Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

[The Ocelot]

Thanks for your input. I currently am vaping 1.8 ohms with perfection vapes reduced pg blend. I don't care about sub ohming, I more so care about clouds. I am pretty satisfied with the clouds I can blow sometimes, but I do wish they could be a little bigger. Also I should probably mention that when I vape 1.6 ohm coils in my nautilus and turn down my voltage a little bit to around 3.6-3.8 volts it vapes a little too hot for me and burns the throat a bit too much for my liking. (I prefer little throat hit.) But if I turn my voltage down any lower than 3.6 my clouds are far too small for what I am looking for. I know I can't have everything, but I just want slightly bigger clouds.

Also it should be noted I am not interested at all in rebuilding.

Thanks again for your input ocelot.

It can take some experimenting with different flavors themselves, not just increasing the vg level. There are some flavors that burn my throat/lungs, no matter what temperature I'm vaping at. Too much nicotine can burn as well and often has a peppery taste.

At this moment I'm vaping on a HyperTank. It's a glass clearo with a decorative outer sleeve. They use regular Protank/EVOD coils, but are less fussy and (I think) have noticeably better flavor. They are also inexpensive should you feel like trying something a little different. I'm current vaping a 2.0Ω coil at 4.5v. and getting clouds similar to the picture I posted above.

Has she been around?

I can absolutely assure you she is.

So I have a ProVari mini 2.5 currently with an aspire nautilus mini tank sitting on top. Love the aspire.

I have a v2.5 with mini Nautilus - it's a great combination. I'm running my 1.8 ohm coil at 5.2V (15W) on the largest air hole. Never a misfire, never a dry hit, and still a cool vape. I also have an Atlantis on a mechanical (0.5 ohms @ 4.2V = 35W). I like the Nautilus better - better flavor, and the Atlantis spits juice in my mouth.

Also it should be noted I am not interested at all in rebuilding.

Well, at some point, you need to make the switch if you want bigger clouds. I typically vape 0.4 ohms with a dual-coil dripper (~44W), which is perfect for me. Coil building is getting easier with more tools on the market, but really never was all that difficult. It's nice to buy a bag of cotton balls for $3, 100ft. of wire for $8, and know you're set for the rest of your life.

So my $223 paperweight continues to wait for it's mate....

joefisch, try revising your thinking. Make flavor the reason you vape instead of making weather systems. You can get plenty of vapor from mainstream attys. Vaping should not be driven by cloud chasing. If you just want to do it for fun then you're going to have to build and get a high watt mod.

Well can we go back to batteries. I've been using the AW IMR 18490 and 18650's but I also have used the Orbtronic PD 2900 10 amp and I have to say they last almost 2 days in my P3. Of course I still use my 2.5's which are not smart enough to have a IQ, but always fire. What other batteries are you using in your P3?

You have NO IDEA how tempting this is for me to type something TOTALLY inappropriate.

Were you going to correct the poor grammar of saying "a IQ" as opposed to "an IQ"...?
Cuz that's the sacrifice I almost made...

Which is why you have a IQ and I don't.

Dag-gummit!!! I was trying to steer us away from the eye-kyoo topic...foiled again!

Nope. Wrong answer.

You just had to get back on the subject. I tried to talk about batteries but you wouldn't allow it to continue. Please don't bring up the subject. We need to talk more about BOOST...

Welp, I dunno what THAT'S got to do with anything, but if you insist...



I prefer chocolate.

The sacrifices we "Sir of..........." have to make. I'm telling you..........

Well the last thing we can do is start a P3 thread under General Vaping. It won't take long to get off the subjects we've been discussing. Battle Stations everyone...

 

[Pinggolfer]

OK I need the IQ Master HB. I tried to stop looking at the IQ but just had to check it just a minute ago. It read 53 poor, so I turned the end cap one thread open and then tight again and IQ read 90 Great. Why?

Mine does that all the time. Low IQ, I just unscrew a half turn, rescrew and it's in the 90's.

The only thing I can think of, is you're changing the contact point between the battery and spring...or the battery and chip contact.
Kinda like when you rough up the terminals of a car battery, to get a better contact...
By turning the cap, you're causing just enough rotation inside, for the battery to make a slightly different contact, and get a "better" reading...
We may actually be seeing the manifestation of carbon build up between battery contact points...you all know this as the little black marks that need cleaning from the ends of your batteries from time to time.
I can't imagine the P3's IQ program is sensitive enough to pick this up, during a single charge span of a battery, but hey...we've all "oohed and aaahed" over how impressive this 32bit ARM chip is...
