well, I have a 1.1 ohm coil I have been firing in my kayfun at 4.2 volts all day.
Well, sorry to say, but either your Kayfun isn't 1.1 ohms, or you have dirty contacts creating additional resistance. The ProVari 2.5 is limited to 3.5A, so a true 1.1 ohm atty would max out the v2.5's 3.5A current limit at 3.85V. Try using a high quality ohm reader on the Kayfun.
4.2V @ 1.1 ohms = 3.85A (breaks the 3.5A limit)
4.2V @ 1.1 ohms = 16.0W (breaks the 15W limit)
What you have is a 1.2 ohm Kayfun:
4.2V @ 1.2 ohms = 3.5A (at the limit, expect occasional misfires)
4.2V @ 1.2 ohms = 14.7W (close to the 15W limit)
Sorry, not trying to argue, but science is science, and facts are facts. You have at least 1.2 ohms of resistance.
ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!
Amperage Limiting to 3.5 amps "The ProVari will monitor and shut itself off if it detects any excessive over-current conditions. If this error occurs the ProVari will alert you by displaying E2 on the digital display. Fix: Lower your voltage setting. V2 - Version 2 now has a higher amperage limit of 3.5amp for low resistance atomizers and cartomizers."
and nice score , I have a few friends that own a vape shop as well. but we are respecting Provapes policies.
ProVape's policies do not disallow the sale of the betas, nor can they legally, as they charge the shops for them. If they were provided free of charge, or under an NDA (in which case the public could not see/play with them), or presented as prototypes to be retrieved at the end of the testing period, then and only then could they legally disallow their sale. Notice how the eBay auctions of a few P3's have not been taken down? Wonder why? They can't.
Additionally, each shop could get up to two. I got one, the other stayed in the shop for people to play with. And finally, the beta program is over, which is why you're starting to see a bunch of P3 betas up for sale now. I only got mine a few days ago, and specifically wanted it in time for ECC, where I showed it off and let many people play with it - just as good, if not better, than being confined to a single vape shop. Plus, I've given ProVape a LOT of feedback, corrections, and suggestions. They're in the feedback compilation mode now, and will decide what changes, if any, to make. I'm sure they'll still listen if problems develop with the betas in the field, and would probably want it sent in for evaluation, but they'd have to replace it since it was a purchased item, still under warranty.
I think I will rebuild out at 1.4 -1.6 per your advice to see if this helps with flavor production. that has been my only complaint. side by side with the nautilus BVC coil they just were not producing what the new coil was. but I think I am running them to hot. thank you for the tips and knowledge it is always appreciated
My pleasure - I'm always willing to talk tech. Feel free to PM me anytime also.
So, how 'bout those Molehill tips eh? They look fantastic on a Kayfun/ProVari setup!
Crazy weekend with grandson here but had a great time...then my daughter's little one (a year old) was in urgent care last night for ear infection so got up at the crack of dawn and headed down there to babysit for the day. I'm happy to help but am myself so far behind at work it isn't funny...but got a lot of love and snuggles today so will just have to put in some extra hours at the shop this week to make up for it.
I have no idea what a lathe to do what you do looks like. Can we see a pic? I used to run a lathe in the 70's to turn steel pellets into motor mounts. I am pretty certain that is not the same type of lathe.
