Does anyone still buy Provari full size?

Masterchief explained this well. Various third party manufacturers have made beauty rings often called "Pro Rings" to hide the funnel-shaped top cone of the Provari for a flush look with certain toppers, or juice attachments. Some are simply just rings, held in position by being held in place just by being between the tank and the Provari. Something like the Hippo is an air flow controller which screws into the Provari's top connector and also functions as a beauty ring.
Tatroe Mods is a third party manufacturer which also makes a beauty ring. They also make an alternative to Provape's battery extension cap, called a Tatroe Ring. One allows use of the 18490 battery in the Mini. Two allows use of the 18650 battery in the Mini. This can be seen in my above pics in the previous post. Tatroe also makes a wide base to substitute for the regular battery cap, which allows standing the Provari upright without fear of it tipping over and possibly cracking a glass tank.

I recently purchased the Standard Provari last month and love it! It fits nicely in my hand, even though it's longer than my hand it just has a nice feel and grip. Although it is a bit "heavy" it's not too heavy, it's just the heaviest mod you'll vape from I think lol! I have the extention on my standard size to get the 18650 battery in it which actually last me 2 full days. I vape about 5 mins out of every hour, so not a super heavy vaper but that's probably because I'm vaping 18mg and sometimes 12mg(which I can hardly tell the difference), so I'm getting my favorite juices in 6mg hoping that I can vape a little longer or more often. 
BAM, there it is. Awesome how versatile this "mini" device actually can be.

ProVari Weight - 4.2 ounces (without battery).
iTaste VTR Approximate Weight: 12oz. (without battery).
I call my VTR a mod / self defense weapon
If I were to buy a Provari, I'd get the full-size with the 18650 cap. That said, I'm not paying that much for a regulated device that has no VW or adjustable airflow. A year ago, the Provari may have been top of the line. This industry moves too fast to stagnate your product. It just looks like a relic with VV only...
Your own mileage may vary, but with an AW 18350 IMR battery I get 5 - 6 hours per battery in the Mini. I keep four batteries in a rotation.

Not everyone wants or needs variable wattage. None of my seven regulated mods has it. I don't need it nor do I want it. It's just another way to get to the same spot.
I use all types of clearomizers, cartotanks, and a couple of RBA's. I've not had any air flow issues with either of my two Provari's, so I don't know what you are talking about.
Have you had airflow problems with YOUR PROVARI?

I prefer the standard size myself...
It's still quite small in 18490 mode... I think the pictures make them look a lot bigger than they are.
For me, the battery life of a Mini in 18350 mode just won't cut it for a full work day. I need at least 18490. So if I will always use 18490 and bigger batteries, I saw no reason to consider the mini.
Also, I like to look at my devices... I like the colors I get them in. I like the look of the ProVari with the standard battery cap. Now, if ProVape sold the extension rings color matched to the device, I would probably like that. But I don't like the look of a mini with one tatroe extension ring on it, much less two... It's like 1/3 of the device is brushed stainless... Just doesn't look right to me.

The latest mini version would be the widely suggested way to go; you could always add the Atmistique Twins, or Kir Fanis Extensions... They look sweet!
Do you really find them to be large? It's the smallest regulated tube mod I've used compared to others with the same battery size... I guess if all you use is mechanicals, it might seem a little bit longer...
Yeah what Telly R said is true. There are always extensions for the mini's but you should find a picture of what the provari mini would look like with the extension. I personally like the standard size with the extended cap simply because it looks standard! Also I go through batteries fairly quickly so an 18650 is always my first choice.
Last time I checked the Kir Fanis extension was no longer in production.
Ancient American Provarian proverb say,' One may face a conundrum when trying to decide between standard and mini, but the dilemma is quickly resolved once one becomes enlightened with the realization one does not have to choose only one.'
The mini is quite possibly the smallest variable voltage mod on the market. It is shorter than a 600 mAh Ego Twist.zookzor said:
Maybe VW is just a redundant gimmick; maybe adjustable airflow is a nitpicky detail. If I'm going to justify spending the money for top of the line, I want all of the bells and whistles. For $200+, I want a piece that is the epitome of the current state of vape luxury.
