I bought the extended cap for mine and strictly use 18650 batteries with mine. If you do buy the extended cap I highly recommend the new Provari Power batteries they sell on the site. I have 3 IMR 18650 Protected 1500mah batteries that I am saving for my REO Grand when it gets ready and I get it because I have no need for them in the Provari anymore because the 2 Provari Power batteries I bought do me just fine.

Great Purchase and an awesome price you got on that deal, you are going to love it!

one more thing I noticed when I bought my ext cap and provari 2500mah batteries I splurged and bought a pila charger I was using a cheap trustfire before and that thing was always running charging one battery or another. the pila charges batteries really fast about 2 hours on the 18650 and probably less then an hour on my 14500s I think it was worth its price for the money I'll saving on electricity in the long run.

With the 18490 (I have 2 of these) I can go through 3-5 ML of juice. I also have the Extended Cap, but have yet to use my 18650 (I have 2 of these) yet. I usually have a fresh charge batt in the morning and when I get back from work I switch it out. The extension does add some length which I don't like.

I would say go ahead and buy the extended cap so you don't regret not getting it. You don't want thought lingering in your mind. That way you can choose what configuration is the best fit for you.

Great! keep us posted on the woody.

Rip all the plugs out of those ce2s and fill by tilting and dripping down the side. Fill it with one of your high vg juices. Put in top (mouth) plug and push all the way down against ceramic. Pop in mouth piece and vape. Turn upside down and back up for next vape.

I put up with these things because I like three or four vapes in a row, sit it down for a while, then repeat. With heavy vg, nothing I've found will wick fast enough to suit me except dripping in an atty. With these, I can fill up 30 drops and do the magic wand trick between each vape and get a consistent vape. Even if you decide to leave all the plugs in, try flipping it between every vape, especially with high vg juice.

I'm still looking though. Next month, I plan on ordering some attys and some of these. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-mods/221377-stainless-steel-doughnuts-dripping.html

The Pila charger is almost a must imo . Once i got a Pila i pretty much stopped worrying about safety as the Pila is the best charger on the market . Its also pretty quick . Its a one time purchase so imo the 40 bucks is welllll worth it . Also id say get the 18650's as its more of a standardized size which can be used in other devices as well down the line as well as it lasting much longer before needing charge . Just my opinions .

Have the pila charger and 3 of the Provape 2500 mAh batts - get 12 - 14 hours out of the batts (mostly at 6 ish watts). Rotate usage the batts - will see what the recharge life-cycle is like. Provari device is impressive and satisfying. Will have to also have to wait and see what the longevity of the chip-set and button is like. Absoulety no complaints so far.
