funny you should ask my battery light just started the fast flash, I changed the battery at 6:45pm the reason I know the exact time because it was at the end of my break and here it is 2:30ish and it's time for a fresh one so I'm getting about 6 - 7 hours

I've got a Darwin and this is the best vape I've ever had with a consistent good hit every time. But I'm interested in the ProVari Mini simply for its size. Does anyone know how long that 18350 battery lasts with average vaping?

This is very good news indeed! :)

I like the idea of the mini but not the battery life, I like a battery to last all day and I dont see the mini being able to do it. Right now I use a Provari with the 18490 battery and I get a full day from it and I have no problem with it in my pocket and I move around all day at work. I would take consideration in battery life before I buy a mini if I were you because if you have to get the extension cap for it then you at the same size as the provari for about $20 more.

I started the same way, V2 and Bloog. Just switched over to ego with various stuffomizers and tanks. Today I pulled the trigger on a Provari Mini, extender cap, 3 of each battery, a Pila charger, and some SR cartos I'm dying to taste at a good voltage.

It's because of all the posts that said the Mini was lasting between 5 and 7 hours that made me think I didn't need the extension, and I wanted to keep it as small (short) as possible. I don't mind changing batteries at all and don't like the idea of having to plug in an ecig to recharge. But....some like those better. I'll come back here and let you know how long my batteries last. If they last even 4 hours of pretty continual vaping I'll be happy. Then again, I don't vape 'continually' much any more because I think that contributes to breathing problems. It's so easy to vape a lot more than we smoked and that can't be good. Darn it all anyhow. :) Everything in moderation, right?

Go with the Provari you will not be disappointed. I too spent money the inbetweens wish I would have read a little more before iI bought because it would has been the first but not the last I also have a saber touch with a vari-volt pass thru, nice but if I had to do it again I would have spent the money on a mini and still may.

Is the Mini your first VV? If so, you're going to be so happy! Come back when you get it and let us know how much you like it. :)

It is! Can't wait.

Imagine the strongest hit you've ever had. With these VV's, that's the hit you get consistently every single time. You just won't quite believe it at first. You can actually adjust it so you get just the hit you want every time. Some like it stronger and some not so much. It's up to you. When I started vaping 2.5 years ago you wouldn't believe what all of us went through just to get one good hit, then we'd keep working at it to get one more. I can't believe things have gotten this good with the VV Mods. I've had my Darwin since August and it's never given me a bad hit. I'm sure the Provari Mini will do just the same, and I'm looking forward to having the smaller Mod. I wish I could see you take your first hit. :)

To me personally, I think that carrying extra batteries is not a downside... just buy a 1$ plastic box and put them there.

I agree wholeheartedly. I never minded pitching a few into my purse when I vaped my non-VV Mods. I rather like batteries. I have tons of them. But I think someone should invent a Mod that we just wind up, no batts needed. :)

I will give one vote of trust to the Provari. I ordered a chrome one on Friday with the ext cap and 2x18650 batteries, and since then im bitting my nails all day waiting for it to ship! Just one question though, i ordered the standard charger, forgot to go for the pila. Is this bad? How many hrs will my batteries need to be fully charged?

I have to say that i too wasted money left and right because i was a complete newbie on the subject. I could have bought the provari easily if i knew from the begining.
