ProVari v Mini, owners perspective.

[meeems]

I was actually thinking of doing a 'trade' in the classifieds for my provari mini with blue led and 4 18350 batteries. for a provari v2 with 18650 extension cap. couldnt care less about the led, and i already have 2 18650 batteries.

But i just wasnt sure anyone would bite.
and then i'd have to hit the post office and all that crappp.

Do you have the extension cap for the mini to use the 18490 batteries? That would improve battery life somewhat. If you still didn't like the battery life, the cap will also fit the regular size Provaris, too. You could keep the cap and just sell/trade the mini.

 

[meeems]

Nope, just the small batteries. i really really want the provari v2 with the 18650. i came THISCLOSE to ordering it too. man i'm bummed.

On the plus side, I'm betting that you could get pretty close to what you paid for it if you sell it. I don't think it would take too long to find someone to trade with, either. Or, just keep it as a backup and also get the V2. That way, if something happens, you'll never be without one if you have to send one in to get fixed.

 

[meeems]

Thanks, i have the lavatube for backup. so yeah, i'm going to probably hope for a trade.

is the batt life really that bad mine will be here tomorrow

 

[kabonk]

I get about 6-7 hours off the battery which I think is pretty good for the size I'm using tanked 3ohm boge at around 5.3v

About the same here using 3ish ohm. I've never needed more than 2 batteries to get through the day with it.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

I get similar use using about the same set up, well the important bits like voltage, Boge 3 ohm.

A tank is a tank is a tank. It leaks yes, it leaks no is the important part of that one.

 

[Procrustinator]

Just remember, if you're asking a 3.7 volt battery to put out 5+ volts, your battery life will be shortened.

 

[Richkellett888]

I was actually impressed that I get that much life out of the 18350 batteries. nothin close to the mileage of my v2's but pretty good for the little guy. I'm using tanked boge 3.0's... usually around 4.5 to 5 volts

 

[meeems]

from what i've read, apparently i'm a rare breed. but yah for me, its about three hours, i guess i must chain vape more than i thought. and as others have mentioned, my setup is to blame as well.
But let me know though when you get yours okay?...misery really does love company'.......heeeeeee

[Andy Thatcher]

Just out of interest did you get better battery life when using the 3 ohm carto mentioned earlier in the thread ?

 

[meeems]

you know what Andy?, i cant remember, i ditched it to go back to the 1.5 ohm dcc/tank, i didnt like the dryer vape without the tank'.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

I have a couple of tanks for Boge sized carto's and 1 for Dcc's but use Resurrectors, yeah doesn't do you any good I am afraid. Bit of a trip to WA and BC from FL !

 

[meeems]

awe, well thanks for the thought.
i dont mind switching batteries when i'm at home. but i cant say i like bringing all my batteries wherever i go when i'm out.
and the lavatube just isnt cutting it. i'm too spoiled now with the provari.

 

[junjunb]

Hi meeems!
Sorry, I think I just missed it, but how many hours can you use your Mini 18350 running the 1.5 carto?
Thanks!

 

[meeems]

Hey Junj,

3 hours max. and i dont believe i'm even chain vaping. tested it out yesterday watching tv. vaped regularly. and still only got 3 hours.
but like i said before, apparently i'm in the 'rare breed' category.

Thanks for the reply.
Im a 1.5 carto user as well, I guess Im a "rare breed" as well
Planning to get the mini - by the way, are you using a 1.5 dual coil carto?
and only getting 3 hours huh...

 

[meeems]

I"m using a 1.5 dcc with the tank.
let me know if you get different results, curious to know.
yeah you got it.
