Hoping for Saturday :). Take pictures. Lots. Hard to see it on ProVape's site.

It should be Saturday, as it's already been picked up by USPS, and I am only 4-5 hours from ProVape :banana:

Oh and I will definitely be taking plenty of pictures of it, as I have been searching for pics of it ever since I found out about it, and until dhaiken posted a pic all I could find were the pictures on the PV website. I was even considering doing some sort of un-boxing video to put on YouTube, but I've never done anything like that, so I'm not sure how well it would turn out (especially with a smartphone camera :lol:).

You are in for a Treat!
I love my original, but being Irish, ...

I returned my plain Satin Silver P3 so I could get this one, and even though I am only part Irish I know I will love it :D

No un boxing, please! Somehow those vids always scream out, " I gotz and you can't haz!" :drool: Pix at least convey that message a bit more gently... :) Happy for you!

The KFL+ Second Batch (makes me giggle every time I write that. It's the little things ...) est ici! It, along with 28 gauge Kanthal, yet more Japanese cotton (b/c Ping hasn't sent along the Sea Island kind), and new tweezers are on the DR table. No un-boxing vid; Santa's elves were a sufficient audience. Tomorrow, I'll attempt my first build on it. Wish me luck! And, please stand at the ready with answers. Yet again. :cool:

Mme. Ocelot, I love your Christmas finery! Most becoming.

As with most couples I know, me and the partner of 35 years included, we pretty much get what we want or need, when we want or need it. We do shop for Christmas gifts, which are wrapped and under the tree, but they're usually things we can use.

I really want a Nutra Ninja, which we'll both use, so I bought one and it's all wrapped up and under the tree! Last year Santa gave me a new waffle Iron. He wanted one so he gave it to me. What's that they say about "Paybacks?" LOL

This year the big 'gift' is the new Microwave the boss loving wife wanted.

Does anyone that's getting a P3 Nautilus also have a BeyoneVape Silo? I'm nearly positive it should work, but I'd really like confirmation on whether I'd be able to use the P3 Nautilus base/AFC with the glass and cap of the Silo.

I'm getting the P3 Nautilus. Mine should arrive on Monday. And I currently use the Silo. I won't be able to check until I get mine, but I think I'm the guy you're looking for.

I had the afternoon off today (AND ALL OF NEXT WEEK - YAYYYYYYYYYYY!) so I went to my vape shop and bought some extra juice. The salesguy is also a P3 user and he was using a Kayfun on his device and he had the same juice in his tank as I use, so I asked if I could try it on my P3. Since he was using a .9 ohm coil, I upped the wattage to 14.4 on my P3 and took a vape. I have to say, I was hoping to be positively blown away. I was hoping the amount of vapor would be uber fantastic. I was hoping the taste would be just that much better. But the honest answer for me, was no on all fronts. It didn't produce any more vapor than my BVC coil on Silo. It didn't taste any better. It just didn't do anything better. And for that kind of money, plus having to build my own coils, I would have expected to be just blown away and maybe even a touch jealous. I'm glad I wasn't. It showed me that my setup on my P3 more than meets my needs and takes much less effort and maintenance to get the vape I want.

I'm not sure what value this is to anyone but myself, but it's the holiday's and it's that time of year to share, right?

Carry and Vape On!

Thank you for sharing RyBryLawDudeGuy!!!
I'm glad you were able to have an experience that reaffirmed your sense of value in the setup you use!
However, a key point? Maybe this vape shop guy wasn't using the right build for you? Maybe he was using rayon? Or silica? There are other factors that come into play when it comes to rebuilding, so I challenge you to not cross it off your list...because in my humble opinion, I feel the KFL is the perfect match for the P3 (or any Provari)!!!
With clearomizer style atomizers, such as the Nautilus we both own, the vape is different between users, based only on things like device, power level, and juice. But they're all using the same coils (though some may have BVC's while others have BDC's etc.)...however, with a Kayfun, you can further customize your vape experience! So not only do you take into account the device, the power level, and the juice, but now you can also change coil material and wicking material...and also the amount of these two things...and quite honestly, those make a big difference.
All that being said, I use my Nautilus with 1.6 ohm BVC's, at 10 watts flat, on my P3. I build my Kayfuns with 1.6 ohm coils, and vape them at 10 watts flat, also on my P3...but let me tell you brother...the difference in performance that I experience every time, is incredible.
Yes, the Nautilus is the most amazing clearomizer ever. Yes, its Mini is awesome too. Yes, the Atlantis is neat. However, the fully customizable builds you can make on a Kayfun, perform in a different league.

Wait for it...

YES THEY DO!

He was using Kanthal and Japanese Cotton, if that matters. And these guys know how to build coils, so I figured his setup would be a good option to try. But, you're right HB, I shouldn't discount this rebuilding wazoo completely. It just didn't make me feel I need to make any course corrections at this time. And that's not disappointing to me. It made me happy that at least at this time, I'm not missing something. Yes.......I am!
