Friend is sellin me his provari variable voltage need help.

[cw007]

My Friend is sellin me his provari. Now question is I want to order some stuff for it from gotvapes but want to know whats best for it. I know your not supposed to use Low Resistance stuff with it. Something about ohms being higher. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Re ohms and volts - one guy had a simple formula. You may be able to set the Provari up to 2 + the value of the ohms you are using. If you are using a 3 ohm atty or carto, you may be able to take the Provari up to 5v. If you are using a 2 ohm atty then you could use up to 4v. With a 1.7 ohm atty you could go up to 3.7v. It's simplistic but seems reasonable. I would consider the low end of heat to be a voltage roughly equivalent to the ohms - like a 3 ohm atty at 3v would be down around the heat level of using a slim Joye 510 and standard resistance atty. That should help you choose an appropriate potential voltage range for whatever atty or carto you are using.

Of course how well that works depends on a lot of factors like how damp your carto or atty is, and how thick your juice is i.e. how quickly your juice flows to redampen the coil or stuffing where needed. It also depends on the quality of the atty and the condition it is in - strain a crappy or dirty or worn atty and you may pop it and destroy it, so have plenty of attys. Cartos start to inhibit the flow of the juice after some number of uses, especially if you use juices that leave lots of flavoring sediment behind. Some carto types will just be better that dealing with increased heat than others. And it depends on how hot you want to vape.

The ProVari is variable voltage and can take any resistance atomizer/carto. Ever think about getting a tank? Look at vaporescence liquinators or the DCT MAP tank or the J-Tank.

Ok great thanks for the info dormouse that answered my questions about the ohms and the voltages. Wow everyone here at ECF is so helpful I hope I can be the same to others in the future. Thanks

+1 For a carto tank! I have one on my Provari and it's the best thing I've purchased...well, since my Provari! FYI, the new 2500mah batteries should be on sale next week on ProVape E-Cigarettes: Buy Electronic Cigarettes & Smokeless Cigarettes and the best/cheapest place to pick up cartos is here Crystal Clear Vaping you get 15 for $19 shipped (if you use the "ecf5off" coupon code) and he gives you free drip tips!

Yea I am really thinking about ordering a tank lookin at this one rite now 510 Vape-O-Matic Liquinator 8.5mL BFT. What resitance cartos u use and at what voltage are those pre cut cartos to I have nothin to cut them with. and do I want to use Dual Coil carts. Thanks

I actually like ikenvape.com's mega lr 510's in my tanks. I've found that using duals and chainvaping isn't a good mixture as it tends to heat the liquid and cause some leaking. However, you stated you didn't have a way to cut them...do you have a hacksaw? Dremels aren't very expensive for just a plain jane kit. You might want to invest in one...you never know what you might want to make with it.

You can use anything with the provari it is just a matter of adjusting the voltage . I agree with the ohms +2 max guideline , that is what it seems to me to work . If your not sure then start at 3.4 or 3.7 volts and adjust upwards until it seems right . A provari can fry your gear pretty quick if not used right . It helps to use the ohm checking feature of the provari on any new atty or carto you put on it . Just because a carto is rated at 3ohms does not mean that it really is 3ohms it can be higher or lower than that even from the same box of cartos and ohms can change over time and use .

Actually, theoretically, a 2.4-2.6ohm atty/carto should allow you to go the full range. The ProVari maxes out at around 2.5A (actually a tad higher, but that's irrelevant). Based on Ohms Law:

6V @ 2.4ohms = 2.5A and 15W output.

Now, 15W will probably blow a hole in your throat, but it is apparently tested and doable without the ProVari throwing up an E2 code and saying "Nuh-uh, nothin' doin'." Just to be safe though I've got some 2.6-2.8 Fluxomizer Deluxes on the way from GotVapes. Even given variances that should still give me almost the entire range of outputs at any voltage.

