Did I miss it or is there a ego thread? Looked like it but hard to know for sure?

It depends on price of the V3 for me. If it's within the realm of what I spent on my 2.5, I'll buy one. Not sure I'd spend all that much more for the features listed. The hot boost thing is intriguing for me. I use 28 gauge wire in my toppers, and many are slow to heat at over an ohm. I prefer 28 gauge for the added surface area and longevity though. I may wind up liking that hot boost part very much. My 2.5's go as high as I want them to, generally speaking. For anything but my dripper, but I rarely have the time to drip and that's truly a once in a while treat to me. I do have a couple of mechs for that. Once I know the pricing on the V3, I'll decide whether I want to put one or both of my 2.5's up for sale I guess. May be worth waiting for when Provape stops producing the 2.5 though, judging from the sentiment on this thread. Who knows. Maybe I can sell one to one of you if I clean it up and stop using one now. The one in all pink perhaps, as they've stopped that already. 
I must say that I'm disappointed that these will start with the vendors only. I don't think there's an authorized vendor in Staten Island. My favorite vendor doesn't carry them anyway. I don't really care to go to the other two. One caters to cloud chasing and the other caters to beginners and both are snooty about it. My prefered vendor is where I'm comfortable going, and his sons have talked him out of carrying Provari because they're into dna 30 devices. He likes my Provari though, and always asks to see it and hold it. He even made his sons hold it and admire the quality on it. He knows how he wants to market them, but his sons don't and it seems that they own the business as much as he does. Super friendly folks though, and even though he doesn't sell Provape, he's had his customers check out mine as well if they weren't into 30 watts. He's directed customers to Provape's site as well. Pity that the V3 won't be available online.

Wow. I feel like I just went back in time to witness the rollout of the new '58 Chevy.
Well after it is all said, I'm not that much more impressed, if at all. I will still be ordering my v2.5 Thursday. Glad I got a chance to see the p3 though now I won't wonder if I made the right choice. I will still buy a p3 in a year or so after I can order one and colors come out, assuming they do.
I don't think the 2.5 can handle most of the new stuff, so I doubt it. I'm more curious if I could get that top cap on a 2.5 instead.
-It's a cool feature (Boost). I owned both and Evic and Evic Supreme (Note the past tense), and enjoyed this feature (Boost). However, I'm anxious to see if Provape can perfect it. If a feature is a good idea, does it prevent others from using it ? If that's the case, then Evolv has the exclusive on wattage and Provape should stick to voltage.
It's a nice looking device and I'd love to have one.. but I've got too many 2.5's sitting here and they do what I want/need them to do. I'm not going to say I won't get one in the future but for now.. I'm happy with the ones I have.
I'm trying to be content with what I've accumulated and stop all the buying up

I'm sure they're going to sell a lot of them but 20 watts will be a deal breaker for a lot of people.
I'm honestly kind of shocked it's not at least 30. At 30 watts I may have considered it but 20 watts makes it a definite no for me.
It's a shame because I'd like a nice regulated tube mod that is more capable than my Provari and was looking forward to this one.
Oh well , maybe they'll release an updated board next year with a wattage limit more in tune with what Vapers actually want these days.

Yeah I'm pretty underwhelmed too. My Sigelei 20w does all that except the hot boost, and probably cost me 1/4 what a P3 is going to cost.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's going to be a great device and rock solid from the bottom up, but for the price (I'm betting on a minimum $300 price tag) it should have a lot more power than it does.

they should make it possible to "jailbreak" the device to go above 20 watts. have it be a warranty breaker, if Provape feels the the need to, but don't limit it to 20w. I say this as someone who isn't into the cloud stuff or sub-ohming (I vape from 7 - 22 watts).
Provape doesn't understand one thing, but it's a big thing: the market they made their name in no longer exists. the market is now flooded with devices. literally every week new devices (that work) are introduced.
I was really looking forward to this after seeing Phil's factory videos a few months back. however, I can't find any reason to buy this over the new Vapor Shark rDNA, literally none. I prefer a tube over a box, but this device is even bigger than the current Provari (and the Vapor Shark looks to be smaller in 18650 than the P3 in 18350).
I also saw, either here or on Facebook, a Provape rep say (paraphrase) "We're making a device for the mainstream, not..." no, at $200, $250 or, as some have speculated, north of $300 you aren't targeting the "mainstream."
I would pay up to around $230-ish for this device, and maybe even a bit more, but I won't if it comes with training wheels (that can't be removed). I'll be perfectly happy ordering a GP Paps Lux or a Vapor Shark. neither have "IQ" or "HotShot Boost" but at least they'll fit in a pocket.
also--Provape cites "safety." safety as in what? how much the liquid is being heated? in the amperage limit? they should clarify this a bit, because they're basically saying every other company in the industry is being unsafe.
anyways, Provape reminds me of Cadillac in the late '90s. unfortunately I don't think the P3 will be their Escalade or CTS.
(even the folks posting on the official Provape thread announcing the P3 don't sound enthused.)

They are 2 completely different devices. After the fact they are tubes and hold batteries they are not even close. Evic goes to 30, p3 is 20. Evic can't down regulate, provari can. Evic is much bigger. 2 completely different chips and chip manufacturer. One will last a lifetime the other will like a year.. Can u guess which one?

also, the Evic doesn't have "IQ™" or "HotShot Boost™."
are you sure the Evic is bigger? P3 looks like the newest entry in the 'vape baton' category.

Anything regulated is 'safe' so long as it's built and designed well. I don't care if it's 20 watts or 120 watts, they're equally as 'safe'.
