    Well, I'm still playing with my P3. Went through 2 ml of juice at 1.6Ω/10.0W/4.0V/2B and took the 1600 mAH 18650 down to 53%. Workin' on seeing where it falls at the end of 4 ml. Edit FWIW, it's about 58 ring gauge. With a 45 mm atty/tank and 15 mm drip tip, right at 7-1/8"… an 1/8" over...

    I'm right handed, but vape left-handed most of the time while mousing, shifting, etc. Why should I have to select left hand/right hand from a menu? In this day and age the ProVari should detect which hand it's in and automatically orient the display. Whine… whine… whine… :D

    I think it was ProVape who said the P3 is like an automatic transmission. If the atty resistance changes, VW adjusts for that. I'll note it also has Paddle Shifters Variable Voltage if you want to shift adjust it yourself. :D

    Well, the 1.8Ω Empire Mods bridgeless atty lasted a few hours shy of a week. That's pretty good considering half that use was a dirty NET (Apache). The P3 has been an excellent power supply for dripping. The P3 is now supporting one of my Sophias in a 19mm x 45mm IBTanked stainless cap setup...

    I like it--like a fat cigar or a wide-bowled pipe. :D

    I gotcha. I guess I've unconsciously developed the habit of pressing the button a half second before I vape… always had vapor on the first puff. No wonder boost is shoving vapor into my mouth. Edit: Yeah… I think it must be the sizzle that triggers me to inhale.

    I've never used primer puffs… except on the auto-battery 510 I built for my wife. But then I don't vape into my lungs either (pipe/cigar smoker). :confused:

    Is this your new 2000 mAH AW IMR 18650?

    ProVape claims resistance higher than 2.1Ω will give the warning, but still provide reduced boost. I have some LR (2.0Ω spec) Boge or IkenVape cartos that measure at 2.2Ω and they do error warn. I can't tell if there's any boost or not.

    Guess I'm gonna have to see about gold-plating my spring locally. ;)

    Data Point: At 5% battery and Boost Off, it would fire at 18.2W, 4.7V into a 1.2Ω load and 4.8V into a 1.3Ω load... but not higher. IQ 95 FWIW I was wondering if it could still hit 20 watts if almost dead. The answer is no. But on the other hand, cranking it up to these high watts didn't...

    Not if they offer them in titanium. :D

    Earlier this week I was kindly told how “old school” my new P3 is, LOL. Maybe dripping the bridgeless atty on it had something to do with that.

    I've run a few 18650s to zero/shut down now. Only once did I see the flashing button at 1% or so because it's on the far side and I'm literally never looking at the button. FWIW, Bronze is measuring 3.3V on an empty 1100 mAH 18490 and I'm measuring 3.1V on an empty 1600 mAH 18650.

    I assume you mean higher than an 18650. In my case, the 1100 mAH AW IMR 18490s have a significantly lower IQ than my 1600 mAH AW IMR 18650s. But the 490s have more cycles and the 1600 mAH has a much higher amp rating than the typical 2000 mAH AW IMR 18650s.

    Congrats on the incoming P3. Yes, indeed, buy a gas station cigalike or two if you have to. But DON'T break your no smoking streak.

    Crap... I forgot to check IQ when empty. Oh well... next time.

    "Empty" battery reads 3.1V ...which explains why 50% read 3.65V edit: AW IMR 1600 mAH 18650

    I always buy batteries in threes... one to vape while the one I just finished is charging with the one I forgot to recharge. IOW, backup for my backup.
