CASEACE79 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Anyone know of a retail location that sells 18490 or 18500 batteries? I ordered my provari with the 18650 batts and forgot the extender cap so now I finally have my provari and I can't use it. Already tried radio shack and walmart. So pissed!!

juliery Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I just googled that, which you should do using your city and state, and here Batteries Plus carries them. SO if you have a similar type chain, they probably sell them too. I just put in "retail store 18490 or 18500 batteries (my city state)"
DAYVAPE Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I have a feeling you will need to purchase online... I've never found them anywhere else at least.
DevilDucky Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Do you have anyplace like fry's electronics near you?
CASEACE79 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Nope Devil. Never even heard of them. The closest Batteries plus is 3 hrs away. I'm debating it.
Sharon Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Try "Battery Warehouse". There maybe one in your area. Best of luck!
juliery Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Don't know where in DE you are but in Dover there is a place called Battery Warehouse, could try there.....324 Martin Street, Dover, DE (302) 674-4020.....if they don't sell them or aren't near you they may be able to suggest a place. Here Batteries Plus has them, but it appears that chain is not in DE. Also, apparently those batteries are used in flashlights, so perhaps that could supply leads? Like maybe a place like Sportmart or ****'s Sporting Goods, etc would be worth checking?
CASEACE79 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 TY juliery but they had no idea what I was talking about. For a place called battery warehouse they didn't know much about batteries.
DevilDucky Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah unfortunately the only state in the east fry's has made it to is Georgia. I hope you can track some down soon I know how much you were looking forward to your ProVari.
juliery Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 TY juliery but they had no idea what I was talking about. For a place called battery warehouse they didn't know much about batteries. THAT figures.....I would just keep calling around....what about Radio Shack or a place like that??? Although we have run into TOTAL idiots at that store. It is amazing to me how little they know about their own merchandise and how employees REFUSE to ask another employee who knows more. Customer service REALLY stinks sometimes!! I hope you are able to find someplace to get a stupid battery....really ridiculous. Try a high end sporting goods place too, in case they have them for flashlights or some other equipment.
Dose Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) My only advice would be google. It also depends on the size of the town you live in.Wish i could be of more help. I'm really surprised radio shack didn't have them EDIT: You might also try sporting goods places. most sell the flashlights that those batteries where made for in the first place.

CASEACE79 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Well I rigged it so that I could vape it today. I used a thin piece of metal to bridge the gap between the cap and the tube then taped the hell out of it. It'll hold till I get the extender cap. At least I got to use it today.
TroopX Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Bummer Case! ...So was this your first 'mod'. lol
DevilDucky Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Glad you at least rigged it to work some how. I was bumming for you earlier.
thorne Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Heyas man I thought you had that thing rigged to roll??? The duct tape not workin? Edit: Oh, nvm... I didn't see the time. Congrats.^^ Edited February 1, 2011 by thorne
CASEACE79 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Ken sent out a extended cap for the 18650's today. If it takes as long as my provari did it should be here in about 6 days.
