I would like to know where they mention using 1.5 ohm atty's voids their warranty. The only mention I have seen or heard of voiding the warranty was in case of damage or physical abuse by the user (or some wording that pretty much means the same).

No. I do remember reading a disclaimer when I bought some HH.357s to try out that they are not to be used on eGo style batteries. the Op never owned a ProVari...
Oh, here it is-
Well, do you have a store near you? The people there would probably like to help figure out what you need. While you are there you would also get a chance to try different mod styles and even flavors. The B&M shops helped me a bunch and I return to buy flavors. As a matter of fact I did like one style they were selling. I tried it and the went to the forum suppliers here and purchased the complete starter kit for about the same money that they wanted me to spend that did not include batteries, charger, or even a topper.
I am sorry that you had a bad relationship with your Provari, perhaps you can develop a better relationship with a different mod.

Your post makes no sense. You had a Provari for 3 years but it never worked correctly. You never say what didn't work correctly. Lets be honest here. The Provari is a regulated battery device to power a E-Liquid atomizer. What didn't work correctly in that regard?
Then you go on to say something about how it sometimes worked to blow clouds. It is not the battery device that blows the clouds. It is the atomizer you have attached to it.
It is a good thing you lost it. It got tired of dealing with you.
Get real.

It's like the new Provari owner who started a thread that his Provari didn't work right and started complaining.
After about 3 pages of questioning, it was determined that the owner was attempting to turn the Provari on & off by clicking the Provari 5 times like his eGo batteries.
He never bothered to read the pdf owners manual or the "How to Use a Provari" video demo on the Provape website. Get real.

OP is has been a member since 2010, with well under 200 posts. Not exactly an active ECF member or nerdy e-cig hobbyist.
A very quick 60sec glance of past posts easily reveals that he/she was a 45+ year PAD smoker. You can see the Provari was ordered somewhere around 04/2012, and the member was very ecstatic about it.
Not all vapers are avid hobbyists who are internet and tech/research savvy with their devices, they just want to be simple end users. Screwing something on top of an APV and pressing the fire button is about as far as their skill set goes with e-cigs.
Congrats. Judgmental much? Snooty conclusions much? Oh wait...
I can sort of maybe shed some light on this:
I recall another thread a few months ago where a Provari owner, who hadn't signed in or posted to ECF in a few years, chimed in calling some people idiots, because Provapes warranty explicitly stated not to use atomizers under 1.8Ω with the Provari, and using such an atomizer would immediately void your warranty. He was using a V1 Provari, and had no idea about the V2 or V2.5.
Prior to V2, believe it or not, the Provari had an even wimpier Amp limit than V2.5's current 3.5A limit. Apparently, using LR atomizers on a V1 Provari was a warranty voiding no-no. The majority of Cisco spec attys are LR.
So, I can see Provape claiming "user error" voiding an older version of the Provari warranty, back in the day... Especially if the user kept using explicitly un-approved attys on it, and especially if the V1 wasn't so swell at preventing user error by throwing those wonderful error codes at you the V2+ does.
Just a theory of mine, and probably right, but maybe not.
Whatever...
Stay classy Provarinati.

Read the whole thread people. He DOES say what the problems were/ are. Things happen. We ask a lot from a small 3/4"x1" board. Nothing can ever go wrong with those? Is it so impossible to believe that there could be an intermittent problem? I guess nobody here ever owned a car.
This thread is sad...People who would just die if anything happened to their beloved ProVari? Seriously? I'd be a little bummed, but damn. I own Provaris...4 of them. I'm usually one of the ones defending them against the haters. But to think this guy is a troll or a liar because of his experience just kinda sucks.

9 pages? No thanks. IMHO it really doesn't matter whether he did state what problems he had. He lost it. If it never worked correctly it should of been returned within the first few days of use or within the first year, IE the warranty period.
I never said he was a liar or a troll. I bought a new Nissan truck in 2001. It has a constant leak in the light assembly over the back of the cap. Every time it rained, which happens a lot here in GA, it collect water inside the light. I had Nissan change it every time I took it in for service until finally the upgrade light assembly they used didn't leak and didn't collect water.
I didn't wait until the warranty was over to start doing something about the problems I found with it that should not be there.
Or to think he/she opened a membership up 4 years ago, established ownership of a Provari over 2 years ago, just to set up this glorious opportunity to troll and hate on a Provari is equally mind boggling.
And here I was thinking the dude who implemented the FIVE YEAR old Dr Frank N Furter twitter punchline was clever...
I didn't know version 1 couldn't run low res atties. Is that the one you had OP? If so, then yes, Provape may not have been willing to fix it under warranty. I'm sorry for the bad experience. I'm sure you'll find something more suited to you these days. I still do recommend that you spend the bulk of your money on finding the right kind of topper to handle thicker juice. Sticking with drippers will likely continue to be your best bet. Another thing to consider is possibly switching out the silica in any clearo you have, and trying cotton out. It appears to wick faster for me, and it may work the same for you. Once you find the right topper, at the right resistance, you will then be in a better position to find the right device for the topper. Please make sure you read the fine print on any device you purchase, if you do decide to buy something on the more expensive side. As for Provari, with the improved chip in v2 and 2.5, the issue that may have caused yours to fail is likely resolved. If you found it, you may want to consider selling it in the classies to fund a new device. Someone will likely buy it, as Provari can and has upgraded the chips in older devices for a fee. You won't recoup all your losses, but it won't be a complete waste either. Or, if their technology at the time didn't completely ruin it for you, you may want to consider requesting that they replace the chip to a newer one yourself. The new chip will be able to handle 1.5 ohms for sure, as that's what I typically run in my Kayfun style tanks.
Sounds like your ProVari might have "Multi-puffer's syndrome." Symptoms can range from unexpected voltage changes to no vapor being produced. This is often mistakenly perceived as "user error."
Cause: rapid pushing of the ProVari's firing button, taking small quick puffs or pulsing the coil, causing the ProVari to think you are trying to access the menu.
Cure: take longer puffs, or wait between puffs.
Depends on the tank.
If youre talking about a clearo-tank then yes they dont perform very well with high vg juices.
Ive had zero issues using 10/90 pg/vg or even 100 percent vg in my carto tank with pre-punched 2 hole smoktech cartos.
Thank you Beckdg.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but had problems logging in & my daughter got married.
Still hobbling along on egos.
I can't use pg only vg, pg makes me cough, a lot.
So I'm looking forward to finding something that will handle the vg & produce a lot of vapor.
I don't mind spending money for a quality product.
Thank to all for your responses.

Good luck in your search. Two juice suppliers that Ive found who offer great 100 percent or nearly 100 percent vg juices are Alien Visions and Fusion. They both 'cut" their juices with up to 30 percent flavoring. This makes for some damned tasty juice and is also easier on your equipment.
Hope that helps.
