Batteries and a charger help please

[tiffany7278]

Now that I have my new (to me) Provari on the way I need to order some batteries and a charger.
Can someone point me to the best deal please. I do have Amazon Prime if that helps?

Thanks so much!

I'd have to agree with CPT.SPALDING on this one. RTD vapors is an authorized reseller of AW batteries, and their prices are reasonable. It's too easy to get sent fake batteries from Amazon.
Genuine AW Batteries at RTD Vapor The first four batteries that pop up in this link will be the ones that work in all sizes of ProVari. 18350 for the mini, 18490 for the mini in extended mode or for the full size in normal mode, and 18650 for the full size in extended mode.
Battery Chargers The first three chargers on this page are the best to use with the AW IMR batteries. I have the third one (Xtar XP4), but I would recommend the other two first. They are much higher quality.

To add to what PLAN said: You just bought a Provari. This isn't the time to be cheaping out on the batteries or a charger. You cannot find real AW batteries on the likes of eBay or Amazon, they can only be purchased through authorized resellers like RTD Vapor.

If you need to low ball the charger, I wouldn't go any lower than spending the whopper twenty bucks on an Xtar WPII 2 at RTD Vapor. You will still get a very good charger that works correctly at that price.

Haha sorry, I ordered 1 battery since my provari will be coming with one as well and I got the $20 charger suggested above for now since I've over spent my vape budget already :/

I think we want to hear which Provari you decided on. The important stuff like color and led color, etc.

I just put in my order for some 18490s and a couple 18650s at RTDVapor. They shipped quickly. I am going through the 18350s very fast since I vape a lot. I am using 3 18350s a day so consider how much you vape when you order. I personally like the 18490s better on my mini with the extension cap; I like the longer battery life too.

I got the full size black with green led can't wait for it to get here.

What? A Provari does not come with a battery, you will need to order a second one if you want a pair...

She bought it from the classifieds...I think the seller included a battery

Wow, what timing for such a thread! I was very close to pulling the trigger on batteries from Amazon!
Considering an extension cap for my Mini Zombie.
Thanks for the info on RTD!!

The problem with Amazon is that AW IMR batteries from the various vendors may or may not be fake. The vendor themselves may have been fooled into thinking they were buying genuine AW batteries. That is why vapers should only buy from reputable authorized AW resellers.

Off the top of my head, the only three I can think of are RTD, SuperT Manufacturing, and ProVape. There are a few more though.
