Nice try. There is no good spin on the USPS getting my hopes up then crushing them with a lie. I'd rather be *using* my P3 today. If you 'really' felt for us, you'd not vape on your P3 today out of sympathy for us. :0

I'll put it down now and use my 2.5's until tomorrow.... How does that sound? What I like to know is how many watts an Aspire 2.1 ohm coil take. I'm afraid of going over 10 watts.

It will vary slightly by juice. I like 4.6v on my BVC 2.1 coils personally. Above that on my Silo and my juice (70PG/30VG) will taste burnt.

Anyone vaping in the 350 configuration to tell me how much vaping time they are getting on the P3? Obviously it'll vary depending on usage, but I'm looking for a ballpark figure and I'm wondering how much juice is going into all the features... Cheers!

Quite honestly, I'm getting anywhere from 1-1.5 days of regular usage in 18350 mode.
On my v2.5 I was getting that performance in 18490 mode, so my P3 experience has been on the "long battery life" side...although plenty of people have been reporting that the P3 is a battery eater...
I consistently vape on 1.8 ohm coils in my Kayfun(s)...I vape them at 10 watts...
Soooooo...I don't know what kind of set-up you're planning on using, but there's my two cents! Good luck! You'll enjoy no matter what! The P3 is amazing.

Once again I will sit out in the cold (and maybe snow) just so they don't pink slip me.

Problem is, some of these mail carriers leave the package at the post office and just give you the pink slip to go pick it up. My usual carrier is pretty good but if he's out it's a crap shoot.

I haven't really timed it plus I'm vaping 3 different devices/flavors in rotation but my sense is the battery life is no better or worse than the 2.5 at the same voltage/wattage output. That said the 2.5 had outstanding battery life imo with a puny 18350.

Battery life is totally frequency of use dependent. Where you get up to 1.5 days from an 18350 at 10 or so watts I get maybe 6 hours on a 2.5 at 7.5 or so watts on a ~2.5Ω coil using a Provari mini 2.5. Battery life is dependent on vaping style and varies widely.

This is exactly the case. The P3 does not use anymore power than the 2.5. The OLED does not use a lot of power and the other features do not use more power except for boost and of course if you turn up your voltage or wattage. Efficiency is the same.

It's going to vary a lot my how long your puff is, how often, the power settings, boost, resistance etc.

I'm thinking boost will use less battery. Wont need to take primer puffs anymore.

Well yeah...I know that.
But the OP was asking for a ballpark, which I'm assuming he/she would gather from multiple answers to the question.
I was just contributing.
Personally, I really feel like I'm getting more life out of the P3...
With my v2.5's, I would get less than a day on an 18350...same Kayfun build (1.8 ohms), equivalent voltage (4.2 - 4.4)...
Like I said, this same set up gets me 1-1.5 days on my P3...so I'm finally able to use 18350 mode...and it's been nice! Using a v2.5 in 18490 mode just feels so big now.
All in all, I seem to be on the "longer battery life" side of things...I mentioned earlier, that some people have reported notably shorter battery life...but we all vape differently!
And to be quite honest, I'm sure PART of the shorter battery life they're experiencing, is just the fact that they can't put the P3 down!!! It's too fun to vape the NEW PROVARI!!! With every puff, my brain says "You're using the new Provari..." and it always feels exciting. Of course, even with my v2.5's, I still felt a surge of "Yeah I'm using a Provari." every time I'd take a hit.


"Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethro's and a Leon Spinx, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald....ever."
