I will have to look, I might have a P3...
I'm at work today, so just trying to check back every so often.
I got a few different mods on clearance when ProVape was selling off things, before they sold.
Most of my stash is Provari's :) Love them!

18490 - 3.7V -1100mAh

Good morning Dale and lurkers :wub:

Thanks everyone, slept a good portion of the day and the headache went away.

Guess NY will have to switch from vaping to the recreational stuff because our :censored: governor is still looking to legalize it. *insert HUGE eyeroll*

Ugg. I’m going to have to pull all my stuff out. I imagine I have the button tops as well. You can’t get those anymore? :glare:

Hope everyone has a good day.

Ok, I had no idea about the button top batteries not being available anymore.
I read around the forum, and I guess I'm screwed.
I believe everything I have takes button tops... and I also suspect a vaping ban for our state any day.
The flat top is 18500 that fit into the provari’s not 14500 sorry I got the number wrong.

No worries, I haven't ordered anything.
What about Reo Grande, do you know if those will take a flat top?

Just like that....my headache has returned. Kidding sort of. :rolleyes:

Hiya bnrkwest! :wub: sooo good to see you.

So those are what I have stashed, provari’s. With a bunch of different tanks, thingamabobs and doohickeys. They use both button and flat top batteries? Or now do I need to find other mods that work with the tanks I have? Sorry to post and run. Lunch is over.

Check the batteries you are using now if they are 18490 than get 18500.

Oh, you know, I think mine are lp too...yes, they are.
Do I need to look for the same mAh?? I noticed they're all different.

If using a provari with the extended tube for 18650 batteries check imr batteries i think they still sell 18650 button top batteries.
...that's exactly what I'm using...or can use. I have extenders, so I can, and prefer that size.
Have you seen anything re: Illinois yet??
I haven't, but I'm pretty sure at minimum, there's a flavor ban looming.

...flavor ban won't hurt me, but the gal I work with~~~~~
She hasn't really *ever* stocked up on anything....she lives in Missouri, so hopefully the hammer won't fall there too quickly, but who knows really.
Mah doesnt matter i think, amps matter more depending on the ohm of the coil. Pm me your addy i have 4 18650 batteries button tops i dont use anymore.

As far as Illinois goes the gov is ready to put a flavor ban in effect. Not sure about hardware. I diy so I’m not worrying about a flavor ban. I just stocked up on wire, rda’s and mods. Now I’m going to get a couple of gallons of nic. Pg/vg will always be around so no need to stock up on those.

I'll read around and see if I see anything re: mAh...it's been too long since I looked at any of that...:blush: Just don't remember.

Right, I'm the same here. Barring battery issues, I should be good.
Fingers crossed.

mah is mili amp hours, amp is power. If you build 1.0/1.5 coils I would look for 20amp batteries. If you go below 1.0 get 30a. I am not the best for that kind of info best to ask in the battery forum or look for Mooch's battery blog for the best info.

Pretty sure batteries will always be around. I have a good stash of them so far so I am pretty much set for awhile :)

20a battery is fine for that type of build :)

Mooch has a great list of the best batteries to buy.

Your tanks should be fine, it is how you build them that affects what ohms the Provari's can handle. I have manuals and you can find them online too to see what the cut off for coil ohms are.
