Two Provari questions?

[Zbeast08]

The smaller 18350 batteries are sensitive to too much voltage too quickly. If you are fortunate to have a charger that is adjustable, use the lower setting to charge the 18350 batteries. It may take a little longer to charge them this way, but they will like it better and will reward you with a longer life expectancy.

Thanks Bad....I was gonna PM you that question, but was trying to limit myself to 1 a week to ya for answers!! But then thought that someone else may want go know as well!! I really appreciate this forum and you guys that always respond with factual info.

I often try to include a reference with a link for matters like you asked. I did a quick search and couldn't find one, but I do remember reading that information about the 18350 batteries.

I actually thought that the Xtar VP1 would recognize the 18350 battery and make the appropriate charging algorhythm automatically on its own. That's what these high end "smart chargers" are supposed to do.

Here you go. A good review and the info and charging rates for different battery sizes.

The only difference between v2.0 and v2.5 is a cosmetic change in the steel body's engraving. The inner electronics are exactly the same.

The only thing I'd order from Provape with the Provari would be the battery extension cap to be able to use the longer lasting 18650 battery. At time of purchase, you are also offered to extend the 1 year warranty to two years total. I didn't bother with that because the Provari is one of the most trouble-free APVs that you can buy. Provape will continue to service your Provari for a reasonable fee even after your warranty has expired.

I suggest buying your batteries, and a good quality battery recharger if you need one, from RTD Vapor Genuine AW Batteries at RTD Vapor a US vendor that specializes in selling genuine brand-name batteries. Of course, with the standard Provari you'll need the red AW IMR 18490 battery, and the red AW IMR 18650 battery if you get the battery extension cap. Be sure to order the "button top" variety.

For a charger, the Pila, Nitecore, and Xtar chargers are most recommended. Battery chargers at RTD Vapor
