What do you want to see on a version III ProVari?

I am very sorry (Will Robinson), but that does not compute. ;)

Lol.

To be fair though , I used my Provari mini every day for a very long time but I barely use it now. As I said earlier , for myself it just comes down to a lack of power and I'm really hoping for at least 50 watts on the V3 for me to even consider getting it.

I'm starting to feel like a lucky-leftover, being that I'm still marvelously happy at 8-11 watts. My batteries and juice last me a very long time, and now the only thing that drives me (toward a mod) is aesthetics. I wait for nothing.

I can get drunk on about two drinks too. Life is good (and relatively cheap too!).

I rarely venture over 8 watts myself. The 6-8 watt range is perfectly fine with me. Nothing can down-regulate like a Provari ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone is vaping high wattages and amps these days. That aside the fact of the matter is that most regulated devices these days start at 30w and and some go to 120w. I feel that within a year the devices coming out of china like the Segeleis of the world will be at 50w regulated and I don't want to see Provape left behind. I love my Provari for what it is , and after watching Phil's inside look video I highly respect the Provape guys for all they do. It would be a shame if the version three, which in theory is their device to last the next 2-3 years, was left in the dust within a year of it coming out.

I guess it comes down to what the large percentage of the vaping market is looking for, which is a question I couldn't even begin to answer.

I don't even know how much of the market is connected to ECF. The only measurement I have is inside my own family and friends. In the family we are seven vapers. Only one of us is even registered on ECF, making it 14%. If I add in the three friends that vape, none of whom are ECF members, it's only 10%. Is that indicative of the market? I have NO IDEA. Then try to determine the percentage of ECF members who are looking for high power. Another "NO IDEA" from me. These things are all relevant to the point, and I'd have to guess that Provape did some form of actuarial analysis before committing themselves to their next generation.

With 40% of my own collection being overpowered (for my wants/needs), I don't envision buying the next gen anyway. IF I'm an indicator (and I'm not saying that I am), would they truly be left in the dust if they maxed out at 20w (I'm making an assumption that such might be a target)?

What would truly make me happy is if one day we'd actually be able to answer some of the questions I've presented here. That would mean the industry survived the current onslaught of legislation/regulation that its up against.

In the meantime it's certainly fun watching this race-to-a-higher-power (for lack of a better term), even if I am just sitting in the background.

Vaping away, on the thin ice of a new (vaping) day. :matrix:

Just thought of this today.

How about unifying the mini and standard line, and offer a base mini-sized that comes with a extension TUBE to make it 18490 size + a flat end cap. Then give us the option of buying an additional extension tube to make it 18650 size.

I'm just thinking it would be handy as hell, just because as much as I love my provari, taking my 18650 + kayfun out with me for a night of partying was pretty awful. Would've been sweet if I could just swap it to 18350 mode.

I'd settle for an additional extra long extension cap for the mini to get it to 18650.

But I agree in general terms. Why not have one size main tube and extensions of one sort or another to cover all the 18XXX battery options?

Exactly. I'm not convinced at all that they'd be "left behind" by not offering high power levels. While ECF isn't likely a very large percentile of the market, it's probably close to a cross-section or a core sample, if you will. And judging from the number of active members here the sub-ohm/cloud chasing/high power users, while a significant number & being very vocal about their preferences, still aren't a majority of the market. Their continued sales & company growth are a rather good indicator that they're having no problems staying competitive in the market. It may not be the device for everyone, but no device is or ever will be.

Time will tell , but I don't think any company in any industry wants to be the one offering a product with a feature that isn't as good as their competitors.

How about more efficient electronics that can power the device for much longer between charges? That would be very sweet.

I've mentioned earlier some of the other "practical" and cosmetic things I would mind seeing -- but if the internals had a broader range for some of the higher wattage vapers AND was more efficient. WOW.
