Multiple coils are totally different in their power requirement. You may be vaping on a .5 ohm quad coil set up at 50watts but thats not exactly true. Your actually vaping on 4 2 ohm coils at 12.5 watts each. I laugh at all the proclaimed sub ohmers that aren't really sub ohmers once you break down the specs of a build. In simplest terms those running multiple coils are just vaping more than one atty at a time. A true sub ohm coil is almost unvapeable and carries a lot of risk. One being that current can jump a gap instantly creating a dead short even if the coil stays intact (and shocking the vaper). I don't see many people vaping sub ohm single coil set ups.
While you're correct with the multi-coil thing, everything else "sure is news to me."
I use mechs. I like my dual coil builds measuring around .4Ω, and my single coil builds around .5Ω - .6Ω.
The single coil is warmer and hits full and quick like a strong cigarette. It's my ADV. The dual coil is denser and vapes more like a pipe to me. No cloud chasing going on over here.
Vaping "multiple atties at the same time" in a dual coil or larger setup is something that needs power. People like it, I like it. It's not an imagined difference or snake oil to vape multi-coil setups. Why is sub-ohming a dual coil "fake" to you and bringing you to laughter? The total load is sub-ohm, is it not?
Is this the new scoff to expect from Provari people? "I'm vaping my Kayfun at 12.5W, and each of your four coils are only getting 12.5W just like me!!! You're a fake sub-ohmer! Hahahahaha"
Well dude, buy four Provari's, stick 'em all in your mouth at the same time, and vape that. Ho ho ho...
Also, a growing number of "more accessible" toppers are coming out that benefit from and need higher wattage. Kayfun dual airflow V2, Joyetech Delta, Vaping Donuts for RDAs. It goes without saying that other major manufacturers like Aspire, Kanger, and Innokin will quickly follow suit with toppers and multi-coil setups taking advantage of and requiring higher wattage. Why? Because clearly the norm is now 30W... even on cheap entry level APVs.
Regardless, the Provari 2.5 and P3 users will not even be able to
tryout these new generation toppers. What a bummer.
Kind of like a Blackberry owner looking over the shoulder of somebody having fun downloading stuff from the Appstore years ago. Missing out on something, eh?
What the provari 2.5 and v3 can do is more than enough for most single and dual coil set ups on the market right now
"On the market right now" - Come state this again 3-6 months from now.
and when you take those devices along with the safe build recommendations into account 20w is pushing the upper edge of those recommendations since the safe standard seems to be 1ohm or greater.
The upper edge is 1Ω? On todays high drain hybrid battery chemistry? Please...
Also, see above again about the "multiple atty/sticking four Provari's into your mouth at the same time thingy" and the power required for that.
The fact that they took the initiative to create a self diagnostic system
The self diagnostic system is pretty gimmicky and superfluous. Not that I take issue with it or anything. It's probably about as awesome as being able to load your own picture on an Evic Supreme screen. Whooopdeedoo.
and bring out a stronger , more reliable connector format than the current 510 actually puts them ahead in the market as far as innovation goes. I for one am tired of replacing attys and mods because the 510 threads give out and will be getting a V3 just because of the stronger connector format. 510 is fine for egos and small tanks/drippers but leaves a lot to be desired in the reliability/durability department.
In the 80's Betamax was clearly better than VHS... better doesn't win in these scenarios. Not that Provape is "licensing" the connector format or anything. I agree it would be nice for APVs and Mechs to ditch the 510 connection, but until tiny cigalikes and egos disappear it's not likely to ever happen. The connection point is going to remain that small. Honestly the strongest hope is the 20x1 threading if anything might "stick" for the advanced mod market.
Enjoy the zero toppers in existence that use this new Provari connector. I'm "sure" all the major manufacturers will jump right on it. How many people hopped on the
Z2 threading standard eh? Provari would have actually been smarter to use the Z2 or 20x1 threading... but nope.
They also for some reason decided it was infinitely wise to go against the clear majority and make their mod 23mm instead of 22mm, you know, so 99% of toppers made will never match up flush.
I don't like comparing mods to cars or other such things... but I really can draw a little bit of a "Blackberry" comparison:
Blackberry: "iPhones are for kids. We cater to the professional businessman. Our customer base will
always be there for us."
Sigh...
