3.3 watts on MAP Tank better than 6.8 watts with LR atty? How?

[Digs]

I just got my MAP tank (3.2ohm) and even though I haven't received my ProVari yet I thought I'd try it out with my old eGo. First, I tested the MAP tank with my multimeter just to confirm it was 3.2 ohms, and it was spot on. I know that my eGo only does 3.2v so I really wasn't expecting much of anything (3.2v with 3.2ohm atty is a measly 3.2 watts).

Well to my surprise this thing hits better than my 1.5 ohm LR 306s! That doesn't make any sense to me because with my 1.5 ohm atties I should be getting 6.8 watts. Anyone have a logical answer as to how this is possible?

EDIT: I should add that this is my first experience with the CE2. I have some normal 3.2 CE2 XL's that I haven't tried yet. I'm kind of curious how well those work now.

These carto's seem to defy all logic about voltages and resistance. I've yet to see a good explanation.

3.2 watts seems low for good heat and vapor production, but I suppose it may depend on the composition and flavor of the juice. I don't think a coffee or tobacco would be as good at 3.2w as it would at 6.8.

I know. This really has me scratching my head. I just filled a 3.2 ohm CE2 Clearomizer to see if it would hit the same but it doesn't smell or taste anything like my flavor so I don't even want to inhale it right now.

Vaping at 3.2 watts with this thing is better than anything! I wish I could make a video so you guys could see how much this thing is putting out compared to my other atties. It just doesn't make any sense. I can't imagine how this thing works above 3.2v.

I may have to crank down the VV and experiment.

Lol! This seriously has me questioning the purchase of my ProVari. I mean I'm sure it will be an awesome unit but if this keeps working like it is I think I could have gone without one.

Personally I have always found that less is more with the CE2's as well as the 2.8ohm CE2 working better than any of the others, just my findings that's all. Ohms, resistance, wattage, all of it compared to an Atty with these CE2's is a whole another ball game

I'm finding the same as mwa with the CE2. Higher ohms produce the same warmth at the the same voltage in comparison. I get basically the same warmth from a 2.8ohm CE2 at 3.7v = 4.9w as I do a 2.4ohm atty at 4.2v = 7.3w. The numbers don't convey the outcome. Can't explain it, must have something to do with the design.

The questioning should stop with the Provari once you use it. It's a great unit that doesn't matter what atty/carto you use with it, you'll find the sweet spot.

The Provari is well worth it. I have been vaping on a MAP-Tank every since i got it and i'm inlove. A 2.8ohm tank but shows as 3.0ohm on provari at 4.5-5.0 volts is good for me and hits the spot

I use a MAP on an eG0 and I am totally in love with it, and dont feel the need for a VV mod at all. I also use the 3.2 CE2s