Ok so higher the voltage means u get more vapor and flavor rite? Oh and thinking about gettin the dremel just get a grinding disk rite any special one? And how long do I want to grind till I see the filling? Thanks so much all of I just had to jump on this provari my friend sellin it to me for 70 bucks and I have heard so much great stuff about them. As soon as I get my paycheck I am goin to be a supporting member to ECF this is a great place Thanks

Well, the thing is, it's all about the wattage -- the total power output, and that is based on both the voltage you're set at and the resistance of the atty/carto you have attached. The ProVari can push a maximum of 2.5 amps, so keeping that in mind you can use this Ohm's Law calculator to plug in the voltage and resistance to see what kind of wattage it's putting out and the kind of amperage it's pulling. Going for the maximum wattage output isn't necessary -- most people are most comfortable with some combination that puts out somewhere around 8-10W, some people like it a little warmer. Best case scenario, the ProVari could drive a 2.4A atty/carto to 15W output -- but keep in mind that's pretty extreme and probably something you'll only ever do in a dare. And even then there's no guarantee your atty/cart won't pop at that level.

Generally, you're quite safe with any atty/carto at or above 2.4 ohms (max 15W output on the ProVari) up to about 3.5 ohms (max 10W output). Any higher resistance than that on a ProVari and you're starting to get into "cool vape" territory. Any lower and you're reducing the max voltage you can use while increasing the amperage being drawn per volt, which is kind of pointless.

 

[TJVapes]

If you're getting a liquinator go to youtube and look up vaporesence and liquinator. They have a video up that shows you all you need to know about filling and cutting the slots. What's BFT stand for? Big fat tank? I have the 3 mL tank but maybe I'll get the bigger one later. Lovin my liquinator on a buzz pro!

Thanks mindfield that calculator really helps. So let me see if I am using it rite put the voltage in then the resitance and try to shoot for that 8 to 10 Watt range rite?


Yea TJ Big Fat Tank holds 8.5ML I think its a little to big for me. Thanks Guys

Essentially, yes -- although what wattage you should be shooting for is your own personal preference. If you like a cooler vape you can use practically anything. If you like your vapes warm, try and stick in between 2.5-3.5ohm cartos. I've got some 2.6-2.8ohm Fluxomizers on the way that should be just about the perfect range.

 

[cw007]

Yea I am getting some of those tomm. As soon as I find the receipt I will post it. I orders some other stuff from them too just cant remember off hand.

You can also punch them with a hammer and nail (sharp I'd imagine.) I haven't done this but saw it in this vid:

[bobsyeruncle]

For your Provari, you can just get regular cartomizers. Regardless of the resistance of your atomizers or cartomizers, you'll probably find you max out at around 4.5 volts, anyway. You don't need dual coil cartomizers; they're better suited to a 3.7 or 5 volt fixed-voltage mod.

Understand, that on a non-regulated system, you can change the power output with atomizers of varying resistance. On a Provari, that really doesn't make a difference to your vape (the Provari will boost accordingly) except that the system works better with regular or even high voltage atomizers.

If you're going for a Liquinator, they'll cut all the regular resistance cartos for you that you need. They weren't designed for regular atomizers; I'm not sure how well that will work.

Now I know I'm still just a newbie here, and mindfield just posted on off-site calculator....

But is it okay to show cw007 an alternate free software program that handles EVERYTHING he could possibly want without having to use the ohm's law calculator?

The free software is offered by another e-cig site by its creator.

It calculates everything for you automatically and very easily. You'll be able to adjust your atomizer's to the juice you're vaping to get the best experience.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg to what this software does.

So I'm asking a Moderator in here if you're viewing??

I think everyone the vapes should have this software. But I'm not going to promote it unless I know that its okay to do so??

FYI...I didn't create the software.

I don't see any reason why you can't. This is that E-juicemeup app? I downloaded it as well, very handy for DIY, Ohm's Law calculations and pretty much everything else.

Okay, then YOU tell him!

Cuz I'm not gonna risk a rule violation....

I'd like to tell you myself cw, but the rules are VERY strict in here.
