The only truly plain finish is the polished. There is no coating whatsover there. It's also the most durable. You can just polish any scratches out, but it seems to scratch easier than the satin media blasting.
But oh boy do I hate the fingerprints! That's a deal breaker for me. I am sticking to the satin finishes, the titanium finishes and maybe the ceramic. I just got a ceramic Titanium White 2.5 a few weeks ago and it feels really great in the hand, but I know there's some questions about durability - time will tell.
And yes, the polycarbonate of the Radius is truly comfortable to hold as well, but it's still a box mod.

Glad you're happy, so I'm'a happy for you. Never did care much for volts, as watts is easier for my pea-sized brain to process. So, I don't miss them in the least on my Procyon or Radius.
Sir Rod,
Thank you for being happy for me! Be happy IT'S MY 3RD P3! LOL

The only ProVari I've traded away (as opposed to PIF's) was a Polished. I understand your point, but for someone like me polished SS is more of a "finish" than media blasted, since if it scratched I don't have the tools to buff it out, whereas the media blasted hardly shows any wear - it that makes sense. My 2.0 mini Satin Silver is 3.5 years old and doesn't have any noticeable dings, despite being dropped numerous times.

I got the Satin Silver AND GOOD THING I DID AS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN IT'S WARRANTY PERIOD MY BLACK P3 IS GOING BACK! No matter what I put on it, I get the "OP" error.

MAKE SURE WHEN YOU BUY A P3, YOU HAVE BACK-UP!

Using my spare P3 now.

Going to write ProVape now.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.... Deep breath... deep vapor inhale from Kabuki on spare P3....

Ok, I'll be ok...
I was getting output too high/low on my brand new P3 no matter what atty I put on it & I tried a combination of tanks & rda's. The one tank I hadn't thought about using (OBS Crius) is the one that's been working great going on a week or so now.

Hmm, something suspicious on that one. Appears to be a clone. Buyer beware.
They got a lot of FB likes.

EDIT~ They also have a physical B&M store. Can you tell us why them having a sale on the P3 is suspicious.

EDIT AGAIN~ They're also a forum supplier here on ECF. Don't know if they're still active tho.

I'm possibly jumping to conclusions so we will look into it more. Their price is below cost so unless they are getting rid of a few or it's a loss leader, the suspicious part was the price.

Someone already got one from them at that price, my guess is they are dumping them for whatever reason. Best guess is a closeout.

Oh! The possibly suspicious vendor carries the Janty MiD "One"! Does anyone remember it? The promo video had such happy theme music, upbeat, friendly, full of promise...

Now it's rather heartbreaking to watch, since it came out at the same time as the eVic and was crushed. It's little hopes and dreams shattered, the happy song never to be heard again.

It's a good price. Maybe we will buy them all :)
Well gee, thanks for scaring the Hell out of me! Before pulling the trigger on the purchase I looked them up on your website and they are listed in your Dealer Locator. In fact, they are listed as a Authorized Upgrade Center. I never would have went for it otherwise.

Vape360, I love you and ProVape but as far as EVERYONE ELSE...
Thank you for making me feel better! Jackie and I love all of you too!

I hope it's legit, and weather it is or not, I'll never buy outside of ProVape again! My heart can't take it! LOL

You have two other ones, so a stare and compare will put you at ease pretty quickly as no clones are perfect.

Deals can be had IME..... I bought a Classic for $100 and a P3 for $75 in the last few months. Now they were used (but mint) and I am 100% confident they are authentic.

Now that I think about it, I have never even seen a picture of a fake Provari, let alone seen one in the flesh!

Personally, I think they are just clearing out their inventory. If you notice they don't have any other ProVape products on their site. It might be that they aren't going to sell ProVape anymore.
