Provari Battery Life

[Creniker]

So I've decided that the provari will be my first commercial mod. I like the features and the menu, and overall I think it will satisfy my vaping needs. I need to fuigure out a good top feeder for it, but thats for another day. I know you can use 18500's, 18650's and now the provape 2500 with the provari, but I would like to know is the exact difference it time one can expect from these batteries. I know it is hard to get an exact time because there are so many variables, but has anyone vaped the same ohm cartomizer/atomizer and the same voltage until the battery died on all three of these batteries? I want to hear something like "oh the 18500 did 4 hours at 4.4v and the 18650 did 6 and a half hours ect."

Anyone done something like to this?

 

[El-ahrairah]

Yeah, I have all three types that they sell and this is how they lasted for me, all on a 2.0 ohm Boge cartomizer and at 4.0v: 18490 - 10~12 hours, 18650 - ~1.5 days, Provari Power - 3 days.

That's what I got, other people's battery life may be longer or shorter.

Thanks so much that's exactly what I was looking for. Anyone have the same test but at 5.0v?

Higher voltages with higher ohm cartos/attys will yield longer battery life than lower ohms with lower voltages, as a general rule. I can confirm El's times similar to my own.

Ok, that's easy.


I was getting anywhere from 6 to 8hrs on a AW IMR 18650 with an CE2 2.8ohms, at 4.8volts and average consumption of at LEAST 8mls of juice. I'm getting at least a full day and a half with the same setup on a Provari Power 2500. Love this battery .


Haven't used the 18500's yet.

WITH dc 2.5 ohm 4.8-5volt 14500 4-5hours,18650 10 13 hours new 2500 1.5-2 days.This is with heavy use.

 

[Creniker]

Do you think its worth the extra weight for the 18650/2500, or should I just get several 18500's?

 

[snoopyjkbx]

well, look at it this way, for a day trip, you can either just carry the Provari with the 2500 battery or the Provari with a whole bunch of additional 18500s batteries.

[Creniker]

Thats true. Batteries not in use but being lugged around weigh something too huh....

 

[El-ahrairah]

Yeah, it's best to pony up the cash now for the cap and bigger batteries than find out later that the 18500's just aren't doing it for you. I figured that out the hard way, but at least it gave me usage data I can share with you.

I think the decision should also be made based on your lifestyle and how much you vape. Personally, I'd much rather sacrifice the battery life in exchange for a smaller unit. But I only vape about 3-5 mls per day and three AW18490 batts last me about two days, or about one and a half battery per day. I'd much rather be able to easily pocket a smaller device and have a spare battery on a side than carry around a much larger PV. Just my
