...Purple Efest flat top and button top are the same height - so of course adapter makes it longer.


I take this back - they are not.
But it seems the adapter center is twice what it needs to be.

Its s shame we have to live with a gap to make our Provaris work. Kind of a cheesy fix for a mod that is anything but cheesy.
Its actually a kinda full circle thing. Way back in the early days ProVape sold some clear spacer rings to fill the gap if someone was running a protected 18650 cell, because the protection circuit made them cells too long, and the end cap wouldn't screw down all the way...of course, back then the V1 was only capable of drawing 2.5 amps from a cell...

Fortunately l, I knew as soon as I bought my first Provari, that it would be my long time vape. From August of last year until AW flooded, I accumulated a dozen new 18490’s. I also received 2 more used ones in a Provi purchase. I have 4 Provaris in rotation every day. I rotate the batteries in order.
With luck, I’ll be able to keep going until a solution or alternative comes along.

I use both flat and button top 18350 and 18650 batts in my P3s.
The 18650s are LG HG2 batts.
The 18350s are AW and Demonfire.
I’ve used the Demonfires for over 6 months and they work just as good as the AWs.
And you can get flat or button top.

Jum, I have something but I'm not sure what it is or if it even works anymore. How would you like me to send it to you? PM me.

Thanks to all of you on the Radius software update. I bought the Provari Programmer, which I had forgotten about. There's a USB key in the box. I also have several other PV keys. Let me check on those first before I put anyone out. Keys or not, I cannot believe I was so stupid as to delete the program. I only have 20TB or so of connected drives, so it's not like I was running out of space. Dummy, dummy, dummy...

Hey JUMA, not sure if you saw this, the Radius programmer file is on this archived page, but I don't think it's going to help you, this program connected the device to a server which then downloaded the firmware to your device. I'm pretty certain that that server is no longer on line.

I'm starting to have trouble with my Classics, and P3. I know the problem I'm having has been discussed before, but don't remember the solution, if there is one. I'm getting premature battery low indications from them. I used to be able to just clean everything good to solve this, but that is no longer helping. I will have a battery that reads 3.97 and the light starts blinking. Unscrew the cap, and re tighten, it will last a little longer. So, what to do now?

Smash your Provari with a hammer and your low battery indicator problem wont seem so bad. :)

Of course I'm being a jerk but I'm just kind of bummed out about battery availability for our Provaris and the whole thing has kind of soured me on the whole Provari thing. Now I was just informed the glass cracked on the P2.5. I give up.

    Here is my report of the battery adapter. It works great so problem solved for me. Plus, I found sources for the button top batts so I am all set. The only issue with the adapter is that it leaves a tiny gap where extension is attached. It doesn't bother me but here is a pic so you all can decide.

    Sorry about the cracked glass. You can fix it with that glass meld stuff (can't remember the name at the moment). I am sure someone on here will know the name of it.

    See my above posts for solution to the battery problem. Don't give up, it will all work out. I bet someone could replace the screen, if need be.
