Can someone explain what this one is exactly, when would you need to replace it? In other words, do I need it?

ProVari P3, Procyon, Radius Replacement Display / LCD - New! | eBay

That's the display screen behind the window. It's been said now and again, these displays have about a 10 year lifespan. That remains to be seen, I suppose. The caveat, if one of your screens did die ... are you or someone you know competent to tale the "P" apart, desolder the screen and solder in the new one and reassemble the "P".

With all these parts suddenly available, it indicates to me Bill is out. Hey, if I was tech savoy, didn't have two dozen ProVari's between the two us and not supposed to be dead in three years, I would snatch up them boards.
I don't see any boards, just some display screens??

The Efest red is a decent battery.
I have had a couple of 18350s for a few years and they are still going strong.

You're welcome.

Thanks Classy ... just ordered 6x 18350 and 6x 18490's. And geez, I had a $3.75 credit I could apply from the 'Night of the Vixon' sales.

Just now snagged a kayfun V4 from that ProVape parts guy, listing said open box? Never tried this attie before, anyone here use them?
I know some people who still use it (HBCorpse). They swear by them. I never got one because it was just too many parts. I have Lites, V5, Mini V3s, and Prime.

It was only about 23 bucks landed so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a go...

Spent the day cutting brush, we have a row of monster shrubs that grow like crazy, was standing on a step ladder with an electric hedge trimmer chopping about four feet off the tops of them things, then onto the lopers to cut the thick branches down to a manageable level. Fun stuff, got huge piles of stuff to burn once it dries out a bit. I love the fall.

I was not going to say anything, but really hated that one. Like Bronze said too many parts, and no mater how I tried I just could not match the flavor on a KFL with it. I never got any of the other ones after that, until I got the Prime, I love the prime it is a great Atty. :|

Sounds like a chainsaw job. More power!

    We got one of those weed whacker combo things that has bush cutters, hedge trimmer and a pole saw that is perfect for the job you described. Love that thing.

    Got a free pass from the wife tonight, she said tomorrow is the last good weather day this week, and if I want to take a ride I should do it tomorrow...so I am planning on crashing early and taking an extra long ride on the trail in the AM.

    :censored:
    A chainsaw will be employed in knocking these things back, that is step two ;)
    I took down a dead oak last spring. It was too close to the house. I burned the limbs because I dropped the tree on top of a burn pile so very little hauling. I cut the lower half in firewood lengths and just stacked them. Figured I’d wait for cooler weather to split em. That happened a few days ago. I have firewood coming out my :censored:. And I have a dead, 100-foot poplar I still need to take down. Kinda hoping a hurricane or nasty storm takes it down for me.

    I've have a couple original's and a couple Tobeco clones. Hard to tell the real from the fake. I liked them when I used them. Yes they have a lot of parts but you're not tearing it completely down to re-wick/re-coil, etc. So to me it was 'mute' about all the pieces. I enjoyed them when I used them. I just moved on to KFV5's and Primes. Disclaimer: I'm not a flavor chaser, been vaping the same 2 flavors for 7 years now. If the atty doesn't leak and produces adequate vapor and is relatively easy to wick and coil, I'm a happy vaper.

    The only real issue with them was for folks using them on a TC mod. The spring in the 510 connection series of parts interfered with the TC board recognizing the slight resistence change of TC wires. A gold replacement spring was the solution, but as I remember even that wasn't foolproof for TC vapers. Again, not a problem for me 'cause I'm a Kanthal and watts kind of guy.
