I've had my satin Provari for 7+ months and love it and use it daily with 18490 AW IMRs. The only issue I have with it, is that it's very heavy. It feels about twice as heavy as an old 'Buzz' which I no longer use but which is similar size and uses 2 batteries..
I have noticed that the size of the provari (to the atty connector) is more than twice the length of the 18490 AW IMR's. Surely something can be done with the electronics inside to make it more compact and light weight ? If you could reduce the length 25-30% and weight by 30-50% I'd buy a new Provari 2 (in fact I'd get 3). My parents love the provari but find it too heavy. I'm a big guy with big hands but still find the weight awkward at times and I don't even use the 18650 extension!
Oh and in addition to the above .. if you ever do decide to make a Provari 2 please consider using those 'precious metals' for the connectors that SuperT are using in their new (mechanical) PVs .. something to do with never needing to clean the contats. i find mine corroding all the time and needing a scrape
