The cap I have is the one on the left and I can only use the AW IMR 18490 with that.
I would need a cap twice that depth to fit an 18650 into the Provari.

You must have a Provari Mini then

Oh Damm.
Does that mean I have to go and buy another one now?

Well I can't seem to find any batteries for this Provari except those over-priced ones at VapeEscape.

I found some Efest ones but they specify they are flat top:

I also found some AW IMR on eBay but again, they specify they are flat top:

What about 18500 so I can use the original bottom cap that came with it?  Would be nice for semi-stealth mode.

If I'm shopping I like to put some effort in

I don't think the VapeEscape batteries are 'overpriced'. You have bought an expensive, top quality mod and the makers recommend AW batteries. VapeEscape's will be genuine AWs.

That being the point here, get them from ebay and they could be fakes. I'm afraid the saying "you get what you pay for" applies here. They will be safe, last a long time and wont break your Provari (In my opinion of course).

I thank you again for your advice guys.

I'm picking up the feeling that I should stop being typically Yorkshire and go to VE lol.

In fact, I'll drive there now. Only 20 minutes away.

Cheers.

Good move, don't forget to take your Provari so you can try before you buy!

I buy most of my hardwear from VE.
Yes I probably pay a bit more for it, but from reading topics on here, my stuff seems to have a much longer life than others that have paid cheape prices and so, in the end, I am saving.

Just for info for anyone reading this later, CGR18650CH's can be nipple or flat top so don't assume they only come with flat tops.

If you have a v2 there's always the double extension

Thanks ckc. To be honest, having experienced the joys of vary wattage with the Zmax and the Vamo, I will wait until Provari catches up with the rest o the world and bring out a VW PV.

Good as Provari are, if I am spending that kind of money, I expect something a bit more modern.

I inserted my thing with a nipple, it seemed to like it

My provari is up and running. Cheers everyone.

Mev I didn't know these CGR18650CH could have a nipple, that's where the confusion is then. D'oh. You live and learn.

<<< I inserted my thing with a nipple, it seemed to like it >>>

I just had to double check which Forum I was on when I read this!!!!

I do like a happy ending, especially one that makes me
