Debating Provari- help me decide!

[StormFinch]

OK thanks everyone for talking me into the inevitable. Im gettin one!! Just waiting for the Cyber Monday sale.

Now, im going back and forth on size. I like the smaller form factor of a mini. But I vape pretty heavily- I get a full day out of my MVPv2 but not much more- sometimes i completely kick a full charge in one day. I vape ~2ohm dual coil at 4W.

Now I dont mind switching batteries ONCE during the work day. But more than that will be a pain as i dont want to lug around many batteries and/or a charger.

18350/mini- ill clearly be changing this more than 2X a day.
18490/mini/full - May be able to get by with 1 change during the workday ..?
18650 - probably would last me the full day, i hope. but big....


So I guess 18490 is the way, but do i want the option to go small when i need it, or go longer life when i need it.... hmmmm... any inputs based on real-world usage let me know!

I'd say go with the mini and either the extension cap and a tatroe ring or the stock cap and a pair of tatroes. Tatroe Ring Provari Steel That way you'll get the best of all worlds. Here's a pic from another thread of a mini with two tatroes, thanks goes out to the OP:

Personally I'm going with the set up in the pic, (I Think,lol) mini with stock cap and a pair of tatroes. I get a full day on an 18650 battery in a Lambo, so will probably get 4-6 hours out of an 18350.

what the heck did you spend 1500 bucks on if you're only down to two batteries? Juice????

I know how you feel, I'm saving for mine,,,,,,,,,and most likely, it won't be until after Christmas til I can afford one. sigh.

Most are in multiples. In search of the perfect bape as im still smoking cigarettes, first thought it was the clearomizers, then the juice, then battery. Finally figured out that i like the cartotanks with smok dcts i have 8 of those tanks plus gave my son two. Then realized the clearos made me not like the juice, so finally found three good juice vendors, wasted alot attempting diy juice. Still working on that. All this since september. Not to mention the blu ecigs, njoys soith beach smoke, it adds up fast. I stopped adding my reciepts at $1200. I have it all in a folder and cant look at it!

I have a folder like that only without the folder and I call it a giant pile. :/

I play around with a lot of devises, my Provari always gives me my baseline. Some wacky shizzle with an RBA on the Provari it goes. Ya I wish it had more bling, but it is a good, solid reliable device that one year later is still firing strong whilst my other toys putter.

 

[JimzDogz]

ProVari sucks!!!

I agree I hate ProVari soooo much, that I bought a second one. Just so it could sit unused because my primary one refuses to break down.

 

[StormFinch]

OH NOES!!! I really shouldn't have hit google for pics... now I REALLY like the black provari mini with the tatroe rings. *sigh* *Keeps whispering to self "black will show scratches, black will show scratches"*

Get the black, get the black, no scratches, no scratches

This is how I ended up with my Stealth mini

I have 3 490's & vape enough that if you glued my Provari to my hand I wouldn't even notice. I have yet to kill a battery completely, but I switch them out once in the morning & once in the evening. They charge super fast as well. HTH.

I must be the only person in the world who isn't impressed with the Tatroe stuff...lol

Not that it's bad, per se...just not to my taste.

I suggest buying something really REALLY sexy for when your husband comes home,,,,,,,,,because you will need SOMETHING to keep you alive after THAT conversation

well, if you can afford it, that is

Nope,,,,,I'm so with you,,,,,,,,,

hence the reason I'm getting the regular sized provari with the extension so I can use 18650 batteries.

Maybe Provari mini with The twins adapter? In that case you could use all three types of batteries (three sizes).

Oh, don't get me wrong...I have extenders and stuff...just not Tatroe....lol

 

[CommaHolly]

18350 batteries would be a joke for me,,,,

I kill my 2600mah MVP battery in 6-8 hours,,,,,,,,

although I did use it for 12 hours before killing it yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,AND I cut down from 20 to 14 ml of juice per day this week!

I hear you,,,,,I just don't like the tatroe extenders either,,,,,,,I will be extending though,,,,,,

18350s are great when out and about when one isn't chain vaping like at home. It keeps the device more compact and lightweight and really, I've only ever had to change the battery once while out for a long time.

At home, however, I usually use the extenders.

Don't forget to toss in one or two of these when you're batt shopping.

2 1/4 by 1 3/4 appx.... so it's small and super easy to carry along.
