Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

[DEAc23]

I'm glad you asked here, as when I checked the website I decided to search Provape's Store Locator again, and I found out there are now two Provape Authorized Dealers near me

I doubt I will be able to afford the P3 before it's available online, but it's nice to know I will have the option

If it sells for about $300 I can justify $100 per celebratory event

Well...here is MY justification...when I was smoking stinkies... I'd drive over to the Stop n Rob and pay a little more than $25 for 3 packs of stinkies...I made that run FOUR times a WEEK...$100 or $400 a month...or $5,200 a year.

I currently purchase 100 ml of juice for approx $50 a month, and I buy 1 box of coils for the Nautilus $12, and 2 boxes for my Aspire $20 (discount received pays for shipping)... So, instead of paying $400 + per month for stinkies! I pay less than $100 a month for my vape supplies. Yes, I occasionally have to replace a tank because I've worn out gaskets, etc...yes, I buy glass drip tips occasionally...and I've just recently added a Kanger aeroTank Mega to my vape gear. But, I USUALLY save between $250 to 300 per month NET.

Over the past three years, this savings has paid for a new ProVari each year...and I added TWO this year, the Dragon and the TI...
And for you ladies....since I quit stinkies, I've also splurged and bought a pair of Fry boots, 2 new Dooney handbags, 3 new Coach bags AND my DH and I took a 9 day cruise to Alaska in a Suite!

I RARELY buy ANYTHING without a discount of some sort or another...and everyone reading this thread is well aware of the quality provape offers! The original ProVari I purchased in 2012 worked FINE until I let my son "borrow" it...and he killed the guts with a leaky battery...when I called ProVape, they said they would repair by installing a 2.5 brain in it...any color led...for $70...so, I'm going to get it fixed, and keep it as a reserve....

Trust me, I KNOW times are hard...my DH is 71, and we exist on our social security payments and a few small 401(k)s that we wisely put away...so, I don't want to spend a "fortune" for the new P3 EITHER....BUT, I FULLY expect that my collection of ProVari "soldiers" will continue protecting me from stinkie "nic-fits" for the rest of my life....I don't buy a new ProVari because I NEED a new one...but because I either like the color, design, or new improvements. And, sometimes to celebrate another year of being on THIS side of the dirt, and not UNDER it! I started smoking in 1967...last stinkie was 1/9/2012 (but, I smoked AND vaped for several months because of shipping SNAFUs with cig-alikes...and not finding one that "did the job"...so I'm into my third year of my vaping adventure...I couldn't be happier.

For those of you that smoked for less than 43 years....and now vape instead...you've added YEARS to your life and saved thousands of dollars in prescriptions for COPD medicines...

Here is how I see it...I was SO WILLING to pay ANYTHING for a pack of smokes...(they were 28 CENTS when I started)...(and THEY did nothing except try to KILL ME!) So, why would I not be willing to pay ANYTHING to buy myself the BEST to stay OFF of them? I'm not saying I was full of GLEE paying $300 for the Ti...but, then again...it's WORTH it...my thought is that the Titanium is probably the most expensive APV ProVari offers...I'd be willing to bet that the P3 won't be more expensive than the Ti but, if it is...I'll pay it...I have one of my ProVaris in or near my hand ALL DAY long...and one sits on my nightstand, in case I wake up....put your money into the things you use the MOST...a mechanic buys good tools, a tailor buys the best sewing machine, a chef buys the best cookware and a Vaper needs great hardware!. I just break down the cost of my APV into "how many packs of stinkies would this be?" And "how often will I use it?"

Happy vaping!

psst, I really don't need to justify it, I just feel better if I do

Rationalization ROCKS.

 

[Katdarling]

Yeah it's a sweet tank. Definitely a winner. Hope those bvc coils will be around for a long time!

I have a feeling your hopefulness will be our reality.

I know whose house I'm showing up at when the apocalypse rolls around! How long you getting out of your bvc's?

