wow, such prejudice against a country. Obviously, you have never used or held an SX mini. A Chinese made mod with equal or even better quality than anything ProVape has done... Not bashing ProVape, but a blanket statement that anything coming from China is poor quality shows great prejudice. Speaking of Chines made "junk" ever hear of a Ming vase?...or perhaps heard of something called "the Great Wall"?

But keep talking, your bigotry shows very clearly through your hate speech.

iProducts are fantastic. They aren't price-point manufacturing, as are PRC made mods...

a 2.5 in pink and probably a Kabuki tank.
Just as a heads up...

It appears that any plain steel 2.5 ProVari can be fitted with the P3 top cap as an option.

Also ZEN will be performing conversions to the flat top cap(P3) also!

Don't be foolish Steve...

Sounds from any vaping device is possible.

If you haven't tried one, just say so and move on.

Jim
Exactly. Just because it has more power than you use, doesn't mean you have to use it. Our cars can go much faster than most of us will ever drive...or is even safe to drive. Just because one person never drives above 35mph, those who like to go 55 shouldn't be punished because they don't they don't understand..

The whole "I don't do that, so nobody should be allowed to" mentality realy bothers me.
"I don't Vape above 10w, so there for nobody should" is right up there with "I don't drink, so therefore nobody should be allowed to" or "I don't own guns, so nobody should" or "I don't Vape anything bigger than an ego, so therefore nobody should" or "I don't Vape, so nobody should at all". Not much difference between any of those statements IMHO.

I said Darth Vader, dirty dish rag guy, Chinese professional vaper guy vaping is silly; not that they shouldn't be allowed to make fools of themselves...

I've seen videos also...
I saw a video once where someone made an artificial planet...and it was blown up by some punk kid doing some creative flying. Just because I saw a video doesn't make it true.

You like a tighter draw on your Vape. And in my world, m glad to see that you can find what you need to keep you off of cigarettes. We may disagree on things, but I'm glad you can be safe form harm, and we live in a country where you and I can disagree on things. Because of some dental issues, however, a tighter draw causes me severe jaw and neck issues...I can't even drink a milkshake from a straw without paying for it the next day with at least mild tension pains, and pray it doesn't turn into a debilitating migraine that threatens my livelihood. So for me, open draw is a necessity. Part of what goes along with an open draw, is the need for more power to create a Vape that matches that air flow. For me, that is in the 30-40w range on average, however some builds and setups require me to occasionally go slightly above that. I'm also thankful that I can find devices that can give me what I need. Sadly, as this has progressed, my needs have exceeded what ProVape could provide for me. So I'm hopeful that this new device goes above 40w, so I can consider their products again.

So now we equate the device to the appearance of a you tube person?
Well slap my derrier and call me Pierre. That's about the least sensible thing you've posted.

The act of using such devices is silly to me... Like the guys who take a $3000 Honda Civic and add $8000 worth of bolt on accessories, and exhaust which sounds like a lawnmower, lower it, rattle can spray it and think they made something cool. Both silly to me. Should they be allowed to do it? Sure...

Thank you for giving the ANTZ and govt more ammo to regulate vaping as we know it out of existence. Just remember, how folks in here bash folks who Vape differently than they do-- the rest of the general public put even the lowly ProVari 2.5 in the same category, and look at it the same way. Anything bigger than a rel cigarette is considered extreme by the majority of the general public.
Give me a break. So many in this thread have talked about devices blowing up. I posted the picture as tongue in cheek humor. Maybe chill a little.

Provape sales the Samsung 25R, and recommended it for the P3.
So with that said, if you worked at Provape, and was asked what are the safe numbers you would recommend for the Radius using the Samsung 25R what would they be?
Safe numbers meaning, how high of wattage & Amps and how low should it fire in Ohms? ;)
Well.. In general: Watts In + Overhead = Watts out... Watts = Volts X Amps. So the highest wattage a battery rated at 20A (20a is continuous rating, pulse, like used for vaping is much higher than that...and remember the 20A continuous rating has a margin for safety built in as well) battery could provide would be 84W, lowest max would be (assuming a 3.2v cutoff, which is far above the safe limit), 64w. Using a very low 90% efficiency (ProVari are more like 95%, but again, I'm erring on the side of safety) and the lower 64w max... I see 57.6w as a very safe number. Realistically, even 60w would be safe, but agai to err on the side of caution, a 55w or even 50w max from a 25R is no more dangerous than running a 18350 at 15w

I'd bet if it is a 40 watt cap, that .4Ω would be their lowest limit...10amp =50% or so headroom. It would free up those factory .5Ω coils that fall just shy, Who knows what their doing? It'll be a surprise to all of us I am sure.

And for actual ohms/resistance to fire at, is all moot at this point. Using the 50w calculated standard, running 1a, 50v (50.0Ω) would look no different to the battery than firing it at 50a, 1V (0.02Ω)
