Authentic ones. Last of them anyways. I did try out new AW IMRs 18490s too but to no avail. The indicator fluctuates a lot and when empty, removing and replacing the bottom cap brings it back up to about 40%.

What are the voltage readings of the battery, using a multimeter, when this occurs?
Jim
It's a production unit. I'm just using the cap that came with it. Spring seems plenty strong...
Yep. Authentic...
The battery they recommend are AW IMRs.
And "you can now use flat top batteries" BUT not hybrid ones which is what the VTC5 and LG are, as they might affect trick the P3 and lastly "issue will be resolved by switching to a true IMR battery" i.e. AW.
So what is your take on their reply?

Hey! Don't knock the vamo. I've had mine for a year and a half (v2). Hasn't failed me yet. Never had to clean the threads or contacts since day one. Still look squeaky clean to me. The provari on the other hand, requires weekly maintenance.
Each device will have its own quirks. I just try my best to live with them or overcome them.
Anyone knows why the threads and contacts on the provari get black carbon/gunk?? on them so quickly as compared to the vamo?
I owned a Vamo6 for 15minutes and it fell over on the coffee table and the board in it blew. Replaced it with a Provari.
The Improved P3 battery end cap can be found here. Have a look and compare it with what you have.

Confusing and bogus. Will be interesting to see how this plays out with the newly purchased units going out soon.
One thing I have noticed with my v2.5 Titanium model, is that it does not do this at all. When the LED blinks, it is dead. Unscrewing the cap and tightening it back up might get another half a puff. Was quite a shock considering my first 2x v2 Provari's were just as you describe.

Really? How so?
Batteries in any vaporizer need to have amperage flow. The Provi monitors this flow to ensure a safe and consistent vape.
If the battery has a protection circuit, or cannot deliver a constant amperage flow, the Provi senses it as a Dead or Dying Battery.
And again I say, How is this Bogus?
Jim
I would stretch the spring slightly and clean all connection surfaces, as well as try another battery.
If those things fail, I would contact Provape. They will help. They want you to be satisfied.
Jim
I just ran out of battery power on my P3.
Removed the battery cap and reinstalled it. I got one more puff. That's all.
My units IQ was reading 89.

What's the voltage reading on the battery and what settings were you vaping at?

3.238 VDC Now, in its depleted state.
It is a new AW Battery 18490 1100 mha that has been vaped all day.
I have vaped it at about 6 watts today.
I removed the battery from the P3 measured it at 3.238.
Moved it to a V2.5 with a freshly replaced main board and top cap.
Vaped it until it died, maybe 10 vapes. Battery reads 3.019.
Hope it helps, Jim

Sony VTCs and other high discharge hybrids don't have protection circuits (such circuits would in fact negate the high discharge potential). It is a bs answer by Provape, sadly.
Still, the answer from Provape was in response to a question explicitly naming Sony vtcs and LGs, and the answer gave bad information about hybrid batteries. I'm just disappointed that Provape gave such a bad answer as they surely know better. It seems obvious that there's something wrong with that particular P3, and everything I've heard about Provape and Provaries (is that the correct plural?) is that the customer service is second to none.
