Sooo after being a kayfun vaper since I got into building after many dissapintments with factory coils, I've been testing a new tank. The kabuki, which looks tiny on my p3 in 18650 mode.

Now I have tried the nautilus and most of the aftermarket tanks made for the aspire coil and though good I found them lacking in one way or another between flavor and vapor or leak issues. Same with kanger's new tanks. Non of them have been able to fill the "simple plug n vape" slot in my gear that I've wanted for times when I just don't feel like building. My kayfuns will not be replaced but they are the benchmark I use so any tank I try has to come close.

The kabuki has filled that slot nicely. I don't know what Zen did with this tank but it has the smoothest air flow of any tank in its class. Somehow, this translates to more vapor and richer flavor even over my nauty mini which is similar in size using the same coil. Flavor is just slightly under my kayfuns but so close I can call them the same. I only have two issues that are not big issues, just personal gripes. One is the capacity requiring more frequent refills and somehow the bottom oring that cushions the glass against the base tweaked and gets under the glass. Really great tank.

Does anyone turn their p3 off at night? Does it even matter/
Also, I bought a stealth and it has LED color settings in the menu but they don't actually work because it is a stealth?

I don't turn it off at night. Seems to me it would not matter.

The stealth has a black button, right? So yeah it wouldn't work.

Hey all, thinking about buying my 4th Provari in 3 months (hopefully my last for awhile) and I was wondering if the P3 menu was as annoying as I hear it is, or if there is another reason a 2.5 guy should NOT get a 3.

The 3 I have now are the Radius, a 2.5Ti, and a GMZ mini 2.5 with the P3 connector added by Zen. I love the light weight/feel of the Ti so much I prefer it to my Radius, and since I have long missed out on the 2.5 Ti minis, I thought I might get a P3 Ti instead...it's about the size of a mini in 18350 mode, right?

In any case, I should be set for devices if the FDA goes bananas on us.

Titanium Stealth P3... shipped! I'm in the West so I'm hoping Monday will be vape mail day.

Two weeks from my ordering day, expected 4 to 6 week delivery time. You gotta love how Provape crushes their estimated wait times, they're like the anti-Fasttech. Got a couple of 18350 batteries to try the Ti P3 in "pocket" mode, I'm interested to see how long they will last me in a typical day.

Annoying menu? I disagree. The P3 menu is very similar to the current Radius system.
The main operational difference is how one changes power settings.

Yes, the mini size of the P3 is very very close to the same size as the Ti mini. And you have a choice of Ti Stealth or Ti Ti :thumbs:

On the Radii the little buttons activate the power changes. On the P3, 4 button presses access the menu, with Power up the first icon and Power down the second icon.

Good to hear! I'm an all-in on Kabukis, so I guess if I can set it to 11watts I wont have to mess with the menu again. Oh and if I do this, it will be Ti Stealth, for sure. Now I just need a 10% off sale since I've missed Black Friday :(

Personally I would say just get a couple more 2.5's for the same price. I like my P3 but the wattage just quite isn't high enough for me to use on a subtank. If it was 25 watts I would use it on there but I am just using it in voltage mode at 3.8 volts for my tootle puffing. Don't regret buying it as it is a nice mod for sure, but if I were to do it all over I would just get a couple more 2.5's.

That's a good point, especially if Aspire quits making Nautilus coils...then my Kabukis would be paperweights and I would probably have to turn to subtanks since that's where everything seems to be going, and I have the Radius for that.

turn the P3 off at night? ... mine's been on for a year :blink:

The only time I turn mine off, is when I want to check battery voltage at rest on the 2.0 chip. Hmm... I wonder if I can even do that on the P3?

brb... and the answer is no, I can't do that.

drat.

I just made my purchase last week. I was put off by their wait time for the Ti Stealth so I went with the regular Stealth. Big oops.
