My P3 has been mothballed since I got my JAC more than a year ago. I forgot how to get the battery indicator to show up on my screen. Help!

Hit button 5x’s, go to SET, go to TIME, punch the amt of time you want the screen to show.

Then:

Hit button 5x’s, hit WATTS or VOLTS one time, info will scroll from there, unless you have scroll off, in which case; press button repeatedly to view info.

    No Rose, not me. Didn't know about Indy Vapor shop. Thanks for the lead.

    Glad to help. Here are the adapters I was talking about. I got some but they haven't arrived yet. During our phone conversation, nice lady said she has used them and they work fine in a Vari. Also, use code of ecf for a 10% discount. I kept forgetting, could have saved quite a few bucks.

    I thought you got some from Indy Vapor Shop. They still have a few of the 18500 button top and a few of the adapters to turn flat top into button top.

    EH IMR 18500 1100mAh Battery
    those EH cells were the very first Lithium cell batteries I had access to, the 18650 size cells I had when I got my first ProVari worked great, the second ProVari wouldn't power up with them, so I opened a ticket. after a little runaround they asked me to ship that ProVari in with one of my cells, and the tech who checked it out sanded the board a little bit to allow the battery to contact the positive pin, seems the specs were ever so slightly different than the AW cells at that time and the EH cells button was a few thousandths of an inch shy of making it across the gap in the ProVari's board. those cells worked great and lasted for a couple years before I retired them...

    I think theyre done.
    that's why I grabbed 8 of them Efest cells to stockpile, I still got a bunch of 350 and 490 AW cells from ProVape that I grabbed in the end times, I generally keep 8 cells in each size in rotation, including 650 cells. When I built up my survival stash, batteries was one of my considerations, I've got like four or five years worth of batteries stockpiled...

    I see rtd vapor has efest 18500’s in flat tops. I’m guessing by the time you add one of those button top gadgets it will be too long for our Provaris.

    Looks like I’m close to being relagated to 18650 mode on my Provaris.
    not necessarily, I am pretty sure all cells are built as flat tops, the button tops are added later, electrically spot welded onto the positive terminal, I've got some purple Efest flat tops as well, they also work just fine in my classics , P3's, and REOs mini's...

    The classic and P3 will work with flat top but the 2.0 and 2.5 will not.
