provari batteries

[captainpugwash]

I have the 18650 extension for my Provari mini and i have been using an AW2000mah battery in it, lasts ages , loving it and i want another, i've been looking at the Efest batteries on VE and they do a 3400mah version. Can i use it in my Provari and what are the benefits/negatives of the two ?

I'm not a Provari owner Captain. Check the length of that efest bat, it's longer than 65mm The one that is around 2000mAh is 65mm, but still not sure if it will be ok in a Provari, apparently they only recommend AWs but these efests are getting great reviews!

Yes Karma, looks like the 3400 version is to big
I'm using an Efest 18350 in the mini mode and it vapes great and lasts as long as the AW's , any other Provari owners using non AW's ?

the battery will be fine to use but will depend on if they fit as Karma said the 3400mah version is quite a bit bigger in physical size

Looking at the numbers on the site I would have to say no, they're too long
Provape do a plastic ring that you can add to the base that would allow you to fit them though. I have one and I hate it

This Panasonic battery is fantastic. I don't have a provari but it works great in my LT mini with extender. It just lasts forever.

Get 25% off with the code turkey until midnight tonight.

Woops crossed posts,
I have 2 flat top Pannys that dont fit the Provari, i bought them for the Zmax clone thats coming, it would seem these come as flat and nippled with the same serial number and you cant tell from the picture

it has a nipple, but its only raised by 0.1mm above the battery! I have no way of measuring mine either, my young'en keeps loosing the rulers!

What I like about this battery is, it uses a different technology to most other batteries. LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC)

Read this: batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_based_batteries (especially the table about 1/2 way down) to learn more about the differences.

IMR / Efest use Li-manganese LiMn2O4 (LMO)

A lot of information there Chiller, they do look like great batteries but it would be good if they gave the nippled and flat versions different serial numbers to make it clear, have you bought the ones in the link you posted earlier ?

Yea, thats where I got mine from
