Just got mine today and noticed when I check the ohms it fires for a couple of seconds. Is this normal?
Thanks!
Thanks!
WARNING: If you are doing rebuildy stuff with cotton wicks and building on your Provari, make double sure you either check your ohms BEFORE you wick, or if you already wicked, juice the cotton before you check those ohms. Otherwise you will set your wick on fire. Uh, not that I know this from experience or anything.

Its funny you say that, in the last pbusardo video I watched (squape) he did this exact same thing by accident.
When I build my pro tank heads, I put the coil back on the drill bit, hold it in place, install it, check ohms, test fire the coil, then feed the cotton through.
I missed that video. What was the title of it?

So, on my mini, which arrived today, I put a cartomizer (unfilled unprimed) on the mini to check its ohms. Now that I've primed it (using Busardo's condom method) and put it into a tank, it has an off taste nothing like the juice. Is it fair to conclude that in my innocence I burned the carto?
If it's just an off taste there's a good chance the carto is fine and you need to adjust your voltage. Always start low on your voltage and work your way up to a vape that's good for you. If you get a burned taste, back the voltage down a bit until the flavor is good again. If voltage adjustment doesn't solve the problem, and it still has that burned taste no matter what voltage setting, you have probably burned the carto and will need to replace it. I can burn a carto, but I have never figured out a way to unburn one. The ohm checker of the Provari doesn't put out the same full voltage and power in ohms checking mode as it does in full fire mode, so it might be fine.
Most carto's are in the 2.0 to 3.0ohm range, either the box or the carto itself should list this. To be really safe in this ohm range start at around 3.2 volts and work your way up from there. That should a very safe too low voltage to start from and should allow you to find what your carto likes for voltage. Once you find your voltage range for those cartos, you will be able to start much closer to what you know works on the next carto change.
If the tank you're using fits in a Thingy, I think the Thingy method is just peachy.
But Oz is right - you can over-do it.
Don't want to make a mess by fiddling with your thingy TOO much...
