Yes, it's fine. I was going to order my KFL+ from them at the suggestion of other members, but Vaperev got some in stock first.

Yeah, I bought from them in the past, very nice people.

Worth quoting…

Straight from the manual... It tells us when to worry about it.

My advice, keep an eye, but don't sweat it.

The IQTM (Input Quality) monitor provides feedback on the condition of your battery and connections. IQ monitors the battery installed in the device and alerts the user if there is a problem with the battery or the connections along the way. If you have a bad spring, this will cause the IQ value to drop. If you use a poor quality battery, your input quality value will drop. A safe range is anything above 61. If you find your battery is not showing higher than 61, replace the battery with a new high drain battery. These are available on the ProVape website if you do not have a local source for them. The IQ value will vary a little but generally if it’s 61 or above you are ok to use that battery. In addition to a value, the P3 will also tell you if the battery is great, good, ok, poor or bad. These readings are often caused by a weak connection, oxidation build-up where the spring is or a dirty contact pin. If you get a bad reading, try turning the spring a few times. This will remove oxidation build-up and you should get a better reading. This is a very sensitive and accurate reading so little changes can affect the value. Getting a low reading with a new battery does not mean you have a bad device. It just means you might have some adjustments to make on the spring or cleaning your contact pin. This numeric number is from 100 (best) to 0 (worst). If you get a IQ warning the best fix is to remove the bottom cap, wiggle the spring a little, and try reinstalling the bottom cap to see if that improves the IQ value. It's very normal for the IQ to bounce around. This is due to the IQ reading being a real-time monitor of the internal resistance. The IQ value mainly comes into play when you are vaping at above 15 watts. This is when we are most concerned about the quality of the connections to ensure the device is safe to use at the higher power levels.
1) Great (81 to 100 inclusive)
2) Good (72 to 80 inclusive)
3) OK (61 to 71 inclusive)
4) Poor (36 to 60 inclusive) - Power limited to 15 watts when your input quality is poor or bad
5) Bad (0 to 35 inclusive) - Power limited to 15 watts when your input quality is poor or bad

Let me see if I've learned anything yet. When I get my P3, I should :
1) Don't worry about it's IQ.
2) Don't worry about the Display.
3) Worry about the grease on the threads.
4) Worry about where we store the grease for the threads.
5) After all that is done, just shut up and vape.

Did I get that right ?

 

[NicoHolic]

...Did I get that right ?

You nailed it!

 

[PapawBrett]

You nailed it! (except it's a P3)

Fixed it !

 

[NicoHolic]

Fixed it !

Me, too.

Seriously, Bronze, I, and others don't use any grease, etc on threads. I'm running 95-96 IQ with good batteries.

 

[PapawBrett]

Oops, I forgot : Before you order your P3, (too late for me), get you Limited Edition ProVarinati .... Coin !
EDIT: Which, by the way, I just ordered.


(well, it looks like a coin, and it goes on the ....-end of you P3......)

Oh yeah.

Order from them all the time.

 

[serenity21899]

I'm definitely not obsessing over the IQ. I don't even fully understand what it is yet lol. My original question was about my fully charged *brand new* batteries reading at 73%-75% when I put them in and if anyone else had this issue....

Charge under load. The 2.5s do that, too, with the battery charge display (Cb).

Have you tried Vape 101? They had the original and sweet vapes has it listed as well. Unless you are talking about the P3 version.

I might check the IQ once a day. Just don't keep going to the sub menu.
