My husband just cut down my tanks so I can use them with boges and I must say I really like it being just that much smaller. I am now thinking about getting the mini for out and about and just wondered how long a batt lasts. I use the standard Provari with extension cap currently and get 2 days out of a pani 18650. I know I am probably looking at hours vrs days but how long?

Usually about 3 hours of vaping for me. At first they lasted longer. I use vivi novas 2.4 ohms at around 4.2 volts, usually. Typically, I think I vape around 2 to 3 mL per day, and I usually change my battery 2 or 3 times per day. If I'm going out I always take a spare battery. I use the AW IMR 18350s.
I work 12 hour shifts & I will use 2 batteries in that time frame. I also use the aw18350's
Mini lasts about 4 hours.... bigger battery with extension lasts about 6 hours..... I think I must vape a lot, the spinner and twist only last about 3 hours.... that is since I retired and can vape at will......
I would have expected much longer battery duration with the 18350 imr. It's rated at 700 mah, which works out to 7 hours average expected duration. I realize that real life applications will alter that, including the ohm of the juice delivery device, the voltage used, and how constant it is put to use.
I get 13-14 hours on the 18490 11 mah battery when my Provari's light starts blinking, warning me of a low battery. That would be the battery used in the Mini with the extension cap. Then again, I only stealth vape occassionally when given the chance on breaks during a shift while at work. I guess everyone's experience will be much different.

I have a Provari Mini and use the standard cap with AW IMR 18350 batteries. One battery lasts me a full day (put one in when i wake up, have to put a new one in the next morning shortly after getting up). I've been using 3.0 Ohm boge cartos, or the 2.8 Ohm vivi nova heads (which usually test out at anywhere from 2.9 - 3.1 ohms). I usually vape at only 3.8 - 4.0 volts (i know this is low....but i seem to get burnt taste going any higher). If I drip with a LR atty, my battery lasts less than half the normal time (1.5 ohm atty, at 3.2-3.8 volts). I go thru about 3 - 3.5mL of juice a day. Your battery life is really going to depend on how frequently you vape, what ohm you are using, and what voltage you set it to.
I left the LR stuff behind many months ago, and have seen an enormous increase in battery life. 2.5-3.0 ohms at 4.2v gets me from morning till night. I vape all day at work and then at home. Throw it on charge before bed, refill the tank, do it all over again.
Adding to that, I actually prefer the 18350 once a day routine, even though it's a small daily hassle. The reason being that I never have a dead battery at an odd time. Always at the end of the night, so I know what to expect.
I was all set on a mini but now these battery times scare me
Just get the 18490 extension cap and 18490 batteries. The mini with the default cap was too small for my hands. With the 18490 endcap, it is still small enough to be called a mini, but with more POWAH! I think the extension cap adds about 3/4 of an inch to the length of the Provari mini.
I just received my mini today. After a full charge on one of the 18350 it lasted me dead on 8 hours. I'd say in that time frame i went through 2-3ml. Was at 4.9v on a 3ohm carto for 90% of the day and played around with an rba at 3.2v at 1.2 ohms.
What blew my mind more than anything was the fact that pro-vape doesn't lie when they say you can't tell a difference from a low battery to a new. It hit like a champ until the button started having a light seizure.
