ta Raitizz. I was hoping to get a reply like that. been meaning to get one for a while now. tired of buying rubbish devices that don't last. I only run 2 attys now and 2 juices, so have no real need for a collection, I'm just after quality now.

the P3 may become the last device you ever need to buy ... go for it.
An 18350's charge mileage will decrease as voltage/wattage increase...I mean, you gotta give the little guys a break! [emoji1]
I run mine in 18350 mode, but I vape my 1.3-1.4ohm KF4/KFL at 10 watts...and I get a little over a day with an 18350...which sounds like I don't vape as hard or as often as a lot of people out there. Your mileage may vary!
As far as IQ goes...well people aren't having issues with the P3...they're having issues with using crap batteries and then thinking it's the P3's fault. I'm sorry, but E-fest batteries have always had the "cheap" connotation to them, regardless of what they've put out. And an old AW will perform poorly too. I mean, just because a battery is of good quality, doesn't make it a miracle worker...its performance can die too.
IQ is an amazing feature, that will give the user the ugly truth about their batteries, as well as the cleanliness of the device. It simply tells the truth, as the P3 sees it. And this is a very well crafted, well thought out, safety minded device we're talking about here. Provape wasn't born yesterday. Their background was in electronics and programming BEFORE they got into the vape industry. So when I see people griping about the IQ, or the "unscrewed my battery cap and the battery percentage jumped back up!" issues, I just shake my head. Some people just don't understand the mechanics of these devices, especially regarding electrical contact points...
Anywho...I think you will be fine with the setup you wish to use. The P3 is an elegant lady, who will treat you right. You may very well benefit from carrying extra batteries if you wish to run 18350's at 18 watts, but if you can make peace with that already, don't even mention it to yourself!
Post us some pics when you get her home! And here's to an (early) welcome to the family!

@Redordead, thought this might be helpful ...
Regarding IQ, I've found it to be correlated to the spring in the end cap. When I get a low IQ reading, stretching the spring a bit fixes the "problem." I don't vape at wattages higher than about 14, and my coils rarely go below 1 ohm, so the IQ isn't much of a factor ...
Love the P3. Hope you do, as well!

This does not compute. Vaper, I am.
BTW, the GMZ is the most strikingly beautiful mod I've ever owned. I've always been adamant about not babying my mods. If I buy it, I'm going to dang-well USE it. No matter what it is. Well, three-plus years later, lo-and-be-freakin'-hold...
Kall me korrected, but this thing will NEVER leave the house. It is, for lack of a better term, absolutely "stare-at-me" sweet.
Thumps UP.
Thanks for the advice fellas. yeah the kayfun barely leaves my mouth. I go through about 10-12 ml a day lol. so if I'm changing batteries 3 times a day it's no big issue for me. ta again.
by the way, this is by far the friendliest part of the forum I've come across so far!

Some might argue...
And the ones who would generally don't post a whole lot in here...
It's become a hangout for most of us. We never have complaints about the P3 or any Provari and we all have had made friends here and I must say everyone is helpful with non Provari issues.
What are the Amps on those? 5?
Some would say it's OK. I dunno, only used 18650 high-drains.
then again, the 18350 and 18490 were not high-drains.
Here's a thread on the flattop:

And the test of it:
Test of Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh (Green)
But nipples fit in the P3 just fine.

As far as IQ goes.. forget the numbers.
If it says great. Great.
If it doesn't say great start thinking about some new batteries and maybe a bit of a cleaning.
Otherwise vape on.

I'm one of the "some people." Which is why I'm grateful for folks like you, and a host of others on this thread!
Welcome to the family. Now that you've been properly 'splained that the P3 is:
1. Great
2. Has no issues with IQ
3. May be the last mod you'll ever want or need
It's time for Sir Rod, Master of Lube's part. I am attaching my first and only Blog Entry on the Forum about my job here, which is to inform on the joys AND benefits of No-Ox (not to be confused with Noalox):
As Sir Rod, Master of Lube or the as sometimes called Rod, the Lube Meister, my loyal subjects have summoned me to as eloquently as possible outline the methods employed for cleaning Provari Threads in Advance of and including the proper application of his beloved No-Ox.
Being the sort of Royalty, who is better served with simple procedures, this treatise will be of a manner befitting a brief, but simple outline for all to embrace with ease:
Tools which are required:
1. Paper Towels
2. Cotton Swabs
3. 99% Isopropyl Alcohol
4. Lint Free Cloth
4. No-Ox - The Lubricant of Royalty
Processes to which you should subscribe:
1. Apply isopropyl alcohol to paper towel
2. Use alcohol laden towel to clean Provari threads. Be not afraid to use pressure to clean said threads as they be more durable than may be thought
3. Do not forget to clean threads inside of Provari Tube
4. Use Lint Free cloths to remove any residue or dust particles left by paper towels and to ensure properly cleaned threads inside and out
5. Apply No-Ox - The Lubricant of Royalty - Sparingly to a cotton swab (firmer cotton swabs are preferred tools)
6. Apply No-Ox - Lubricant of Royalty laden cotton swab to all threaded areas
Said procedure can be performed as routine maintenance or as required to improve IQ (though Sir Rod, Master of Lube remains clueless on certain matters involving IQ.
There you have it. The kingdom erupts with joy for having finally become learned in the joys and proper ways to enrich one's Provari thread system with No-Ox - The Lube of Royalty.
Carry on........No really. Carry on!
That's the thing with the ProVari. It works. If it doesn't work it's repairable. You pay up front then you are just buying batteries, which are relatively inexpensive.
People make the arguement that buying cheap mods saves you money. Sure. Maybe. But they aren't generally accurate or as reliable and safe. I was reminded of this by that thread about the nonstop auto-firing iStick. I have Four of those little suckers. Cheap. Fun. But not very accurate and subject to foibles.
I don't want a mod with foibles. I want a girlfriend with foibles. Now that's merely charming. Mods with foibles? Not so much.
If I was on the other side of the Atlantic, I'd probably be using a Semovar, just to save on repairs shipping.
It's a very good device too.
ProVape has pulled ahead with the P3 though atm imo.

Check with the vendor on the sustained output amps. You should get a battery that is capable of at least 10A output, and if that's the NCR18650B (which I think it is), it's only rated at ~ 5A.
For the Panasonic batteries, I recommend either the NCR18650BD or the NCR18650PF batteries, which both have the 10A rating needed for the job. Also, you don't need a button top in the P3, so you can get the flat top version from anyone who sells the authentic Panasonic cells.
