I've been vaping for about five years, after 15 years of analogs. I started with the generic cigarette style cartridge based ones. Then I moved on to a Blu a few days later. Then I started doing research and moved on to Volcano devices and their juices exclusively until Christmas of this year. I did a ton of research, a lot of it here on this forum, and opened my Provari P3 and a P3 nautilus on Christmas, along with a slew of ECBlend's 5ml juices.
The difference is insane. The flavor, the consistency in hit, the vapor production and 'feel' of the premium device. It has opened my eyes and I have a feeling this is about to become a consuming hobby rather than just a smoking replacement. Since I want to start my tenure here with something helpful along with my questions, i'll begin with a short review of the P3 with the P3 nautilus.
Provari P3 - Matte Black
Fit & Finish - 10/10
The finish is flawless, perfectly smooth, very fingerprint resistant. The screen is almost perfectly flush and the button is like magic. Compared to every other device i've used, the button is just amazing, no false clicks, no missed fires, just perfect.
Operation - 9/10
The menu system is great, though it takes a bit to get acquainted with. The button as I already mentioned works flawlessly. The only reason it is a 9/10 and not a 10/10 is the fact that I would have liked to see a toggle option to switch between a time based scroll and a click based scroll rather than the current mixed implementations.
Vape Quality - 10/10
From the first hit to the dead battery notification, it seems like the hit is identical. The boost feature is very underrated, I saw suprisingly little about it when researching and I think it is one of the most stand out features of the device. No more chain puffing to get to the good hit, set the boost and the coil is perfect, I just had to get into the habit of keeping the button held during the hit rather than on/off as I drew.
P3 Nautilus
Fit & Finish - 9/10
The tank looks great, everything fits nearly perfectly. I don't like however that the very top section of metal is separated rather than a single piece as the slight gap tends to grab small fibers, etc. that get stuck and have to be fiddled out.
Operation - 8/10
8 out of 10 times, it works great, good hit, clean flavor, great air flow. However, it has a tendency to flood if everything isn't perfect. I consistently have to specifically change the way I hold the device, or burn it upside down to stave off a big flood into the coil. But for a simple carry device, it works better than any other tank i've used.
Note: The P3 connect is awesome, feels amazingly solid and looks like it is built into the P3.
Vape Quality - 10/10
When it works perfectly, the vape is amazing. Great vapor production and clean flavors.
Now for the questions. I just ordered a Kayfun V4 Fasttech Clone with the authentic parts kit for the V4 so that I have the original spring and seals. I've never attempted anything even close to this advanced, if it didn't just plug in and vape I didn't use it.

- What kind of quality can I expect with the Fasttech V4 with the authentic replacement parts installed?
- Will it be on par with the Provari's quality, or will I need to get an authentic Kayfun eventually?
- Is the provari enough device for the Kayfun? I've read about the 30-50-100+ watt devices being needed for the rebuildables to be awesome.
- How low can I go with the Provari+Kayfun on the ohms? I have great batteries, so the amps aren't an issue.
