Since I vape .7ohm coils at 3.7v, I'm counting on this hotshot feature to let me have a mech-like experience on the P3.
.7ohms at 3.5v will land right at the 5 amp limit and 17.5 watts.



wow, that's really dangerous, you'll possibly "blow [your] face off."

but seriously, 0.7Ω at a nominal voltage of 3.7 puts you at 5.25 amps and 19.55 watts on a mech (over the P3's five amp limit).

straight off the battery at 4.2 volts would give you 6 amps and 25.2 watts (over the P3's five amp limit and it's 20 watt limit).

so no, you won't have a "mech-like experience" with it.


good news though, mechs already have HotShot Boost™ technology--you simply push the button and the coil immediately heats up.

Straight off the battery at 4.2 volts? Um...the P3, like all ProVari's before it, can reduce voltage. This isn't an obsolete dna 30 chip in there, after all. :D

Edit: I do typically use mechs, and the voltage through most of the battery's life is 3.7 volts. 4.2 volts is nice, but it only lasts for about 15-20 minutes before dropping down to 3.7.

Provape is a great company, and makes high quality devices!

agreed, but why can't we offer feedback?

when ProVape submitted this device to dealers they asked for comments and feedback.

"20w is too low" won't be an uncommon one, and I'm just saying it here.


people seem to think companies release a product and customers simply shutup and accept it. thats not the way things work, through product lifecycles. ProVape exists in a niche market, which gives them the benefit of having customers and fans, but customers are the ones who will decide on this device (the "Provnati"-type clubs are already a given, and represent 0.0000000000001% of customers).

the same people who are willing to spend upwards of $200 on a device are the same people who will want it to go upwards of 20w.

I'm not saying "don't give feedback"...
I'm just against the endless build arguments...

I'm also against the people who keep posting "law breaker" scenarios, which go against the stated "laws" the P3 follows...as if they think Provape is going to step in and tell them that THEIR special scenario will work.

"Well what if I run so-and-so atomizer at such-and-such ohms...and that requires 1.21 gigawatts... Will the P3 not be able to do that?"

Ugh! Why?
They've already told you the four checks the device will run on. Break one, and you can't vape. No amount of math, or theorizing will change that!

I'm not against feedback, in terms of saying certain specs aren't great...but in the same breath, I'd tell you that Provape knows what they're doing.
They've had the most durable, most reliable, and safest device on the market.

They abuse the holy-crapola out of their products, BEFORE letting it go out to the public, whether it's for beta testing or final sale.
Not to mention, they only have THREE repair techs...
Take a moment to think about that.
They only have three people, who work to fix or repair their devices, on the off chance someone breaks one, or it wears out.
Think about how many Provaris are out there...take a wild guess at the number.
Then divide that by three.
THAT is having faith in your product.
And that's what you get, when you're not trying to please everyone.

So yes, you've got a great point.
The customers and fans have a strong pull on the way these devices are built...
However, Provape will build their products to the specs THEY feel safe with.
And if that doesn't cut it for someone...guess what?
There's an entire universe of vape gear out there. I'm sure that person will find something they like.

I feel like I've said this over and over throughout this thread...
But, at almost 20 pages, I can see how someone may not have read the whole thread.
And it's not like I'm anyone important, but I'm the only one saying it, even if others are thinking it.

Hey, not trying to bring down the mood!
Just replying as clearly and directly as I can!

I for one as satisfied with the ”limits” of my Provari. But, on the off days when I want to bend the rules & break some laws, I whip out my mechanical. Problem solved.

I don't think "Thank you" is enough to show how much I appreciate what you just said!

pretty sure all you have to do is go to the locator on their site. and start calling these shops to see who has one. will be willing to order and ship to you. and the one that is pulled in this pic I know will do it. :2cool:
