I belong to two subforums (ProVape and HHV) and hit the kayfun threads too. That's enough drama for me. Though I will say there is very little drama on the HHV subforum. Never has. Maybe the nature of juice chat is different than gear chat. Seems with gear there are some who think if you don't like what they like you are somehow not worthy of living. :)

Yeah. Juice threads never blow up.

:facepalm:

I rarely notice what thread I'm on anymore. The whole thing is ridiculous. There should be ONE thread...full of FAQs, chat, or anything else. End of problem. :)
I love the saloon. I never post but I go in there 4 or 5 times a day to laugh at the vids/pics.

I see you got the p3 top on the mini! I sent them an email to see if they could do it, but didn't get a reply till Monday and wanted to take advantage of the valentine sale... so I ordered one of these instead. Still might grab a gmz mini, too good of a price, looks good man!

Yep! I think the new price of it is lower than the sale price anyway. Take a look at the sales page. All the 2.5's are very low $. I forget if the mini was there or not.

I might buy another for family/etc at the price they're at!

And if I were to take a guess at the next offering from ProVape, it could be one of several things....

-Higher watt tube mod
-Shorter Radius 18490 (but as others pointed out, this likely isn't necessary)
-Titanium Radius
-19mm tube?
-Shorter Provari Tube. When I say shorter, I mean the space the circuits/etc take up at the top. Definitely room to shrink that down. Esp after seeing how thrifty the Dicodes mod I got is with space for the electrics.

So the shorter tube/Provari is something I'd like to see. Think about the business genius it would be. They're selling off all the 2.5's and we're sucking them up.

Then they roll out a new P4 that's as shirt as a mini in 18490 mode and 18650 mode we could essentially be as short as the current 18490 mode. I think that is a very likely direction they'll go. This could also allow higher watts by maybe getting rid of the 1835) option also? Maybe 30 watts AND shorter? :)

Maybe they couldn't knock quite as much off the height as I stated, but I think knocking some off is absolutely possible. I do think the that's the only direction the tube line can go, besides a different "design" of the machining - right?

Thoughts?

Sorry no one replied to you. Here are my thoughts:
  • Higher watt tube mod -Maybe, but likely only if'n it's 18650 mode only
  • Shorter Radius 18490 (but as others pointed out, this likely isn't necessary) - Prolly not - Not really sure what it would accomplish?
  • Titanium Radius - We've discussed how this prolly won't offer the weight savings people think it might, so I chalk this up to a maybe
  • 19mm tube? - Only if'n more atty manufacturers come out with 19mm tops. The KV3 is getting good reviews, but why build a smaller tube just for this one?
Surely they're working on new (we'll have to get one) devices. It will certainly be most interesting when they do!

Svoemesto is a powerful force in vaping and typically on the leading edge of change. They may represent only one 19mm atomizer (actually, there are more than one), but they have the gravitas to move a market. I always felt smaller profiles would make a comeback. I would not be surprised if we see a resurgence of smaller mods. When...who knows.

I knew if'n I held onto these from the 70s, they'd come back in style!

Guys for the extension cap in the below modes. Which position should be correct?

18490
a)View attachment 532580
b)View attachment 532581

18650
a)View attachment 532582
b)View attachment 532587

I've always believed there is no right or wrong answer to this question. They really won't operate differently either way, so I'd go with what looks best to your eyes.

As a reference I have run P3 in 18490 mode like this since day 1, which is now a year and a half ago.......

When we first saw box mods (REO, Hana, a couple others) they were big honkin' things. Now with a zillion box mods these days, many are smaller. The KM3 looks a whole lot better on it IMO. Smaller is coming at some point.

That's OK. And I have no probs with that. But I'm not a going out and buy a new army of 19mm tops. No I'm not......
