Hello, I bought 3 of these bad boys while my provari was out for warranty repair, upon its return...nothing. The batteries are 2900mah, high drain, and button topped. The Provari is a v2.5 with extension cap. The IMR's still work fine, but I go through 3 a day (I know, I know, I should cut back). Any ideas from the hive? Thanks!
Orbtronic PD 2900 18650's won't work

Use the recommended batteries only. Just because something is labeled a certain way doesn't mean it's made with any sort of quality or that it even performs as it's labeled. Using batteries other than the recommended AW's will also void your warranty.
Not completely true. Provape does recommend using the AW IMR batteries about five times on the product page, but only states that using magnets on flat top batteries in order to get them to work in the Provari will void the warranty.
To OP, are you sure you don't have the protected version of those Orbtronic NCR18650PD 2900mAh? I recall at least one person using the unprotected version in their Provari without issues With some regulated mods, the protected batteries will interfere with the protective circuitry of the mod.

What the bleep??? What kind of charger are you using I have never heard of using 3 AW IMR 18650's a day.... One last me all day, if you are some sort of chain vapor then maybe 2, but 3??? Something not right here......
I just check the Orbtronic site. This battery should be superb. I would contact them. Perhaps a bad or mislabeled batch.

Even though it says "High Drain"-- Its an unprotected Li-ion battery--not a Safe Chemistry 18650 LiMN IMR ... Provape what you think about it

LR cartos will have me through 3-4 in a day, if I'm running at a 10-12ml pace.
3-4 a day....10-12ml.........how do you take the time to breath?

The Panasonic/Orbtronic NCR18650PF 2900mah battery is a high-drain "hybrid" class battery. It is indeed a safe chemistry battery. (LiNiCOMnO2 = Nickle/Cobalt/Manganese) Nickle and manganese make it safe chemistry. The button-top should be fine to use in a Provari. This is the best general purpose high drain battery on the market with 2900 mah and 10 amp continuous discharge rate.
I have not, but Thrasher has.
I use what Provape recommends. I've had very good results with the AW IMR's.
