Hello,

Since this is in regards to the provari mini I figured this would be the best forum.

1.) I bought a 501-501 Shorty Extension/Adapter. This works great now my tanks do not give such an airy draw, but are there other adapters/extensions which fit better? The adapter does not sit flush, but I think that is so the holes can draw air in the adapter. Are there other adapters which fit better so there isn't this long extension from the adapter to the tank/atomizer? If there are better options does anyone have any links on where to buy? I have only seen the extension i bought, both regular and shorty versions.

2.) With the provari mini 18350 batteries I am getting about 4 to 5 hours of fairly heavy use, even heavier since I just got my mini this Saturday. Has anyone bought the extension cap? How does it look on the provari? I really like the chrome/stainless cap it comes with and see that they only sell the satin finishes for extensions. Also how long do the next size batteries last in terms of use? Trying to see if the look and length of time would be worth spending the extra money.

Thank you.

1. Its a 510-510 adapter, and regular and shorty are your only options. The only way to sit flush would be to not use an adapter. Some tanks sit right on the top of the provari and block all airflow. You can either slide the tank up a bit on the carto, unscrew it a touch, or cut airflow slots in the bottom cap of the tank. Airflow Stainless Bottom Cap - Vaperfexion This is what I mean by slots.

2. I also have a mini, 2x 18350s and 2x 18490s. I get good vape time from the 18350s, about a day. The 18490 from 1.5-2 days. I don't think the difference in vape time is that much. I don't like how the extended cap looks(my mini is satin black). I mean it doesn't look bad by any means, but I like the standard cap much better.

Thanks for the reply. I went back to using my tanks without the extension. The airy draw doesn't seem as bad now, which may just be my imagination haha.

I went ahead and ordered the satin black extension cap and 18490 batteries, this way on the weekends or such I will have something that lasts a little bit longer and I can try to rotate my batteries more. I figure I am using more now anyways since it is new. From the pictures I do like the standard cap best as well.
