Personally don't think the owner of an expensive VV PVs should have to jump through hoops to get a satisfactory vape. Most dual coil units I've vaped work best in the mid to upper 4v range and higher as they age. I feel my VV PV should adjust to whatever vaping purchase I wish to make rather than me having to adjust my choices to please the PV. A 3amp cutoff works pretty well but a 3.5amp would cover just about anything.
These are just my opinion and not meant to critical of others choices.
Perhaps someone here can explain why sophisticated PVs such as the Lava Tube and Provari are not using a higher amp cutoff? Is it the limits of current technology, cost or just settling for what will work for most.

limits of current technology would be the answer I believe.
There not using a higher Amp cut off because the Batteries that we use can only handle so much to a certain point. The cut off is there for your protection and not to over stress the Batts. The highest C rating Batt that I have found to date is the MNKE and I use them a lot and AW IMR is right there along with the MNKE in my opinion though not specked out that says so in writing, but still these units including the Provari, Lava, or any other with the built in protection of an Amp limit are only there for our protection and the companies that make these units protection and the numbers that these units max Amp out at are specked to the Batts we use. I hope that answers your question or helps some.
Example =
IMR18650 Specifications :
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1600mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 15C
Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius
There is no reason to make a unit that has a higher Amp limit then a Batt can take or run at because it would over stress the Batt and risk venting of such Batt. So if you where discharging the above Batt at say a continuous 25C you would smoke the Batt in no time.
