I'm thinking of taking the ProVari plunge but I can.t deciede which one. I'm using a Vmax now and like the battery life with the 2 18350's. Will the mini with the extension cap give me about the same run time? I don't want a much larger form size than my Vmax. I was just going to order the full size with the 18650 cap, but I think the smaller size of the mini with a 18350 would be nice sometimes. WHICH ONE?

I got both and I only ever use the mini (with or without the extension cap)... it's a question of aesthetics and convenience. My personal opinion is that the mini is aesthetically better, and I don't mind changing battery once a day. If you would mind carrying a spare battery, go for the full size with extension cap.
I have the full size and use the standard and extension caps. When I'm using the 18490's, I get about 10 to 11 hours out of it. I'm a very heavy vapor, and generally use DCC's at 2.5ohm, 4.5v to 5v. With the extended cap and 18650, I get very close to a full day (6AM to 11PM for me). Sometimes there's still a bit of life to it when I go to bed.
I had the same dilemma so I bit the bullet and bought both. Now I'm covered any which way.
BUT, I just bought the Twins Telescopic Extension Tube so now my mini can run batteries up to 18650. So thats a big plus.

I have to say that I now own all three. I carry several different mods everyday so I'm not worried about battery life. With the Mini you can get a couple of extra batteries and a carring case and be good to go all day long. The 18350's are small enough to carry in your pocket with no problems. (If a battery case is included). RTD vapors sells battery cases and I highly recomend them. For all batteries.

Nice one Puff... if I could go back, I would just get the mini with an 18650 extension as well as the 18490 extension.
I just saw THIS by Kir Fanis... gorgeous!
I prefer the full size as well.. I use the 18650 battery with the extention cap. At home I use the 18490 battery.
I got the mini with the plan to get the Kir Fanis 18650 ext. To be honest, I don't know that I ever will get the ext! I really like the size of it as is and I average 6hrs out of the 18350's. I don't really think I'd like it much larger myself.
Thats a tough one because everyones days are different as well as Vape habits.
So heres my take on the mini with the 18350 and the 18490
I'm at work for 9 hours 7-4, with the 18350 battery it starts to blink on the way home so roughly 9 hours, with the 18490 I get around an hour to an hour and a half more so roughly 10 to 10.5 hours. But on a marathon Vape day I can easily say I can take an hour off those results.
Thats when the big boy comes in handy with the 18650 I have yet been able to drain that in a full 24 hour period even at Marathon Vaping Speeds LOL. I usually get Nic'd out... too much Nicotine. I end up feeling like crap so I'll quickly break out my 0MG tanks and flavors.
Hope this helps.
Grats, and enjoy!
