Just a short one on the P3 retail. I saw on at the B/M today. It was $270 and to be honest it looked like a mech. I think Todd has it right. For the fans it'll be great and may get a few more followers. But I tend to think for the price point the SVD 2.0 could give it a run for it's money. Time will tell.
I got the Mutation set up at .5 with 6 wraps. Taking longer to heat so I may drop it back to .3. Or just try a completely different build. That's the way it works. Different topper means finding the right build. 
I don't know what the new SVD and the new Provari are like obviously. But I do have the current SVD and the current Provari and IMO they are in two different leagues in terms of quality. Not only in reality but in feel as well. The Provari is just a better mod. But then it ought to be when it costs 4 or 5 times more. I think ProVapes competition is going to be the numerous dna mods out there. I agree with Todd, $270 is too expensive. It's not clear to me if that is the retail store price or the online ProVape price. $270 is too high IMO. I'd really like to experience that boost option. To me that is big (if it works and all accounts I've seen says it does). But again...$270. Kind of turns me off. If that's the case I might be more inclined to get a Vaporshark or similar. Gotta see how it shakes out. And that polished look doesn't do the P3 any favors. Looks like a cheap Lavatube. I have to believe they'll have other finishes. I like the one they have now.

And I gotta say, that dwell time really bugs the hell out of me. Lowering the resistance and/or jacking up the power doesn't add to the experience. I must really be a snob because I just don't like the heat up time. That's what intrigues me about that P3 boost option. I'm using a 28 ga coil on one of my KFLs and I can mess with the resistance and power settings all I want but in the end I prefer 30 gauge because it's just more responsive without having to jack up the heat. I'm just not a warm vape person. More heat always translates to less flavor to me. Just how my physiology works.
"Oh crap!" was all I could type around here.
I would get banned if I answered that question honestly. I'm an old salt and these things happened within earshot of other old salts. Some of them winced, but they all understood me perfectly. Although I think I saw some innocent tourists shrivel beneath their sunburns.
Once the air clears from the foul speech, my second thought is usually along the lines of "I'm sure glad I have backups to the backups with me."
Besides, the IBTanked replacement for ErlK is only $8 shipped. Got away with that one.
The one at the B/M was polished like Todd has and the price was $270. They told at one time they only make $10 on the Provari. Don't know if that's true. But if it is it would explain why they don't carry very many.
That's why I used 30 gauge also and why I use .6 ribbon instead of .8. I don't like long heat up time either. I'm going to try a different build or two in it tomorrow.
I wonder how much cheaper the P3 will be once it's gone to online sales , Provape has to realise they have stiff competition from DNA devices coming out .
The SVD 2 has finally reached the States .

If you mean the AFC screw, yes I did take that out. I get about the same amount of air flow as I did before I started drilling - maybe just a tiny bit more since the intake hole is not completely blocked.
Thanks for asking, David.
been reading the threads and it seems everyone is going subohm duals and chasin clouds.... well almost everyone.... there is one exception
I've been playing around with subohms for a bit now, but the jury is still out as to how much I'll be doing. I'm not into chasing clouds either. The vapor I get now is dense & satisfying and a hell of a lot better than smoking ever was. That's all that matters to me.
And I'm so gentle with my gear. Er, wait a minute . . .
- Dibi Sumpin' broken (glued back together)
- EA lost on boat (recovered)
- Vamo overboard
- Erlkönigin plastic tank smashed
- R91 plastic tank broken
- Cyclone threads munged (repaired)
I guess that's not such a great track record.
Heh. I can't believe I forgot to include the scariest mishap. The day the fan hit Sumpin'
The Dibi Sumpin' came out victorious in that battle, though. Not a scratch or ding added to the finish or the atty on top.
I think I just felt another spasm.
Me too.. I haven't picked up that monster cloud maker since the evening I made the video. I just can't see myself using that rig all the time. Having to keep dripping juice ever 3 hits or so.. not for me!
That's why we have bottom feeders
I run a range from 0.25 to 1.8Ω these days. Not cloud chasing, but finding what works best for me in my setups - mechanicals and regulateds. I do like my varieties. This seems to extend to flavors as well. And whiskey. Canadian, Irish, Scots, American. All good

Agreed, bottom feeders could be a solution, but again.. at the rate that the parallel was going through juice, I'd have to top up that bottle 4 or 5 times a day.. and I really don't think I want to go through 20 - 30ml a day.
Agree...the DNAs will take from ProVape more than anything else.
Yeahhh they're targeting the same customers? But I don't think I've even considered the pv3. Dna40 on the other hand... I'm budgeting to buy asap.
