After two weeks with the provari 3 beta, my feeling have changed.
On opening the box and lifting out P3 my initially felt underwhelmed, it felt flimsy and uninspiring.. I immediately felt disappointed. Here I was with one of the newest & hottest piece of vaping hardware and I was feeling disappointment.
Next was the menu system, it felt complex, hard to navigate and to top it all the new screen felt too small.
The next few hours was a battle with the two piece top cap coming off with every tank & atty I tried.
Back in the box it went and I spend the rest of the evening using my V2.5.
The following day, I decided to try it again, with the top cap screwed down as tight as I dared, I started to play about with the settings and..discovered the joys of hot boost..the menu became simpler to use and even started to make sense.
Over the next few days it grew on me, no longer did the screen feel too small and the menu too complex.
On that first evening, it didn't feel flimsy, it just felt light.. without the battery, tank and end cap.
I guest any existing Provari owner, will have similar feelings at the start, in the hand it feels likes your existing model.. How can it feel any different ? it's the same basic design.
No after two weeks, I feel the changes to the P3 as balanced, measured and considered.. It's a natural progression from the V2.5.
If I could make one change, it would be the three battery set up.. I would recommend they move back to the mini & full size design, hopefully with the rumour of 30watt change, they will offer a 18500 & 18600 only version.. Why ?
I just don't like the three piece design, am finding myself being forced to use the 18500 mode to get rid of that extra extension ring, instead of my preferred 18600 mode.
Just like the V1,2 & 2.5 Provari doesn't blow you away out of the box or indeed bubble wrap for existing users with its looks, no it simply earns your trust day after day....
And I guess this is the real reason.. Why we love them and why the non owners will never understand the real appeal of what makes them the best mod in the world, it mightn't have the power if the dna30 etc but it's earned my trust, when I want to vape, it wants to works.
