No offense, but you were probably the type of person who would have said "MSDOS can do everything Macintosh/Windows can do, I don't need a mouse and fancy little icons to use a computer." Believe me, there were a lot of traditionalists when the PC world moved from command line to graphical user interface who decried the change calling it a gimmick. Turned out to be the most significant step the computer industry ever took, and opened up computing to the masses.
One important thing you aren't considering when you discount innovations like VW or Evolv's supposed temp board, is accessibility. YOU may be an expert in fine tuning your Provari to particular voltages with particular resistances. But a novice doesn't have a clue what any of these things mean. VW made that much more accessible, and temp control has the potential to make it even more accessible. Technology is supposed to make things easier and reduce to cognitive overhead. When technology can get out of the way and allow someone to just accomplish what they want to accomplish without mastering intricate details, that's called progress.
I was essentially a Newbie when I got my ProVari. I remembered enough about electricity from science classes in High School to know that an OHM is a unit of resistance, and the lower the number, the less resistance, and vice versa. I knew that a lower resistance coil would need less power, and a higher resistance coil would need more power.
Other than that, I really haven't bothered with mathematics and the like unless I really want to know what wattage I'm cranking at. Even then, I might be doing that math wrong.
I just adjust my ProVari to taste, if I have it too high and it starts to taste burnt, I know enough from reading the forums to know that I need to back off the voltage. If my tank is flooding, not vaping, and the flavor is muted, I know I need to up the voltage. Plain and simple. Easy Peasy Lemon Cheesy Squeeze.
To me, the ability to change the wattage is just the same as changing the voltage. They don't do the same thing of course, but they essentially function the same way, only you change your wattage and tell people what wattage you're at, I change my voltage and tell them what voltage I'm at.
Having both modes doesn't seem that necessary to me. But if I wanted both modes, or wanted to change my wattage for whatever reason (my ProVari does that for me automatically when I change the voltage), I would just go out and pick up an iTaste MVP 2.0, which I already owned one of before buying the ProVari.
There are devices coming out, from what I hear, that allow you to vary the Amperage. To me that seems like a recipe for disaster. If I remember correctly, the Amperage is the amount of electrical PRESSURE flowing through a circuit. More pressure, the faster it flows. It would seem to me like you're just asking to blow something up by giving someone the ability to change their amperage. But I'm not an electrician, just a vape enthusiast, so I don't really know anything.
But I really don't think the P3 will include it. But if they do, I'm sure it'll still be under the simple one button menu.
