I'm pretty sure it's possible so long as each coil is high enough ohms or am I wrong? Has anyone got any dual coils to work?
Then I am out of my league. *backs out of thread quietly*
The following table shows the output performance difference between the V1 and V2 models. While
reviewing this table, be aware that this is the guaranteed production test limit. Because of part
variations, typical unit outputs are higher than what is displayed in this table for both models.
Technonut,
Wow - @4 volts that is 16 watts. I am surprised they didn't error out. You are probable very kind to your units so they put out a little extra for you. But that is still MUCH more reasonable than Mr. Green's Video trying to run it at 24 watts. I just can't imagine what he was thinking.
Actually I didn't like the Video because he left the impression that the ProVari was a little wacky when IMHO he was the wacky one and the ProVari was doing exactly what the specs say it should. I have seen some of this other Vids and they are OK but not real technical.
Preloader, I don't think you are even close to being out of your league!!!
I double checked your calculations and without rounding it is 6.25 watts per coil or 12.5 watts total and the total current would be 2.5 Amps. If my memory serves me both the wattage and current are within ProVari's specs by a reasonably amount.
The only thing we don't know is what resistance coils Dominick is using or trying to use???
Preloader, Just out of curiosity what kind of battery life to you get running at 12 watts?
I'm primarily using 18650 batteries, so I'm getting a full day. I tend to swap batteries early, when the button starts blinking, even though CB shows 3.6V.
I haven't began wrapping my own coils, but I have yet to hear about anyone wrapping one at 3Ω or higher.
Mine came with a 4 wrap coil @ 2.1Ω. I'm anxious to do my first coil, but it's vaping so great..... why fix it?
My 50/50 juices wick a little slow though, so I may do it just so I can try a SS mesh wick, even though I believe Zen mentioned that it won't make much difference in wicking IIRC.
Technonut,
BS - No way on this end. I believe your results completely besides you backed up everything you said with numbers.
I am only on my first cup of coffee so don't take what I am saying as Gospel but it does look like the output you achieved are within 10% of the upper speck limits. Sounds to me very reasonable but you should start buying Lotto Tickets because it also looks like you have two very high performing units within a 10% range - excellent.
I do have a question, Why such low resistance coils? I have seen lots of folks that run very low Ohm coils but I don't understand why folks insist on such low resistance. It seems to me the lower the resistance the harder the batteries have to work and the harder they have to work the lower the battery usage time and the faster the batteries life expectancy will be reduced.
Oh - heck it is too early in the morning for all this brain effort. I going for another cup of coffee.

Lol yeah sorry of I came off rude to Holman! Not my intent
And to be honest I was asking you guys if you had found something that had worked. I had tried one dual coil on my trident, 10 wraps each coil, each one homes out at 1.5 If my memory serves me correct, but didn't work when combined. So my question was if I raised the ohms of each coil to, sayyy 3ohms it should work right?
Well... I was running primarily mech mods before, and kind of kept my old ProVari V1 off to the side for a long time. For a couple of years, I usually didn't like any atty or carto below 2.0 ohms, and preferred 2.5 and up. Then, rebuildables came along... There's more wicking material to hold juice, can be tank-fed, and I started building lower resistance coils for better vapor, and flavor because the attys were suited for it. Despite my sub-ohm vaping sticky, I personally do not sub-ohm. The lowest I have or will go is 1.0 ohm. I started that thread out of concern for folks safety due to this style of vaping being popular, and potentially dangerous.
I basically was running the 1.0 ohm dual-coil because the Hercules' (Ithaka's) design, and ceramic cup produced a rich, flavorful vape. Not at all too hot @ 3.8v. I just ran it on the V2.5 for the regulated voltage instead of dropping off like in my mechs. As for the 1.5 ohm I'm running now, I have around 75 feet of AWG 30 Kanthal left, and that's about how many wraps worth I can get around my preferred wicking material while being directly over the air-tube in the rebuildables I have at the moment. I am running it at only 3.0v, and the battery life is fantastic.
Since I have 2 ProVari V2.5's now, my mechs are not getting used as much these days. I have a rebuildable carto coming, and I plan on building 2.5-2.8 ohm coils for it. I just need to pick up a couple of spools of wire in appropriate gauges. I will also use the new wire to make coils in the same ohm range for my other rebuildables. It is less taxing on batteries, and better suited for the ProVari's.
