I loaded a 1.5 ohm Dual Coil tank Cartomizer and I got an E-1 error message. It works fine on my KGO. I lowered the ohms and still had the E-1. Any thoughts?

When you say you lowered the ohms, did you mean voltage?
E1 either means a short or you're pushing too many amps (high volts on a low ohm coil).
Either try another carto, or lower the volts to 2.9 and work your way up and find the limit. Not sure if you have a v1 or a v2, but if it's a v2 then more than likely it's the carto. If it is the carto, with all the protection that Provari has built in, it may just be protecting you where as the kGo doesn't care. The carto may not be 100% damaged but heading towards failure.

waiting...
Sorry it took so long to get back. I was up pretty late last night gaming with some friends on Xbox live. I've used the tank on my KGO last night and all went well. After getting back to my post and reading the responses I put the tank back on my V2 (1 week old) provari. Now its working without any problems. I have it set at 4 volts.
Now I'm baffled as to why I would get an E-1 error when I first tried using the tank carto yesterday and now it works fine. What gives?

Wanted to add that your carto could be getting shorted after being screwed on to the Provari, and not shorting on the kGo. Try screwing the carto on less tight and see if it makes a difference. Could be that the pin on the Provari is overly engaging the contact point of your carto and causing it to short out (damaging the insulation).
It would also be wise to test the resistance of your carto with the Provari and see what it registers. If it's showing a really low #, then try another carto.
EDIT: I added this post before your post posted to my screen. Interesting it works now. Perhaps it just didn't make good contact the first time around.

It weird. I tried so many things and could get it to work yesterday but it seems to be working just fine now.
How is the spring? Mine was a bit pushed down, and would sometimes act a bit flaky. Anyway I streched it out a bit, and now it touched the battery before I get the cap threadded on....
When I switched over to the provari with my tank this morning it started working. This afternoon I started to get a dry slight hint of a burnt taste to it. And then a couple of puffs later I got the E-1. I checked the atomizer setting and it read 1.3...wtf? I did a bunch of non firing hits to juice up the carto. Then it vaped fine. I did another atomizer check and it read 1.6. Any thoughts?
I'd say use a new carto. At $1-2, they're not worth messing anything up over it. It sounds like the Provari is protecting itself from a messed up carto. I'd just toss it and not worry too much about it. You may have just got a dud. If it does this with another carto from the same batch, then you may have to investigate further. Then again, I've heard tales of people getting 3 duds in a pack of 5. Just sayin.
Agreed...I also think its a bad carto.I'm almost through with sampling a juice with it anyways. It puzzles me as how the ohm reading will change from dry to wet. Wouldnt the ohm reading be what it is?
I noticed something like this once. I let a carto get too dry and got an error. I would imagine what's happening is the ohms drop when the carto starts to burn dry and the provari is just protecting itself like its supposed to. This is why we paid the big bucks!
At 4v on a 1.5 atty you're hitting the amp ceiling already.

Yea, 4.0 @ 1.5 is pushing the v1 provari. If you can do without it for a bit, and have $20 ProVape will upgrade it for you. If not, try a 2.5 ohm dual coil. They work @ 6.0 on the my v1, and that's 14 watts!
I have a week old provari v2 so I wont be upgrading for a while. Only been vaping for a couple of months now and trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can.
