This is priceless! In the guy's most recent video one of the devices he is describing is for "dry herb or m*j*." He actually says it. I didn't know youtube allowed how-to drug videos. Anyway, for demonstration purposes he pulls some tobacco out of a cigarette to use in the vaporizer. Do we have irony here kids?

There was bound to be someone to take it full circle and try burning tobacco.

Mini harmony-sexiest Christmas lady ecig-Very smooth vapor and huge vapor Great title.

Back to the P3 - I got the Red is Dead button blink, but since it only reads "empty" I put it in a 2.5 to see what the charge really was. The 2.5 showed 3.4v. I was just curious.

I'm picking up some initial indication in this thread the P3 may adjust the "empty" voltage a little based on the battery size and condition (via IQ). Bigger/better batteries with lower impedance will drop less under load and that's especially important at the end of the charge. Of course, it could just be variability in different meters.

I got my BF package from RTD Vapor yesterday. Really loving the P3 in the 18350 mode. Although it's about 1/4" longer than my 18500 Simplicity, the end cap still rests on my little finger nicely. I still occasionally try to fire it with my little finger.

The first of the 800 mAH "new" AW IMR 18650s 18350s came in at 88-89 IQ and now the second is running about 86. They were a little lower until I had a few puffs on them. Looking forward to trying the "new" 2200 mAH 18650s.

edit: the third 18350 is running 88. #1 and #2 went through a 19mm x 35 mm IBTanked (on a Sophia), which IBT says is 1.5 ml, with a few percent left on battery life each time. Looks like it will take two batteries to get through one of their 22mm x 35mm tanks, which they claim is 3 ml. This is all at 9.6W/3.9V into 1.6Ω.

edit again: #3 went up to 89 and stayed there until empty. Finished another tank.

I love how his eyes are watering until he goes down to 10w. I wonder how one says "mouth to lung is a bad plan" in Chinese?

ETA: Something from FT costs $190.00? I wouldn't have believed that 2 years ago.

ETAA: 260w

It's for professional vapers only, I'm not a professional vaper. I loved that line. He should have showed the P3 at least he wouldn't need to call 911.

Oh if only the haters, and those displeased with the specs of the P3, could see that THE OFFICIAL P3 thread has resorted to endless jokes about No-Ox...and is not awash with complaints from people who bought one...

Coming soon to a forum near you...

Who in their right mind would spend near $500 on a wimpy ProVari 3 and a Kayfun 4 when you can have four Vamos of these for the same price:

Vaping 2015 - The NEW Beginner’s Starter Kit
Aspire CF SUBΩ Battery $45.00
Aspire USB Charger $4.00
Aspire Atlantis Tank $45.00
5pcs Atlantis Replacement Atomizer 0.5ohm $21.00

Just add [low nic / high VG] juice and blow clouds safely!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

It SHOULD be adjusting "empty" based on your voltage/wattage setting, as the higher the setting, the higher the current draw on the battery, thus the lower the voltage under load. Battery voltage under load is the most important spec, so idle voltage could vary and that's likely what you're seeing.

Aspire might have the Nautilus under its belt, and the Atlantis may prove to be a good system as well...
But on every review of their new batteries, I cringe so hard my face almost gets stuck that way!
That button click??? Ugh! It's so cheap!
And the fact that they are setting up newbies with cookie cutter subohm rigs, and mass marketing the subohm vape style...? Thank the gods for companies like Provape, who put SAFETY first...
:smh:

No surprise there. I'm not sure signing the slip is good enough. I'm not even sure he'll have it on his truck tomorrow. You might have to take that slip and go to the post office yourself and pick it up. Are you certain? I share your disappointment. Truly! I waited for my maildude and intercepted him at the box.

Exactly what I'd do- take me & the slip to the PO. No guarantee your carrier will do the right thing tomorrow either.

Youtube tip Number one:

If your RDA catches on fire, do not continue videoing.

I haven't seen this video for a few months so at first I thought the VA review was this guy



"...so you can vape till you die, nobody cares..." lol

"PLEASE DO NOT PM ME TO ORDER ONE I WILL OPEN A PREORDER LIST NEXT WEEK AFTER I SLAY ENOUGH UNICORNS FOR PARTS!"

Why is it taking so long for my P3 to get here ?

Uh, because you're acting like a petulant little child with no patience? :)

I think you'll get it tomorrow PopPop. Have you read the manual so you'll know what you're doing when it arrives? One piece of advice from one slow, old fart to another. Do not set the scroll speed to level 5 (keep it at 3 or less). If you do, it will go too fast for your old, worn out reflexes to go back and slow it down. It's like painting yourself in a corner. Level 5 is for the kids. Let them have it.

You'll never know how far too far is until you've been there. :D

One piece of advice from one slow, broken down, worn out, forgetful, grumpy old fart to another. Do not set the scroll speed to level 5 (keep it at 3 or less). If you do, it will go too fast for your old, worn out reflexes to go back and slow it down. It's like painting yourself in a corner. Level 5 is for the kids. Let them have it.

Fixed it for ya :)
