I think I found an 18350 button top (at least it looks like a button top) made in the USA by a reputable vendor. Might be the solution to original Provari's requiring a button top battery if you're willing to pay the price.
Disclaimer: the 'protected' part of the description has me confused. Is it a protected batt that shouldn't be used in a Provari or is it the kind of internal protection lion-ion batteries have that we've been using.

I've seen it for a buck less at some of the battery sites.

I wonder if it will fit in a Provari with that USB port under the top. Would it end up being too long?Time out from the entertainment venue.

Hey Mike. You actually want high-drains (vs. protected) for use with any Provari. I've never used one in a Provi, so I can't say for sure that it won't work, but ProVape was always very clear that we shouldn't use protected batts in their devices.
Not that it matters today but doing so back then would void the warranty.
I can't speak to the quality (and was never crazy about the word "fire" with batteries), but something like this does meet the Provari specs.

I was concerned about it being described as a ‘protected’ battery. I just didn’t know from the description if it was a true protected batt or like the high drain batts we use is ‘protected’ by it internal chemistry.
Surefire is a USA company highly regarded as top line for flashlights and weapon lights. I would not worry about the ‘fire’ in their name.
I replaced the original link with one to a Nitecore, but if you're familiar and okay with Surefire, they have one too. Nitecores are always wraps anyway, and I have had some "unpleasant" experiences with their chargers. I've never tried any of their batteries though so I'm of zero value there.
