About to meet up with someone to buy my very first Provari Mini v2.5! Kinda juiced but I don't really know what to expect lol. Any recommendations as to what to do when I get it? What to check on it and anything to add? Also, is there anyway to use a 18650 on it? With an extension cap or something... Any input would be great, thanks! :D

Will this "someone" be a vendor or a private sell? New or used?

The Mini Provari uses an AW imr 18350 battery (700 mAh), and with the extension cap can use the AW 18490 imr (11 mAh). Provape doesn't sell an extension cap to use an 18650 battery, but there are some third party vendors that do. Just visit the Provari sub-forums here to find where to find them. ProVari

The Provari has a built-in atomizer resistance meter (when used, it will fire the coil to test it "under load", the most accurate way to measure its resistance) and battery volt meter (also fires under load). The fire button will blink when the battery needs to be replaced. Uses a standard 510 connector, using an ego delivery device like a Kanger T3 will require an adaptor.

The Provari uses a single button for all of its functions. To get into the mode selection, you click the fire button 5 times. First mode is power up (Pu) to increase voltage, second mode is fire down (Pd) to lower voltage. Po can be used to turn the Provari off. Cb is the battery voltage meter. Ao is the resistance meter.

At some point you will want to pick up some antioxidant like Noaloxx to use on the battery endcap threads to prevent them from locking up or interfere with battery conduction that can cause the Provari to shut down. This can be found at most hardware stores or in the accessory section on Provape.

Aside from its physical condition, have the seller run through the menu functions with you, to be sure that it is operating properly.

Bring a cartotank/delivery device and drip tip and give it a test drive.

The Twins extension tubes will give you the option of using the 3 different AW IMR battery options for the provari mini.
