This just in:

Several news outlets are reporting the outbreak of a new virus, said to be emanating from the Pacific Northwest, and spreading across North America. The virus has also been said to have jumped to a few European countries as well.
Scientists are hesitant to call it an epidemic, but as the number of cases continues to rise, they may be faced with few other options.
The virus was first reported about 10-14 weeks ago, and has reportedly spread exponentially. While the first few cases were identified as beta-carriers, the current victims of what is now being called the H1-P3 virus, have become directly infected.
While the CDC, ECF, and CASAA have yet to make any statements, we have a small list of the most identifiable symptoms.
1. Many of the infected have been seen lurking near mailboxes and delivery locations, with dilated pupils and slight foaming around the mouth.
2. The infected are also said to be calling out of work, and staying away from family & friends, preferring to stay indoors, surrounded by clouds of water vapor.
3. The infected have been reported as slightly incoherent, and taking on the appearance of fictional character Golum, from the Lord Of The Rings movies.
If you, or anyone you know, has been displaying these symptoms, you are advised to go to the nearest Authorized Provape reseller, to be treated immediately.
More details on the way, as this story unfolds.

I'm slowly realizing that I may be a couple of decades below the average age of this thread...

Why do I get the feeling ProVape is going to regret that IQ feature. :)
I'm going to ignore the IQ for now. Put a fresh battery in and it reads 87. An hour later it's at 67, another hour and it's 54 and poor. Remove battery cap put it back on and now my battery reads 87 again. Totally confusing and it makes no sense.

Those reading were in the vw mode. I'll try volts tomorrow. I'm certainly going to keep my dependable 2.5's. I don't know how anyone can put down the 2.5.

I couldn't enjoy the boost at first because I had to break the habit of doing the primer puffs. As the day wears on, I'm breaking that habit and beginning to experience the rapturous effects of this nifty feature.

Yup, need to relearn to vape on this with the boost feature ;)

Trying to stay up with this thread but it's difficult with the time difference...10 new pages since I turned out the lights at 3am here!

Has Vape360 said anything yet on the boost error over ~2.0-2.1 ohms in ver. 35/36? I'm thinking about sending my P3 beta back for an s/w upgrade but not if this is going to start happening...I like the boost too much and the error is not happening with ver. 31.

Minor freak-out: so my Lemo decides it wants to start leaking (I'm a n00b) all over my P3 and as I scramble to get it off of the mod, the beauty ring and center thread thingy got stuck unto the Lemo. Big-time stuck. I eventually had to use pliers. I had tightened it with a coin before-hand, btw.

I realized what the real problem was, finally. I let out the pin on the Lemo and, therefore, didn't have to screw it down so tight My pin had been a bit pushed in to start with. In fact, when I first put it on the P3 it didn't fire...even though it felt snug, and I had to screw it tighter. Live and learn!

Did I mention that I love boost?

Just got the P3 a couple of hours ago....

This whole boost setting is gonna take some time to get used to. It's like learning to vape all over again, no primer puffs, no waiting on the coil to heat up, it's weird.....in a good way!

I've also found that a couple of my older batteries are apparently in need of replacement, at least the IQ setting tells me so.......

NicoHolic,

Thank You!!!

During a P3 Fun Filled Weekend of Vaping Goodness.

Nico suggested that I pull out my Cisco Spec HH.357 and sample some of my juice in that.

Well, I finally Get It. I am a Noob. A Vaping Noob. A Noob in every sense of the Word... Noob!!!

But, Look at what I Found:

Aspire Nautilus Cisco Spec HH Replacement Coils

http://www.avidvaper.com/aspire-nautilus-cisco-spec-hh-replacement-coils/

Just had to share. I'll be ordering a couple or 20 on payday.

Jim

Jim, if you buy one of these, I'd stick with 1.5Ω for use with the P3's BoosT. Just because a clearomizer head is labeled Cisco-spec doesn't mean it's going to perform like a dripper such as the HH 357.

The major advantage of a dripper is you're dripping only a coupla drops at a time onto a coil located directly below the drip tip. The juice doesn't sit for an extended period in wick tails and in a hot bowl below the coil, or just as bad, in a tank around the coil, getting the flavor cooked out of it long before it even gets to the coil.

Real dripping is like putting a fresh steak on a red hot grill or in a red hot frying pan vs throwing it in the oven with the potatoes and searing it AFTER that.

There are devices claiming to be drippers (RDAs) that have a screw post below the drip tip. :facepalm: That's obviously not a dripper. There are devices claiming to be drippers that have a bowl in the base for lots juice transported to the coil in wick tails. That's not a dripper--it's a slow cooker that's filled through the drip tip. I've seen folks say their Kayfun is better than their dripper--but their dripper really isn't a dripper.

There's no way a topper with a tank, be it a top-coil CE4/Vivi Nova/Genesis, a bottom coil ProTank/Kayfun, or a tanked carto or RBA, is going to give the same experience as a real dripper. It may be good, it may even be great, but it won't be the same.

Thanks Again Nico...

Its all coming to me bit by bit.

I just have to have a "tank" of some sort for portability though.

Jim

We all do, Jim. The tiny 6 ml tanked device I take out of the house daily applies a bit of fresh juice to the coil just like a dripper. But because this is ProVape's company forum, I extend them the courtesy of not promoting it here.

I also use IBTanked cartos and Sophias around the house on tubular mods. Drippers are reserved for my special juices.
