Aty Issue With Provari. Can it be fixed?

[mwa102464]

It would be a good Idea to try and buy a cheap mod that takes an 18650 Batt to do your dry burns over the Ego Batt, which you may be able to get pretty cheap in the classy's, plus it would be a good back up mod for you having that kind of Batt power, just a thought since you already have the charger for the 18650 for your Provari

How do I know when the gunk is completely gone? Will it stop making a sizzle, or completely stop making even the least bit of vapor? Like what is the sign of all being gone?

That's right. After the atty is dry, the smoke will be produced by gunk burning off. When the smoke is gone, the gunk is gone.

Once you see your coil glowing orange you can pretty much see all the gunk is gone off of the wire on the coil

The sign of all being gone is when it does NOTHING. The reason they suggest using an eGo battery for dry burning is because the Provari is essentially incapable to doing that. The moment the atty becomes dry, it will error out when you fire it, not to mention the 16 second cutoff...

Also, when you buy an atomizer, depending on the supplier, the rating with be plus/minus about .1 ohm. Some are as bad as up to .3 ohms off of rating. .1 ohm(1.9 instead of 2.0) is considered an acceptable manufacturing variance.

I understood about the provari not being able to do that,,The problem with using the Ego is the Mosfet connection gets hot and it can burn it up when that connection gets hot, it is much better to use a mod with a stronger bigger mAh Batt, so I was just suggesting this for that reason plus you have the charger most likely that would do an 18650 Batt and you can use those in your provari as well so an 18650 Mod would be a good backup as well, again just a thought.

I agree with mwa regarding using a MOD instead of the Ego battery for all the reasons mentioned.

Hehe oh mwa, we all know that you know what you are talking about. I was trying to expand a little more on the "why" of using a different battery to dry-burn for the OP. And you are right a homemade mod would probably perform the best for dry-burns.

 

[mwa102464]

This is the dischagre rate of your AW IMR 18650 Batt see here =
4.2V – 100%
4.1V – 87%
4.0V – 75%
3.9V – 55%
3.8V – 30% You should be pulling your Batt here !
3.5V – 0% Not here ! in my opinion only

I have never had a problem of burning out the mosfet in my eGo batts from overheating. If you're getting it that hot then either you're holding the button down too long on your burns or doing too many atties in a row without letting them chill out. So get a cheap ... mod or an eGo, unless you are a complete "maroon" what ...... call people THEY think are ...... (see, cuz ...... can't spell or recognize that they are ......), then you should be perfectly okay with even a used eGo for this purpose. Never even burned the mosfet chain vaping Dual coils. If it's too hot to hold, it's too hot for your circuitry. Put it down, rest between each atty cleaned, you don't need a mod.

And yes, you do the 2nd burn until it glows orange AND there is no more vapor and stench coming off the atty. It's clean as it's gonna get and no need to rinse again but if not using for a while it's a good idea to throw some PG in there or some cheap or old juice to keep it wet.

I do understand where you are coming from based on your success using Ego batteries. I too have used my old Ego batteries successfully for dry-burning. I just feel that for majority of people, especially those who may not be as careful and detail-oriented, using a cheap MOD for this method is a safer and more affordable long-term option. Just my

Perhaps, I don't know how cheap MODS run, this is my first when it ships. However, if you have a concern about frying the mosfet, a 510 charging adapter inserted into the battery followed by the atomizer relieves any and all concern of overheating the circuitry.

Ahh, I like that idea of using the 510 charging adapter attached between the atty and a PV. I think I have one laying around that came with my original Tornado kit early last year. Thanks for the tip!

works great too for extending the shortie 306 drip tips so they stick farther out of an eGo/Riva/etc cone cover if anybody ever still uses those.

How does the extender take away any fear of frying the Mosfet connection Siouxsie, ? The same Amperage is still being drawn from the Batt !

Thought heat was the issue. EXCUSE ME!
