1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    Basially 2 Major Downturns,

    max 5A Out
    max 6V Out

    Between 0.8 - 1.8 Ohms the P3 is very good, with Atomizers above or below its sucks balls cause of its max Amp, max Watts, max Volts Limit.

    with the limit of 0.7 Ohms, and the max out of 5A the provari is often not even capable of putting out the 20 Watts

    lots of clearos have 2.3 Ohms, cause of the Volt Limit the max output is never more then 15 Watts

    or 3 Ohms Cartomizers, with the max Volts limit the P3 can put out only 12 Watts,

    hence once more, the P3 is only a usable device if you plan to vape only between 0.8 - 1.8 Ohms Atomizers.

    Yep, and with the technology of this new temperature control system with the dna 40 and i guess more will follow yet again ProVari will be left behind the times...
    And how many years did it take for V 3 to come out after V2.5...

    I played it save, so I had mine hand carried by somebody else to Thailand because I don't want to loose a mod at customs...

    I am sure they would love to get their picky hands on one!

    Yes, and I have no clue why!

    Somehow they must have gotten a great deal by ProVape!

    Well, i heard a different Story LOL

    to me it was told when the first Provari hit the Marktet is was by far a the most superior product nothing came even close .... so it was well worth spending the amount of money. The past 2 years they where not developing it any further just changing the colors. So basially expectations for the new Provari where in fact very high, they are slow, but when they do something its outstanding superiour product nothing comes even close .... and thats what most vapers expect the next provari to be.
    Phil, basially helped with that hype but the current versions as it s sold are basially a good average, but nowhere close to top, and very very far away from being a superior product. So from what i heard is that most of the People are disappointed what they where doing the past years. They still say they would buy the P3, but most of them said they would buy 1 at max and it the past they had 3+ Provaris.

    I depends how you look at them if they are behind the curve, but there are three groups of vapers at the moment...

    The ones that want to sub ohm and need 50+ watt and buy all kinds of Chinese mods with a lot of Boom effect!

    The ones that want to have a whole range of options to use their RDA and RBA's and buy top quality devices like a Vapor Shark or some great looking clones with a lot of Boom effect between the 20 and 50 Watt or mechanical mods.

    The next group is the more conservative group that don't need the 20+ Watt models and are happy vaping at 10 to 15 Watt, they buy a whole range of good quality devices or cheap clones with a Boom effect even mechnical mods.

    I am vaping at the moment between 3.4 and 3.6 Volt with my devices!

    I don't want big clouds and I am not looking for a warm vape!

    Everybody hoped that the ProVari would come out with a 30 Watt and now a temperature controlled one but if you are not into that and want the best quality mod until 20 Watt ProVari is the one!

    The people that are buying them at the moment are the ones that mostly use them for going to work/ shopping/travelling when you want a reliable mod to take with you!

    I know they also have an rDNA at home to do other things with!

    Are they behind the curve...it depends how you like to vape!

    Are they still top quality, dependable, reliable, solid when they get abused, dropped! Hell yeah!

    I still think they're behind the curve. There is no doubt whatsoever that ProVape makes great products, just watching that video of their workshop on TYJ makes that abundantly clear. The original Provari had great features though, stuff that was cutting edge at the time. Everything they've released since then have been solid enough devices, but nothing groundbreaking. With the P3, they've had a very, very long time to work on something to make people drool, and I really think they missed the mark.

    For one, everyone wants a box mod these days. People are starting to realize they don't need to walk around holding phalluses to their mouths all day long. A Provari box mod would be awesome, a real step up from a Vaporshark or Hana, especially with that Cerakote.

    Second, obviously, is temperature control. I can see it being a requirement when the FDA/EU/UNICEF/PETA/IDK regulations come out, and maybe even a switch from nickel to titanium wire. Every study they've done bashing e-cigs has been based on overheating your juice, temperature control eliminates that problem. Really, once mass production goes into effect you could have temperature control in an eGo with no controls other than your airflow and the fire button. With as long as it takes ProVape to put out a new product, I can see this happening before a P4 comes out.

    All the points you talk about (use them for going to work/ shopping/travelling when you want a reliable mod to take with you) are handled by a Vaporshark as well, plus you can charge them up with a micro-USB instead of bringing along extra batteries or a charger. Considering a VS DNA is half the price and half the size of a Provari, I think many more people would go for the VS.

    I do agree with you on one thing though. I vape at 8.4 watts on my Kayfun with Moo Juice. I would vape the same on a DNA-30, a DNA-40, a Provari, or an iTaste VV. I don't need 40 watts from my VS DNA, it isn't worth having to charge it up for 4 hours after every 1 hour of use.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd love to get a Provari. I want an absolutely rock-solid mod that I never had to worry about. I just don't want it to be outdated before I place the order.

    I always appreciate your opinion Ryan to put everything into perfect perspective.

    And that is why I wrote that everybody hoped they would come out with a 30 Watt mod and now would have temperature control, but they don't and probably it will take some time before they will!

    But that doesn't mean the quality is not there like many of the clones or the 50 Watt plus models where it is a hit and run with the devices and actually at the end mostly a waste of money!

    I think ProVari, like Vaper Shark, still stands for quality and I will admit that Vaper Shark is even in price more attractive than ProVari with more knowhow and research in the latest technology! ProVari is trying to keep up but uses their own technology and doesn't like to outsource this and therefore lacks behind and I am afraid they will be for a longer period of time if they don't change their management style or drive to be the best and most innovative! Still is it then behind the curve when a lot of people vape around 10 Watts when some people like to vape 30 Watts plus, the new rage?

    At the end we both agree that how many Watts actually means nothing, but a good quality vape means everything in vaping!
