Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

[Vape360]

Congratulations to all who are finally getting their P3's! The P3 looks to be an awesome device. For me, I like my V2 and V2.5's, I like LED's, I like simple.

vape 360:? Is there any hope whatsoever that the V2.5 will be offered with the new top cap in the future? I love it on my Ti and would definitely make another future purchase of a V2.5 with the new top cap if it was offered...

Not sure but I'll put in your request

Any concerns getting the AW Black 18650 3.7v 3400 mAh protected battery for use in the P3?

Just a gentle reminder to all that ordered today, a signature is required unless you have something worked out with your postal person.

I understand why, but my postal person is too lazy to come to my door, and just puts a sticker in my mailbox.

Same here. It's hard to believe a company offering a premium product doesn't offer a premium shipping option.
The last time I ordered a 2.5 for my wife it took a couple of extra days to get it because there is no way to sign a release for the shipment until they leave the pink slip.

Thanks for that, Peter! On (the few) days I'm due valuable vape mail, I take the day off and am sitting outside in a lawn chair... by the mailbox if USPS. It'll be just above freezing Saturday, but I'll be out there in my deer hunting garb with a thermos of coffee, LOL!

I spent an hour last night reading the P3 owner's manual. Is there something wrong with me?

I read the manual all the way through, every single word, some I didn't even understand, a week before I got my P3, so no.....you're just fine! Yes you are!

Other than the fact that I've never heard of that battery, I guess not. I mean, not that I'm some kind of authority or anything...but it looks like everyone else is too distracted by posting their order numbers to answer you.

I'd be wary of it though...AW has only recently come out with newer batteries that have higher specs...and they aren't black.
Always be aware that re-wrapped/re-branded batteries are flooding the market...
I always buy from a trusted source, and I don't buy any variations of my normal batteries.

I can see me going through a battery as I learn the menu.

The specs for the black AW 18650 Protected 3400 mAh Rechargeable Lithium Battery look pretty similar to the Panasonic NCR18650B specs. I have a couple of Nitecore NL189 batteries with the same specs in one of my Fenix flashlights. As the P3, unlike my original Provari, accepts flat top batts, I'm going to give em a try.

Do not use batteries marked ICR in your P3.

Use batteries marked IMR.

You want unprotected batteries.

It seems to be pretty simple actually. Most of it you'll set the first time and probably never fiddle with it again. I mean, how many times does someone want to change their LED color? Is life that uninteresting that changing the Provari LED color becomes a highlight of one's life?

I second this motion.

I doubt they would be appropriate for the P3. IMHO they are the most trusted protected battery out there, but not good for any of our mods with regulation/chips. I think it has something to do with amp limit They are protected li-ion batteries and are on ECF's list of acceptable batteries for mod use.....just not all mods.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm glad I reached out first.

Just got my Provari 3 a couple of days ago... it's working great so far and i'm loving it.. However, the battery life indicator is rather inaccurate. I'm using Sony VTC5 batteries with it. After I use it for a while, it'll show "empty". Once I unscrew the cap and screw it on again, it'll show something like 50%, 70%, or whatever the battery life actually is. I've never used a Provari before so I'm not sure if this is just something normal for Provaris. Is anyone else having the same problem???

Also, I noticed that I have to turn up the wattage quite a bit for a strong hit. My cousin has some kind of ZNA clone and when he turns his up to 7 watts, it has a very strong hit. On the Provari 3, I get a very weak hit at 7 watts. I would have to turn mine up to like 13 watts to get a comparable hit on it. We are both using VTC5 batteries and .8 ohm coils...
