    I have an 18-month old 0.5Ω coil of 26AWG Nichrome and the 0.8Ω 27AWG Kanthal coil lasted me 15 months. But i do like to change the cotton wick out periodically. :D

    I noticed Todd carefully said you're getting the Kayfun vape. I don't think he said the KF4 is a better vape than the KFL. OTOH, he didn't say it's no better than a KFL either, but that's what I get from reading between the lines. You are getting the ability to refill while still on the mod and...

    Especially for the price and hugeness. The ByLeo.eu Sophia in a polished stainless end-capped IBTanked is still my end game for the P3.

    Me, too. :D Seriously, Bronze, I, and others don't use any grease, etc on threads. I'm running 95-96 IQ with good batteries.

    I follow a simple rule that may help you. Never, EVER, leave the house without a fully charged battery and full juice--it takes me less than 60 seconds. That 25 mile trip can turn into several hours in the event of a traffic problem. I also keep in each vehicle, a disposable atty and a 510 carto...

    Here's a thought… in the sequence of values displayed by A up or A down, after the one with Battery Percentage, a new one could be added showing raw battery resting voltage. The word "Battery" need not change, just what's above it. This would preclude having to change the main display and would...

    Like the bang you hear before the air bags deploy. LOL

    Since I retired the eVic after getting the P3, it's still my only regulated PV. I can tell when my mechs get to about 50% and swap batteries then. I've also developed the habit of swapping batteries any time I refill juice. I've carried both habits over to the P3, although I have run the...

    I discovered that sometimes after swapping batteries, my IQ would be low and simply rescrewing the tubes and end cap raised it. When I analyzed what I was doing, it became clear. If I was pushing as I screwed the tube or cap on, it would tighten but then would loosen up VERY slightly when the...

    I humbly stand corrected. I've seen that before and didn't look up what it was. Thanks!

    This is a useful data point. Thanks! From what I've read from ProVape, Input Quality doesn't reflect output such as the atty connection. It's good to know your experience with this.

    That only works on the 2.5. There is no low fuel indicator on a P3… when the light blinks, you're stalled--no opportunity to refuel prior to that.

    Like the fuel gauge in your car. Is it linear? Don't count on it. Is it accurate? Only roughly so. That's like saying drive it 'til it stalls before refueling. As with the vehicle's low-level fuel warning light, I think the ProVari 3 needs a slow blinking yellow light at about 10% charge and...

    Dropping a "fresh" battery reading to 60% with no more than an atty change isn't typical for the device. Is it possible that in your frustration you used a partially charged battery with that atty?

    Vape360 seems to think that's possible and offered you a new spring. That leads me to wonder if there were some early "big springs" with sub-spec compression or if there's enough variability in spring manufacturing to cause this.

    According to this poster, the answer appears to be for ProVape to change the display so he always see the battery voltage he's used to seeing with Cb, instead of battery charge percentage remaining, preferably with only one click and without having to toggle between two main screens--boost...
