Can e1 errors be from low ohms?

[withravenoushunger]

I build a coil that is probably around .8ohm. It works on my mech but the Provari is giving me e1 errors and says Lo when I check the resistance. Does this always mean a short or can it be low ohm? My coil seems fine and I don't see anywhere there could be a short.

Voltage is too high for the coil but it could also be a sign of a shorting coil drop voltage if no joy rebuild

Remember, a provari is a VV device with a short circuit protection. Using a 0.8ohm atomizer will cause it to display E1. If you still would like a low ohm atomizer on the provari, I suggest using the lowest voltage setting. It may or may not work, but true sub-ohms is for mech mods. I think the lowest ohm a provari is supposed to do is 1.3ohm.

Mine gives me a E1 with anything lower than 1.3 ohms

Low ohm limit is 1.0. As such, you will get an error if the voltage is too high due to the high current. I'm vaping a 1.0 ohm coil at 3.8 volts using an IGO-L right now. I lower the voltage to 3.0 and then adjust up until it's at the right voltage or it errors out.

lol never tried to adjust the voltage. I just assumed that the E1 error meant the resistance was to low......probably should of read the instructions.
