I'm looking to buy a provari v2 and want to use the 10 18650 batteries, with the extension cap can I use the 18650 battery that are like 65mm long, not the flat top?? I don't have the flat tops, I just have the longer (regular) 18650 batt. Just want to make sure the extension cap will fit my regular battery not only the flat top 18650. Please let me know so I can buy with certainty. Thanks

Never mind I found out that u actually have to use the batts with the pos button instead of flat tops! I'm all good! WAIT...... just looking and it says to use HIGH DRAIN BATTS? Does this mean I wont be successful in using my good old trustfire 2400mah with the positive nipple?

Does any provari users use regular 18650 batts that arent High drain?

I just got this reply from provapes in regard to this:
"We only recommend using the AW red high drain batteries because these cells have enough output current to handle the demands that the ProVari needs. While the trustfires and others with a button top will work, it's when you get into pulling more power those protected IC batteries will shutdown. This is because the protection circuit on the battery is turning off when it reaches its output max which is only about 2 amps. With the AW cells they can supply a lot more power to the unit."

Now I understand, I will have to spend about $50 more to get the special batts. :( darn.. Guess it will be worth it.

I bought my AW IMR 3.7 volt 2000 mah batteries for $10.95 each from Super-T and the shipping is only $1.71 on most orders. You might want to email them first to make sure they are in stock.

Super-T does have the best battery prices around.......... You can check if they are in stock on the website, SuperT will say out of stock if they are...You wont be able to add it to your cart either.................
