ordered my provari mini!

[SlaughterhouseV]

Just ordered my satin silver provari mini 2.5 Will still keep my innokin Itaste MVP as backup and occasional use. Can't wait to throw my iclear 30s on the new provari mini.
Path for me has been: blu, revolver elite, revolver infinity ion, revolver talon, innokin Itaste vv2, innokin itaste MVP, now provari mini. Hoping draw is fine without an adapter. Now to finish my custom jwrap design and get my pila ibc charger ordered. Later will get the extension cap and bigger batteries but believe the standards will work just fine for me. That and maybe the serenity flex holster lanyard combo. Can't wait for this to get here.

Order the ext cap, besides longer battery life it feels much nicer in the hand due to its rounded off edge vs the standard caps sharp cornered edge.....

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

I will have to keep that in mind. I have heard a couple other comments on the edges of the standard end cap. Guess I'll have to wait and see. If it bothers me I'll order the extension cap. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Wow got my shipping notice already from ProVape. Excellent

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Ordered on 21st and provari mini has just arrived. Letting it and the batteries get to room temperature before charging and using due to the cold temperature outside. Excited to say the least and astonished at the shipping time. The bottom end cap has not bothered me in my handling so far. Does not feel sharp but do think the way the extended cap is done will be even better so will still be acquiring for use of larger batteries but seems fine to me.

Also ordered my Serenity Gear Flexi-Holster today for mini with both end caps since they are taking orders again.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Loving the provari mini. Should have got one a long time ago. Serenity Gear flexisleeve on its way now. Also have a complete tank setup from ibtanked on the way to see how that is vs my iclear 30's I've been using on it.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Went ahead and ordered the extension cap and a couple larger batteries along with a pila charger now that provape has them back in stock.

Your going to love it....wait until you see how much nicer the extention cap feels in the hand...
Did you order some 15mm spacers or the screw on Pila charger spacer that Provape sells? You will need it to charge 18350 batteries with your Pila...

I do prefer the drop in spacers...

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

I saw the spacers however I did not order them based on some reviews I saw stating that it came with 4 spacers and 2 spacers are needed per bay for the 18350 which would provide enough to charge an 18350 in each bay without acquiring spacers. If that turns out to not be the case then I'll order some spacers but for now trusting the reviews on provape's site that stated it was not really needed.

Thank you on your comment about the spacers.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

My Pila charger should be here in an hour or so. Tremendous shipping from Provape. I will then post confirmation of the reviews I read as to whether or not additional spacers are needed or if it works as it arrives.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Well the adapters screw in and can hold an 18350 but I can't speak to working. I can't get any lights at all on my pila ibc from provape unfortunately on it or the larger batteries for the provari mini.

Well you better order the spacers cause you will need them for the 18350 batteries..
Here is what the Pila does with its screw in spacers that come with the unit:
The Pila Charger is compatible with a large range of rechargeable 3.7volt Li-Ion batteries including: 14500, 17500, 17670, 18490, 18500 and 18650.

It will come with 2 spacers that are screw in types.... They will be screwed onto the unit already...
They will charge the 18490's with spacers installed...to charge an 18650 you unscrew the spacer...
To charge an 18350 you will either need the longer screw in spacer Provape sells or you can buy the drop in spacer that fits between the screw in spacer that comes with your Pila and the battery.... Trust me I have owned a Pila cahrger for 2 1/2 years.....get the drop ins...

Another battery the Pila can charge is the 26650/26500...One a time...

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

With the default posts in the 18490 fits perfect, with the spacer installed with it they do not. With an included spacer installed the 18350 fits fine. I'm trying to figure out why I can't get any lights on the charger at all.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

So all tests point to a DOA Pila. Provape is generating a label to get it shipped back and exchanged.

 

[UncleGDogg]

What is the big win on the Pila? Faster charging?

I'm basically hovering over the place order button... lol...

Trying to talk myself into it. Punched Cartos? Check., IBTanked tanks? Shipped., Battery? Dang those are high!

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

For myself I talked myself into it for the safety measures of it, charge time and the fact that everyone reports it to never over charge which will also extend the life of the batteries. I look forward to getting my DOA Pila replaced and seeing how it performs and lives up to my expectations from others reviews and accounts of them. Thankfully I have the Tenergy charger for now in the interim.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Got my replacement Pila IBC from Provape. I went ahead and ordered the metal Pila spacers they sell along with some other parts as well. I am also happy to say that at least with mine the included spacers work just fine charging the 18350s I have without even needing the metal spacers. It is nice to have the others as backups but the standard charger came with spacers to charge my 18350s and without the extra spacer it charges the 18490 fine. Awesome charger and just wanted to update.

but the stock cap works great for tapping hard headed youngsters on the skull to get their undivided attention
