Just received my first itaste vv! Provari is very heavy

[Sweetab]

I have just received my first itaste vv today! It came fully charged and ready to vape!
I have found that my provari mini is too heavy to hold all day.The 18490 battery doesn't seem to last me more than 1 1/2 hours either. I guess I am a heavy vaper? I must say that I do enjoy the look, feel, and function of the provari mini.

I also have an innokin mvp on the way.

Any other recommendations for a lightweight pv with a long battery/charge life?

Thanks

I am a very heavy vaper as well and my battery last alot longer than that...are they new freshly charged batteries? I don't have any suggestions for a lighter apv...PM me if interested in selling the mini!

How long does your 18490 battery last??

I take it straight out of the charger, and have max 2 hours vape time before it starts blinking.

The MVP will be great if you're a heavy vapor like myself. I get at least, a day and a quarter. Lately, I've been challenging the MVP by trying to run out the battery in a day, and I just can't do it.
It has some serious life in it!

To know how long something should last we would need to know the mah rating and what voltage or watt setting you are at.

The MVP is pretty heavy, as can be expected with a 2600mah with lithium batteries.

As far as something with long battery life and light weight - I was at a place called Steam Cigs. They are the store owned by the people who make a few mod products including epipe mods. I saw a prototype for a 2600 US Baux. It isn't lithium batteries and in a wood casing. Internal batteries with a micro charging port and variable voltage. I don't know when it will be on the market but it looks nice. Very lightweight.

My friend and I had been hoping to buy an mvp for a couple weeks and our b&m would always sell out the day they got them in. So last night when we were there looking to buy one they said they were on order and expected in any day. So we prepaid for them so we wouldn't miss out again. Now I am staring at my phone, willing it to ring. It's as bad as stalking the mailman!

My only concern is that I know I have no idea how to use the thing...It's the new VV/VW style.

Your batteries might be bad or your charger might be malfunctioning.
I get 6 - 9 hours on a 18490.
Have you thouroughly cleaned the bottom cap & tube threads and put a dab of Noalox on them lately?
What batteries are you using?

Sorry, double post.

Are you confusing 18490 for 18350s?

The Provari Mini takes an 18350 stock without an extension cap. Maybe you those mixed up? If that's the case 2 hours of very heavy vaping sounds more reasonable.

I also get 6 to 9 hours on my AW 16490s on
my Provari Mini. They are only 2 weeks old.

What Brand battery are you using? Are they old? What are you charging them on?

You running 6 volts?

Are your batteries AW

I am using the batteries that are sold at provape. I'm not sure what brand those are? They are red imr's. I haven't lubed the threads. The provari is only 2 months old. I use the charger provided by provape as well.

Just pm'd you directions for MVP 2.

 

[Sweetab]

The batteries are aw's , and I'm running at 4.2 v. Is there anything I should check? Not sure how to check the wattage?

Thanks so much! I am looking forward to it. It's my first box!

Actually I sent it to the person I quoted. I'll send the same to you.

+1 for cleaning. My mini with 18350 lasts minimum 3 hours if i'm vaping heavy. I upgraded the end cap and now use 18490 batteries and lasts a lot longer. Take a look at the provape website that has instructions for cleaning. It should make a difference. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't think I would have to clean it already, as it is practically brand new(2 months).

You must be a heavy vapor. I get 5 - 6 hours with my AW 18350 batteries, and 9 - 10 hours with the AW 18490 batteries. I personally would upgrade your charger if you got the Trustfire Provape sells. I use the Nitecore Intellicharger.

The iTaste MVP should be a nice fit for you. I got 2 if not 3 days per charge with my MVP, so you should get at least an entire day. It can also be used as a pass through.

Another lightweight easy-to-hold and pocket-worthy mod that will last all day is the Smoktech VV Gripper. It uses an 18650 IMR battery and goes for around $40. SmokTech Gripper Variable Voltage

Using a multimeter or your provari to check the battery voltage before & after charging.
The battery should be 4.2v when it's fully charged.
The bottom cap & tube complete the negative side of the electronic circuit, the cleanliness of the threads is important to proper operation.
I have to clean the threads at least once a week.
The cheap trustfire charger is unreliable at best.
