E1 on Provari, but fine on SVD?

[onefutui2e]

Hey all,

I messed around with my Igo-L and put together a dual coil on it that read 1.2 ohms. I notice that if I crank my voltage on the Provari past 4.2-4.3 I get an E1 message, but on my SVD I can put it past 5.0 without any issues. A couple of questions:

1. Is this a Provari safeguard? I read on their site that there's a certain amp limit of 3.5. Doing the math 4.2v at 1.2 ohms gives me exactly 3.5 amps. That's my first/only guess. But the manual mentions that any time I exceed the amp limit the message should be an E2. So that's a bit confusing.
2. Is this due to the fact that since it's a dual coil (thus it's 2/2.4 ohm coils reading 1.2), even if I can technically crank it up without exceeding the amp limit, the fact that the device reads only 1.2 prevents this?
3. Is it safe (for my device, if anything) for my SVD to vape this past 4.2v? I know the manual says the maximum amperage is 5.0, but I really just want to make sure.

Thanks everyone!

• E1 – Short Circuit / Shorted
Atomizer – If this error appears, remove the atomizer and replace with a different one or lower your voltage settings. The ProVari will automatically reset when the problem is fixed or lower your voltage settings. The ProVari will automatically reset when the problem is fixed
.
• E2 – Current Limit Exceeded – If this error appears, lower the voltage on the device or use a higher resistance atomizer. Once the problem has been fixed, the Provari will reset itself.

The Provari has a 3.5 amp limit. As per your calculations, 1.2 ohms at 4.3 volts reaches this amp limit. The protective circuitry senses this as a short and produces the E1 error as a short circuit or shorted atomizer. My guess is if you attempted to fire this resistance at 5 volts you'd get the E2 error.

I can't comment on the SVD.
