Wow that 1st vendor is sky high at about $372 USD. The 2nd one is comparable to US prices maybe better at ~$250 USD
MikeE3 You wouldn't happen to have the name of a USA store selling the p3 ?
Cant seem to find any doing a search.
These are the 2 closest to me that show on the Provape vendor's list although I've not visited either one.

AFAIK, no stores have the Provari P3 yet, so no surprise on the null search.
And yes, within its capabilities, regulated mods will try to deliver the set wattage no matter what the resistance. It's possible to build a coil that exceeds those capabilities, in either direction. The amp limits of the regulator should then kick in to limit the power output.
That's one of the reasons most of us with VV/VW mods put them in VW mode, so they'll automatically adjust the voltage no matter what value coil we put in. Of course, it's also true that different flavors may taste better at a different setting, so it's not "set and forget."

Einstein once said - never memorize anything you can look up. Don't know if that's true but a math professor in college said that - and I took it to heart. So I keep this link handy and have an ohms laws calculator app on my iPhone.
Ohm's Law Calculator
At 30 watts you can go down to a .5Ω coil (drawing ~7.5 amps) and not exceed a 10 amp draw. Actually you won't hit 10 amps until the Ωs get down to ~.3Ω.
Cool! I have 3 cats (well, they let me tend to their needs. They ARE cats!) So now I can get presents from each of them, too!
Yes you do. Think of it as Boxing Day.
With three cats you ought to score some excellent vape stuff.

Yep - a verticle coil can be a really nice vape. You'd think it would flood with the chamber packed w/ wicking - but it doesn't.
Hope I snipped ^^^ correctly. Nice photo! What is the advantage of a vertical coil? Abbreviated version for utter dummies is fine. Warmer vape, better wicking... ?

Whoa, that's cool, er hot
How did you wick that? Just stopping in for a bit, work is taking up waaaay too much time.
There are different types of regulated mods (variable voltage, variable wattage, and now variable temperature). My comments mainly apply to variable wattage, where the mod IS trying to maintain the wattage you set regardless of resistance. Variable voltage and variable wattage can be made to do the same thing, but a little math is involved to adjust when the resistance of a new coil is installed in the atty. Variable temperature is new (DNA40), and will use changes in the resistance of the coil due to heat to determine the temperature of the coil, and will dynamically adjust wattage to keep the temperature of the coil within a limit that the user sets.
Since your devices are both variable wattage, it doesn't matter much whether you build to a 0.5 Ohm coil or a 1.0 Ohm coil. 30W at .5 ohms is the same power as 30W at 1 Ohm, it's just spread out a bit differently. So, the drain on the battery will be pretty much the same (excluding the efficiency of the circuitry).
Note that some variable wattage devices will only work with coils that are built above a certain resistance. That will be one of the specs on your device, and the maximum amp draw will be another spec.
Both GrimmGreen and IndoorSmokers said that the Nautilus (with BVC's) had replaced their Kayfuns for daily usage.
Ah, yes. THAT is the reason I never got an istick. It don't have a replaceable battery
Well...2 things you could consider...cost and convenience...
Cost...in 2 (3?) years when the iStick's battery no longer holds a charge...you'll toss it out and get another (probably $25 by then) iStick...vs...in 2 (3?) years when the 2-3 18650's you're rotating in your mech mod no longer hold a charge you'll toss them out and pay $25 for 2-3 more.
Convenience...It is convenient to just change batteries when the 18650 in your Vamo is discharged.
But...it would be unusual to use up the 2200 mAh in the iStick in one day. So you just plug in it's microUSB each night before hitting the sack...and it will be ready in the morning for another full day of vaping.
Iffy and bigbells...I agree with both of your "philosophical principles.".
I, too, am "converting" my clearomizers and cartotanks over to Nauty's with BVC's...and...
I'm "converting" my VV V3's and MVP2's over to iSticks.
As you say.."How can I settle for great when superb is available?"
I hate to admit it but I would vape away 2200 mah is about 4 or 5 hours. Tend to chain vape a lot.

Hi folks, I'm a total newbie. I've got a Vamo v5 which I'm just trying to get used to but already I think I'm going to love it.
Lost my brother in Feb due to his smoking analogs (is that the right word?). I've tried so many times to quit and failed but I'm really excited about vaping and already think I'm going to love it. Just dabbling at the moment. Working out how to use it and the technique is a bit different. First few tries I nearly choked myself.
Not very 'up' on the jargon lol but working on it, so please excuse me if I make a gaff. Look forward to getting to know new friends on here.

Well, again. My experience with the naut and bvc. Lousy. Hate with a passion. Better than the regular coil but not by much. I have 4 tanks. Used 3.
All of them totally change the flavor of all my juices. Some still tolerable but some just awful. The last one I used for about a day and all of a sudden began to get a mouthful of juice with it.
Most clearo's I find work well. But I'm still stuck with the i30 since I get the best flavor and for me, it's ease of use just works for me.
Of course, YMMV, but for me they get a huge thumbs down.

Hi Redruth! Welcome to the porch!
I don't have a Vamo, but I just wanted to say hello and to welcome you! I'm sure someone will be around pretty quickly who can answer your questions. Glad you dropped in
Hi, Redruth, and welcome to both the porch and ECF.
Sorry to hear about your brother. I think all of us here wish vaping had been a choice 30 - 40 years back... I'd smoked for somewhere over 45 years, and once I found the right combo of nic level and flavor, was done with them in about a week. Hope you have an equally quick transition - and feel free to ask for info here and elsewhere on the forum.
Some models of the V5 Vamo need to coerced into the proper mode, whether you pick VV or VW. Mine, a KSD brand, was supposed to default to RMS mode, which is preferred. But it came in MEAN, which doesn't give a smooth an output, so not as nice a vape. Now, it's initially a tad confusing, as the process is a "toggle" - what the screen will show is the mode it just got put into.
Press and hold the small left button. For a LONG time First, it will show the battery voltage (not the set output voltage, but the current state of the battery). Keep holding. After about 10 seconds or so, it will display the mode. You can release the button then. If it says MEAN, let the display blank out, then repeat, so when it gets there, it says Output RMS.
What do you have on top of that Vamo

Truth be told, I've yet to try one. With the continued uncertainty over the feds, I'm trying to keep everything in my arsenal to toppers I can recoil. A variety of glass, but all use single bottom coils. Rewound to my personal specs, with air flow bases.... and a bunch of KFs for serious vaping
Even though I cannot afford to buy vertical coils, I am vaping on one. Thanks, Mike. It really is easier, doesn't require a third hand for installation. Just stick the mandrel in the air-hole, and it holds the coil nice and straight and steady. Still breaking it in, it might have also resolved the leaking problem.
