Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

[NicoHolic]

All this P3 talk has me itching to get one. Wonder if ProVape will launch more colors (YA, I'm picky like that) or even better....a Stealth Version from Vaporforce!

I think it was ProVape who said the P3 is like an automatic transmission. If the atty resistance changes, VW adjusts for that. I'll note it also has Paddle Shifters Variable Voltage if you want to shift adjust it yourself.

If you aren't going to use it for awhile, you should put it in a dark cabinet.

Sigh.......who knew a cheap tube of lube would come with so many rules!! LOL But yes, it will be stored in my vape drawer, which is my drawer in the kitchen, where all Vape supplies are kept. Only this drawer is becoming too small as my vape gear, juice bottles, LUBE, cleaning gear, heads, coils, chargers, etc. are stored. Soon, I'll have to have a vape cabinet devoted only to this hobby!

This drawer lasted about 3 months.

I'm so impressed with the organization in your drawer. I'll post a picture of my drawer, which has absolutely ZERO organization!

But note the infamous ziplock bag, containing a bottle, containing a tube of lube, conveniently sealed with a clip!

Don't be too impressed, now everything is spread out all over the office and kitchen.

I'm waiting for a Gunmetal.
But only because I already bought a Satin.
And since I know I will end up w/several, the Satin is quite nice.
Everybody should have at least one.

I use cardboard boxes, affectionately referred to as "bone boxes". Newer stuff is on top layer, older stuff finds it way to the bottom. Now and again I weed them out. Been awhile as I still have a torch from my ss mesh coil days.

I love the satin. Favorite one. And the finish is as crisp and clean at 22 months as the day I got it.

I have Satin and Black. Would love Gunmetal or a titanium look

Yep, me too. Satin Silver is THE perfect finish for someone who redefines ..../OCD. I don't like fingerprints. I don't like scratches. Satin Silver seems impervious to both!

Well, I finally cleaned out another drawer and reorganized all my vape stuff. It's all nice and orderly..............at least for today. By next week it will likely become a tangled mess. Yes it will!

What I really don't get is all the fuss about the menu and how difficult it is to navigate. I will be the first to admit it is a bit, lets say ... tedious. I get that and appreciate that. It's got so many different settings and only one button. I think we all go through our "Honeymoon" period with the P3 when we first get it where we are fiddling with the myriad settings and features. For me that lasted about 2 weeks until I had exhausted all the possibilities and was comfortable with what everything did. And I spent a lot of time going through the menu and changing things, and it was a bit more tedious because it was the first beta and not quite as menu friendly as the latest build in ease of use.

But that's really not the point at all! After my "Honeymoon" period I found that I set up the recall positions for my favorite toppers and the only time I use the menu now is to change the recall for a different topper (which is not tedious) or if my intelligent P3 tells me I have an issue that needs to be addresses. Well, except for maybe when I'm drinking and want to see the button change color every press (am I the only one?). Like Robin (and probably most) I just push the button, vape, and change batteries. I don't need to fiddle and I don't need vape drama. I just vape and it's the same vape every time I push the button, and it's set for that topper exactly how I like it (I know it is because I went through the trouble of making it that way... just the way I like it). If the vape changes I look at what's wrong with the topper and fix it, change a coil or whatever. The P3 hasn't changed, I know that because the P3 would have told me if something was wrong.

So that's where the reviews fall woefully short of describing the P3 experience. The reviewers never get past the "Honeymoon" period to really understand or explain the P3 experience. They think, like most other devices they review, that they have to fiddle with the menu all the time in the menu to get a good, consistent vape. Not so, and we all know this. Unfortunately their reviews fell far short of this understanding since they mostly only used it a couple of days and spent more time in the menu that actually vaping. Fair enough I guess since they review so many products every week. But it's a shame that's it's only half a review and doesn't touch on the long term value of the P3. The reviews would certainly come to an entirely different conclusion.

But what do I know... I just push the button and vape.

I need a gumetal zencote P3 with red oled display, black kayfun 4 with the proprietary threaded base, and a donut in my life right now.

 

[Bassnorma]

Menu...one button means you will need to do more with the one button. I don't hate it. It is a lot of reliance on the one button but I don't want or need two. So it is the lesser of two weevils in my opinion...

I don't think so...I think it is like the cleaning kit. they offer it and we buy it. The all in one shopping experience...How long does it take grease in a frying pan to dry out? Not the same thing but the consistency of grease is not conducive to drying out.

My guy mechanic friend lets his grease gun sit around and he is not careful about it or ziplocking it...hehehe

Fun fact: 'Crisco' (the white stuff in a can in your kitchen) on a cast iron frying pan does not dry out for years....

 

[Peter_C]

That's a good point. We should start a "Feature of the Day" discussion. I think the serial number should be the first topic.

The problem with that is - with both letters and numbers in the serial number, we have no easy way to determine age or such.

 

[Peter_C]

Well, you guys are all so creative! I honestly think the big clip seems the simplest. I don't have any syringes (I know, how boring) and I tried to find an empty pill bottle, but that turned out not so good. So, I think the heavy duty clip might just be my best and least labor intensive option.

Who knew we could have so many posts about how to seal a plastic tube? Huh? Who knew!

And so, the story goes on and ever on - there is no end ...
