Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

[Riverboat]

NicoHolic,

Thank You!!!

During a P3 Fun Filled Weekend of vaping Goodness.

Nico suggested that I pull out my Cisco Spec HH.357 and sample some of my juice in that.

Well, I finally Get It. I am a Noob. A vaping Noob. A Noob in every sense of the Word... Noob!!!

But, Look at what I Found:

Aspire Nautilus Cisco Spec HH Replacement Coils

http://www.avidvaper.com/aspire-nautilus-cisco-spec-hh-replacement-coils/

Just had to share. I'll be ordering a couple or 20 on payday.

Jim

As a direct dripper of 5+ years now may I suggest you try the HH357:
Custom HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper Even though I have several high end RDA's I still love the HH357 for direct dripping due to small form factor..
If you buy some make sure you buy the long barrels and since you are using it on a Provari regulated mod go with a 2.5 ohm version.. HH's last for 4-6 weeks at top performance levels... The best way to keep them at their peak is to blow them out every 1-2 days from the threaded end... I have been using them for over 3 years... They rock and taste awesome...

Thanks for the link!

No problem Jim... You are going to love them... The customs take about 10-14 days to receive, don't be shy when ordering I buy 4 at a time... For a disposable atty they rival any RDA.... And the best thing is since you will be using it on a regulated mod there is no need for a sub ohm build. Higher ohms= less amp draw= longer battery run times and your battery and atty don't get so damn hot... 2.5 ohms works the best for regulated and the long barrels keep juice from entering your drip tip....

 

[NicoHolic]

Higher ohms= less amp draw= longer battery run times and your battery and atty don't get so damn hot...

This is widely espoused, but it's wrong. Higher ohms call for higher voltage and voltage higher than that of the battery increases the amp draw from the battery. There are two circuits in a regulated mod, the input and the output, which can have different currents. Just because you lower the coil/output current doesn't mean the battery current went down if you had to boost voltage.

There is no free lunch. The principle of the conservation of energy ensures whether you're putting 10 watts into 1.5 ohms or 10 watts into 3.0 ohms, watts drawn from the battery will be the same. And since the battery voltage is what it is, the current drawn from the battery should be the same with either resistance.

In fact, due to less than 100% efficiency in a regulated mod, you will do well to choose a resistance that calls for a coil voltage setting as close to the battery voltage as possible.

Why do you say that?

Because of all the comments about age, and the scroll speed being too fast, and "being able to see the OLED digits up close"...hahaha the majority of the posts about experience and trial/error with the P3, sound like my uncle, who is in his late 50's...and his experiences with different technologies.
That's not to say anyone here is unintelligent, or less intelligent than myself...but I just get the impression that a majority of you are in your late 40's to early 60's...
I'm barely out of my twenties...I had the P3 mastered before I had even touched one.
I'm not bragging like I'm some kind of genius or anything, far from it...maybe I'm just a bit more technologically inclined than the next guy...but the age gap between myself and others here is just the impression that I get.
No offense intended, and hopefully no offense taken.
"I luv ya all!"

I hear ya. 33 here and took me two sec and have it on setting 4.

I'm 66 and I didn't find the menu to be a issue at all. I think you'll find out most Provari owners were die hard smokers and the Provari made vaping easy and simple and most of all dependable. Us old times still spend our money on quality products such as the P3.

No offense taken. But truthfully, next to a 12 year old's ability to grasp modern technology, you too are a dinosaur by comparison.

55 and set on 4. I aint finished yet!

HEY!!!! I'll be 60 in 3 months and I learned the menu system instantly!! Age is simply a number!! LOL

Oh, and no offense taken whatsoever!

None taken by me...

I'm still 22 mentally, physically the mirror says different.

I think you're just mature for your age group... Congrats for that!!!

None taken. About twice a month I visit a new B&M to preach my activism. We have over 50 in Vegas. I always put my Mod in my pocket before I walk in to avoid tipping my hand. Last week I went to the artsy part of town and it was a "Head Shop/Vape Shop" throwback to the 60s. I received a lot of stares, attitude, snark, and more. Lets just say the employees were not rushing over to help me. With a rye smile I pulled out my REO and the first thing "Snark Dude" said was "What is that?" The highlight among many was my own DIY mix which I happen to be vaping. Even their on staff Mixolagist came out of the back room and we talked shop for at least 5ML. / lol Two hours later I left with some new friends who initially could not grasp the fact that I knew more than they did about certain aspects of Vaping and more importantly we bonded and shared knowledge. AND my journey continues.

Warning messages received when attempting to use Hot Shot Boost Mode are typically due to the atomizer being above 2.1 ohms. Boost mode increases initial device output power for a duration based on the Boost setting. If atomizer ohms are too high, the device voltage limit (6), also limits the boost power, and provides a warning message. Boost still works, just at a reduce power level. To get full benefit from Hot Shot Boost Mode, use an atomizer having 2.1 ohms or less. The ideal coil resistance for the P3 is in the 1.6 - 1.8ohm range.

ProVari P3 warning messages differ from error messages. Error messages can sometimes signal an issue with the device, while warning messages notify the user that the device is limiting requested output performance, typically because atomizer ohms is not compatible with the output setting. Warning messages do not mean that there is a problem with the P3 device, it's just letting you know there is a boundary condition, but in all warning situations it will continue to run and it's up to the user to choose if they want to make changes.

There is no difference in P3 software versions 35 and 36 with regards to the device providing warning messages when using boost mode. This is strictly a function of atomizer ohms being in the correct range

 

[Pinggolfer]

Thank you as with trial and error we figured that out. I'll be ordering more 1.6 and 1.8 coils now.

 

[Bronze]

Thanks for the clarification 360. Also good to know that the boost still works at 2.1+ ohms (albeit at a reduced power). Something is better than nothing.

I'm finding (in my early stages of the P3) that 28 gauge about 1.5 ohms is hitting a sweet spot with a B2 setting. The 26 gauge at 1.2 ohms even at 4B didn't impart as much flavor. The builds above 2.0 ohms wasn't getting me that initial power thump (now it makes sense). Seems consistent with your commentary.

I was just coming here to report that the coil that I have on my other KFL+ is 2.1. I am running it at 3.5v with boost of 2. No error but was getting a slight burnt to the taste. Took the boost down to 1, still no error and it has smoothed the vape back down.

I honestly thought you were kidding, until I checked and they really did make Vape the word of the year!!

Are you using 30 gauge coils Robin?
