i do. im a big guy so the extra size doesnt faze me and see no reason to limit my battery life. funny thing is i thought it was big at first, now when i hold a 1000mah spinner i think man that thing is tiny lol.
I like the increased battery life of the 18650's, as I can go 24-36 hours without changing batteries. At best I'd get about 24 hours with the 18490s.
But every once in awhile it is nicer to use the smaller size.
I'm kind of wishing I had gotten a Mini & Twins setup, that way one device can use all 3 batteries (to my understanding).

Me too. I have 5 18650s I keep in rotation, havent used the regular cap since I bought my Provari
The extension cap looks better too, at least to me. I thought I'd miss the SS on either end but its quite the opposite.
Rounded edges on the cap kinda piss me off, as it is much easier to knock over than the standard flat cap. Don't really see why the stock cap & extension have different edge styles.

My Provari is one of the earlier, true chrome models and it looks great with the extended cap - hate the rounded edges, though, also.
I'm in the same camp as all of you. I want to change batteries once every 2 days, not twice a day. I currently have a 900 mah Twist and a 650 mah eGo and I kill them both in a day. I have to take both to work for that reason, so I think the 2000 mah would be a much better option.
The rounded edges are what threw me off about it too, lol.

I found an easy and cheap fix for that.I bought an old wooden ashtray and some of that blue insulating foam from Home Depot. About 30 minutes with an exacto knife and some e-6000 and I had this.
Holds a spare tank, a 30ml bottle of liquid and my Provari perfectly.

That's not bad! I like that it doesn't hold all your kit so it looks like an arsenal. Nice job.
I use almost exclusively 18490's in my Provari. Reason being that I like it in the middle ground size wise between all the 18350 and 18650 stuff I have. Plus, I work at home, so battery changing isn't a big deal.
I ordered the cap, 18650 is the battery I use in all my stuff it seems like the perfect size to power ratio for me.

This is the reason I don't even understand the purpose of a standard ProVari anymore?
The circuit boards are exactly the same in the regular ProVari and the ProVari Mini... So why not ONLY sell the Mini, an extension cap for 18490's and an extension tube (that can be used with the standard bottom cap) for 18650's...
As it stands, I also do not use 18490's as the battery life is significantly better with 18650's... However, with only a 300mAh difference between 18350's and 18490's, the difference isn't all that noticable...
So on a Mini, I would only ever use 18350's, and on a standard I would only use 18650's...
I've offered up my suggestion of discontinuing the standard to ProVape, we'll see what they do with the 3.0... I just don't see the point anymore when the Mini is a much better option for people that want a smaller mod. I guess they know we're silly people and will just buy both...

simple,, how would they sell two of them? more money in two provaris then one provari and an adapter.
I got 2 18650 batteries too. The Provari just feels a lot better in my hands with the extension cap. Without the extension cap my pinky is right at the end of the extension cap and it kind of bothered me. Plus the extra vape time I get with the 18650 is great.

I use both the 18490 and 18650's. I like to change things up, and I'm glad I have the option to.
I knew I was going to buy a Provari about a month before the colored tubes first went on sale. It was about this time that Provape made the announcement that the chrome editions were going to be discontinued. I played on a hunch and immediately ordered just a chrome extension cap, one month before even ordering the Provari.
My hunch proved correct, once the last chrome extension cap was sold, it hasn't and likely never will be offered again. When I use the 18650, I have a relatively rare looking satin blue Provari with a chrome end cap.
"Now doesn't that make you feel special!" - Church Lady, SNL. Yes, in fact it does.
