Hey everybody!

I'm happy to announce that I am an official owner of a Provari 2.5! (applause)
But.... I only vape with RDAs and I was cursed with these evil things called "mechanical mods" and I really really enjoy the vape that I get from them and I want that same feeling that I get with those on my Provari. I hate that I'm restricted on my voltage, but I'm willing to try more builds to make me love the Provari that I hate and I hate that I hate it because I want to love it, but I cant because I hate it... help me

what do you use?
what builds can you recommend?
I just want to love IT!

I run single coils on my patriots and igo's. 1.8-2.0 running at 4.8-5 volts. Not mech or sub ohm clouds but close and the flavor is outstanding. Lately I'm partial to twisted 32 gauge. Been contemplating getting some 34 gauge and twisting three to four strands of that.

How many wraps for 2 ohms with twisted 32g? I have 100ft of that and I hardly use it!

I can't add anything that hasn't already been said. But if you still end up hating the ProVari, put a WTT (want to trade) in the classifieds here and see if you can't trade it for a REO. Since you use dripping atomizers already, that's probably the direction you should have gone in the first place.:2c:

I make microcoils for the provari at around 2 ohms resistance with my various tankomizers.
(Mostly the Squape and the Taifun GT because they are 23mm like the vari and work well).
I make more wraps opposed to the coils for my mechanicals (Reo i aim for 1.3).
More wraps gives a larger vaporisation area, driven with a higher voltage it also heats up quick.
Sure... if you are a hardcore sub-ohmer maybe this will still not satisfy you, but for me this setup
produces outstanding flavour and plenty of vapour.

What gauge kanthal do you use and how many wraps?

I've got a 2.5 ohm single microcoil in my Kayfun clone on a Provari right now and it's lovely. The young man at the vape store always tests the coils he builds for his customers--and he was pleasantly surprised. He even said the flavor was amazing and he decided to build one for himself. Requests for 2.0 and above are rare in this town, so it was "special"!
