I would like TC because I drip, and when I get distracted and run my wick dry and then take that huge hit, and get pure burnt cotton.... I want to go to TC, as soon as I stop gagging and coughing. I know it's user error but that's me
I need an Off Switch
And aside from the bad hit, I go through wicks much more quickly when I get semi-dry hits- those hits that taste just a bit off that are scorching the wick.
Ergonomics... I have a Mini Provari P2.5 that I usually run with an 18350 and a regular Provari 2.5 that I run with an 18650. I never got into the idea of box mods because I thought a tube was the most comfortable fit in my had (and still more or less agree with that but wait...)
Then I got a Kanger Subox, which has an 18650 and is actually shorter than my P2.5 Mini running an 18350. Now, for a mod the height of a Mini, which would you prefer, 700 mAh or 2200 mAh????
And the thing about the Subox is that although it is technically a "box mod" it is truly a tube mod that was only slightly stretched to have an oval cross section, Say what you want about Kanger and made in China and how long it'll last... the design is not only brilliant but it is what every Provari Mini owner would probably like to have - a Mini with a full size 18650 and 2200 mAh.
That Subox retired my two Provaris to second string. As such, I know I have ultra-reliable backup. I will always keep them, but I will never buy another one, and certainly will not buy a P3 to get "almost there" where I want to be with my Subox, vaping conservative dual coil drippers at 0.7 - 1.0 ohms and Kanger Subtank Minis with the RBA deck at 0.5 Ohm (still on the stock RBA coil) or generally .7 ohm to 1.0 Ohm or so on the older RBA decks on my two other Subtanks (which are actually usually config'd to run on the Provari in single coil mode).
For me the Kanger Subtank, running around 25W, was a game changer. The flavor is absolutely magnificent, and better than my Troll RDA's for example, that I run dual coil. The canonical tank for a Provari 2.5 was the Aspire Nautilus. The Subtank Mini is a Nautilus killer, once you've used one the Nautilus will go in the retired drawer. But it really needs about 25W to fully develop. Maybe I'd be happy with a P3, at 20W or maybe not.
So I think Provari should look at the Subox design, and consider the value of a board parallel to the battery instead of on top, adding a couple inches of unnecessary space. The age of the regulated tube mod has passed.
