Why is a Provari P3 even a viable choice.

I care more about the size than it only being 20 watts. If it wasn't 23 mm and wasn't taller than the v2.5 I would buy it. What kind of technology these days gets bigger. All they needed to do was make the P3 just like the 2.5, but fit a 18490 in the same size as the 18350, screen upgrade and 20 watts. Then the P3 would be awesome. I've often thought the Provari was pretty big as is and Provape made the P3 even bigger lol.

I'd be surprised if many on here who own ProVari actually use clearos on them... I certainly don't need a P3. I'd be fine with just a couple ProVape-1s, but that doesn't mean I won't get a P3 or two... I like well made products, especially ones made in America, which pretty much eliminates innokin for me...

I like Americans working, I pay enough taxes as it is. Provape is good for our economy, outside of all of the obvious benefits of the product itself...

As Vape360 said---

A little side tidbit about the P3 chip. It's a 32-bit ARM system with 128kb memory running 5 million instructions per second. Anyone who says the P3 is outdated doesn't understand what's under the hood. We are not aware of any electronic cigarette on the market with that kind of processing power.

Pretty sure this is the reason for the slightly larger size...

If you don't get it, than you won't get it. I am currently vaping at around 65 watts on a mech and I'm not burning my juice. I have a dna 30 mod and a ProVari v 2.5. I don't use the ProVari much anymore, but it is good to keep around for a backup and it is plenty of power for the Russian whenever I want to use that. I have the DNA 30 for when I want to pop on the Fogger and go up to 22-25 watts. I have my mechs and drippers for when I want a more intense vape so I can build lower ohms and go higher watts.

If you want to vape at 20 watts or lower (as many people do, and even many who vape at higher watts do from time to time) there is not a better mod to get you there than one made by ProVape. You can do it cheaper, but eventually you will get tired of replacing the cheap mods or the power drop off as the batteries wear down and you will want a mod that hits right every time you push the button. If that happens to you, it will be there. If it doesn't, nobody is forcing you to buy it.

Thanks for pointing out that thread. Reading all which ProVape wrote in that post made me chuckle.

"If we wanted to make a 200+ watt device we could, but it's not our segment. We like to sleep at night knowing that we offer a safe device that is not pushing the limits. You are correct in that some devices on the market say they can do high wattage and they can't, so it's false marketing".

Imagine a company which puts it's customers safety first.

I own two. Will buy it because it's flawless and has the best warranty in the industry. You'll have replace your unit way before I have to.
Provape feels 20 watts is max for safety. Being that I vape at 4.5 volts on 1.8 coil why would I want waste money on a less dependable mod? When
I fill my tank and off I go for the day. That's why it's a Provari.
How many times can your mod fall off a roof and work like its new.
Good luck with this thread.

Just out of curiosity .... What's your mod doing on the roof in the first place?
Probably if my mod fell off the roof, I'd be lying dead besides it :)

I dont know if this will add anything to the discussion but, these are my thoughts

My opinion changed while reading the thread, originally I was psssh this wouldn't do only 20 watts and for 300ish $$ what a waste! Thinking about that tho, I have purchased 2 high wattage mods in the past 2 months at 100$ a piece, so if you only need 20 watts for a vape that you prefer, and want a mod that will not break AND has a warranty it seams like a no brainier.

That being said, if I am only using clearos and carts that are 5-25$ I would feel silly putting them on such and expensive and well built product.

PS I got to use one at a local B&M but its just not me thing.

Perhaps. I never saw VV as a limitation myself, as it's really just 6 of one, half a dozen of another.



Totally agree with you and no matter what, it wouldn't have been for everybody. I do think they would have opened themselves up to many more potential buyers, however, if they just would have gone up to 30Watts (not 100 watts, not 50 watts, not sub-ohmers, and cloud chasing fanatics as keeps being mentioned). And I don't believe for a minute that it's for "safety reasons". The folks at provape are smart guys, they could have figured it out, but it seems they took the path of least resistance.

Well that being said ya' know the production P3' have yet to be released, and the Evolv chip set sports the 30w output...all that being said it may come to pass that Provape release the final version at 30watts?

I would think that this would be a minor tweak in the chip set electronics that Provape would want to make if they are actually trying to be competitive.

As many of us have said, "we have several P2.5'" and it will take a monumental improvement to justify spending $200.00 on another mod just to say "I have the latest and greatest"

Now for new Provape owners or those considering a Provari, I would indeed wait to see what the production P3' offer.

Just my humble opinion!

And lest we forget this.....Explosion

Frankly, I find it irresponsible beyond belief to recommend mechs with rebuildables to brand new vapers without finding out what they want to accomplish and how much they know about ohms law, building and safety.

If you are trying to quit smoking, the safest, easiest solution is the best, IMO...If that vaper then wants to progress to RBAs, RTAs and RDAs, then it will happen of it's own accord.

If you are competing, that is a different story. I sometimes feel we need a forum section dedicated to the people who are not here to quit smoking but to compete in contests.

We are here to educate and help people to lead a healthier life through vaping. Whatever gets you there in a way that fits your life style and helps you give up cigarettes is the right solution.

Personally, I have no desire to burn through tons of juice and battery life to get a different experience because I am quite happy with my rig now. I will buy a P3 because I want one. I like the look, the options, the menu, and if I want to go a little higher wattage. I will.

There are markets for everything under the sun. Provape has a strong market of vapers who want a safe, no hassle, consistent and quality vaping experience.

Over 99% of the components in a Provari are manufactured by American companies. This creates a lot of work and good will in my book. Personally, I have no desire to give any more of my hard earned cash to China for products that I have to replace over and over again.

We have American companies that make Mechs too...if or when I buy a mech I can assure you that it will be from an American company. Heck, outside of the pretty shell, vent and battery engineering, mechs are simple devices from an electronics standpoint.

Besides, an intro Provari 2.5 kit is not all that expensive when you add up all of the costs of the things you really should have to be safe and run a mech.

We'll see how much a P3 kit costs....

FTR, averaging a carton of cigarettes at 35.00 @ one per week. for the 1,976 weeks I have smoked; I have spent roughly $69,160 dollars on cigarettes. This does not include medical visits for sinus infections, bronchitis, etc.

Are you really going to tell me that it is illogical, stupid or ridiculous to spend 279.00 dollars ( roughly a months worth of cig money) on something that is so easy and good that I can quit investing in Cancer? Even if you do, I will ignore it.

The great thing about freedom is that it is not defined by one person's standards....
