ProVari v2 and v2.5 will only fire above 1 ohm ... the P3, Radius, and Procyon will fire at .5 and above.

No worries. You've repeatedly said you don't have one.No way you would have known.
Really, I didn't know they'd even fire.
Yup, they do, but most reliably on a seasoned coil. I run z-atties, Nahualons and Krakens on mine, and it take hours of slow pulsing new coils before they're vape-ready.

Interesting for sure!
I see in your signature you used IBT's...I will sure miss those. I still have some cartos, and can run mine, but that's my kind of vape.
Yes, I know...dark ages...whatever. I loved those.
Then don't get one.Problem solved.
Vape what you like. That's what it's all about...at least for a little while longer.
Way back when I started, when I wanted more than my Johnson Creek Vea, I wanted/needed something that was idiot proof...something that would override possible "user error"I watched P.Busardo's review of them, and he sold me on it. I had DH watch part of it with me, and his comment was "why wouldn't you get that one", then I sprung the pricing on him.
But, I went for safety back then (Mar. 2013) because it was all so new to me.
I won't sub ohm vape, so I'm good with them.
But please EVERYONE, vape what you enjoy, while we can.
I've got 2 Provari's. One is a v1.0 and the other is whatever version first came with a Blue LED.
Liked them Both and used them both for Quite awhile. Just kinda drifted away from them for VW Box Mods.
I tend to Build in the .6 ~ 1.1 Ohm range. And use wattages in the 15 ~ 20 Watt range.
Been organizing my vaping stuff to get ready for the extra stuff I have coming in...boy do I have a lot of stuff! Most is glass bottles that I went overboard on when I started DIY and thought I needed to make 10 bottles at a time LOL But I also had numerous plastic bottles as well. I divided everything up into plastic bags and put them away.
Also found a wonderful wooden box that is perfect for storing my extra stuff. I had aquired 7 full Kayfun lites and 7 of the bell cap ones as well. Been stuck on Kayfuns for the last 2 years....just love them. The wire and cotton Im sure will not be affected but ordered a couple of spools of my kanthal (Just in case) Still working on my bag of Japanese cotton for the last 2 years and still not halfway through so pretty good in that department.
Trying my best to downsize and keep this simple but you do tend to aquire a lot of stuff in the four years that I have been vaping.

When reg mods die I wonder how hard soldering a wire to bypass the board and turn it into a mech would be.
Here I thought I'd yank your chain, and you were yankin' mine the whole time.
I've wondered that myself.
I believe you can take the P2.5 down to 1.1 or 1.2 but I target my builds to 1.4 to leave a little room to make sure it doesn't get temperamental about it.
I picked up a total of 4 mini dragons but two went to a friend. They have the look and feel of a nicely machined mech. Only problem is that the polished SS scratches easily.
It is equally possible to take a mini to 18650 size with 2 extender rings plus the stock flat end cap. Just so people!e know the possibilities. In theory using the extended cap plus extension ring eliminates a threaded coupling and may be electrically better but the P3 uses two extension rings to go to 18650 so I figure it should be a moot point.
Probably relatively easy. I'd be afraid of a short though. Even though my solder skills are acceptable I would be nervous. At least with a Pico the vent would be down and away.
I've never had a reg chip go bad on me. It's always been the internal batt, fire button, or 510. I did drop a zmax in salt water at a beach. Instant death. My wife fell into a lake with an istick in her pocket. Instant mod death there too.
I miss those Ikenvape cartos for sure. I have a couple boxes and IBTs in the stash, and look at them wistfully. Nothing comes close to the flavor, nothing.
That thread had a good explanation of why it probably pays to target 1.4 ohms minimum, in order to avoid triggering the current (3.5 amp) limit before hitting the max power around 14.5W

Sounds like we are both Equal Opportunity Chain Yanker's (EOCY's).
Here's an Old Photo of what I used for a Long Time. A Provari + CE2.
ETA: I just looked at the Upload Date on that jpg. Its July 29th, 2012.
Man... Things sure have Changed since then. LOL
I still use some carto's and tanks. I have 13 mods running, and three of those I use cartos on. I'm building up quite a stash on them, buying them up when a vendor is blowing them out for cheap.
Nothing I've found.
The RM2 atty isn't bad. It's a good vape.
Oh yes. I usually see it coming, but you gotted me.Sounds like we are both Equal Opportunity Chain Yanker's (EOCY's).

Wow, that was about a month and a half before I started vaping.
Lookie at that juicy carto.
I debated buying up some cartos, I think I have about 60 left, short & long ones...
I have three Reo Grands that have Chalice III's on them, and one Grand running an RM2, and really the RM2 is just as good a vape to me.
The price is great! Yes end cap, button batt, I think 1.5 would be better, but ask the experts, I am still new to building coils
you could get a P3 they even sub ohmDamn... That would kinda put a Crimp in My vaping style.
I did get one for a higher end Provari for my stash. I have a Classic too, not sure how low it goes as I have not had to time to test all my new shiny toys yet! LOL
Have you ever heard of anyone sub-ohm-ing with a kick?
No only, some get a kick from sub ohming and some would like to kick sub ohmers?
...
you could get a P3 they even sub ohm
I've considered it a Few times.
But for the Price of one P3, I was able to check Many other items off my Need to Buy List.
