I just got two HH.357 (1.5 ohm) atomizers in the mail and am vaping HHV Gandalf on my Provari V2 at 3.8 volts. I couldn't be happier with this setup. The vapor production is huge and full of flavour and if the positive reviews I've read are true these atty's last a good long while.

Is anyone else using this setup? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

cheers,
Adrean

I've been looking at the HH.357's for about a week now, just really having a tough time pulling the trigger :unsure: I enjoy dripping, generally though I do it for sampling or when I want to hit a flavor for a shorter (an hour or so) period of time without filling a carto or clearo. Looking at how the HH's are made it would seem like they are meant more for using a flavor for a longer period of time (hours/days) essentially like you would with a tank but obviously dripping. I love the raw flavor and hit of dripping but I tend to bounce around on flavors during the day, got a line of 6 clearo's in front of me not counting hitting the atty :laugh:

Any input from others familiar with the HH would be appreciated...

Provari recommends high resistance atomizers.

https://provape.zendesk.com/entries/22433668-is-there-a-preferred-resistance-to-use-with-the-provari


Yes, we recommend using a higher resistance atomizer. This will give you the most voltage options. For Cartomizers we prefer the 3.0ohm and for Atomizers High Voltage 2.8-3.2 ohm work best.

Low Resistance - Low resistance atomizers/cartomizers are not the best to use, they will limit the voltage options that you can go up to. Also note that as a atomizer heats up, their resistance drops. When they get dry the resistance also drops. If you have your voltage set higher and the resistance drops, it will cause the E1,E2 errors. When using a higher resistance atomizer you will be able to dial up the voltage into the higher ranges and have more room for the atomizer resistance to move around without getting into the limits of the device or driving the atomizer into a very low range or short.

I'm happy to know that my photo looks like a sir. =[

To do list: Update profile picture.

But you are very welcome!

You don't much look like a sir to me.

On topic: I'm considering getting one of these. They look like they might work for me. I'm pretty much a chain-vaper when I'm home on the computer or watching a movie or something. How long do these hold out when chaining?

Sounds good man.

I literally just ordered a Provari minutes ago.

I had a 510 tank setup and really wasn't impressed with it. To be honest, it was collecting dust. Prior to that I had another setup years ago that I didn't like from day one.

I was about to give up on vaping until, dare I say it...I started buying the disposable blu's from quick check.

I was impressed by the amount of vapor it made compared to the systems I bought in the past.

This led me back online to see where the technology had gone.

The youtube reviews and demonstrations of the Provari, as well as the the positive reviews here made me purchase one.

Like any rational person, once I saw the price I stared at my laptop for several minutes. I decided to move forward anyway!

I hope they are as good as I'm hoping for. With that price tag my expectations are REALLY high.

I'm glad you like it...I can't wait for it to arrive.

This concept is something that does not make sense to me yet. My distant memory from HS Physics tells me V = I * R. By varying voltage (V) or resistance (R) , you change the amount of current (I). Isolating for I, we get I = V / R. This means, to me, that it doesn't really matter if you go low resistance - all you get is the desired current (I) with LESS voltage. So, yeah, if you get thrills from cranking 120 volts, get high resistance.

Am I missing something?

I read the same thing somewhere else as well.
I guess the argument in favour of higher ohms for the atty is that it allows a wider range of usable voltage settings. On the 1.5 ohm I've got a safe range of up to about 4 v which is fine by me. But I get what you are saying--with a higher ohm atty, it just means that you have to crank up the voltage higher to get the same results that you got from the 1.5

Right. I think a lot of people miss that point. Conversely, you don't need to buy a gig-watt baseball bat device when you can just buy LR atomizers. My little Riva 510 with 2 ohm atties delivers lots of hit and vapes.

The only benefit to VV that I can see is on the statement by some people that different juices perform differently on different power settings. To that, though, my observation is that the little Riva 510 set-up delivers all you could want in flavor and vapes, so I don't know what higher current will do except possibly give a burnt taste. I have used higher resistance atties on it and found it resulted in much reduced flavor. .5 ohms makes quite a difference.

I HAVE found a dramatic increase in the flavour of CopperCreek House blend (a very thick juice) and Gandalf when vaping on my Provari vs my Ego. So I definately see the benefit of being able to bump up the voltage for certain juices.
cheers...
