Saying you are not nagging and actually not nagging are not the same thing.
[nag-ing] persistently recurring; unrelenting:

Well, in my defense, I'm drunk (tired) a lot...and I forget that I post things...so I repeat myself quite often.
Quite often.

Insomnia is a helluva drug!

Put #5 at the top of the list and forget the other 4 Pops.:)

Precisely.

Your IQ is too high which makes you patient. It's a gift and a curse. I'm amazed you didn't give in to the black Friday sale. My IQ was too low so I bought before the sale. Darn we are back to talking about the IQ, I better run and check mine again.

I just tried to check mine - and I DON'T EVEN HAVE A P3! :facepalm:

Even without battling Gomers these P threads remain THE most entertaining ones on the lot.

Vape360 - I *REALLY* like the idea that was mentioned about blinking the LED yellow when the battery reaches around ~10-15%, then blinks red around ~3-5%, then flashed fast red at EOL like the P2.5. I've run my P3 with the display off at night, and batteries die without warning.

I'm also going to BEG for a ProVari 3.1, single-tube, 18650 ONLY, capable of at least 30-35W. I understand your companies concerns about wattage limits due to the ability to use 18350 batteries, but a single physical 18650-sized tube solves that problem. Also, less thread connections from the extensions. There's absolutely no other reason to limit a device to 20W. Everyone has surpassed 20W, and everything is fine.

I love my Nautilus BVC's at ~15W on the v2.5 and P3, but recently got the Atlantis tank. It only has 0.5 ohm coils, so won't work on the P3. On a full charge at 4.2V, it's running 35W @ 8.4A (a modest current draw for a modern 18650 cell); when it's no longer satisfying, at the end of the battery life around 3.2V, it's running around 20W @ 6.4A, and that's the BEST I could hope for on the P3, IF it could fire a 0.5 ohm coil.

I truely believe ProVape needs to step up their game with the next release, and that should be relatively soon. I know there's a following, and a large crowd that's satisfied with a 20W 5.5A limit, but that crowd is shrinking as new devices are released, such as the 0.5 ohm Atlantis, and now the dual-coil Kayfun 4. Seriously, 20W won't be enough for a dual-coil Kayfun 4. I run my current Kayfun Lite + at 15W, so with 2 coils, I could achieve the same per-coil performance at 30W. Too bad the P3 can't do more than 20W.

With that said, and it's just my opinion - one that's shared by many others, I doubt I'd buy another ProVari if it's limited to 20W or even gets another modest 5W upgrade. 30-35W is becoming a minimum for the new devices on the market. Personally, I'd like to see a 50W ProVari, as I drip around 35-45W. Sure, mechanicals work, but it'd be nice to have the safety and consistency of a well-made regulated mod. Of COURSE it CAN be done - YOU're holding back for whatever reason, while everyone else releases their product.

Food for thought, rant over. Happy with my P3 for what it does - it's great for KFL+'s and Nautilus', but I'll be getting a Kayfun 4, setting it up dual-coil, and definitely not running it on the P3 - and the P3 won't even fire my Atlantis. What's next? Oh yeah, the Kanger SubTank. After that? You bet the market is changing fast...

The man asked for 30-40 watts, not 200.
Even Provape thought about it, I don't think they would raise the amp limit to 5.5amps for 20watts, unless
they planned to reach 30-40watts.
It will be done eventually, I know it and you know it, it's just a matter of time.

I try not to post when I am drinking to excess.
Perhaps that's why I don't post often.
I'm afraid I will sound like, well you. :toast:

As they say don't hold your breath. The guy destroyed his lungs at 34 watts.

Oh! Hahaha!!!
Well, I rarely drink to excess...can't remember the last time I even did that!

I have bad insomnia, so when I'm really tired, I call it "being drunk" cuz in the state of California, you can get in trouble for driving while too tired...cuz it affects your brain the same as being drunk...
I wouldn't want to sound like me either!

I think ProVari already has a sizeable share of the Market for people who prefer Quality and Flavor. Let others chase ruptured lungs and annoying clouds (which, I believe, will lead to Vaping being frowned upon). A Good, Smooth, Flavorful Vape will outlast all of the Vaping 'Fads'.

I agree fads come and go and Provape knows it too. They make a safe device which always works and most tanks work great on them.

I hope that's a typo. If your charger is charging over 4.2V, throw it away and get a good charger.

No no! I think 4.7v is the equivalent of the watts setting Astro is at...
The P3 tells you both settings at the same time!

But yes, if that's your battery charge, it's time to throw it away!
