Dual coils and vv questions

[khawk77]

So, I was planning on buying a vv mod soon, but after lots of research, I can't decide if they will work for me. Now I'm running 6 v with a 2.5 ohm atty. Some have told me that's very hot, but that's what I like. I also would like to try dual coil tanks. The question is, will any of the vv's operate with dual coil that gets as hot as my 2.5 atty? If not, will they work with my regular 2.5 at 6 v? I'm not a very technical minded person, so if possible, keep answers simple.
Thanks

Ya they work great with a VVmod provari will run them hot for you get the 2.0 or 2.5ohm dc cartos and you can run them hi.I use those from 5-6volt on my varis,works great.

Ok thanks. I was considering a provari and a few others

2.5 ohms at 6v is 14.4w.

With the notcigs buzz pro or infinity pro, they have slightly higher max output power, but lower max voltage, than the provari v2. You could use a 2 ohm atty at up to 5.5v, 15w, and go to slightly higher voltages with the dual coils than the provari. (We are only talking a couple percent difference in max power, the provari and notcigs pro series are both high performance vv.)

So, would I be able to tell much of a difference between the buzz pro and the provari ? I mean I like the provari a little better because it's adjustable in tenths of volts.

Honestly, actually vaping they are both well regulated vv that will hold their voltage cleanly. A pv tube is a power source. If a tube can drive enough amps at a given voltage for the resistance you are using, that is what counts.

I'm a notcigs user, prefer the simple wheel interface, honestly don't care about the precise number, or reading resistance, as long as the device stays where it is set. That doesn't mean the provari is anything other than excellent, just a different user interface.

Current provari and notcigs pro handle about the same Watts, provari with extender and big 18650 delivers about the same run time as a notcigs pro (the non-extended provari has noticeably shorter run time), both are known to be rugged, well engineered, backed by top notch customer service.

if user interface doesn't matter to you, flip a coin. Either is a really good vv.

Check out the LavaTube section above. I recently got a kit with 2 batts, charger, case and 2 attys for $68. They are limited to 2.5 amps but that should get you where you want to be. 6v with 2.5ohm atty comes to 2.4 amps and 14.4 watts. I run 2ohm cartos on mine dual and single coil in tanks. I can only get to 5v on them before I reach the 2.5 amp limit but I run them about 4.5v for my sweet spot. For the price you can't beat them and I've seen them even cheaper. Here's a calculator you can punch in numbers to see what you can do with certain amp limits:

You ask for a simple answer......you like 2.5 ohm at 6 volts (that equals 14.4 watts).....Provari (rated 2.9 to 6 volts).......14.4 watts @ max 6.0 volts
Notcigs PV's (rated 3.3 to 5.5 volts)......2.5 ohm at 5.5 volts........12.1 watts @ max 5.5 volts

There are alot of VV devices to choose from.......choose the one YOU like the best and go for it...others, including me, have chosen what they like, and what they/I like may not necessarily be what you will like....I wish you the best in getting what you really like....

That is very hot, and it is also likely that even though that's what you think you are doing, it actually isn't. I tested a whole lot of batteries a few months ago, and I only came up with a couple that even fully charged could output 6.0v or above under the load of a 2.8 ohm coil. Most of them could only muster around ~5.4 to 5.5v. -- This topic gets very technical and you'll need to do a little reading at the12volt.com, battery university, or candlepower forums (among other places) to get a firm grip on C ratings and etc before continuing. There are maybe a thousand or ten thousand threads here on ECF that could be a good starting point, too. The search box in your upper right hand part of any ECF page can guide you.

As to VV devices that can drive dual coils in to the 14 watt range: The VV box mods from madvapes, kens box mods, smoke tech, and lots of other places are quite up to the task of driving a 1.5 ohm dual coil well in to and even above that range provided you use appropriate batteries (AW IMR batteries being the most widely recommended).

On the higher end of the price spectrum, you have a couple of suggestions above so here is a youtube video comparing those two particular options with standard 1.5 ohm dual coils.

The only way you can vape at 6v with a lava tube is with a 4ihm carto and/or atty. Despite what the screen says. Pbusardo metered it in his video.

Well if you are using a pair of cells for your '6V' vaping you are probably at about 12W. Not that extreme.

You can't just go by watts though as the construction of the various atty/cartos can have a significant impact on the final vape.

We don't vape watts.
