I just ordered a Provari Mini. I currently have a Lunar Copper with a nautilus on top and a innokin VTR. What should I put on top of the Provari? Anyone run a Big Daddy's Lil Mama on theirs? I have yet to wind my own coil( I've only been vaping for 2weeks). It feels great to no longer smoke the analogs. I'm still adjusting to being dehydrated and having a dry tongue, but I'm figuring out that I needed to drink more water and chew some gum to keep the saliva flowing. Any opinions will be sincerely appreciated. This was a big step, but in the long run I know it will keep my interest in the hobby.:D

.9 maybe. You didn't fire a .09 on a provari.
For non rebuilding ...I've heard great things about the Aerotank. Ibtanked carto tanks are really nice....Nautilus, maybe?
A kayfun is a pretty easy build as is a taifun. They are both great on a provari and they both deliver a first rate vape.
Congrats on the provari! They're excellent devices.

The best thing you can put on a provari, good choice going mini BTW, is the fogger v4, I run a Fv4 on my mini @1.4ohm and it is easily better in every way possible than my r91's or anything else.

Your limited w/ provari to amps a combination, to explain easy, lower ohm builds will not allow you to increase the voltage / wattage on the mod. Your better off building your atty a bit higher like 1.4ohm ish so you have that range to select from, as opposed to a 0.9 ohm build that errors above 3.8v

Additionally you want an atty that delivers at the power level provided by the provari, I'm assuming you are not looking for a dripper, you generally want a mechanical mod for that route. the Fv4 @1.4ohm 30 ga build is fantastic, it's 95% as good as my other fogger v4 @0.5 0hm and again it shuts down the r91's and kf's

" good choice going mini BTW"

I am looking at getting a Provari and wondered why you would get a mini over the bigger one?

I have the mini. Never regretted getting the mini. I like the smaller size. If I ever wanted it bigger I can buy the extended ended cap.
Haven't felt the need. I have four AW 18350s with two plastic battery cases that carry two batteries. I just bring a few extra batteries when I need to.

It really depends upon what your expectations for the device will be. The mini is more pocket-friendly, so it is better suited for out-of-the-house duty. The drawback is you may need to carry a spare 18350 battery with you (18350 battery lasts me approx. 7 hours per battery). It is also more versatile -- you can make the mini larger but you can't make the standard smaller. You can purchase a battery extension cap ($25) to use the larger 18490 battery (11 hours) and add a Tatroe Mods battery extension ring ($15) to use the 18650 battery (20 hours).

If strictly battery time is your priority, a standard Provari (default 18490 battery) with the extension cap (18650) is you best bet. The mini & the standard Provari have the same feature set and same microprocessor on board, they vary only in what size batteries they use.

Why Provari?

I own both a standard and a mini. My favorite is the mini.

Provari isn't going to be pushing a ton of power, might as well get the smaller setup, that's my opinion. My fogger which is arguably the most power thirsty atty, runs just give on 350's and I'd rather have a smaller device.

I started with carto tanks (ibtanked with smok carto) on my provari mini, kept a nice low profile since they were the halfling tanks. I got tired of having to deal with cartos gunking up quick and having flooding issues, so I decided to give rebuildables a try with the kayfun. I went with the 3.1 just because of the catch at the bottom in case I screwed up and flooded it. It was pretty easy, but I definetly did some research of watching people building them on youtube. I haven't looked back since. I've now got two provari minis, both had kayfuns on them but now I'm using the smoke RSBT. Easier build in terms of less pieces, and i did nano body on the kayfuns, which will hold about 2ml or so, and this rsbt is just a little smaller and holds more liquid.

You have a device that will perform great now, so take some time and do your own research into rebuildables and they will suit your device well, but anything else as long as it works for you is perfectly fine as well. Whatever keeps you off of analogs.
