How long does the battery last in your Mini

[Jeremy Evans]

I am thinking about getting a Provari Mini, but I have a question for you already lucky ones who have this. How long is your battery good for on a typical day. I am a vape heavily and burn through my 1000mah twist atleast once a day. Should I consider getting the fullsize Pro instead of the mini because of how much I vape or would a Pro mini last me if I keep and extra battery handy? Thanks in advance

My 18350's last around 5-6 hours, but this will vary wildly from person to person. When I'm running 18350's I usually have a battery case in my bag with 4 fresh 18350s in it because you never know! You can purchase an extension from provape that will allow you to run an 18490 in the mini. 18490's last me around 8-9 hours (same disclaimer as above). There are other extensions that can be purchased that will allow you to run an 18650 in the mini. Just remember, you can make the mini into a full sized, but you can't make the standard into a mini.

I have both a mini & 18650 size. I like the mini's better. I use 2 batteries a day & usually around 10:00 at night I put in a 3rd. I'd say they last me 5hrs per battery. I always carry a spare in my purse, but usually I switch to my twist when going out.

Even though I chain vape, I only end up changing the 18350s about once a day. I rotate with my Twist, but I was surprised at how long they last (for me).

Are you turning it off all the way in between vapes or just leaving it on? So you guys just think I should get the mini instead of the full size and buy a couple extra batteries?

Turning it off won't reduce power consumption. It only prevents pocket fire.

If you want a smaller mod, I'd say go with the Mini. If you want 18650 later you can buy the Twins extension.

If you want 24~ hours of vaping without interruption, go with the standard & extension. Or a mini + twins.

Really the Mini + Twins is the most universal setup possible with the Vari. I'm kinda kicking myself for not going that route. C'est la vie.

The Twins does change the look quite a bit. IMO its not as much of a 'finished' look. Not saying it looks bad though, and I think it'd grow on me rather quickly given how genius of an idea that piece of kit is.

I thought on the Provape page it specifically says to not stack batteries in them?

"Twins" is the name of a 2nd hand telescopic tube that can be added to the mini. You wouldnt run stacked batteries for any reason. With then twins, you could run an 18650. Kir Fanis also sells a plain steel extension tube that looks a little more polished than the twins IMO.
