Ohms dropping on provari

[Agonoize]

I started using a new smoktec dct tank today 3.5 ml, 3 ohm it was at 3.1 ohm all day didnt get to use much. Now its been dropping and is at 2.6 ohm getting less vapor. Any thoughts? I tried a normal carto it holds at 3.ohm.

Nature of the beast. Some cartos go up, some go down upon usage. The good thing is that you have a VV mod that can measure and be changed to whatever change the carto goes through.

I had this happen yesterday on a single coil yesterday. I was happily vaping away at 5v on a 2.8ohm carto and suddenly every hit was HOT. I measured the carto and it had dropped to 2.4ohms. Dropped voltage down to 4.6v and happily went my way.

Don't waste your time thinking about it.

Happy vaping!!

Thanks for the info, ill drop the volts.

Find sweet spot, where your juice tastes best while producing the most vapor (for me it's between 8.5 - 9Watts) and then work out the math on what you need to set your Provari based on what your Atomizer/cartomizer measures.

You can use this link to an online Ohms law calculator: Ohm's Law Calculator

Enter the Voltage and the Resistance, and it will give you the output Wattage. Get as close to your sweet spot, set the Provari, and off you go.

Ykruss, thanks for that. I left it alone for awhile and its vaping great again. So i think that thread Solved the question.

Aren't you glad you've got that Provari? I only buy 3.0 ohm cartos. The other week, I switched out the carto in my tank, and my Provari was giving me an error message. I'm thinking WTH? So I checked the AO's and it was reading at 1.5 ohm! One must have rolled from one bin to the other at the manufacter. Lowered my volts and kept on vapin! lol!

Dusty and Kay are right. Hit your sweet spot and keep going. I sometimes end up going chain vaping for a while and if it gets hot, I let it sit for a few minutes. It is a fantastic device with a tank.
