    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

    I went through 2,000 - 2,200 mAH yesterday. For some reason, I subconsciously vape literally twice as much at 1.8-2.0Ω as I do at 0.8Ω (mechs). That seems true for the P3 at the higher resistance/lower power.

    Robin, I don't know how frequently you vape, but at the low, 6.2W you use, an 800 mAH 18350 may last you all day.

    RTD usually isn't out of stock long. Hang in there. With a 20A rating, the 2200 should have a lower impedance than the older 10A 2000 mAH I use.

    No-Ox Info They make a point of noting they don't use metals in it, such as zinc (like No-A-Lox). Like Bronze, I don't use anything on my mod threads, especially the ones that get used frequently like end caps. OTOH, If I was staying at one battery size, I might use something on the extension...

    Version 37 will come out in two releases: 37V for vaper and 37G for geek. IQ only in the latter.

    I think 360 is letting us try to figure this all out by ourselves before weighing in. :)

    I didn't mean 0 volts… I meant the mod's "0".

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

    Let me add this… batteries that have been used in a mech, even at 0.5Ω, have been relatively babied. As voltage went down, so did current drawn. Batteries that have been used in a regulated mod have been absolutely brutalized--the weaker the battery, the harder it's worked, especially if it's...

    Yep. If I hadn't had these three almost new 18650s, I'd have bought three new AW IMR 2200's for the P3. I still may get some new 18350s from RTD.

    Possibly twice as much contact area. (increases by the square of the radius/diameter increase of the flat area)

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

    I don't know if the P2's just measured (and based cut-off) on just battery voltage. From what I'm reading in the manual, the P3 is much more complicated than that. It states remaining battery life will change with power setting (and I suspect IQ as well). IQ was implemented because of the amp...

    Looks like a much flatter contact area on the new ones, at least to me.

    The 96 I'm reporting is with three one-year-old AW IMR 1600 aAH 18650s that each have maybe 10-12 charge cycles (from 50%) on them. I'm only getting 80 with three 16 month old AW IMR 2000 mAH (10A) 18650s that each have well more than 100 charge cycles (from 50%) on them. I'm getting...

    I use your mineral oil on my straight razors, so I've got a bottle of that. :D Maybe I'll get 97. Edit: just bought some gold-plated contacts to upgrade my older REOs. Still waiting for that gold-plated spring from ProVape.

    Just for fun, I wiped the threads with a Tuf Cloth, a non-oil protector I use on my carbon steel blades (not the ones for food). IQ dropped from 96 to 95.

    My IQ is still at 96… IIRC, it doesn't drop as I vape. When I put the tubes and end cap on, I pull them away from the mod just a little and I screw them back and forth a few degrees each way to clean the threads before I screw them home tight.

    I bought a few when I got my REOs to keep in the vehicles as backup in case my RM2 coil failed. I just opened one and it's bridged, not bridgeless like the ones I buy from Empire Mods.

    I never asked, but that would be my assumption too.
