Hello:

I already have two ProVari V2's with the extension cap using the 18650 batteries and am extremely satisfied except for its weight. Does anyone believe that there is a good reason to buy a Mini for its lighter weight and smaller size? I want to be able to vape for at least three hours without a battery change using the 18350 battery. Foe reference, the 18650 will last me six hours.

Cheers,
James Welborn

The mini is great plenty of life on the battery even with 18350 not bad it depends on how much you vape at what voltage and what ohm atty/carto is attached.I've had both and have sold my regular varis and kept my mini's i like the size and feal.I have a twin adapter comming witch allows you to use a 18650 on the mini.
Yes the mini will fit in your jeans pocke no problem.

I have the Regular with the 18650 batteries (2000 mah) and I get an entire day out of one battery. I can't imagine what jwelborn will get with the 18350 700 mah if he is only getting 6 hours with the 18650.

I wondering how much lighter the Mini really is to the Regular. They are the same diameter with the same innards, and as JoeChemo says the Mini is only 16% shorter (approximately 1 inch ?). I'm guessing the Mini is still pretty hefty in weight.

I recently got a Smoktech V.V. Gripper to use for out-and-about because I felt the extended Provari was too heavy to bring along for shopping or whatever. Having said that, I still want a Mini. (Come on Provape, I want satin red for a color option. I've got until April).

sounds to me like you already know the answer ? i had one and the weight is not all that bad imho.

with an extension cap it is almost the same weight as a regular pro in its normal size

I just bought a standard v2 back at the end of November. Absolutely perfect device. I was running it with 18650 with the extension cap. I found I could make it through the day. I decided to go back to the standard 18490 and preferred the smaller form factor. Unfortunately at that point I was still carrying the 18650 battery and the extension cap just in case. Well I decided to check out the Mini. I loved the even smaller form factor and the grip on the Mini. I went ahead and bought the mini also. I couldn't resist it. Now I carry my mini with an extra 18350 and it makes it through the day until I get home and can use my standard. I don't regret a second purchasing the mini. Its perfect for work. Still has that heft I love from the Provari just in a smaller more pocketable form factor, and carrying the tiny 18350 extra battery is no big deal. If you like your standard you will love a Mini.

I have a Chrome version 1, it is a year old now, without the extension cap.

I was more than happy with it at home but was willing to have something smaller for outside. So I just ordered a V2 mini with the extension cap.

The idea is to use the mini with the 18350 batteries when on the outside and bought the extension cap so I could also use my 18490 at home or in case something happens to my older V1, as it just did a couple of weeks ago:oops:

Anyways, can´t give you a fair feedback, since I haven´t received it yet. But I surely can understand your idea, since I had the same one:p

Best regards.
