Hi,
My first mod is the provape 2.1 model and I love it. It takes 14500 batteries which givese 3.7 volt vaping right?
Anyhow, I do want to buy another mod, a Super T precise, however I'm not sure which model to go for. I'd love the P-10, since it's so small (I know I would need lots of batteries to carry around, if I opt for this one), but what is the difference between the models, P-10, P-16, P-18 beside the battery size? Bigger battery means more voltage? How does voltage affect vaping? I just thought bigger battery means longer vaping, thus less switching.
If somebody would explain this to me, that would be great. Also, which one of the Super T's would be similar to the provape, power wise?
Thanks to all of you who turned me to the Super T line, what a beautiful mod.
I do have one more question, all mechanical vs electrical (like the provape), plus and con?

Well now you opened a can of worms. We will have the mechanical versus electric food fight in here. Anyway Everything you are looking at is 3.7. The batts are bigger on the P-18 & P-16 than the Vape which uses a 14. So those two units will be larger in diameter than the vape. The P-10 of course will be slimmer than the vape. The bigger batt units will provide longer vaping between charges. On the the P-18 you can stack 2 3volt batts and vape at 6v. Essentially the higher the volts the more watts you can get to the atty and that means more heat, bigger vapor and TH. You have a nice 3.7v MOD now and what you are looking at is another 3.7v MOD. The Super-t Is a work of art but you may want to look at a variable volt unit so you can run the spectrum of voltages and dial in the sweetspot for any atty/cart/juice combo you like

The Beginner's Kit comes with 2 14500 batteries which are 3.7V. Bigger batteries don't mean more voltage. They mean more mAh, which is the battery life. With the Precise, the model (P-10, P-16, P-18) pretty much means the diameter of the battery cylinder, which in turn means a bigger battery and that means they last longer between charges. Most of the protected batteries we vapers use with mods are either 3.0V, 3.2V, or 3.7V. The 3.0 and 3.2V are doubled up so that you get HV vaping. The 14500 batteries on the Provape site are rated at 900mAh, meaning they are rated for approximately 9 hours of usage between charges.

The Precise P-16 is going to be as close as you can get to the Provape in comparison. The P-16 is going to use a slightly bigger battery, but they're both going to be 3.7V.

What are These LR and HV Atties? will explain how voltage and ohms affect vaping. I think this is an important article to read for anyone who is thinking about using LR or HV atomizers and anyone who is thinking about getting a mod.
