Do the dual could just not work on them or does it do the automatic set back thing cause I have ALOT of dual coils lol
Just my 
I bought the V2 Provari with the 18490 batteries, and it lasts me between 18 and 24 hours at a time. It will fire any atty or carto, and nothing else I've tried can touch it, performance wise. (That being said, I haven't tried a Darwin yet)

Neither. Dual coils work up until it reaches the built in limits; if you try to vape above the limits, it displays E1 and doesn't fire, letting you know. Lavatubes do the "automatic set back thing", not the ProVari.
Basically, assuming a 1.5 Ohm dual-coil, that would mean a limit of 4.6V (wattage limiter is set to 14.5W).
See this document - http://www.provape.com/v/images/ProVariV1vsV2.pdf
That said, I see Phil Busardo was able to get 5V with a 1.5V carto... Check it out http://www.tasteyourjuice.com/topsecret/wordpress/2012/02/28/714/
To make it perfectly clear, that means each coil on the dual-coil gets ~7.25W which, for a dual-coil, isn't bad at all. However, I for one don't see any reason to use a dual-coil anyway, but some people like it.
I had the V2 starter kit and just got my new Buzz Pro. I knew it would improve the experience, but had no idea how much. It was like switching from water to champagne. The taste is so much better and the throat hit is just incredible. Im sure the provari is the same way. I liked the starter kit enough to stay away from cigarettes, but the VV made me never want to smoke again. I have loved every aspect of it. Im sure the Provari will do that for you too.
It seems most folks here have a hardware focus but I'm happy with what I use now (V2 at work, eGo at home). I use Boge cartos and I'm having fun finding the "perfect" juice. I have orders coming in from 3 different suppliers and I should have fun next week...
Dual coils are best at high voltages (5V and above) for them to perform their best. As for a ProVari, you're better off getting it than the lavatube. Or...better yet...a VMax...5 amp and can run anything. It all boils down too...do you want American made, China made, or does it matter to you? The VMax takes 2 x 18350 batteries stacked versus the ProVari with a single cell. I have all of these models and the LT falls way short of ever buying one again.
Why would you suggest the vmax!? It's only a few dollars cheaper but minus the crazy reputation.
So provari mini or provari!?!

I don't know why he suggests VMax, but since you asked about dual-coils, the point is VMax has higher limits. I don;t know about reputation - just that it is a Chinese combined knock-off of the ProVari and Buzz Pro all in one 
In any event, ProVari mini vs. standard is matter of your preference, strictly.

If I'm ALMOST happy with the battery life of my 650 mah ego (lasts little more then half a day) should I get the mini.
If it was based STRICTLY on size obviously I'd say the mini. But I don't wanna get the mini and the battery be ehh and wish I got the provari v2
Hi Bobby, the mini is just barely 3.5 inches long, the full size is just 4.13..... really very minute differences I think . Plus if you get a mini and the extender then its almost exactly the same size as the v2. I think you should get the one you like best. Every PV has its place.
Would you consider it pocket sized? I wish I could find a size comparison picture of ego 650mah to provari mini and even provari v2. I can't find any to an ego though, only lavatube.
Not really... The mAh is a tad misleading. It is not like the capacity of a reservoir, the total vape time also varies with the type of battery (the gruesome C-rating) and with the drain.
Anyway, my 1100 mAh KGO lasted me ~5 hours of intense vaping at it's fixed ~3.7 V, while the 18490 on the ProVari (still 1100 mAh) lasts me 6-8 hours of vaping at 4.3-4.8 V.

I can go around with it in my pocket (regular ProVari)... Also in the chest pocket of my coat.
Let's put it this way: it's three regular Boge carto lengths in length, and ~1/3 of one in width (ProVari regular with extender cap). When I say carto length, I mean the whole thing, including the threaded connector.

Ok Bobby... Your Ego 650 is right about 3 inches(~75mm) long from crown(tippy top) to bottom and about 14mm diameter. The mini provari is about an inch (~25mm) longer and about 23mm diameter. I know its hard to imagine but its not a whoel heck of alot bigger but it is bigger.
So if I got the provari mini and eventually got the extender cap (making it the size of the original provari) it'd probably last me the WHOLE day? Also why do they not make a super extender option to make it also have the option of the provari extended cap!?!?! Then the mini would be an awesome no brainer!
I guess I got over the size thing a while back. I run a DCT-V1 6ml tank on my LT at that with the biggest drip tip I could find. I can still rock it in my pocket, and with the drip tip off it fits in an ego case just fine. And speaking of dual coils, my LT does not seem to have to much problem pushing them if I am judging it by TH, etc. The thing I plan on doing is buying an inline meter so I can truly see where it is at under load. But I did make sure to get the SR carto's with the DCT's, rather than the LR's. So maybe that is why I am not seeming to have too much trouble with it? The Provari is a great device, and had I had the money I would had purchased it instead. Speaking of size, I would personally go with the V2 cause I like the idea of knowing that without a doubt my battery will last damn near all day.

True but if they make the double extender cap you'd have all three sizes in one! sounds pretty awesome to me!
The only size issue I have is as long as it fits in my pocket with a wallet and cellphone I'm happy. Oh and not popping out the top of my pocket, sorta lame... I bring it everywhere
