ohms and volts on your Provari ?

[Terry Koontz]

What ohms and volts are you using on your Provari ?
I use 1.5 ohm coils and either 4.5 or 4.9 volts depending on actual coil reading.
Just curious.

7 wraps of 30 GA on this little blue screwdriver is 1.7 ohms
I vape @ 3.6 volts

I usually stick to the old trusted formula of take the ohms+2= volts

So with my Nautilus 1.8 ohm coils, I start at 3.8volts.
1.8ohm+2=3.8volts.

With a 1.5 I would start at 3.5 and then adjust up or down to taste.
Your mileage may vary.

did not know that formula !
thanks

It'll usually put you in the ballpark of where you want to be, it's worked for me for four years now.

Some coils (the Nautilus BVC coils for example) list recommended voltages not just wattage. Although, my vape is fairly close to the formula-- 1.6 coil vaping at 3.3 V. You could check your coils to see if they have any recommendations.

they do.
just wanted to see what others are using.

With mine I do the old Volts Squared / Resistance = Watts so reverse it to the [Square Root] of Watts X Resistance.

Example, I generally like 8 watts on my MTL devices, and presently using a 1.6ohm coil

8 X 1.6 = 12.8, square root of that is 3.5778, rounded up gives you 3.6v

A little more technical

I use 4.2v ~ 5v with a 1.8Ω nautilus bvc.
When replacing the head I start off a new thoroughly primed head at 3.6v & work up over the first at least half tank.

1.7ohm

3.5-3.6V

I use to build my coils in the 1.3 to 1.4 range , because at that time I wanted the max wattage out of the 3 amp, 15 watt device

Wondering if you know that there are several provari threads to share your newfound joy in? All provari, all day.

here's one, there are more. probably all in the Lounge area.

I’m no Provari expert, only have one, but I’m curious. You said you are using a 1.5 coil at 4.9 volts. The power table online computes that as just over 16 watts at 3.27 amps.
How does it vape at that setting? Do you ever get an error code?

My bad.
Should have been 4.5 V = 13.5 W
