I'm not a collector.

I prefer that the chip is in a carrier with the P3 as opposed to glued in the 2.5.

I use tube mods in 350 configuration exclusively when out and about.

I have Two Ti Minis already.

I'd like to support sales of the P3 Ti.

They will stop making it if nobody buys it.

Wow, jwb..... for a split second there, I almost thought I'd go buy a P3! You make some good arguments for it.

The boost feature alone makes it worth buying a P3...especially when you have people selling used ones for $125. :)

I forgot to add the boost feature to the price. You are right about the boost, but I still have the TI with boost.

There is one more P3 that I will get, the Ti version. For me the features that make it worth it are, IQ to check my batteries, flat top compatible which insures availability of batteries that will power it in the future without doing some type of modification, the fixed board, and it's Titanium :D

So, Ti lovers, compare and contrast for me. Don't have a Ti, but the weight factor is very appealing. OTH, I was wondering if it gets top heavy in itty bitty size mode ...

Another question. Is there any reason a Radius would hold a charge longer than a P3, assuming exactly the same settings?

The only thing I can think that would make that possible is if the negative contact with the Radius is more conductive than the spring in the end cap of the P3. Energy lost due to any resistance would decrease battery life as it would be wasted energy. How much that adds up to over the life of the charge??? Maybe Provape knows.

I would agree with this. The Radius does use a totally different path from the battery and does not require a spring to make the connection. It is why Provape felt the Radius did not need IQ and is likely a more efficient way to get power to the coil.

Well, it does use a spring, but the genius is that they placed the spring outside of the pathway. In my mind, I keep thinking of the Radius as "The Box, That thinks outside of the Box!".

Exactly. The spring is there to put the right amount of pressure on the battery connection. But it is not part of the electrical pathway and that's pure genius.

I just got some extra P3 springs. This is interesting to me, @ENAUD. Where'd they put the spring in the Radius???
Oh my, I don't have one, and would need to dig through Vape360's posts to find that pic...

I don't know if this will work, but if the link does, go to about 3 minutes 40 seconds and you'll see the bottom plate being removed and where the springs (I think there are two actually) are located:

Don't do it Kat. You'll turn into a pumpkin. ;)


Too late, Pinglet.

The P3 Ti is one of Provape's best Titanium devices :D.

Just like I tell my daughter she is my favorite daughter (and only with 4 brothers).

I 'hate' you guys. :D

I love my Ti 2 and half Mini. Have I mentioned I love the Ti? ;)

My own personal jury is out on the Radi at this point in time. I never ever craved the P3, as you guys know, but...



There are some valid and promising and tempting points to one......


DAMMIT YOUS!
