You could have just ordered a few AW batteries off the ProVape website. They are the recommended batteries for ProVari's.

I guess what I'm asking what is a good "long lasting" battery for it mainly because I drive a truck and don't want to change batteries a lot is there any high mah batteries that people use and will work in the 2.5.
AW's are considered good quality batteries. Since the listed mah rating is more or less whatever the manufacturer decided to put on the label, I wouldn't choose a battery based primarily on the advertised number. I know that there are also some Panasonic hybrids and some Orbtronic batteries that get a lot of mention here on ECF. But, I don't know the model numbers and I don't know if they are appropriate for use in a Provari.
I would just order from provape and make sure you get a good charger. Any 18650 should last you at least a full day of pretty heavy vaping. I doubt you would need to swap batteries before you need to take a break.
Check out RTD vapors. They sell AW batts, grab up a couple of the 18650s, they have 2000 & 1600 mah. They should last you all day depending on how you vape.
Or you could see if your provape points will give you a discount and buy them there.

You definitely want IMR-type batteries (high-drain, safer-chemistry) and the button top variety, regardless of the brand.
Provape stresses to use only AW IMR button-top batteries for the Provari. AW has a long standing reputation as one of the more consistant and safest batteries that you can buy. I agree with vangOgh that you shouldn't choose a battery based solely on the mAh rating. There are no standards that manufacturers need to follow as to the rating that they claim. A lower mAh battery of high quality is better than a higher mAh battery of lower quality.

Hmm . . . Did anyone mention the AW IMR battery? 
The said is the only battery that goes into my Provari.

I have a ..... ton of AW batts, I lucked up and caught a sale on them from Provape (they were cheaper than what most places charge for Efests) when I ordered my Provari. Having said that, I have been useing the Orbtronic PD2900s a lot latley. They out last my AWs almost 2 to 1. I know Provape recommends that only AWs be used (I'm keeping an eye out for the "Duty Car") so use at your own risk.

ok I know on the website they recommend AW but the actual downloadable manual doesnt. AW seems to have the most consistency with the button tops working.
they are great batteries for quality.
but hands down this is the wickedest battery around for the provari, i have 4 now and go days without charging.

orbtronics is constantly hammered, lol between us and the flashlight guys we keep him busy. great people and always guaranteed to be A rated batteries.
many sites now carry this battery, it will be green i think without the orbronics label. but has to be the PD i know there is a 2900 without the pd and its not high drain.

There is two different 2900s that I have seen with out the "PD" ones protected and the other is a flat top. Run time for the PD2900 is crazy long, great folks, you order two they come in fitted foam with a free case. They don't seem to take much longer to charge then my AWs either. If they are sold out, they restock really quick so just keep watching.
I have heard those panasonics were nice, if anyone knows of a reliable site that has 18490's please post
I think the flashlight market drives the demand for these types of batteries, 18650 being the more common size makes the other sizes a lot scarcer.

Just keep watching, they restock fairly quick. I think the longest I have waited for them to come back in stock was like 5 or so days. RTD has the green wrapper 2900pds in stock right now.
