New Provari. I don't get it.

[martialmedia]

So I went out and bought a Provari to try the mod thing. I don't get it. Does running low resistance at low voltage put out the same amount of vapor as running high resistance at high voltage, providing they are both "properly" tuned? If it's true, whats the need for the voltage range? Can a properly tuned eGo put out as much vapor?

 

[CloudZ]

Yes.

For using different resistance toppers on the same PV. Fine tuning for different e liquid.

With both properly set up and "tuned", an APV will give a more intense vape. Not to say the vape from an ego can't be good, but it has lower limits to the amount of power it can put out. I'll leave it up to the fanatics to explain all the other advantages.

Lower resistance at lower voltage allows the coils to get hotter quicker, producing a warmer vape, at the cost of slightly more battery life (lower resistance pulls more power (amps) from the battery).

Higher resistance with higher voltage takes the coils a little longer to get hot and not as hot as LR coils, but produces a cooler vape, at the same time using less battery power.

Warmer vape vs cooler vape = personal preference.

Many of us use many different flavors. Flavors can taste different and/or better at a different voltage setting - their "sweet spot". I find that fruit flavors are better at a lower voltage. Tobacco and coffee flavors better at a higher voltage.

I also prefer a "cooler vape". I use a 2.5 - 3.0 ohm coil at 3.6 - 4.5 volts, depending upon the flavor I'm vaping. Low resistance coils are too harsh for me.

Thanks for the info. I'll get some LR atomizers and try it. Right now I'm 2.8 at about 4v.

A lot of people use the easy way...just add 2 to your ohms. So, theoretically, 2.8 atomizer can go up to 4.8 volts. Play around with it, everyone has their own "sweet spot".

One thing to keep in mind....

If you are running dual head coils (e.g. Protank 3, iClears 15 or 30's, Aerotank, etc...) your vape will be cooler for a given voltage than a single coil of the same rating. This is because the load is halved across each coil.

I was beginning to think I was the only one out here! VW from 5-8 watts depending on resistance. To me cooler vapes produce far more flavor. Don't give two hoots about clouds. In fact I would like to see a no vapor liquid for true stealth vaping.

I vape around 4.1-4.4 on my provari with my resistance between 1.4 and 1.8 ohms.

That's actually not a bad starting point. Using resistances that most VV devices work with (1.5 - 3.0 ohms or so), setting the voltage to 2 volts higher than the coil resistance gives you around 8.0 - 8.5 watts of power, which many people find gives a good vape on a regulated mod.

As always, adjust up or down as needed based on your preferences and which specific juice you are vaping.

That doesn't burn out your coils? I'm running 2.8 @ 4.1v. If I go to 4.4 it starts to burn the liquid.

Liquid is considerably less tolerant to heat than metal - Thus Vapor

Wire can handle a reasonable range of heat and is assisted by the liquid drawing off heat as it passes in contact with the coil. The more fluid passes, the more the cooling effect.

Burnt liquid is usually a wicking issue.
