I went to try the P3 today. It was hard to give it back. If you change your wattage or voltage often you will likely think it’s fiddlely. I rarely change settings so it’s good for me.
I took with me a Kayfun with a 1ohm coil. And a Nautilus and a ProTank2, each with a 1.8 ohm head. Had I not missed that part about an adjustable center pin I would have also taken my Magma. However, the owner of the store says the long 510 is no longer an issue.
I like the way it looks. It reminds me of the simple design of the v2 satin silver. The Made in US and ProVape engraving on the top cap is small and unobtrusive. I like that the extra sections are included to get all 3 sizes.
I figured out the menu after a minute or two of playing with it. The choice of button color is fun, and does not apply to the screen color. To change volts or wattage is a similar button press as before. It’s in -0.1 increments.
The boost feature was nice with the Kayfun. It fires high for a bit to heat the coil, then goes to what you set. With the 2.5 I have noticed the battery shows voltage drop immediately after it’s changed, and sometime lower ohmed coils are a bit wonky. Not so with the P3. I fired the 1ohm coil at 15w with no errors. And I like that the battery remaining shows on the screen.
The Nautilus did well too. And the ProTank2 was fine, too, but looks weird with the new endcap.
The only thing I did not play with is the Profiles. I would probably set 1 for each topper I typically use on it. My coils remain similar each time I build one or change a head. That would take care of some of the fiddling needed to choose one’s voltage or wattage.
Overall, I really like it and will be buying one.
