[Regzzz]

Did someone say something about IQ?!?

Mine changes when I turn my Provi upside down.

LOL.. I can now picture lots of people turning their P3 upside down to check this!!!!

This may continue forever!

I know I know...
But some people have little attitudes about it, like they think they know more about the IQ feature...
And I'm like...all the info is in the manual...it's not an interactive variable.

I learned something new about the P3 today that has nothing to do with IQ or No Ox.

I hadn't looked closely at the top cap(s), but being an experienced vaper I don't screw anything down tightly, so have never had any issues. I went over to a friend's house who said she was having problems with her tank leaking. It was a nautilus. She didn't know that. [Clue] It was on her Spinner-esque/whatever battery and the thing was screwed on so tightly I struggled to get it off. She was in the kitchen getting wine and as she came back in I commanded, "Do not ever screw your tank down so tightly!"

She said the guy at the vape store told her it should be tight, but then admitted she had tightened it further because it was leaking. [The Ocelot's eyes narrowed.] We have been friends for going on 20 years, so I carefully measured my words. "See how the pin at the bottom is flat? It won't leak from there. It will leak from the airflow control holes or where the glass meets the metal, although that's uncommon. Tightening it down won't help."

She really likes my juice, so I took the Nautilus apart, rinsed it out and filled it up with my flavor. Then I explained to her how to keep it from leaking and showed her what to do if it did. I put it on a Vamo and got a ridiculous ohms reading. I messed around with it a bit, then got a 99 code (the Vamo error code). Back when I was rinsing it out, I thought the threads felt a little weird, so now I wondered if all the over tightening had done some damage to them. Vamos are notorious for having easily stripped 510 connections, so I put it on the P3 to see if I could find the fault.

The P3...the P3. I was thinking it was like my 2.5s, tough, solid, no moving parts and it would be fine. I put it on, messed around some more and finally got a realistic ohms reading; however, when I unscrewed it, it took the top of the P3 cap with it. Annie and I are both strong, but we couldn't t get them apart, so I took it home.

I went at this conundrum with needle-nosed pliers (not touching the P3 part, of course), but to no avail. I put it in the freezer, which didn't work either. I then put it back in the freezer for about 2 hours. As I took it out, I said to the little monster, "If you don't let go of my P3 cap right now, tomorrow we are playing 'vise and bolt-cutter.' I don't give a flying fruit bat about a Nautilus, so I suggest you think it over."

More needle-nosed plier action and I finally got it free. The continued turning of the airflow controller on the Nautilus had been a big part of the problem, but so was how the parts of the P3 top cap are screwed together. So heads up! In a situation like this, the P3 is not as good of a problem solver as the 2.5.

The small ring of the two piece top cap, has little grooves in it, which are perfect for inserting a coin...
You can use a coin to tighten the small ring down, so it won't come off with your atomizer...
On the other hand, if it comes off with the atomizer, the ring has coin slots on the bottom side too...
Provape keeps saying to use a penny, but you can fit a quarter in there, which may lend more leverage.

A good reason to have a spare P3 to 510 adapter in the Vapeaggedon supplies.

Sure wish they offered replacement extension rings. I have no doubt I'm going to misplace them (or the kittens will do it for me) when my P3 is in 18350 mode.

Mine changes every time someone makes another post about it!

OMG! What have you done? It's down to 56%!!!
Time to create a Ticket at Provape.
After I Ultrasonically Clean both extension tubes and end cap. Stretch the spring. Final cleaning of threads with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. And of course, the ritual application of No-Ox, right before I toss it back on the desk, opened, unsheathed and exposed to the atmosphere. Maybe even a dash of sunlight streaming through the window on occasion.
I will then check with HBCorpse to make sure I didn't skip any steps prior to shipment.
I do not want Provape to accuse me of neglect and hold me responsible for my own IQ.
In its absence, perhaps I will order a DNA 40, which does not contain such an audit trail of my ignorance. Oh yea, I already have 2 of those which are in the process of being exchanged due to the fact that they don't work! At least no audit trail at all on those.
Perhaps an Ego Twist would be in order. With a new Evod.

Treat your ProVari like a diva and it'll act like one.

 

[MTFogger]

I'll only worry about the IQ level if it tells me "Good Morning Dave" when I turn it on or asks " Will I Dream"

 

[Pinggolfer]

I have noticed same, but have you waited about 2-3 mins, then it changes back to the color for that saved setting?

You were right it went back to red. Simply amazing. I still have no clue why it defaults to green as I never selected green.

Mine does too except when it's at 69

 

[AstroTurf]

Good Morning Hal...

Shall I load your morning vape settings?

Hal, I think that wattage setting is too high. I'll not allow it.

No Hal, There'll be no cloud chasing today. Remember the cough you developed yesterday?

That's right a nice safe 3.7volts.

Good Night Hal!?!

Yes,

Vape360 did mention this I think a while back... (way before the No-Ox episode) It is known by ProVape and they are fixing it in the next software update? Myself, I think I'll wait for more drastic changes in the software before I would send it in for update... these little glitch I can live with.


Ps: Hail IQ - Hail No-Ox - Hail whiskey! (it is Friday!)

Hail Yes!!!

I AM THE ALL POWERFUL KEEPER OF THE IQ. WHO SO FORSOETH MUSTETH ASKETH...
Ok I can't keep that up! Hahaha!

Um...all I can say is it's your battery?
And if the battery is new, on top of all those previously recommend procedures you followed...then yes, I'd open a ticket with the folks in the Emerald Tower. (That's Provape...sorry I was still partially stuck in medieval mode!)

I'm not so patiently waiting for any problems and issue ironed out till I get my Provari 3. Probably until beginning of January we will see.
