I have had two of these for about 3 months and I have noticed a huge drop off in how long they last. The one I have in my provari today is already down to 3.5v and I was unable to vape for most of the day. Compare this to they lasting 18 hours of constant vaping when I first bought them. I noticed when I take them off the charger they are only reading 3.9v on the provari vs 4.2 they used to read after a full day charge. Anyone else have this problem?

Is that the orbs you're talking about?

clean your Provari

Yes, that is true, a friend that has a Provari bought a lot of batteries to replace old ones because that batteries were not lasting like they did before, I was curious about that, so when we met I cleaned the electrical contact points of her Provari, tried one of those old batteries and Voilà! the old batteries worked as new again, lasting / performing as they did before.

I got a pair of those SX22's for my JGG and cant use them with the standard telescopic piece. Fortunately, the GGTS telescopic is slightly larger and they fit in those fine. I will have to be satisfied with my Panasonic NCR18650PD's for now.

They won't fit in the JGG brass alloy tube but do in the ss.

I soak my provari in 99% pure alcohol every three months as recommended by provape. But I shall trying it again. thank you.

Just received some Orbtronic 3400mAh 18650's instead of my VTC4's and I was wondering: Should I keep them? And compared to what I ordered, are they any better?

Edit: I'm running a mech mod, only. Usually subohm.

Orbtronic 3400mAh much better than vtc4, but for regulated mods only (if they can fit).

Just a heads up after talking with Engineer to clarify certain things. here are some facts so it can help you which Orbtronic is right for you,


1) Orbtronic PD2900: this Battery is best for Variable Voltage that doesn't exceed 10 amp applications.

2) Orbtronic SX22: These batteries do hit hard and they can go as high as 29 amps. Very very good choice for Sub ohm applications.

3) Orbtronic sx30: These batteries hits a little harder than sx22 but very, very little difference like a .01-.02 volt difference.

4) Orbtronic 25: Now these Beauties are the best of the best for Sub ohm applications. These give you more power on load than SX30. Also you can go to 31 amps. They reduced the mahs to increase more volts on load. Since in sub ohm applications we don't generally wait for battery to get to 3.2 volts I know for me once its about 3.8-3.7 volts I'm already popping it in charger.

Since i still get many pms about this I thought I clear some of the questions.
