I'm using regular Li-ion 18650 with mine (panasonic 2900 mah). They are flat top so I added a drop of solder to the positive terminal (warning: not recommended as you can damage the bat). The bat is lasting through 6 ml of juice without sweating. I'm guessing it would die between 7-8ml but I never get that far
I have also tested the Tenergy 2600 (continuous discharge of 3.9 amps) and again, no issues at all. I run 1.3-15 ohms at 3.6 to 3.8v.
Does the cap close all the way with these batteries because I have a few and could just skip buying IMRs?
Also would a thin magnetic spacer so the trick you think?
yeah... i have 4 reg... 18650 AW black...button top 2200 and flat top 2600. Not the red IMR's - i have those too; ordered for the Provari.
I use them on my Phidias' ... a bit of overkill having 4 ( i sold a couple bottom feeders that these were used with as well).
Just want to know if and how people are using them on their Provari, and with what attys and which voltage.
They do last longer...
I read that they will not work in certain applications ( HV ?)... but will for apparently what others have stated (Nuck for one; jimho ... 2 days!).
thanks.

For anyone with flat-top batts...put a magnet on the positive pole (like the small flat magnets that come with a Phidias). They are a cheap way to convert your flat-top to a button top and they work.
Sorry, saw this post after I posted my response. I use one on a BDL that I got from COV. It works.
I'v found that many 18650 PV's will work if you put the positive flat top at the neg. postion... upside down.
Has anybody heard from Provape about what has been shipped out so far?
What is your number?
Mine is #3233

im 3252 should be sometime this week........................................I hope so, im tired of waiting
I was thinking of using a magnet on the positive terminal but it's not a good idea given the magnet could shift and touch the inside of the body at the same time resulting in a short. Assuming you are using a battery with protection or at the very least a thermistor then nothing really bad would happen but it's still not worth the risk.
Edit: The cap closes all the way for both the Panasonic and the Tenergy.

Would that be the difference? I know what you are saying but this is the way I see it.
I don't have much money so it isn't that I can just buy everything I want but the more we have made in China the less we will have to spend in the future because there will be no jobs. I'm sure you have already noticed that little problem. I would rather buy one thing made in the U.S than two items made in China. If we don't start thinking like that...........well, we won't even be able to afford the cheap crap from China.
I have a question. Has anyone else gotten their ProVari and noticed that the atties and cartos sit at an angle? Which also leaves a gap on one side. Thanks.
Yes and I'm not liking that one bit, for the cost of these the machining should be perfect, the top cap on mine is badly machined and defective how I see things, I was waiting to see if anyone else had this issue other then me, its not right and Im not happy about it for what I paid Skydragon
I would like mine replaced too, at first I thought it was the Atty's I was using, it's not I've tried for different manufacturers Attys now, everyone of them sits way crooked on the unit, like I said I was waiting to see if anyone else had this issue, I definitely would like mine replaced, this is a bad top cap for sure, the milling is not right.!
In fact now when I look at it very closely, I can see the Atty connector is mounted crooked, and it is very clearly noticeable.!
I was kind of afraid to ask. Plus, I'm cursed so figured it would just be me.

I would try and take a picture but from what I understand you can't upload from your computer and to be honest, I don't really want to cause problems for David. He is nothing but nice and always goes out of his way to make everything good. I just didn't know if it was just me.
I would be curious if anyone else has that problem though. If so, I am sure it isn't wide spread. There are always going to be a few glitches.
