My provari will be arriving in a few days! Woo hoo! Will i be able to use the provari to hit these 1.5 ohm dual coils with 5 volts?

The highest I have been able to raise my voltage is to 4.2 or 4.3 volts with my 1.6 ohm Smoketech dual coil cartomizers. However, I had heard that they are shipping the newer version Provaris out this week called the "V2" (version 2) which ups the amp limit from 2.5 amp to 3.5 amp which is suppose to allow much higher voltage limits with the dual coil cartos. The current version of the Provari allows voltage adjustment from 3.3 to 6.0 volts, but the V2 allows adjustment from 2.9 to 6.0 volts. Once you receive your Provari, make sure you have a carto/atty attached and check your lower voltage limit. If it goes down to 2.9 volts, you have the V2.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.
I use everything from 1.7 resurectors to 3.0 standard resistance cartos. The 1.7s work fine. the only real issue is that you cant really crank it up on the 1.5 dual coils. A single coil would be fine @ 3.7, but the duals need a bit more, and you run into the 2.5 amp limit too quickly. Duals that are 2.0 to 2.5 work best. In fact, to get the most power from the device, with 6.0 volts, and 2.5 amps that would work out to a 2.4 ohm carto.
Provape is releasing the provari V2 in a few days with a new electric board 2.9-6v and it will allow using dual coil no problem, the V1 version will cut u off at 4-4.1V .
I guess I don't understand why you'd want to vape LR at that high of a voltage. Isn't LR basically so you can experience the feeling of a higher voltage at lower voltage?

The dual coils need a little extra voltage to power both of the coils. That's just how it is. I just check on my order, and it looks like i am getting the v2! sweet! these dual coils are useless on my L-Rider.
It's still limited to 14.5 watts above 4.2V.
Some more details on the limits:
The new output limit (when you will get an E2) is 3.5 amps from 2.9 v to 4.2v. Above 4.2v the output limit is set to 14.5 watts. So above 4.2v each step has a little bit different current limit based on a power calculation. You will find that you can go much higher voltage with LR, but you won't be able to crank it all the way up to 6 volts with a LR..basically cooking the atty
Dual Coil cartomizers at 1.5ohm are not the same as a 1.5ohm LR carto/atty. They have two 3.0ohm (SR) coils in a single cartomizer. I haven't tried higher ohm DCCs (don't have any), but I will in the future based on other folks posts.

Yup, you need to apply a bit more power to duals to get the watts per coil high enough.
Great to hear. The 1.5 DCCs I have give me an error at 4.2v (on my brand new V1)
2.0ohm will get you there 5+ i think 5.8 was the max i could do with that tho.. but that was even 2 hot
I find with a 2ohm that 4.5 is a good TH and flavor!
Hope you enjoy your provari!!
Nope, it runs a 1.5 ohm DCC at 6V. The V2 has a 3.5 amp chip now and allows this set-up to work. You also have to remember that it has two 3 ohm coils in there.
How can you say such a thing?
1.5 Ohms at 6V would mean 4 Amps - that's above the specs for maximum current.
Furthermore, that would also be 24 Watts - also above the limits of the device which are 14.5 Watts when above 4.2 V

I'm no expert, but wouldn't the 1.5 dual coil which on the charts reads at 24 watts and 4 amps be cut in half - half for each coil? That would mean 12 watts and 2 amps per coil?
With the coils in parallel, you have 12 watts/4 Amps in each 3 Ohm coil at 6 Volts, yes, but to feed those 2 coils the provari would have to put out the 24 watts / 4 Amps. ( 2 x 12 watts)
Which it can't.
2 x 3 Ohm coils in parallel consume the same power as a 1,5 Ohm coil.

Yes, 6 volts applied to a 1.5 ohm load would be 24 watts. What does it measure on the provari?
