Provari 3 beta on sale

[Mrsmac]

Hi all saw this elsewhere and not seen it mentioned here, so for all those interested apparently the beta version of the new P3 is on sale at Vapegear for £179.99 apparently provape have said that the only difference likely to be between the beta and the released is the diamond shape on the tube and that they I'll provide any updates needed if there are any highly reported tweets needed.

Not getting one myself as I'm looking into the Dani but I know there are those here who are considering the P3

Hey mrsmac247

+1 on the Dani epic bit of kit, only to issues pin not adjustable and the menu takes a bit of getting used to, so many menu choices and only two digit display. But honestly really really solid devices. Love mine, although not currently used, it did not leave my hand for months.

Also thanks for the heads up ordered one :0)

Spotted the P3 on Vapegear this morning, stock was at 16 and couldn't help myself! Stock now at 9 so still some available!
I couldn't find any discussion of differences so that's reassuring Mrsmac

I've also been considering the dicodes dani, but the self-adjusting centre pin, and provari loyalty swayed me... If I can get rid of some gear, may be able to justify the 14500 dicodes teleganos though!

Just for those who have gap phobia (like myself) most if not all atties don't sit flush on the dicodes....if they did i would snap one up straight away.

Stock seems to be moving fast, will enjoy watching the reviews. Thanks for the heads up Super-Shiny wonder if any of our modders could solve that, also as I mainly use aerotanks and kayfuns I have studied the kayfun fix lol

Without having one in the hand and looking at it would be hard to tell, plus there is always the problem of opening it up without damaging it if the 510 needs replacing/adjusted.

A costly look and tell.

Oh.My.God. Amazingly speedy delivery from VapeGear, I'm holding my new P3 now and it is a thing of beauty!
Menu system complicated right at first, but quickly learned how to manipulate it, and the extra information it shows is very handy. Some great little touches, like random LED colour! Love being able to see battery life, resistance and voltage/wattage whenever firing. Threads are as silky smooth as you expect from Provape, and atty sits flush on the adjusting centrepin. Very pleased!

How you finding the P3?

I really like it! I've gotten used to the menu and can scroll through it as quickly as I need. I like how configurable it is, finally with VW, so I can set and forget, and the boost function is handy when you want some extra oomph
The design is as solid as I expect from Provape, sits comfortably in the hand, and that self adjusting centre pin really pays for itself - no possiblity of over tightening, and everything sits flush. It's super quiet, no rattlesnake. I like that I can use any of my 18*** batteries, and it comes with all the extensions, as well as being compatible with all the old extensions.

I did have a problem where it would occasionally read 'EMPTY' when I knew the battery was nearly full - removing and reinserting the battery showed it at proper percentage. I emailed keef who said that he hadn't heard that one and advised to report it to Provape. They got back very quickly and suggested stretching the spring, and I haven't had that problem since doing so (I should have remembered this as I had to do the same thing on my v2).

the one thing I don't particularly like is that the screen comes on every time you fire it. I tend to keep my finger over it so that it doesn't glare in my face. I'd like this to be optional, so it can be switched off, but i can see why it does it - shows battery life, resistance, wattage or voltage and if you're using boost or not.
I wrote this then played with it a bit and found the option to turn it off, or change how long it stays on! Cool! Apparently not found all of the tricks yet!

It's replaced the v1 I've been using since September 2012 as my at home device, and after a week of heavy use, I am still very satisfied. It's definitely a worthy successor, and a much bigger leap in functionality than between v1-v2/2.5. I think if you like a provari, you'll like this!

I'll be interested in seeing what top cap accessories they come out with - an integral adaptor for eGo for instance. Definitely happy that I took the gamble and went for this, though if am curious to see if they make any changes in the production model.
