Any reason that I need the v2 upgrade?

[imsoenthused]

So, I've been thinking about picking up a VV PV for a while now, and after reading many reviews and opinions I just bought a Provari, and I have to say I think I only thought I loved my GoGo, but this is vaping Nirvana. However... I decided to go and purchase my Provari at the Vapor Kings brick and mortar store here in town as long as the price was reasonably close to the online price. I like supporting local businesses when I can, and plus they are all extremely nice guys to deal with. So the price was reasonably close and I said "ring me up". I brought my new toy home, put my favorite atty on it, started dripping and was blown away. Then I started playing with the voltage, and discovered that it wouldn't go any lower than 3.3v... My fault, I know, for assuming that I was buying a v2. I'm torn between complete, total love for this thing, and worrying that I'm missing out on something. Does the v2 really make much difference compared to the v1? I'm not sure I could stand mailing it away long enough to get it upgraded. Going back to my GoGo would almost feel like punishment.

If you want to vape "dual coil anything" you NEED the V2...............Been there done that....

hmmm, my smoktech dual coil tank is firing off just fine, even when I crank it up past the point where I enjoy it. It's a 1.5 ohm carto in there at the moment. So most dual coils won't work with it?

The higher current limit of the V2 will allow you to adjust the voltage higher. If you like DC and the V1 is pushing enough current to get them to your sweet spot then stick with it.

Ya, it's firing the 1.5ohm DC at 4v, gives me the error code higher than that, but I honestly have to back it off to 3.7v or it's just too much. I'll have to try it with one of the 2.5 ohm cartos once this one dies. So, the only benefit of the v2 is letting you push dual coils to higher voltages?

 

[Nomoreash]

Yes the V2 raised the current limit to 3.5A, If you're not having and issue with the current limit on a 1.5 ohm DC I don't think you have anything to worry about. Alot of people like the 1.5 DC around 5v, I'm not one of them though.

4.0v made my eyes cross and ears ring, I think I'll be fine. Thanks for the advice.

Enjoy the new Provari!! Sounds like the V1 is doing fine for ya!!

I agree. Enjoy your new toy. I have a v2 and I don't run over 4.2 with my 2.0, 1.7 singles and my 1.5 DC. They are not very pleasant after that. I think the biggest complaints came from people who have a fixed 5 volt or something like that. The were running dc's 5 volts because that's all they could do and that's what their taste buds got used to.

I did get the upgrade but still use the same settings as I did before. I'm glad I got the upgrade but with the cartos I use, I didn't really need it.

Haven't had it very long, but noticed something weird. Cartomizers and attys push higher voltage after being burned in. I can now crank my brand new 1.5ohm tank up considerably higher than I could out of the box. Don't know if that is normal, but it surprised me. I don't like them that high, was just playing around, but I don't get error codes as soon on a burned in atty or carto as I did on brand new ones.
