Oh duh

I've been using some of the new dual coil cartos for the last week, rated (and measures) at 1.5 ohms. I've got the ProVari set at 4.0 volts. Three times this week I've pulled the PV away and noticed the display is on, and showing 23. Huh? There's no 23 display on this thing. I even checked the manual again, just to be sure. And there is no 23 display, for anything.

I just realized - if I read 23 the other way around, it becomes E2. Heh. I guess 4 volts is right on the border for 1.5 ohms, and sometimes it crosses the border. I'll bump it down to 3.9 volts.

+3 this is so funny, luckily I turned it around b4 I went on the site to look it up......... lmao

I've heard that the dualies have been ran as high as 7.4 with no probs. I wonder if the Provari just thinks it can't handle it. BTW, I'm a newb when it comes to all this VV stuff so please excuse me if I'm not understanding something correctly.

Welcome Morfeeus!

I would have to say that the ProVari knows it can't handle it. Read on...

The ProVari has limits, which is a good thing. These limits protect everything. If you exceed those limits the ProVari is programmed to show an error code.

The following is the E2 error code taken from ProVari owner's manual.

E2 – Current Limit Exceeded – If this error appears, lower the voltage on the device or use a higher resistance atomizer. Once the problem has been fixed, the ProVari will reset itself.

I hope this helps with you understanding this.

They weren't running at 7.4 volts off battery power, no matter what things were set for. The batteries for PVs can only put out so much power/current. It doesn't matter how much you're asking for with high voltage/low resistance, the battery will only put out as much as it's able. Of course, that's on a protected battery. On an unprotected the battery may try to deliver and wind up blowing itself up or starting on fire.

The ProVari turns itself off when there's no way to meet the power demand being asked, and trying to meet it could cause problems. It's a protection circuit.
