Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

[rhammer186]

Curiously, after all the talk about Provape throwing stuff into the box, my P3 Ti arrived in a little plastic envelope, with absolutely nothing but the P3. Not that I want the stickers or whatever, but perhaps I ...... them off somehow.
Same for the order before this one, which was springs and Kabuki tanks and a couple of Radius screws. Must be me.

I put in an order for a lot of accessories...2.5 end caps, hp end caps, beauty rings, P3 510 thread...etc, totaling over $130 but got no extra stuff either. Order came with whatever I paid for, no more and no less.

Same experience here, just get what I ordered in and envelope...I'm OK with that though.

Ok, I'll chime in. I got a couple of orders where the mail lady had to bring the box to the back door on a cart due to all the extra stuff but most of the orders, especially the last couple, have been only what I ordered. In fact, they stuff the extras (accessories I ordered) in the P3 box with the P3.

No one needs to feel chided. It's almost as if they put the daze orders in a hat and the winner gets extra's.

Nice catch, Moonwalker! Three things you can never have too much of, money, beer and ProVari parts.

First I was greedy. I took 2 springs for 2.5, 2 springs for P3, 2 more HP end caps, one more 510 thread, 4 more collectors end caps for 2.5 and P3, more beauty rings etc.

And then I tought about it - I had 2.5 for almost 5 years, never cleaned it (except 510 connector), never stretching spring and it worked great all the time with same spring. So HP end cap and springs which will come with end caps are more then enough.

And GMZ ring and black 510 connector are for GMZ Classic which is on it's way so I can make it more GMZ then it is.

I have only been using Provaris for a year, but with very heavy use, the spring in my Zombie P3 still looks new. Same with my first 2.5. All like new. Me thinks swapping them every year is a waste of a whole $0.95.

The caps were so cheap that I couldn't resist buying 10-12 just for down the road as I have 10 Provape tube mods. Same with $20 worth of springs. If they never get used, I won't be too worried. I've p!$$ed away a lot more $$$ on much worse things.

Having said that, the two HP caps seem to be nearly indestructible. I bet they could last for many years if not totally abused. I can't believe that I think a little cap is worth $15, but they absolutely are IMO. Really great product.

I'm a loser. Maybe I'll write a song about it.

Oooooooooo, love that song! Sing it, NY!

Serious P3 question here: this morning when I swapped cells in my P3 I got an error message, internal fault 8, send unit in for repair!

Then it scrolled through the menu a couple times, and has been working just fine since!?

Wondering if any others have ever seen this behavior from theirs?

 

[tearose50]

I had it, or something similar once. I may have simply pulled battery and reinserted -- sort of like a reboot. Haven't seen it since.

I should have asked for the atomizer resistance also.

My thoughts... Even though the cell could have been in perfect health, it may have shown an internal resistance (momentarily) that triggered the error.

Just my thoughts?

It's a 1.8 and a Kabuki, brand new coil, maybe it had something to do with that...the unit seems fine for now so I'll just put my mind at ease.

Thanks @tearose50, it'll probably be fine. It's not like I don't have spares

 

[AstroTurf]

While most of us prolly have spares to spare...

The thought of one of our Provis dying always leads to P a N i C ! ! !

LOLz, Jim

Good news...got a reply from ProVape that provided a link for software download with instructions. Got it done and all P3's now updated Your ticket will be answered quickly.

I got the link for the download software, tried installing, and it doesn't work.

I couldn't get the radius software to work either, so I don't know if I have a bad programmer or if my PC doesn't like provape software. Did you have any issues with installing the software? I replied back to my ticket, and will wait and see what they say...
