And with our P3's literally being only days old, and given ProVape inspects the hell out of these devices before shipping, it would be highly unlikely there would be bad or dirty connections this soon (unless someone doesn't screw the cap on all the way). That leaves only the battery as the likely culprit. And when Robin's best batteries are the two new ones she just bought, well....2 + 2 = 4

Can't argue with that logic :D :wub:

What confuses the issue is you still had lots of life left in your battery even after the P3 said it was empty. It's not that the P3 is saying your empty as much as it is saying, "Listen Honey, your battery is getting old and crusty so I'm gonna save you from yourself and limit your power and make you think I've run your battery down quicker than you like...so unless you like me being a PITA, I suggest you get new batteries".

Something like that. :)

Robin, I don't know how frequently you vape, but at the low, 6.2W you use, an 800 mAH 18350 may last you all day.

Robin and I vape around the same amount at similar power levels. Robin probably vapes around 4 - 6mls/day. I'm guessing an 18350 will fall a little short of a day for Robin. But it would probably be fairly close.

Ms. Robin, I use the 18490's all the time. One charge lasts me about a day. I like the smaller profile versus the 18650. I think you would too.

Ok, I will try them out.

ROFLMAO!! That is funny as hell! ROFLMAO But sooo probably true!

I get all day (5:30 a.m.- 11:00 p.m.) out of my 650s at 15 watts, the Sony's anyways, I'll try the aws when they get here. ;)

I normally put a fresh 650 in and don't have to change it until the next day. So a battery change once a day... LOVE that.

I went through 2,000 - 2,200 mAH yesterday. For some reason, I subconsciously vape literally twice as much at 1.8-2.0Ω as I do at 0.8Ω (mechs). That seems true for the P3 at the higher resistance/lower power.

Just throwing this out here. I purchase all my batteries at ProVape :)
I will be ordering more today. I'm also going to upgrade my charger to the more expensive one that you have on the site. I got the cheaper one from you, back when I got my first ProVari. I think it is time for a new charger...you know...just in case. It's always good to have back up ;)

Are there any different batteries that I should be getting for the P3? Will you be getting the newer AW batteries in the near future?

We will be getting the newest AW on the next order.

I wonder though 360, will the P3 define a battery as being "bad" sooner than P2 users?

P2 didn't have this monitor so all it's doing is giving the real time data of whats going on. It's up to the user to determine when the IQ is low and all your connections are good, then it's time to get a new battery. That goes along with how old the batteries are.

That's why I called them P2 users because I know there was no monitoring device on them. I'm guessing the P3 IQ feature will tell the average person their battery is starting to get old before they are accustomed to thinking.
