In addition to what Mike said -

If I have my ducks in a row, there were two types of ProVari 2.5. The difference is one is approximately 1/2 inch longer which means it can be used with an 18490 battery without adding an extension. The ones on the Vapor King website is the longer version so I use my bronze without an extension with 18490 batt. I do have the extension cap in case I want to use an 18650 batt. The shorter version requires two extension rings plus the end cap that came with the ProVari or one extension ring and one extension cap to get it so that you can use 18650 batt.

The white/pink pictures shows what the extension cap looks like whereas the silver picture shows the extension ring.

Maybe due to the numbers although there are many who have much more than i do - but thanks for the title. As far as it relates to knowledge if someone comes along and corrects anything I have said that is just fine with me.

Hmph. Never knew u could upgrade the p2.5 to take flat tops. I find the button top only a real PITA. And button tops aren't that easy to find.
The P3 takes flat tops, that's one of the changes they made.

I seem to remember, a P2.5 w/ the flat top still requires button top batteries ... it's a cometic change ... so the original requirement of button tops remains to make contact w/ the board.

I guess I'll have to manage with just one Provari 2.5...though now I wish I could get a beauty ring.

If you'r willing to buy from Creme de vape in England you can get the nicer Svoe rings for a good 'close-out' price. Even w/ the international shipping it might not be much more then the original cost of a ring from Provape. These rings taper to 22mm so you don't have that tiny ridge like the Provape rings.

When I bought the 2.5 Classic's, they offered an upgrade for them to the P3 head which takes flat tops. It wasn't just adding a beauty ring so it would look flush. The entire 510 was the P3 head, & took flat top batteries just like a P3. They had the 2.5 body & the P3 head.

AW IMR 18650 3.7v 2200mAh

yur right they don't say, but this was the batt that the Reo was made for at the time. If you use the magnifyer thingy, they are both button top. Looks like it to me anyhow, and I know they are if they haven't changed.

I never thought much of them ( especially with all the problem threads on them )...
Until one of the staff here had his refurbished old one sent to me.
I always had just thought VV is VV...
