I am thinking about picking up a Procyon. I have a black and ghost white Radius and those have been my go to devices. I have a P3 too. So I am thinking "Do I really need it?". Probably not....but I still 'want' one. I have held one in my hand and its really nice.

I am in the same boat re: wanting a Procyon. The reality of WANT vs. NEED I guess is what is holding me back as I have a Radius, 2xP3, 2xClassic and 7x2.5.
Do I NEED a Procyon? Nope. Do I want one? Yup.
I am thinking about asking Santa for one, but I don't want to wait 7 months.
Thanks, Brent. I just ordered 2 SS Kabuki tanks from CEJ and it is good to know that I can order black tanks.Justin at Canada eJuice can order you one in if they don't have stock and I find their prices are less than in the US. $99 or $109 CAD IIRC for black/stealth.
I bought GMZ and SS Kabukis there. I ain't cheap, but I won't pay more just to buy in Canada.
Might be worth a look in then classifieds as well but you would need to be "verified". Actually, I would strongly recommend looking in the CL for deals on black Kabukis.
CEJ also has SS replacement tanks as well. Not sure your thoughts on those, but I refuse to use Kabuki glass as it sucks.
SS and poly only for me. I did pick up a blue glass tank from Zen when he was in Toronto and apparently it is much stronger than the thin Quartz tanks. I will try that one out one day.On your suggestion, I will order some alternate glass tanks when I order the black Kabuki tanks. Thanks, Brent!CEJ also has SS replacement tanks as well.

You will love the Procyon. It is an elegant mod for a more civilised age.I am in the same boat re: wanting a Procyon. The reality of WANT vs. NEED I guess is what is holding me back as I have a Radius, 2xP3, 2xClassic and 7x2.5.

Yeah I was about to pull the trigger on a Vaporshark DNA200 but think for the way I vape the Procyon would be better. Plus I love Provari
I agree
I am one of these guys that watches tons of videos and reads all I can before I buy stuff usually especially mods. I just know if I buy something other than the Procyon I have a strong feeling I will be disappointed.
I don't know if you'll be disappointed in something else, but if you like the P3 at all, I'll bet you WON'T be disappointed in the Procyon. It's a P3 that trades the flexibility of different battery sizes for the flexibility the additional power provides.
I only buy provape mods, i have tried all the crappy cheap mods my smoking/vaping wife gets and hate them all and watch them fail 3-12 months later but now that 2.5's are cheap plan to get only provari's for her even tho she likes box mods now the radius is still to expense for her she says since she still smokes but hey maybe a 2.5 will change that!

Vaporshark are not bad. I have an Rdna 40 sitting on my desk with a clapton coil and it is passable, but it is just not a Provari. Out of 30 some odd mods that I have, nothing, I repeat, nothing vapes with the same degree of satisfaction that I get from my Provari mods. If you have an inclination for a Procyon, I really think that you owe it to yourself to get one and see what it is all about. There are only two types of vapers out there, those that own a Provari and those that should own a Provari.
ProVape has long focused on safety. For example, the P3's 20 watt limit ensures a battery at 3.3V under load is only tasked to provide about 6 amps. Although this covers a decently wide range of 18350 battery quality and condition, ProVape made an additional effort to ensure adequate battery condition with the controversial and sometimes confusing IQ system.
The ProCyon's 50 watt limit raises that 3.3V battery current to about 15 amps. Even the 18650-only configuration inadequately ensures safety, since there are batteries of that size only rated at 10 amps, and some of them out there are old. There are some really crap 18650s out there. I suspect because the IQ system will come into effect more often here, and their past user experience, ProVape hid IQ from the user and went to a simple Go-No Go interface. I can appreciate that.
With the Procyon, I miss seeing the voltage for the set wattage and ohms, and I miss seeing the Boost setting I've selected, but I also miss seeing the IQ. I'd like to see ProVape offer a "Pro" firmware upgrade for the Procyon that brings back the P3 information. But I can enjoy the Procyon without it.
