Batteries for a provari

[whistler]

Ok so I (finally) caved in and got hold of a provari. Now I am wondering which batteries most of you guys use in yours. I have currently got a senybor 3100 mah in there. Although the fit is a bit too snug for my liking. I am looking for suggestions for good, provari friendly 18500/18490 and 18650.



Cheers guys

Provape only recommend AW batteries otherwise they will not honour the warranty

[whistler]

It is a second hand provari so I doubt there is any warranty left.

OK. I use Efest batteries in mine which are the same 'innards' as AW but sell a little cheaper

[whistler]

So glad you said that lol

[blakey]

Effest here too, AWs when I want a slightly smaller battery

Yep, I use Effests and AWs and find no difference in performance between them

I might be wrong, but I don't think they are the same inside as each other, or rather they are, but I was under the impression that AW's were generally a better quality. Or at least the QC was better.
I might be wrong....

Same underlying battery, different jacket..I use 18500 efest IMR in my Smart Drawtube and can easily go a day and a bit.

I know AW is one bloke and he takes (as far as I know) the best batteries from suppliers and brands them as his.
Not sure how Efest does it. But in a decent google search (not done just tonight) they aren't quite as good.
But they are cheaper.

I'm not sure this can ever be proved either way and it may have changed by the time this thread has finished

Lol very true womble. And at the end of the day, in answering the OP I guess we'd all agree that AW or Efest will be fine in his Provari

Normally AW's for me . . . although I do also use Efests occasionally Whistler.

I just want decent quality at a decent price. Thinking out loud here, the batteries torchy sells on eBay, senybors etc, as long as I don't go too big they should be ok right?

The Senybors I have are very good, bought from Torch, but they are protected! You need high drain unprotected batteries in an electronic mod hence AWs and Efests

And pipped/nippled ends  . . . otherwise the Provari won't work with flat top batteries.

AW's or Efests really are the way to go.
