Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

[clasicks]

I would venture a guess and think a P4 would be another tube mod like its Provari predecessors, but capable of 40-50W running an 18650 battery only, maybe with an on board charging system like the Radius.

sounds good, but NIX that onboard charging... added size and something to clutter our pretty tubes.

 

[StealthyTX]

So, if Provape follows its pattern, we'll see this P4 sometime in 2018?

 

[WillyZee]

I think ProVape is overdue in releasing a tank of their own with the P3 thread

 

[Freedom2Vape]

Then why are you talking to me if you only want to know something?

I figured you knew something.

 

[The Ocelot]

I never heard of a dog named something.

JW: I need to bring in something.
VET: Is it an animal?
JW: Of course.
VET: What kind of animal?
JW: My dog!
VET: Is something wrong?
JW: Something is right but there is something wrong with something.
VET: I figured that's why you called. Can we help you with something?
JW: Yes, that's why I called!
VET: Sir, if something is wrong with your dog you're going to need to tell us so we can figure out something to do.
JW: How about trying to fix something? That's what you get paid for!
VET: We fixed the toilet in the bathroom this morning but I don't see how that is relevant.
JW: Will you look at something or not?

Ok, someone else's turn to add on to it...

I used to have a dog named Kah'Meer.

 

[Katdarling]

Wasn't that one from the litter where you got No'o?

 

[The Ocelot]

Wasn't that one from the litter where you got No'o?

Nope, never had a dog named No'o. My dog's name is Ticket.

ETA: I would like to have a pair of Dobermans named Wrath and Vengeance. It would be so fun calling them in from the yard.

 

[ashtrayogdc]

I'm not sure what a P4 would be unless they go dual battery or 26650.

Squonker?

I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Whatever it is here's hoping it has a better "quick settings" check feature.

The Stealth Ti arrived! And, hold on to your hats, the postman was actually 4 hours early and delivered it on a "package run" first thing in the morning. I thought the shock would kill me.

It's definitely light, very light. I can easily see this thing in a stealth pocket mode paired with my feather light Erlkoningin nano.

Two things surprised me though. First, my attys won't screw down all the way. There is a slight gap between the atty and the beauty ring, which doesn't exist on my Celtic Knot P3. Hmmm, maybe the 510 pin will loosen up in time?

Second, I was really surprised by the finish. Owning a P3, I expected something similar and was shocked by the rough, tactile feel of the Stealth Ti. It almost feels unfinished. Is this a titanium finish or is the regular Stealth P3 the same? While it's not a fingerprint magnet, I noticed that if your hands aren't perfectly dry and clean the oil from them mars the finish. I didn't expect that either. Not a bad thing, really, just unexpected.

@clasicks It's called "Soft Blue." I think the color was a short run, last spring.

I have the Stealth P3 (not Ti) and the surface is smooth or what I would call smooth, it is not shiny but nice and tactile, almost silky to handle. I use mine 50% of the time and don't notice any problems with finger marking unless I have some e-juice on my hands, but a quick wipe with a cloth is all it needs. No polishing etc. In my opinion the finish is perfect and would imagine it marks less than a polished surface.

Anyway, these are just my findings Anyway, I am glad you have yours and I hope it gives you many years of faithful service

I don't have a Ti, but I have a full size and mini Stealth. The finish is matte, so if fingerprints do get on it, it makes sense that they would pick up the light. I honestly haven't noticed that with mine, but where I vape the light is low. I hope the same it true for the Ti.

I was thinking about a Stealth Ti...not so sure now.

I was thinking about a Stealth Ti...not so sure now.

Don't let my initial reservations count for too much @StealthyTX, I'm still breaking the Stealth Ti in.

I carried it around in my suit pocket all day, and the first thing I loved was the lack of weight. I had it in 18350 mode and topped with my Erlkonigin nano (a featherweight in itself), and I swear the whole thing weighed about the same as my P3 with an empty 18500 tube! I didn't even know I was carrying it most of the day. A huge, huge factor in loving this.

The fingerprint issue wasn't bad at all, I didn't seem to put any on it after a full day's usage. Just make sure your hands are clean from filling and loading your tanks, the oil from that (which we always seem to have on our hands, eh?) will make a mark but it cleans off easily. Normal use throughout the day doesn't seem to leave a trace. Better than I had feared.

The rough and tactile feel takes some getting used to, but I seem to be warming up to it. It's a well made and expensive looking finish, but it is completely different than anything else out there and an entirely different feel than the normal satin P3. I hesitate to use this analogy, but I think the finish may be described as that of an unpolished military-grade gun barrel (although I'm not an expert in that by any means). I seem to remember feeling metal like this on certain hand guns. And "Stealth" is a fitting name for this device, because it does seem to swallow any light that hits it and its features are hard to make out in anything less than bright light.

I was just so surprised by the look and feel of the Stealth, probably because I was familiar with my Celtic Knot P3, the metal on the top and bottom of my Radius, and a brief stint I had owning the standard Black P3. Obviously, I was expecting something very similar to that, and the Stealth Ti is a 360 degree turnaround. I have a feeling I may be liking this more and more as time goes on, and I know that I didn't have any major disappointments after my first days use of it.

This is NOT just a black version of a P3, it is a completely unique animal unto itself.

I was also concerned about the fit of your tank...I normally use Kabukis with the P3 connection, but I imagine for some things I may use a 510 topper now and then. Has that part of it gotten any better? I'm really considering some form of P3 Ti to round out my collection, I just haven't decided which. I'd actually rather have a 2.5 Ti mini, but there isn't one to be found

UPDATE:

Around a month or so ago I mentioned the weird issue I was having with my P3 where one of the recalled programmes/settings would switch to upside down (left handed mode) and go to max wattage. It happened a number of times and each time I would reset it only for it to happen again at inopportune times. I recall a couple of other people having the same issue.

So I opened up a ticket. I had great and fast service where I was instructed to change one setting (like light colour, brightness or burst etc) on each of the stored personal settings. Provapes thoughts were that it was a memory glitch and this would 'trick' it into resetting ...or words to that effect.

Anyway it worked, I am on the P3 daily and often run it down to empty - which some of us here thought could be the catalyst that initiated the problem. So 4 + Weeks since the reset and the problem hasn't come back. Considering this was happening a couple of times a week and sometimes a couple of times a day, I would say the problem was resolved.

So if anyone gets this weird 'memory glitch' this was a very easy fix. Oh and you don't need to keep the modified setting once you initially re-input them. I have been on my old settings since the initial change.

So my first contact with their customer service has been outstanding

PS. FWIW I do try and switch batteries before empty as I read somewhere that it prolongs the battery life??

I had this issue this morning - my 1st preset was fine but presets 2-5 were reset to the default. Going to resave my presets then change one setting for each to see if that cures the issue - thanks!
