Not to worry about the coil. It sounds as though its doing fine.

Watts are a measurement of power. With resistance variances, you will have power fluctuations.

Provi 2.5 and older could not maintain a level wattage delivery. Sort of like the variance you see now.

With the P3 you can now deliver even power by using the wattage mode.

Hopefully someone else could give you a better answer.

Nope, they're not for sale. But I did find a dealer that was willing to give me a free Beta and 200 bucks if I left my Vaporflask on the counter.

Nice Dealer...

But, I'll tell you what I think.

You now have an original P3 Beta Cap.

Something that is very limited!

How much power you are using.

Thanks.....watts are still a mystery to my pea-sized brain.

What I do know is my current coil should have (according to past experience on my 2.5) given up by now. On my P3 it's going great and still tastes fresh. I'll just be happy with that and not worry about what my P3 says the watts are.

I guess since I'm using voltage mode, I'm wondering what knowing the watts tells me?

If you've got a "smart phone" thingie, check out the GE APPRENTICE app...in it, there is an Ohm's Law calculator...it's kind of nice for figuring out volts/watts for different coil resistances.
You'll plug in your coil resistance, then the volts you're using (or would like to use), and it will calculate the wattage that lines up!
It's very handy!

Just means your coil has degraded slightly. Maybe not even enough to notice in the vape. Plugging your numbers into an ohms law calculator your coil has gone from a 2.00 to 2.06 resistance. 4.4 volts on a 2.0 ohm resistance is 9.68 watts, 4.4 volts on a 2.06 ohm resistance is 9.4 watts, numbers rounded.

If you were to use wattage mode instead you would see the voltage fluctuate. The difference is the quality of the vape wouldn't change much even if the coil resistance changed more significantly then yours has.

Quick question... Provape added a Provari 3 Ego Adaptor Kit on their site... Can I now use my Z atty Pros on the P3 with this adaptor? Or am I still SOL?

Wish Provape would include this on the description of these items. They only sold the Z atty Pros for $160, then for $140, on their site for 2 years. Click on accessories by most popular... and z atty pro equipment lead the pack. A simple 'compatible with z atty pro' or 'not compatible with z atty pro' would do.

Some recommended a different vendor for a piece, but not interested in buying unless absolutely certain it will work. Thanks.

The 5/16" beauty ring and the ego adapter do work on the ZattyPro but it's not an exact match to the taper on the Zatty. The ZattyPro was designed specifically for the 2.5 and the tapered cap. I've heard of some removing the bottom ring on their Zatty.

I downloaded the app. I know I must be stupid, but when you try to enter 4.4 volts you can enter 4.04 or 4.44 but not 4.4. Am I missing something or is close good enough?

Yeah it's a "build up" entry system...
To enter 4.4 volts, you have to type in 440...
It takes a second to get used to but damn is it ever handy!

Just so we are on the same page, does your app icon look like this?
