Hopefully the wife will let me get an early Christmas present considering I just got the titanium 2.5 a few weeks ago.
I see there are five boost levels and it is based on time. My question is, what is the power elevated to during this boost period? Anyone?
I use BVC coils 1.8 ohm on a Silo Carto/Clearo system at 9.8 Watts

My guess is that the boost feature elevates the wattage by about 3 watts. Vape360 would have to confirm that though. It might be a percentage increase over your current watt/volt setting too
I think it depends on the setting you are at and the resistance you have... the settings (1-5) are duration in .25 second increments. Boost will not exceed the limits of the P3 and you'll get a warning message to turn off boost or drop your level if you set it on when you're too close to the upper limits of the device ...
ADD: What ever they are doing, it works nicely especially with thicker gauge that takes time to heat up.
I'd like to know to satisfy my curiosity. From what I understand on the new DNA40, it will jack up the power as high as its capacity to get the coil up to set temp as quickly as possible. Don't quote me on that,however. Seems a 3-watt boost would be kind of wimpy.
Well, when you're at 18.5W and boost is on, or what ever setting you have is already approaching 5.5A, what do you think should happen?
Add- or whatever setting you have for power and resistance put you close to 6V
Well yes, I can understand that. It you're already at 20 watts or 5.5 amps then any boost setting would yield an overcapacity error. But what if you're at 18 watts and 4 amps? Will it boost to only an additional 2 watts or will it error you? This is why I ask how much the boost feature jacks up the power? Is it a set amount or does it max it out to its capacity?

Thanks Mowgli. Still doesn't answer how much power the boost is providing. However, this last sentence, "Note that turning the ProVari up to max wattage and boosting up to 5 will not exceed the maximum output of the unit which is up to 20 watts." suggests maybe the boost is equivalent to whatever the remaining capacity of the Provari is. Basically, if you are at or near the capacities of the Provari (whether it is watts, volts, or amps) the boost will have very little or no impact.
Yeah the DNA 40 throws down a massive amount of power to get it up to temp, but this is with NR nickel wire only I believe. With Kanthal, the DNA40 doesn't go over its current watt setting. At least that's what I thought I read. I was just going by the sound of the coil when I'm using boost mode. It could be a 5 watt increase, but that wouldn't do near as much for those vaping over 15 watts. My guess remains at 3 watts =]
Need some input from Vape360!

That comment was during beta.. but the manual says the same thing... vague
I just ran up to 19.8W at 5.4V on a 1.5 ohm build with 26ga. - boost set for 3 (3/4 of a sec) no error, no warning, it worked fine- although I can't tell you if it did anything ....
Yes, I understand the DNA 40 the same. That nickel wire has some low resistance at similar gauges relative to Kanthal (in so far as I can tell). And you could be right about the 3 watts. I have no idea. But I am curious to know. I saw some vid somewhere on the DNA 40 and it was doubling the power during the boost period. It started out around 20 and the readout went to 38 before falling back to the set wattage of 20.
Hmmmm. So you set your watts at 19.8 and the boost did not have any appreciable impact? I can believe that. It probably boosted you 0.2 watts which is the equivalent of a fart in a windstorm.
I think you are right. Did it have an error code or error explanation or did it just sound the alarm and leave it to you to decide what you screwed up?
