Moderate vaper - Full size or Mini

[Puffcat]

Been agonizing a week now between the two. I have a Johnson Creek Vea (2.8V/650mah) and one battery lasts thru the day. Would 2 18350's a day in the Mini or 1 18490 a day in the Full size be enough? I would guess that I would be vaping a lot more with better equipment!

It also seems like all the posts, videos, photos, etc... are for the Mini. An example would be most of the tanks threads. How are people dealing with the relatively short battery life? I know the 18490 extension is available but then it's not really a Mini anymore. Finally, thoughts on the V2.5 fullsize styling (crop circles as some say
)?

An 18350 is about a 800mAh battery... an 18490/500 about 1100mAh (it varies with quality, and makers frequently exaggerated ratings)... so, the numbers say, you are first, a bit less than a moderate vapist, and a single 18350 should last you all day.

Absolutely a mini and an extension cap. If, in the future, you find yourself draining an 18490 faster than you'd like, you can put a Tatroe extension ring between the Mini and the extension cap to use an 18650. This way, you can run it in whatever configuration, depending on your needs/wants/desires at the moment.
Regarding the crop circles, couldn't care one way or the other. At the end of the day, it's the electronics I was after. the rest is just a tube to carry a battery and a connector for my atomizer.

Full size

You can make a mini larger, but you can't make a full size smaller.

I have both a standard and the mini. I use both, but mainly use the mini for out of the house (either in 18350 or 18490 mode) and use both the standard and the mini at home in 18490 and 18650 mode. The mini is definitely the more versatile one if you have the appropriate battery extenders. I don't mind carrying a couple of spare 18350 batteries in my pocket in a plastic carrying case, because the mini is so much more pocket-friendly than the standard size.

I went with the full size and with an extension cap. Really its comes down to preference. They both are great its just whether you think your gonna use a 650 or a 350 more often, as they both can accommodate 490's. The regular one is still relatively small, its the same size at its tallest in 650 mode with the extra cap as a svd in 350 mode

Finally went with the full size. No extension initially but I like having the option for the 18650's. Satin with blue led. I think I am one of the few that actually likes the "crop circle" design. I really liked the Mini's design too but after playing around with some Craftsman screwdriver handles in the same sizes as both, the full size just seemed like it fit my hand perfectly. Should be here Friday!!!

I've been trying to decide which one to order as well and I think I'm going to go with the full size one. I use my MVP2 when I leave the house and will leave my future Provari at home. Only 40 more days til I get my hot little hands on it. Ugh, 40 days sounds terribly long once I type it out.

I'm wondering what their "early Christmas shopping deal" is going to be that they posted about on FB.

sounds like it would last you. you can always get the extension too. The full size vari with the 18650 extension lasts me one day, but i chain vape like a nut. My gf has the full size without extension, it lasts her 2-3 days.
