Hi Just a quick question, i bought a provari 6 months ago (the current version), and the terminal where the positive tip of the battery touches is round. I just bought my uncle a provari and the terminal is rectangular. Apart from this the devices appear to be identical. Just want to double check that this is a legitimate provari.
minor update to provari?

There was a discussion about it in the now archived ProVari forum.
ProVari uses two different internal battery connectors. I first heard about it in March 2013. A member only had his ProVari for a short time when it started having a firing problem. While examining it and comparing it to his other ProVari, he notices the connector was different. He assumed that was the problem. When he got it back from ProVape they said it was a problem with the board, which they fixed, but when he checked inside the connector still looked wrong (even though it performed fine).
He contacted ProVape and after the CS rep talked to tech support he was told that they were/are using different connectors, but they work the same. It wasn't clear if ProVape was trying out a new connector or switching over, or what. As I said, this was in March, so I don't know if it's still going on, but since you are sticking flashlights into your mods I thought I'd mention it.
Mine are both round, which is the common shape.

Rectangle:
I just checked the ones I have now - the newest is a mini I bought in December 2013 - they all have round connectors.

My standard provari had a rectangle contact in it when I first got it when I sent it in for repair it came back with the circle contact
My bronze one I bought in February has rectangle, and the polished I bought yesterday has round. Both mini's.
