    3ml is pretty standard these days. I typically get the higher capacity tank if they offer one as an accessory. But, compared with a dripper that has basically no capacity, it's fine for a session or two. Plus, filling it is so easy - top fill, nothing to unscrew, just pop off the top, and...

    So, I've been struggling with matching the perfect tank to the Procyon. It needs something that can take advantage of the high wattage the Procyon is capable of, not be obnoxiously tall (as the Procyon/P3 in 18650 mode is tall enough), has the ability to be rebuildable, is relatively easy to...

    The Kanger Subtanks can short out if you tighten them down too much - happened to me a few times. Considering the Subtank has 0.5 ohm coils which usually read 0.58 or so, and the Procyon can handle a 0.4 ohm load at 50W and still be under the voltage and amp limits, it's probably shorting.

    Leading zeros are unnecessary, and trailing zeros after a decimal point, while "significant", are irrelevant since we're dealing with whole people here.

    1216 - not very good.

    Just worked out some math on builds for the Procyon that will achieve 50W, given an 11.5A limit, and max voltage of 6V. 0.40 ohms minimum = 4.47V, 11.18A, 50W (resistance minimum limitation) 0.72 ohms maximum = 6.00V, 8.33A, 50W (voltage maximum limitation) So there you have it. Any build...

    Hope you're holding the stealth in that situation....

    Vape360 already stated that ProVape is working on a 9x 18650 tube mod. Just think of the marketing possibilities? Use it as a walking cane, self defense, change the channel on the TV when you can't find the remote...

    Interesting. Well, we shall see I suppose. I'd been itching to go back to a tube mod after using my SXmini and Radius all the time, and then I got the Procyon email - perfect timing. There aren't a lot of high-power tube mods out there, so perhaps the Procyon will do better than expected in...

    No, but someone offering a suggestion is much more likely to be heard than everyone else who just complains. Who knows, you might just come up with something clever they'd never thought of before, and suddenly the next firmware update contains your suggestion. That went away with multi-level...

    Something I always tell my employees - don't come to me with a complaint unless you have a solution to suggest along with it. So, how would you propose a single-button menu system to work? User error. Smart user learns to not check his watch while in the menu. Problem solved. The Radius...

    Your local vape shop has a hardware box for a programmer, which interfaces between a PC and the P3. To update the Radius, you had to install the USB driver. There is no driver for a direct programmer, thus the need for the programmer box. Look up JTAG if you're curious. I haven't taken a P3...

    It's a lot more complex than that. You'd have to decompile the firmware, change the right values, recalculate checksums, recomplile firmware, and ProVape likely has other checks in place that would disallow the firmware to be flashed if it wasn't authentic. Just a guess. That, and the Radius...

    Just got home from work. Initial Procyon report. Take a look at that top cap between the body and beauty ring of your P3, and that's how much taller the Procyon is than the P3 in 18650 mode. The button and screen are likewise offset by that same tiny amount. The button is opaque as with any...

    My Mac at work is stuck at 10.10.5 for the time being, due to lack of SAN drivers for 10.11, but I use a PC at home most of the time anyway. HDD crashed in my Mac mini, and SSD waiting to go inside someday soon. So, when's the Linux version due out? ;)

    Mine arrived today as well. I just have to wait 'till I get home from work tonight to play with it. :(

    As much as many would like to see a dual battery mod from ProVape, I would be surprised if they made one due to safety issues. It's hard enough to get people to buy the right batteries, let alone teach them about married pairs, etc. IMHO, a dual battery mod from ProVape will only come when they...

    That was SO last year, along with "hoverboards".
