I've used a Provari Mini and Vivi Nova tanks for several months. It's working well for me, except when I travel. One (1) 18350 doesn't get me through the day so I can several batteries and a charger. I'd like to lighten my load a little. Is there a good travel charger or another mod I should consider?

My travel is mainly a several days in a hotel and working in strange office so I'd love the setup to be inconspicuous.

I always keep at least 2-3 charged batteries and carry them around.
If you're using a vivi nova one tank should be enough so you don't really need to carry juice around
Just carry an extra charged batt and switch out when u need to
Also, if you're going overseas. Make sure to find an adapter for your charger.
I made that mistake and was without my vape for a few days :(

I prefer to use a couple LR 510 bridge-less atty's when I travel for less than a day and bring a protank and nibmus for multi-day outings. My first experience with air flight and tank/carto didn't work well with the cabin pressure. I typically take my evic, one mechanical mod and a 1100mha twist (just in case) which will last me two-three days without charging.

I'll ignore the comment about one tank being enough for several days, and move on...

If you're going overseas, just a heads up that most airlines won't let you take more than 2 li-ion batteries in your carry on. They're not allowed at all in checked baggage. That makes an 18350 a pretty poor choice for overseas travel, in my opinion.

soshot - you could always get an extension cap for your Mini so you can use 18500s. You can even get a telescoping extension that would allow you to use an 18650. Xtar also does a single bay charger that's so small it's almost pocket friendly.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Missed the last part of your post about an inconspicuous alternative. Personally, I don't have a problem with the size of the regular ProVari in 18650 mode - which is about the same size as the Mini with the Twins extension. If you need something smaller, Kanj's suggestion (see below) is right on. Perhaps take a look at the iTaste MVP - 2,600 mAh and charges via USB.
