I'm not a beta tester, but I did post this in the official P3 thread yesterday............
So, I got to play and vape on the P3 beta at my B&M. Somehow they didn't get the message that customers might come in and ask to try one. One of the guys who works there has had it as his personal device for a few days. But he graciously let me have it. And I have to admit I was VERY impressed. Here are my thoughts:
1. Build Quality: Just what you'd expect from a Provari. Feels great in my hands and everything screws in smoothly.
2. Menu System: I don't recall who posted in another thread that they thought it was awful, but I have to say I thought quite the opposite. The guy just handed me the device and I found the system to be quite intuitive and very simple to operate. I had to slow the screen down as I wanted to become familiar with the menu options, but they're easy to figure out, without a manual. The guy who was using it had it set to VW, and I quickly changed it to VV as I wanted to use the same setting I have on my 2.5. So, it was simple to switch to VV and set it to the same setting as I was using. Next, I wanted to see what the boost is all about. I was a little confused on this option, but I think I set the boost to about a second. I thought it interesting the P3 is a 3 click on as opposed to 5 click on with the 2.5. I liked that you can leave the screen on when you vape and look at your settings real time, or you can turn the screen off completely. And I liked that you can choose from a number of colors for the button, plus there's an option to let the device rotate through the colors with each push. That's kind of gimmicky, as I don't want my button to glow pink - EVER, but someone else might like pink. LOL
3. The Vape: Typically great Provari, but that boost, man that boost. It works. It works great. The flavor and vapor on my Nautilus Aspire, running BVC coils was even better.
4. My Verdict: A great device and now I want it even more than just from what I've read. I'm not a sub-ohmer, so I don't care if it's limited to 20 watts. That's more than enough power for the way I vape and then some. SO:
COME ON PROVAPE. RELEASE THESE THINGS ALREADY!!
