I absolutely, positively LOVE my 20 watt Military Ti P3! I can't believe how light that thing is. When using a Ti Kabuki, it's like holding air! When using a Gun Metal Kabuki w/Gunmetal tank, it'll be invisible! Given how much it cost, I plan on getting the most out of the warranty by using it exclusively for the next year and beating the crap out of it. Won't be hard to remember anniversary date as it arrived on the very same exact day I turned 50.

Out of curiosity and conversation, how many of you with a solid black button turn off the LED or don't even bother? Possibly squeeze a couple of puffs more of battery life by turning it off?
Talk to me. :vapor:
I turned mine off - I couldn't see it anyway.

Ever since the Ti Kabuki was released, this setup (but not military ) has been my standby for on-the-go vaping. I sort of took it to the extreme and use 18350 batteries for maximum weight savings. The power lasts long enough for even a long series of errands - I haven't had a 18650 in my P3 since then. It's a great package unmatched by any other mods/tanks I'm aware of.

I did the same thing on my V2.5 stealth, I figured why power the LED when you can't see it anyways...

The titanium thing is pretty cool, isn't it? Big difference, my arm isn't sore from curling a 18650 P3 all day. lol Besides, now I can brag my vaporizer and hips are made of the same material.

Small world. My vaporizer/tank are made out of the same thing as my Zippo (retired), watch (when I still wore one) and shoulder (from a crotch rocket accident). I've been a sucker for titanium ever since I picked up the first piece I had access to. And that subtle matte grey look isn't matched by very many things

Just purchased the P3 with Nautilus X tank. The provari is really well made and terribly consistent. Unfortunately, I went through the usual assortment of joyetech 510 devices over 5+ years before I got here.

I am very pleased with this device, although I am not sure what tank would be best for me. I want a tank that will match and something I can put in my suit pocket and not worry about. The nautilus seems ok - but it feels kind of cheap matching up with the P3.

I really never understood how important the power source is until I got this piece. I purchased a blemished Celtic and for the life of me can not figure out where the blemish is, so that seems like a good sign in terms of quality control.

Congrats!!!

While the Naughty X is a good tank. Most would prolly steer you to a Kabuki.

Bottom Line is though, What kind of Vape you like.

In the last month or so, I've bought two P3s off the blems page, a satin Celtic and a GMZ. The Celtic is at V41, and the GMZ is at V40.

I can reproduce the V40 problem and overcome it by setting the Speed to 3, allowing Manual to get to the "hidden" pages (IQ etc.)

My question is: is this solution adequate for the future, or should I send it in for the upgrade to V41?

I'd open a ticket, and send it in.
