I have finally decided to buy a Provari, after reading threads for weeks, I need help to decide between the full size and the mini. I have had my Apollo V Tube mini for almost a year, is the Provari Mini performance, battery wise, the same? If so, then I know I need the full size Provari. Seems like to have a great vape currently I need a new battery every 2 or 3 hours, is that the small battery or just a characteristic of my V Tube? Please help, I want to order ASAP. Thanks for your help.

I currently have a Provari full size and using the 18490 battery. It last about 5 - 6 hours for me but I think it did last long at some point. I have not bought new batteries in over a year now. I think I need to change them 
Anyways I do recommend getting the full size its not that big.

I get about 3-4 hours out of an 18350 and about 6-8 hours out of an 18490 with the extension. Your mileage may very.
I have 2 Provari's. Both are full sized & one has an extension. I'm happy with the size & take the one without the extension cap out & about. I usually leave with a fully charged battery & it lasts me all day. Good luck making a decision! Either way I'm sure you're you'll be happy! Let us know which one you choose!
My first Provari is the full size. I got a chrome extension cap back when Provape was still selling them. I use it in both default and extended form. Fresh batteries in the morning. The 18450 begins blinking around 7 pm, the 18650 starts around 10 pm. For most situations the Provari in extended form best fits my large size hands, and the fire button placement is nearly spot on. In extended form it can get a little wearisome and heavy to carry-out-and-about, and is not quite as pocket-worthy. (Just my opinion)
I had always wanted a Mini to use mostly for on-the-go situations, so I gifted myself one for my one year smoke-free anniversary. It is lighter in the hand and quite pocket-worthy, and in default form can be quite stealthy in one's hand. The button placement is not as convenient as with the larger Provari due to the Mini's shorter length, but I've only had it for three weeks so I'm sure I will adapt quickly and natural finger placement will automatically occur at some point. I only use it in its default mode, because that is why I bought it. I have tried the chrome extension cap from the original Provari on my new black Mini. It fits perfectly and looks quite nice. The regular Provari sees more at home use now, and the Mini gets to see the world.
Which one to get first, I would say consider what situation you will use it the most. If when out you want a great vape with portability, more lightweight, and more pocketable, get the Mini and just carry a couple of spare batteries with you.
If this is going to be your ALL day device, both home and away, I suggest the Provari with battery extension to use the 18650 battery for all day use.

It depends on your needs and how many milliliters of liquid consumed.
It also depends on whether you use the evaporators with low resistance and genesis.
Small is more convenient, but the big has more autonomy because it gets larger batteries.
I'll suggest you get a mini with extension and some batteries above 18490 aw imr

Get one of each. I have a mini for on the go and a full size for home. The mini with the extension cap is the perfect midpoint with an 18490 battery and is the same as a fullsize without the extension. So I would go that route if only one option was available.

You could get the mini, and then get the twins extension so you can use 18490's or 18650's with the mini.

Oh my, I'm still torn. You all have such passion for your Provari's. I'm really gonna wait til Monday to order, and may resort to pulling an option out of a hat. Thanks for your opinions. I'm still reading, keep them coming. So excited to be a Provari owner!
Interesting interview here of the Provape Team that designed the Provari:

Instead of buying two Provaris, just buy a Sigelei Zmax V3 Telescopic flat top.
Ive got a provari black mini with blue LEDs and matching black extension cap for sale...
Regular Provari and Mini with battery extension. Same 18490 battery for both in this configuration.
