Help: I'm about to hit the BUY button...

[Sed Contra]

I want to make sure that I'm not overlooking anything.

I'm ordering a Mini with 2 small batteries and 2 18650's with the Tatroe base and 1 ring.

Everything sound right so far?

My plan so far is to get ONE regular charger. My understanding is that I can be charging two differently sized batteries on it at the same time. Is that correct?

Also, presumably they wouldn't sell a crappy charger, but is there any reason why I shouldn't buy the stock charger?

Thanks...I literally have everything in my cart and I'm ready to hit BUY - except that I want to run it by the good folks here first.

Is there anything else that I'm missing or should rethink?

Hey there! The only thing that I would personally do is add another 1 or 2 batteries. Everything else looks great. I purchased my charger from Provape as well & haven't had any problems & I've had it as well as the batteries since February. There are other chargers out there but I didn't really feel like placing 2 or 3 different orders & Provape is known for their quality so I didn't have any worries about it.

I hope you enjo your new purchase! Now hit the buy button already! Lol!

Four batteries isn't enough?

Oops! I misread. Thought it only said 2 batts total. Sorry...long work weekend.
You're good to go!

 

[Sed Contra]

Awesome. Thank you.

 

[Chimney34]

No problem my friend! I hope you enjoy yours as much as the rest of us do!

You'll need two Tatroe Provari Rings to use the 18650 batteries in a Mini. The Provari base is just a replacement for the default Provari cap.

I'm personally would not pay money for the Tenergy charger, but that's just me. I'd get either the Nitecore i2 or i4 Intellichargers at RTD Vapor - Battery chargers at RTD Vapor

 

[Sed Contra]

I was hoping that you'd chime in, man. I thought that the Provari website says that one ring with the Tatroe base.

Tatroe ProVari Wide End Cap with Spring

I should have specified - the Tatroe wide end cap.

 

[Sed Contra]

Based on your word, I'll go with the i4. Thank you!

One ring and the Tatroe base allows use of the 18490 battery, same as Provape's battery extension cap.

Tatroe ProVari Wide End Cap with Spring

I should have specified - the Tatroe wide end cap.

It says in the product description that the base and one ring allows the use of the 18490 battery. It makes no mention of using two rings to use the 18650. My pictures show that two rings and the base allows use of an 18650.

 

[Sed Contra]

Gotcha...now I have to find where on their website rings are listed. So far it's just a check box with the base.

Not sure if Provape even offers them on their site. I got mine from here: Tatroe Mods

 

[Sed Contra]

They do...but apparently only with the base - not separately. I'll just get it from Tatroe. Thanks again, man. I trust your opinion and guidance.

In my mind Baditudes nickname is 'The King'. Great guy here & his info is always on point! I've learned tons from him! Glad he caught that base issue before you clicked buy. I've never used one on mines. You should certainly be set now. He's never steered me wrong!

I can testify the tenergy charger for 17 bucks at provape is alive and bangin' 11 months in so far, and yeah the more batteries the better vape budget wise. Maybe double up on the stock tenergy charger too so you can charge 4 at a time like I did.

I hit the BUY button. I bought the Tatroe base and one ring from Provape (it's cheaper), an extra ring and a Kanger base from CigTech, and the Nitecore i4 from RTD. Thanks for all of the advice. I had a bad day today...and I want to do everything that I can to make sure that vaping is as encouraging as possible so that I stick with it. The price of this stuff is worth every penny so long as I'm not smoking! Now I need to know more about tanks and RBA's. I like ProTanks, but only have experience with the entry level dual coil SS A6 RBA. There's so much to learn still. One day at a time...even the smallest victory is still a victory.

 

[Chimney34]

Yeaaaa!! You've got that right! One day at a time my friend. Here's my on the RBA & RDA thingie since I'm still pretty new. I got my mesh, silica & wire from RTD vapor. Great stuff!

I started with RDAs & still use them daily. For a easy build I'd start with something like an IGO-L. If I can get a good build the first time around then anyone can.

RBA's...these are newer to me than the previous. It took a little more to get this one right since I kept over heating & popping my coil. I took Phil Bursado's advice & went with the smoktech rsst. Once you get your build right it's amazing. He & many others recommend this as a starter. Just got a Richman RBA today so ill be building that one later this week so we'll see how it goes. I also have a Russian 91% on the way from a coop. It's a clone of the kayfun lite & has great reviews so far.

My best advice is to read read read as much as you can & to watch a couple of videos on builds & you'll be all set. Plus you'll have the perfect device for them since your Provari won't fire if their is an issue with your build.

Good luck & happy vaping!