I won't post precise data (dates and fills) as this is not a BVC thread, but quickly I will say that mine are averaging 11 fills (anywhere from a few to 5 mil.).

Haha we're just passing time at this point just waiting. No reason not to have some pleasant chatter while we wait =)

 

[Katdarling]

I'm alllllllllllllll for pleasant chit chat, brickfollett!

 

[rondasherrill]

Who do we think will release the first P3 threaded atomizer? And how long a wait until it happens?

Obviously we don't know for sure... Just being curious out loud.

 

[HBcorpse]

I'm gonna throw in a bet on ByLeo, and Svöe Mesto...

Kanger to follow shortly after...with F---Tech clones briefly behind them.

 

[JohnD0406]

$239-$259 seems to be the average selling price for the beta. I got a really good deal, but I'd bet on $239.99 being the retail cost.

satin at $260 and the other two at $280.

Well, looks like the higher end of the P3 beta selling price became retail. My guess was off by $20 (speaking strictly for the satin silver, as that's what the beta is...).

 

[JohnD0406]

I am referring to the top and bottom caps...the stainless steel things at each end of a Provari...
And I'm talking about those caps matching the color of the tube.
If you haven't seen it already, go check out the Stealth Provari...it's all black. All of it. Top and bottom caps, tube, button, and 50% tint on the screen.

Every ProVari to date (except for the stealth, which feeble civilians can't easily get) had silver top and bottom caps, unless you got the extension cap. Doubt they do anything different with the P3. Since the v2.5 extension caps fit the P3, they'll probably just keep selling those.

 

[Katdarling]

I do recall a certain respected ECF'er here calling it at $279.....

So. It seems it might be about a Franklin more than the V2.5s, eh? Sounds about right.

Excuse me... :fake offended face:
But I am most certainly NOT a "feeble civilian"...
I, good sir, happen to own a Stealth Mini.
HAHAHAHAHA

Anywho...I know they've always come with stainless caps (top/bottom)...and that's why I was asking Vape360 if they were gonna change it up...

Okay apparently the Stealth was during my away time. Was this a Provape thing, or a custom thing someone did?

 

[BadTrainDriver]

The Stealth was made by Provape, for Dr. Tim, to be sold exclusively through VaporForce.http://vaporforce.pinnaclecart.com/standard-systems/provari-stealth-long-version-2.5/

Interesting fact now, Dr. Tim works for Provape.

I think eventually we'll see a Stealth P3. Hopefully.

 

[Vape360]

Vape360, are we going to see any color matched caps in the P3?
Not saying the updated picture doesn't show us some serious P3 beauty...but that black one would look mighty fine with black caps...like the Stealth, but stock (not an expensive aftermarket option)...and in the other colors too. Maybe not for Silver and Polished, but any actual color (and white) would look amazing with color matched caps.

Probably not in the beginning due to the chaos of just trying to keep up with the flow for the current colors, but we will make note of the suggestion

Full circle Vape..... it's really very cool that you're here.

$160 - ProVari v2.5 satin silver
$017 - 18650 extension end cap
$010 - flat top tank ring
$015 - blue LED upgrade
====
$202 - so, only $58 more for the new technology plus OLED screen, VW, saved presets, multi-colored LED, P3 thread, replaceable 510 connector, all 3 battery sizes, hydraulic positive pin, etc. Sounds reasonable...

 

[qorax]

Awesome! Thanx Vape360 for my Black.

Im in! Heck a zillion...I'd better start working on my rationalism/justification/excuse as to why I need to buy 3 ProVaris in 6 months...and why my "family" of minis has expanded to FIVE! At this rate, I'd better update my will...with a ProVari line...

I can see a real issue if provape offers tanks/clearos/toppers...I'll need a minimum of one for each APV...(but maybe they will only do a rebuildable...with my arthritis, I'll be safe from temptation...).
