Since everyone raves about them, I am close to getting a satin black with blue led provari. I'm just not sure that I will see a huge advantage over my SS Vtube though. My understanding is that the voltage regulation is better. Is that the only difference?

Secondly, I'm not sure if I should get the mini or the full size. The ability to take the 18650s is nice on the full size as I have two devices that use them already, but I don't know how much use the others will get once I get the provari(I might sell them if the provari is as awesome as everyone says).

I am also concerned that the mini would be TOO small as I am 6'4", but it might be nice to have something that fits completely in my hand.

Thoughts?

Hoping to order today... :p

Voltage regulation and build quality. Looks too if you count that :#

And the mini or regular sized option is sorta up to you. It's how much you're willing to trade battery life for length/appearance.
Do you not mind switching batteries 3-5 times a day and want a short as possible PV? Battery w/no extension.
If the regular with the extension is just too long then maybe the mini with extension would suit you better??

I can make an 18650 last about .9 to 1 day long of vaping usage. I've heard of minis without extensions needing 2-5 batteries a day.

The mini/regular extension/no extension is a choice that only you can make based on personal preferences and vaping needs

EDIT: btw, mini is 3.48 inches long w/o extension cap and the regular is 4.1 inches long without the extension cap. it doesn't say on the website but if I remember correctly each extension cap adds around .2-.25 inches on both.

I personally prefer the regular sized Provari. I love the weight and feel in my hand. I have somewhat large hands and it just feels right. I own a Vtube as well and I still use it sometimes but the weight seems weird at first when I go from the Provari to it. Just my personal preference but based on your height, you may do better with the regular size IMO.

I'm 6'3" and I just got my mini in the mail last week. I got black satin with blue led as well, looks amazing. I wanted something smaller so it would be easier to carry in my pocket. It is the perfect PV for on the go. If I want a bigger battery I got the extension cap too. I will say this, it was a lot smaller than I imagined. If you have not held one and just base it on the pictures out there, you will be surprised by how small it it. But I love it, I think it is the perfect size for me. Either way, you can't go wrong. It's an amazing PV and is just quality through and through. Good luck.
