Alright, so I'm expecting my Mini to be in the mail tomorrow (hopefully :))
Anyway, right now I'm vaping at 8.8w (2ohm at 4.2v), and definitely want to go higher, and cant wait to fiddle with the Provari. A lot of people told me not to use 2ohm cartos above about 4.5v, so I bought 15 3ohm cartos.
First thing I'm going to try is 6v with 3ohm for 12w... but I was thinking.. what if I wanted to go above 12w? I hear I can't use 2ohm past 4.5, so can I even really get above 12w here?
I'm sure 12w will be plenty, but for curiosity's sake... can I do it?
Thanks!

The highest wattage you'll achieve on the Provari is a 2.5ohm coil at 6V for 14.4W.

Edit: Or so I thought...

Some more details on the limits:
The new output limit (when you will get an E2) is 3.5 amps from 2.9 v to 4.2v. Above 4.2v the output limit is set to 14.5 watts. So above 4.2v each step has a little bit different current limit based on a power calculation. You will find that you can go much higher voltage with LR, but you won't be able to crank it all the way up to 6 volts with a LR..basically cooking the atty :)

Apparently you can achieve 14.5W if you had a 2.48 ohm coil. :)
