After a long and humbling wait, it looks like I'm finally getting my ticket to the temple.

I'm undecided still between a mini and a regular, and i'd be grateful for some opinions -- has anyone gotten a mini, then ended up thinking that they probably should have bought a full-sized one instead, and vice versa? How many 18350 battery hours do Mini users generally get?

Buying both sizes may be an option, but not right away.

YEAH!!! Exciting to see a new member joining the ranks soon! I got the mini and don't regret it one bit. I like the convenience of keeping it smaller for more of a stealth move with 18350s or adding end caps for a longer mod/longer batt life with the 18490s. I just like options so that's why I chose the mini.

But other ProVarinati's Pros that have multiples can probably give you a better idea.

I had originally gotten a full sized and immediately wished I had gotten the mini. You can always add extensions to the mini to go up in size, you can't do anything to the full sized to go DOWN in size. Plus, I like the tear drop pattern on the mini.

I've only read the first and last pages, but this is great. I feel like I should open my ProVari package under a full or dark moon, while wearing a floor leangth cloak with a hood, surrounded by candles or torches in a chamber covered with ProVarinati posters or something. While chanting in pseudo-Latin.

Did you? ..........

I used a ceremonial dagger to access the precious and holy device. I slowly and reverently unswaddled it from its humble bedding, quietly mumbling the secret words of gratitude and awe as I gazed upon its great beauty for the first time. A hush fell upon the earth, and then I said unto my husband, "Holdeth mine fries," as I cautiously inserted the source of great power, sealed it within the device of vaping glory, and nimbly attached the chalice of caramel-apple nectar. When first that delicious vapor met my tastebuds, I nearly cried out in shock at the amazing metamorphosis from tasting it on an inferior device...

OK, I can't continue because my brain isn't working fast enough tonight lol. But that's basically the story of opening my ProVari and using it for the first time :p

Get them both. 18650 version as well as a mini. Better yet you need at least three to have one in all three battery sizes.

Nah, just get a mini, a regular extension cap and a set of twins and you are all set to use 18350, 18490, or 18650 batteries.

I guess I'm a weirdo here as I prefer the full size to the mini.

Never got initiated into the club either, even though I have 3 ProVari's.

After much thought i ended getting the mini. I like the fact that i could rock the small batteries and then get the extension caps if need be. Based on what i saw, if you get the extension cap the mini is still a tad smaller than the full size. I love my mini.

With the small batt i go a full day. I usually change batts at around 8 pm.

He means he has a Provari set up in each size!!
I think.
:D

I, too have one std and one mini.
Tend to run them both in 18490 mostly, but I like that I CAN go short or long if I feel like it!


The standard only allows 2 sizes. If your doing 3 you have the mini or am I missing something?

I have three of them.

I keep one dedicated to each battery size.

I used to want one of those wide base things but I quit wanting one. I don't knock them over anymore, I have been throwing them less often lately but the fall on the wooden floor does not seem to hurt them any.

The fact that mine are all silver colored ones help since there is no coating to chip.

The first time I knocked one on the floor I gasped and was afraid I damaged it. After about the 10th time I no longer worried about knocking it over. I cannot find any damage from all the falls. Not a single scratch.

I for awhile was throwing them and broke a table with one, flung one through a window too. I don't do that anymore. All of the Provari abuse was all because of one thing but I kept taking it out on the Provari. I have never let anything get me that rieled up before. The Provari did seem to mind that I abused it. It was some specific eRoll posts that got me to be mean to the Provari's.

Poor wooden floor. Abusing it like that by dropping Provari's on it.......:(

Not quite, but ALMOST, a new member of the Provarinati. When I first started a year ago, I really didn't think I wanted one. The more time went on and the more my tastes changed, I realized I was slowly starting to feel the pull. Now it's like a scream, haha. I HAVE to have one! We have a local B&M that has the new hybrid colors in stock, so I'm heading over there tomorrow ... hopefully by tomorrow evening I will be the proud owner of a new Provari Mini. :D If so, I will totally post pics. If not, rest assured I will be ordering online from Provape. I most certainly WILL haz mah Precious.
