Well 24 hours with this P3, and I wanted to share my thoughts with this device so far. I will go ahead and declare myself a Provari fan boy, and I have been so since the 2 V1’s that I currently own. One V1 I have, has had the snot beat out off it, and If you care to see the abuse I have put this thing through look on Provari’s website. There is a review I did on ECF that they asked if they could put on there website years ago, and I gladly said yes. The review is under the name KY.Hick. The abuse I described in my review was years ago, and has still been going on. So I guess it’s time for the dirty work, and please forgive my spelling, and grammar cause I have had a few beer’s this Friday night!
Build: The quality is what any Provape owner already knows. Very nice high quality. (ain’t broke don’t fix it)
Top Cap: Is what we ALL have been asking for a flat top. The positive post has some spring to it, and if the device you screw on top of it does not sit totally flush you can twist the outer ring up a tad and give the 510 some support in the case of a accidental knock over. I would hate to count how many carto’s I have snapped off over the years. I totally love the inside thread pattern that will lend itself to future devices that can screw on and leave the whole 510 small diameter weakness in the history page’s. I would love to see some kind of standard for this that will be made by everybody in the industry. Mr.Morgan from Zenesis with his introduction of the Z2 thread pattern has had probably the best idea in a long time. I really wish Provape (and the industry) would have used the same thread pattern also. We need some kind of standard, I would hate to go way back to the the day’s of all the 01’s and 510 connections.
Button: It’s the button we all know and love! If ain’t broke don’t fix it. (more on the button when menu come’s up)
Extra ring’s: THANK YOU! Provape for including them, it is very nice to be able to purchase one PV and be able to choose between all 3 battery sizes and not have to buy a mini model, or a extra ring to make the reg model longer. Two thumbs up on that one!!
So let me crack open another beer and get down to the nitty gritty! BRB
I have converted a lot of people to e-cig’s over the years, and 14 of them have gone Provari. Only one of them went straight to it, because of price. I can totally understand that, hell I think we all can. I did all of this when I did electric work, and not part time in a e-cig shop. A lot of these guy’s would see me puffing on a ecig and ask a lot of ?’s. The nature of the work does not do well with wimpy devices, and the 13 people that did not go provari learned there lesson the hard way, and the 1 guy did not. Hard work needs a PV that will take a beating, and Provari’s can take it. Ok ok I am rambling.
Menu: I am really really on the fence with this! The one thing I loved the most with a Provari is you could put it in anybody’s hand and within a small amount of time anybody could figure out a APV. Now we have a menu with a lot more features. I am ex-army, and sometimes simple is better for the masses. Is the menu hard to learn NO! Is there more to learn YES! Now this is where I am gunna get slammed by viewers on ECF!! We all love the one button function of a Provari, but now I am wondering if the menu would be better suited to a extra button or two. There is a lot of stuff to set now, and there are a lot of people in the world that avoid buying a new tv, or phone because they don’t want to have learn how to work it. Is the menu hard to work, NOT REALLY, would I put it in the hands of a non-tech loving person, I am just not sure yet. Provari in MY mind has always had MY respect as a company that can put a APV in anybody’s hand, and it work. Almost everybody that’s going to read this might say I am wrong, but I have to say we have a lot of 50+ year olds coming into my shop daily. Is this going to be to much to give them? I really hope Provape keep’s the V2.5 on the market for this case.
Screen: It’s kinda small for everything going on. If you enlarge it a tiny bit without enlarging the unit as a whole I think that would be nice. Resolution, well let me say this, I have always had 20/20 vision. The last couple of years have I have noticed that when I rebuild a RTA or rda or anything else with small parts I need me some reading glasses. Can I read the screen HELL YES!!!! It’s not that BAD, but if you have real glasses you might need to wear them.
Functions: Most of these don’t need to be explained, they are what they are. Color, brightness, etc…
Boost mode: I am a kayfun fan seem’s to help for short drag’s.
So what do I like the most with the new model? Flat top, and boost mode for short drag’s, I am not a short drag guy, but for a quicky it seem’s to help. THE FLAT TOP AND MORE POWER IS WHAT A LOT OF US HAVE WANTED FOR ALONG TIME!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Being able to change button colors is deff going to appeal to some people. Being able to save settings for certain things will deff appeal to some people. To ME the most important thing is I have a APV that can handle the new stuff on the market, that can give me the POWER, and can do this in a SAFE MANNER!!!
When I first saw the the spec’s on the P3 I was kinda disappointed with the 20w limit,and I still would like to see it up 30w for dripping .But hey that’s there call as being safe. Now that I have been working in this market for a while I gotta say where do we draw a line. I see all this new stuff coming out and I just gotta shake my head. We as vapers need to take a stand, and manufacturers like Provape need to stand there ground and keep making this safe. I talk to all these new people that want these crazy builds, I try to talk to them as a re-tired electrician and they look at me like I am stupid, and I just don’t get it. I might be old, and remember when a ego batt was OMG, and remember when a 1.5 ohm carto was OMG low. I will say this once again like my review on your website Provape SALUTE WHAT YOU DO PROVAPE you made another quality device. I did have a knock or two at it, but hey what would a honest review be if not. VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
