Buy the extended cap or not?

[Zack nash]

I bought a mini and 3 batteries at the same time from ProVape. I have not bought the extension yet as I have no ideal how long each battery will last. Only measurement I can give is that I am using up two ego 1100's batteries a day right now.

Do you think I should go ahead and order the extension and batteries for it or just wait and see what I will need after the Provari gets here?1

I'd wait unless you feel you need to have a longer in between charge times. You should get around 7 hours from a 18350 battery. The 18650 will last maybe 20 hours between charges.

My 18350 last me about 4hrs till the blinking light the I pop it out and back in again and can get at least another hour before it blinks again. When I check the volts on the battery the second time it's usually 3.3 volts

If you do get the extension cap for the 18500 it should last you all day. I'm debating on getting one but I have so many 18350 batts in my cupboard it's kind of stupid for me to go ahead with the purchase

I couldn't imagine going back to what would be equivalent to an eGo's short vaping time. Even with the 18490's I change them out a few times a day. I change my 18650's out twice a day. I am a vape fiend. If you can deal with the 2 hour time of an 18350 based on your vape style, you won't need it. YMMV

Try out the Provari for a week or so and see how long you get between battery changes. Everyone's vaping style and needs are different. You may find you are perfectly satisfied with your current setup.

If you find that you long for longer periods between batteries, you can always order the extension cap and more batteries at that time. What's all the rush? Just chill.

OK lol, one person's last them 7 hours another last them 4 hours and a third last them 2 hours. I guess it all depends on what are useing with it.

There's no rush, I was just reading the tread with the poll about if you would buy a extended 18650 cap for your mini if they offered it and most people said they would. It just got me to wondering how long the 18350 batteries would last me.

I have a standard size coming in soon and decided that I will try it with 18500 batteries for awhile. I'm a fairly heavy vaper, but I also alternate between several mods throughout the day. I pretty much charge up all the batts in the evening and then I'm set for 24 hours.

 

[Zenataos]

At my vape pace (around 5 ml / day) an 18490 will last me most of the day, I'll go through 2 18350's a day and a 18650 will last me a day and a bit.

I'm using a ZAP with a 1.7 ohm coil at 4.4 volts.

It was totally nutz when I went from a 1000mah ego c to the provari with 18650. Went from about 2 hours between charges to 18 hours!

 

[CountSmackula]

I have the standard size & I'm kicking myself for not ordering the extension cap and some 18650s. I always seem to be draining my 18490s too soon. I use RBAs pretty much exclusively now & they seem to eat up the battery quicker than clearos or cartos.

It really depends on two things in my opinion, one being do you mind switching batts ? especially if you dont have to and can go out and take your unit with a fresh batt and not having to worry about carrying a spare. Also what ohms & Volts your vaping at and how much your vaping. I have both end caps for both of my Provari's and think it's worth having them all myself.

I bought it. Just in case I need it in the future for long days out.

You never know when the zombie apocalypse hits.

Your useing 2 1100's now =2200 maH per day
If useing AW IMRs
18350= 700maH or 3 per
18500= 1100maH or 2 per day
18650= 1600/2000maH or 1 1/2 per day compareing your present usage.

voltage+atty ohms+juice x number of hours of use will determine battery usage. Do you vape 4hrs a day or 14hrs a day do you chain vape for all hours claimed or maybe vape a few times per hour. Claiming a battery will last X numbers of hours without knowing the variables is basically useless information.

It blows my mind this hasn't been designed and sold, even by a 3rd party if Provape refuses to.

Actually it has, currently only in Satin Silver, Shiny Silver, and Black (and they don't quite match the Provari tubes), available from Kir Fanis in Greece.

Thankyou that was extremely helpful info. When I'm at home I chain vape but away from home its more like 3 hours out of 10.

I just ordered the 18650 batts and extension cap. The 18490s last me almost a day usually...but I was kinda missing vapemail and wanted more stuff I didn't really need.

Thats great, I haven't heard of them. That makes the mini that much cooler IMO
