Is there a problem with my Lava tube v1.5

[danm219]

I have the Vari-Tube v1.5 (lava tube want a be) made be Young June Company. My question is when I check the ohms on my Vision Ego (stardust) Clearomizer V2 with the long wicks and get different reading. The stardust i am using is 2.1 - 2.4 ohms. When I check it with the vari tube it reads 2.3 ohms than I check it again and it says 2.9 ohms so I take a toot and than it's back to 2.2 ohm. I notice that whenever i set the voltage to 4.0 or over I start to get a burnt taste. If I put the same clearomizer on the ego twist and set it to 4.0 and over no burnt taste.

Something could be intermittent in the connection of the Stardust to the Provari resulting in different resistance readings. But, based on your report of burnt flavor, It sounds like it is likely to be in the low 2 ohm range. A lot of the clearo's are unhappy with higher voltages and you may be finding this to be the case on the Provari. The Provari has a 3.5 amp output capability but the Twist is limited to 2.5 amps. Often, with low resistance devices, the twist voltage will top out far below the setting. Of curse you won't know this as the Twist gives you no indication, just fails to deliver the set voltage. Provari will give you what you set or inform you that it is unable to. Reduce the voltage on the Provari to something like 3.4 volts and see if that eliminates the burnt taste. If it does, you can slowly adjust the voltage to suit you.

where'd you get provari from flyer?

From Provape. I believe they are the only ones that sell it.

no...i meant in regards to this topic.
he asked about his lavatube and you answered as if he asked about a provari

Geesh...I really have no idea. Shouldn't post before my 2d cup of coffee in the morning.

i figured it was something along those lines. sorry for the topic hijack!

but what flyer says sounds about right, when the LT is set at 4.0v it delivered the 4v and burnt the clearo.
with the the twist it couldn't handle the amperage so even though it said it was at 4v it was probably closer to 3.5ish, aka not burnt.

What about the ohm meter on the lava tube is it working ? do they give different reading sometimes ?

i'm somewhat near to electronics but as i understand it, if it were two parallel coils that were 3 ohms each it would be 1.5ohms total resistance so it might have been reading the resistance of one coil and then when fired it read the resistance of both together. again, i'm nowhere near up to par on electronics
