Maybe I should ask this in another thread but I was reading some of the recent comments and thought someone might know...

Will the Blue (510 native?) Kabuki work with Provari Mini with Provari tank Ring or would that require me to be lucky? I was planning on purchasing the tank this week but some of the comments are making me think twice even though it looks like discussion here was when P3/510 adapter is involved.

You should be fine with that one. I don't recall anyone posting about any issues with the 510 Kabuki and beauty ring on a slant top ProVari.

It'll work fine with a beauty ring. In place of a ring tho, I covered my slant with one of those tank rings.....(only cause I can't find the pouch that has my beauty rings in it). :lol:

Congrats! Very curious to see if you see improved battery life like I'm experiencing on my Procyon AND if IQ is improved as well?
I do have improved battery life but I cannot say it's completely due to the new end cap since I'm using all brand new batteries in my P3.

I have noticed the whole IQ thing {IMO} is gimmicky at best. With these same brand new batteries , IQ can read great then next time I check, it'll read poor. Numbers that jump from one end of the spectrum to the other don't instill any confidence in me so rather than focus on it, I ignore it.

Other than me constantly having to raise the center pin on the P3 every time I get that 'problem' error, it's been a great vape. Worrying about IQ would take away from that.

Fair nuff. I stopped checking IQ on my P3 when I still had it, which for someone as OCD as me was a major milestone. The reason I was a'wondering was because vape360 said IQ would definitely improve with the new endcap. But it's just fine if'n you want to just enjoy your P3! The Procyone does NOT have IQ. YAYAYAYAY!!!! This OCD guy can't even check it!

That right there has been a concern of mine from the inception of the P3 connection. The pin is reliant on an O-ring to keep it at the proper height to make contact. I wonder as time goes on if these O-rings are going to need replacing. Also wonder if it's a service that ProVape is going to offer as a sort of maintenance item. ie, if I sent my P3 in for the latest update, will they replace my O-ring for me to refresh it to a like new state?

For some reason my computer won't let me rotate the pic. But anyway, here it is! :D

Did you take the picture with an iPhone? If you did, Apple made a change to picture orientation a few generations ago, which doesn't play well on some forums. Don't take pics vertically:

But here's the sad part- I just got a P3 so it should still be new. I've been messing with the height thing since day one. :shock:
This issue makes the P3 so unreliable that I'd be a fool to carry it out in the street with me cause there's never no telling how long it'll work without having to make adjustments.

What I also dislike with a passion is the error message is misleading. 'Output too high or too low'....so here you are trying to figure out if the coil went bad or your watts/volts are too high when it has nothing to do with either! It's that damn pin so now the most reliable PV on the market suddenly isnt! :(

Is it with just one attie or several? I'd be opening a ticket if mine were doing that...

I haven't had that happen to my P3 very often, but my Radius had that issue quite a few times. You could tell when you screwed on the atty - it didn't feel like there was any pressure on the connector pin and the atty would just stop dead in its tracks. Had to take a screwdriver to it a few times. I was wondering if it had something to do with juice leaking down in there?

But I wouldn't worry about carrying it around, once I had the connection made it never failed while the tank was on the mod.

Nice! So the latest P3's are coming with the new bottom cap installed, eh? I hear it's a major thing for IQ.
NO it doesn't come with the P3. The P3 end cap just wasn't in the pic. Here's my P3 end cap.

Next thing you know, people will be contacting ProVape saying they didn't get the "new end cap" on their P3.....:facepalm:

Again NO it doesn't come with it!!!!! :)
