Help:What battery do I buy and where

[Wildflowers69]

I am looking for a 18650 battery to go in my SID smoktech. Im currently using the one that came with my K100. It says on it ICR 18650 2000mah 3.7 V . I have found ones that have higher mah...can a 3000 go in there- and the battery is flat. Can someone direct me to a place i can get the battery i need. Longer lasting the better!

here is the 2 i use for regulated mods.

AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh
Batteries : Panasonic High Drain NCR18650PD Hybrid 2900mAh Button Top

if it will take a flat top I would get this panny instead (the new revision the the PD)

toss that ICR it works but its really not as safe as it should be for vaping.

Ya its not a button top- its flat- the link takes me to Panasonic High Drain NCR18650PF Hybrid 2900mAh Flat Top- is 2900mah ok to put in there?

yea those are awesome batteries I use the button top version in my provari and get a couple days.
and I use the flattop version in everything else.

and the battery charger...... does that make a difference is charging time, ect?

 

[Thrasher]

it can, I personally use the xtar VP-1 it has different settings for amperage and with a big battery the higher setting helps charge a little faster. any of the better chargers work good, and is essential to conditioning the batteries to perform at their peak.

I have a chance to buy a provari mini polished for 120 is that a good deal?

Seeing as how they are normally $160, I would say yes.

 

[Thrasher]

I think so, they dont die, and if they do they are cheap to repair.
you can get a special endcap to use any size battery you want.

 

[Wildflowers69]

Well its used - so no warranty.....I do want one

 

[Thrasher]

dont matter, provape will always fix it, you still have to pay but most repairs are pretty cheap.

Great price! List price for a new colored mini is $180

I got mine used. It also came with 2 crappo batteries and a crap charger and a Protank 2 for 150.
I threw away those batts and got a better charger.

Jump on it. Or someone else will. Fast.

Then go to RTDVapor and buy some good AW IMR batteries and a decent charger. The charger is just as important as the batteries. They will charge the batteries faster, make them last longer and are safer. I bought the Nitecore i2. Great charger for 20 bucks.

Get it and enjoy a superior Vaping experience.

Not necessarily. If it needs repairs, for instance, then no, it's not a good deal. Is it V2.5? If it's in good working order, go for it.

You can get a basic brand new mini from ProVape for $159.95--with full warranty. And ProVape also often sells "slightly blemished" specimens. Check their website for those. They are usually just minimally scratched; purely cosmetic and almost unnoticeable defects.

 

[Wildflowers69]

Im told its in great working condition- yes a 2.5

Im told its in great working condition- yes a 2.5

Then go for it! It's 40 bucks less than buying it from ProVape.

Good luck!

That looks interesting. It looks like a black mini that Has been polished leaving the black in all the depressed areas.

Cool mod to a great mod. Enjoy!

I agree-this one used to be black.

Word to those who buy a Provari used, and may not know...Provari's must use an IMR or hybrid battery (not a protected battery) that has a button top. Flat top batteries will not work.

 

[Wildflowers69]

Im aware and the mini is also not a 18650 without the extender. So hmm which battery on RTDvapor would i get please for a provari mini?
