Provari P3 Firmware Updates

[VE Jason]

We've been testing the latest V38 upgrade for the past few weeks and it has now been fully released by Provape.

Details are:

* Support for .5 ohm tanks - The P3 now supports tanks down to .5 ohms. Amperage limit increased.

* Low Battery Alert - When the device gets down to 18% left in the battery, the light will slowly flash yellow to alert you that it's getting low.

* CheckAll (1 second) - The CheckAll feature now has the option to set it to 1 second. This allows for a quick look at your settings without leaving the display on for 5 or more seconds.

* Battery Filtering - We have added some additional battery filtering to help with some problems reported by users saying the battery was empty when there was still energy left. Having the new spring and making sure all your connections are clean and tight is the main fix for this, but extra filtering will also help.

* Money Saved Counter - This new feature allows you to set the price of a pack of cigarettes and the P3 will keep track of: How many cigarettes avoided, puff count, and how much money you have saved on cigarettes, based on the amount you set per pack.

* Various bug fixes

If you are local to HQ in Heywood we can upgrade any bought from us while you wait (no charge).

We'll also set something up on the site for those who aren't local which will just involve the return postage cost to you.

The 0.5 ohm mod will be very useful as all my atties apart from those on provaris are 0.5. / 0.6.

Will the postage option be Added to the website or will it be adhoc ?

[VE Jason]

This is what I had in mind Greg

Does that seem workable/self explanatory?

Makes sense to me mate, just one question though.

Do I have to pay twice for two P3's ?

so no charge for walking in to upgrade but a charge of 8.95 to get the upgrade if you send it? Seems unfair to those that have brought from you and don't live round the corner

Just my opinion

[VE Jason]

Not if they are sent in together Greg no - we can do as many as you like for the single charge.

I see where you are coming from flavourtank but it is an upgrade/improvement and could be chargeable but we have chosen to offer them for free but can't foot the bill for shipping as well.

Provape are likely to offer more upgrades in the future and if we paid the shipping for each one the Provari's would quickly become a major loss and no longer viable.

From the emails I've had to date - the customers seem to have no problem with this arrangement.

Obviously, I wouldn't personally send a P3 back for every update, but when a major one comes along, such as this one - it may be of interest to a lot of P3 owners.

Seems reasonable to me, it's for recorded delivery and not profit making

fair enough, obviously I don't know ins and outs of dealings.

Just wanted to point out and outsiders view. Anyway I'll leave you provari owners to it

Cheers jason

[flavourtank]

I will apologise now I didn't even think about postage recorded/special delivery.

Thanks Greg for pointing that out

[VE Jason]

No worries flavourtank

Yes the £8.95 is for packing and RM Special Delivery.

The updates only take a few minutes so the labour involved is minimal (although the programmer itself wasn't cheap).

The local customers will benefit over the online customers - but, it's swings and roundabouts really because we have online offers that aren't valid in the shop.

makes sense now, least these comments will help others understand (unless they are smarter than me )

[Greg]

Ok I'm in, will be posting to you Monday VE Jason. Assume it's ok to send in 18500 mode so I can send both in an original box ?
