just buy a standard?"

    Absolutely! Think about it - you would have one incredible mod that could use three battery sizes - tailor it to your needs for the day!

    I chose $30 to play on the safe side in case it required additional metalworking giving the larger size. To be honest, I know very little about metalworking so I chose to err on the side of caution

    Fair enough. I would purchase the extension to use 18650 batteries, but I would like to pay 19.95 like my standard Provari's though.

    If they include an 18650 extension cap for the mini they could just take the V2 off the market.
    They wouldn't want to just ditch the whole model.
    While it is a good idea, it renders the v2 useless.
    But in my eyes since they're the exact same price the mini is already useless because of the shorter battery life.

    Just my two cents.
