Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

[JohnD0406]

Did everyone see this? Free end cap and free LED upgrade... I got my "free" end cap and "free" LED upgrade with my P3!

ProVape - End of Summer Sale

PS - Actually, I bought a v2.5 end cap to use on my P3 because I'm used to the look and feel from using my v2.5 for so long.

Hot boost is a great feature, but by god does it drain your batteries

Yesterday I had hot boost on setting 3 with a Torchy 18650 3400mah battery, Which was empty by 7pm, used 2.5ml juice at 11 watts

Today I had the boost off and used a AW 16500 2000mah battery, currently at 59% at 8pm not a fair test I know !! but I had turned the boost off first thing, as the battery I was using was lower mah and I didn't want to get caught short at work

Wow, I really wish I hadn't seen this, I'm already considering using this promo as an excuse to order one now, even though technically it wouldn't save me any money. Since I was planning on getting a BLEM Satin Silver with the 18490 end cap and a red LED, which would only be $160 and change, and with the promo it would be $175 and change (since I'm assuming I'd have to buy a new Satin Silver to qualify for the promo).

I guess I need to decide if getting the non-blem version and the green/blue LED is worth it


ETA: Damn I just checked and it looks like even the BLEMs will come with the free extension cap! If they get any more BLEM Satin Silver mini's in before the promo ends I won't be able to stop myself from ordering one

I'm sorry, but if you're going to misquote me, allow me to correct you...
I said he had a couple of points muddied. And if you consider incorrect information to not be "muddy" then I don't know what to tell you. The incorrect info I am referring to is the reverse battery protection point. The other points I said were "muddied" were just semantics. Also, I was using the P3 as an example of Provape's movement forward in regards to using different batteries. I was not singling out the P3.

As far as the the legal stuff regarding the battery issue, Provape isn't TELLING anyone to use any battery. They are simply recommending a battery. Someone getting hurt because of a recommendation would not be Provape's liability issue. If the use of AW batteries was a strict instruction, then there would be an issue.
The Provari does not come with a battery. The user must purchase them separately.
If the battery fails, and hurts someone, that is the fault of the battery manufacturer.

I see John has corrected you so no need for me to repeat. / end of that discussion. Moving along...

I never used the word "TELLING" and we both agree on the term "Recommended" so why the need? EDIT: OK I get it why you raised the term in support of your specious argument. No problem. Please continue reading and I would suggest a deep breath and a firm grip on your rodent. /lol /joke/ /end edit. I would respectfully suggest that you carefully read what the ProVape site currently says and the ONLY bats they sell. THAT IS TELLING! For your reading pleasure and bolded by me:

"Battery Tip

Batteries - We only recommend using approved 18490 and 18650 batteries in the ProVari. All of the batteries that we sell on our website have been tested to work with the ProVari and these are the only cells you should use. There is a big difference between all the different batteries on the market and a lot of testing has been done on these various batteries. The reason we recommend using high drain cells is because these cells can output more current providing the ProVari with the power it needs to operate properly. There are a number of batteries that will cause issues including the Trustfire, Ultrafire and other brands. These batteries cannot handle higher current output and the battery will turn off while in use or cause a low battery alert much sooner than it should because the batteries have a high internal resistance. Please make sure you get the proper batteries to use in the ProVari to avoid problems."

Please take your issues up with ProVape if you have any. With respect to legal issues I actually used to think like you and I can respect your views but my outlook changed after I got sued and had to pay an attorney lots of mula. Good luck with your view of the issue even though I see zero merit in your argument.

 

[HBcorpse]

I apologize. I got off topic for a little bit there...

Let's bring this back to the P3.

Let's put this to a vote:
If you get a P3, do you leave it at home when you go out?
Or do you take it everywhere?

Personally, I'd leave it at home and use one of my v2.5's while out of the house...even, and especially, at work. I'd be too afraid something would happen to it...even though I am a fairly careful owner. Plus, if I only use it at home, I won't wear off the "new-new" as fast!

 

[rbrylawski]

"WHEN" I get my P3, it will go with me everywhere and my 2.5 will be the backup to the P3 in case something goes wrong and my P3 needs to make a trip to the Provape Spa. Yes, it will be with me almost always.

The one I probably won't be getting would likely sit at home, with my V2's. I enjoy my V2's immensely at home, but I do have other preferences for out-and-about.

But there ARE days that elect to tote a black one to work, so that would likely continue, with a black P3.

I've been taking mine everywhere. Never need to worry about trying to get another, unlike some limited mechanical mods, or low serial numbers. It's meant to be used, so I use it.

 

[HBcorpse]

See, I'd use mine everywhere too...that is, my SECOND one.
My first P3 will likely be a homebody...or at the very least, I'll take her out to special occasions. I did the same with my Stealth Mini...I bought the whole TrevVapor dress up kit, and only use it when I'm at weddings or funerals or graduations, special dinners, etc...otherwise it's plain old extension cap, and tarnished brass Tatroe ring for me.

That's what the Dragon's for.



Actually, I only use the Dragon with dripping attys, but if I was going to a wedding or funeral it'd be the one I'd pick.

It willl probably be at my funeral.

 

[DPLongo22]

And I thought you were a Hana man

I like my Hana very much, Mr Frazz, yessir.

But it's actually the least used of my mods, along with the VMOD, which I also like. All that I've not liked much have moved onto new homes, and hopefully more loving ones.than I could ever be (for them, at least).

For out and about, there can be only one. Well, technically, TWO (one raw, one anodized). But those are other Billets for a different Box.

Provari, like any proverbial first-love, will always hold a very special place in my heart. And often in my HAND too. ;-)

 

[PLANofMAN]

We should have some updates to this for the release. We are doing extensive battery testing in-house to qualify another cell brand that can be used, so once that is complete we will provide details.

If it's not the Sony VTC4's & VTC5's you are testing the wrong battery.

 

[SeniorBoy]

HA! I hope and pray my new P3 is a "chick magnet". At my age I need all the help I can get. /lol /joke

My Dragon has only left the crib once. For me, that Hybrid threading in the P3 is pretty exciting stuff. When someone makes a P3 Hybrid RBA which is kinda KayFun like I'm all in for out and about. Until this magic moment, I have other solutions for out and about which will satisfy me.

 

[jwbnyc]

What's the threading on the P3 again?

It's not 20x1 is it?

If it is not, that means a lot of currently available hybrid toppers aren't going to work with the P3.

20x1 is the closest thing to a standard threading that the market has seen yet.

Zenesis threading hasn't taken off.

But then, it's not a standard diameter anyway so never mind..

It surprises me that ProVape and Zenesis didn't collaborate on the threading actually. Especially since these are two leaders in the high end mod industry. ProVape lets Zen coat the provari, gave them the z-atty-pro to sell on their website... just surprises me.... but there is probably a reason I am not thinking of.

I've seen no announcement that says they aren't collaborating, only that it won't be Zen threading.

Beginning the wait for the Z-Atty-Pro V2...

 

[Konvict]

I take all my ProVari Mini's out of the house and that is what they are for, to use, not to keep at home! I have the GloVari, Dragon, Gold Zenkote and the standard Satin Silver and all go with me when traveling and two of them when I go to work!

When I buy the P3 (Gold Zenkote please!!!!!) it will be no difference, it will be a work horse like no other ProVari I have! I just buy them for the reliability, and also a bit for the looks to be honest but certainly not to keep at home.

 

[DPLongo22]

HA! I hope and pray my new P3 is a "chick magnet". At my age I need all the help I can get. /lol /joke

I'm thinking that I'll order 5 or 6 of 'em...
