Ok, so after initially purchasing a provari mini I was having a little buyers remorse. After having the device for 72hrs now I can honestly say I'm happy with this purchase :laugh:. All i need to do now is find a proper tank to go with this bad boy! The only problem I'm having is so far is as soon as I put it down and turn my back my wifey has it.....

To all who said I wouldn't regret this purchase I just want to say thank you for the reassurance :toast:

I got a pair of the AW IMR batteries from provape and one lasts me through the day. I put in a fresh one in the morning before work and swap it out a little after I get home.

When I'm off I chain vape like crazy so I've timed my battery life at about 5-6 hrs.

If you're battery is only lasting an hour you mos def have bad batteries.

Yeah I think I got some duds...they are efest. Guess I need to just go ahead to RTD Vapor and get me some AW ones.

Not the make, but maybe the batch. Buy from trusted source.
A friend uses efest in his Provari mini - 5-6 hours use not chain vaping
I use them in my eVic @ 7w, about the same and 3hrs when constantly in hand. :laugh:

I had the same thoughts before i bought my Provari. I bit the bullet, sold a bunch of unused stuff when i made the switch to carto-tanks and took those funds and purchased a V1 Provari from another member. It's a smoother more consistent vape imo. Kinda sad right now tho, i sent it off to be upgraded yesterday. Missing it already!

I've had really spotty results with efests. Usually in the form of duds.

Maybe I just had bad luck.
I think it is a matter of consistancy. I bought a couple of Efests for myself and my daughter just to see how they would compare to my usual AWs. Purchased from a trusted battery source - RTD Vapor. Two 18350 Efest IMRs for my Mini and two 14500 Efest IMRs for my daughter's Altsmoke BB's.

Initially they seemed equal to the AWs, but after 2 -3 weeks they'd hardly keep a decent charge - only lasting a couple of hours under normal vaping circumstances. Hugely disappointed. We both have thrown the Efests in a drawer and gone back to using only AWs.
