Any Variable Voltage PV's that accept 18490 or 18500 sized batteries?

[John Meek]

The issue I have is that I got a VAMO, which works great, but with an 18350 battery the life is too short for me, and with an 18650 the thing is just enormous. That's fine when I am at home but I would love to find a VV PV that would accept the in between sized 18500 sized batteries. I kind of like the iTaste MVP which may fit my needs, but wish the battery was not built in. I feel like for 65$ you should be able to easily replace it. It seems the VV devices tend to accept either a 18350 or 18650 but nothing in between. I also noticed the new telescoping iTaste SVD however the head looks huge and some people said it's even bigger than the VAMO.

I know the Provari can accept a 18500 with a different cap, but was hoping for something more in the 45-70$ range. I also bought a GG clone, which is fine but I find I like having the screen and being able to adjust voltage so easy on the fly.

Can anyone give me some great advice on a vv mod that would suite my needs?

Thank you.

There are several you can choose from. I use a Provari Mini with an 18350, or a 18490 with the extension cap.

with 18490

Yeah wish they made a similar tube for the VAMO seems like it wouldn't be too difficult . Maybe that will be in the works.

Pull the trigger on a provari. I wanted to go cheaper and bought a ligature first was broken after2 weeks, at 80 each it was either buy another one with a good chance it will just break again or save another couple weeks and get a provari knowing that if anything happened to it then I could send it in and have it replaced for sure no matter what happened... so I went ahead and bought a provari and it has spelled like a charm everyday all day since I purchased it. Just my opinion though....

Itaste svd but as you said it's big. In 18490 mode it's about the same size as a vamo in 18650 mode.
The standard provari and the provari mini with extension cap.

Then there's any telescopic mechanical mod in conjunction with a kick.

You can look into this APV called the A606 or Versa depending on the merchant.
It does take the 18500 batt.

Unfortunately where I bought it, the tube only is sold out at Dark City Vapor at the moment.

Just so you can see the size of it.
The A606 is on the left, Vamo in 18350 mode is center and a L-Rider V1 is on the right.

I'll continue the ProVari suggestion. The things are rock solid reliable. They do have a higher initial cost, but its the last one you'll need for many years.

ZMaz V3 Telescope... I love mine and if you do not mind compressing the spring a bit, you can fit an 18500 and screw it all the way down! same size as it is with an 18350..

I don't think I'll ever use an 18350 in it again...
