Johnson Creek Vea to Provari

[Puffcat]

Currently have the Vea and considering either the standard or mini Provari. I currently get a whole day on the Vea's 650 mah battery. Best guess if I could get the same time on the Mini with the 18350 battery?
Thanks

I guess it depends on how you define "whole day" I get 24 hours off an 18490 from my Provari.

But, it would also vary depending on your voltage.

you should be able to get the same time or better. depends though. on you vape habit. your voltage your atomizer what battery you have etc. etc. but you can always get the extension cap with the 18500/18490 and that last me about half a day or so of heavy vaping. but i definitely recommend a provari. its a great device and will last you forever.

New guy here and wanted to add that the Vea runs at 2.8 volts and is regulated. So ignoring the extra 50 mah in the 18350 and considering the Mini would always be running at a higher voltage, would I be swapping batteries multiple times per day?
Thanks

like i said before. depends. but i always carry at least 1 extra battery with me if not 2. and always have a backup device with me as well just in case.

Wow, you guys are quick! I have been swaying back and forth between the Standard and the Mini for nearly a week now! Some do not like the new "crop circle" design of the Standard but I think it looks great. Love the looks of the Mini! So size and battery life are the deciding factors. Size wise, it's hard to tell from online pics. Anyone near Mesa, AZ have either one I could see first hand? Battery wise it sounds like the 18490 would be the safer bet.
Thanks

Funny how some recomend the Mini for "stealth" vaping. What about the giant plume of vapor rising above the owners head!!! I do carry my Blu PCC as a spare when out with the Vea. Not quite at the same level as others here but it works.

I am so sorry! You live in Mesa, AZ- and the closest shop to carry a Provari is in Tuscon. :/ I tried looking at a few shops in your local area and for some reason they only carry mechanical mods! So I guess Arizona is sub-ohm territory?

Next local vape meet is not until the 17th. I am sure I would be able to see some there. I just do not have the patience to wait that long before ordering one!

It's all about wattage, not just voltage, so of course it depends what resistance atties you'll be using on your ProVari, but honestly, any battery will drain faster than a 2.8v regulated battery... What resistance are your atomizers ?

Anyway, if you want more battery life in a small form, I suggest you look at variable voltage eGo-class batteries (eGo-C Twist, eVod vv, iTaste vv 3). There are many good ones on the market, some, like the Vision Spinner, come with 1300 mAh capacity. And you can adjust the voltage to your liking. The iTaste MVP is 2600 mAh--but it's box shaped.

agreed. ive been steady vaping the provari since i got it about 6 months ago. and had never tried a spinner till about a week ago when my friend came over. and i must say i was surprised. it gave a nice vape and he said the battery lasted him well over a day.

I use a mini Provari with an extension cap that takes the 19490 batteries.
I vape A LOT.
I go through 2.5 18490s a day, so I always have a spare with me and one on charge whenever I can. I would imagine I would use 3 18350s a day, easy.
If you go with a tube mod make sure you get only great quality batteries. ProVapes STRONGLY recommends (as do I) you only use AW branded batteries. They cost on average 1 or 2 dollars more than crap batteries.
More important is a good quality charger. I have a Nitecore i2. Great quality and only $20.

So far, I have only been using regular cartomizers and mini (1ml) clearomizers. I have been refilling both before empty and switching flavors alot but my best guess is using 2ml per day. It seems like I am vaping constantly but obviously not getting the same volume of vapor. Provari reported battery life is all over the map due to all the different variables I guess. Too bad they do not have a Provari rental service! I like the idea of a Spinner for backup but really set on a Provari for main PV.

 

[gregamite]

yea. at first i was going through about 2ml a day but somthing happend and i can easily clear 6ml a day. but its all good. and it all depends on everything. but yes i use provari as my main vape and always have a mech with me and have a vamo sitting next to my bed at all times. 3 pvs set up to vape and i am constantly switching depending on what flavor i would like to vape. but good luck and i do suggest a provari with an extension cap with 3 18490s and whichever topper you would like most.
