OK - so i'm liking my new Provari so much and the people and products at ProVape I'm considering buying a Provape-1 as a backup and 'carry piece'. Just looking to understand the 3.7V technology of the ProVape-1.

So here's my question. It's using a 3.7V battery - does it deliver 3.7V under load consistently through the life of the battery charge? Or does it drop as the battery runs down. Or is the 'loaded voltage' regulated at something less than 3.7V for the life of the battery charge? If so what does it 'run at' for loaded voltage.

As I understand the ProVari it has a circuit booster to deliver loaded voltage based on what voltage I have it set to.

If I understand how the ProVape-1 works, I could set my ProVari to the ProVape-1's rated load voltage to simulate it with various ohm rated attys before buying one. Then I'd know better what to expect of the ProVape-1.

If you understand my question(s) thanks in advance for answering.

I to would be interested in this.

My understanding is that the ProVape 1 is not regulated so it would drop a bit under load. The recommended battery is the AW IC protected high drain 750 mah batteries. These tend to put out at a pretty even level until they die. The drop off is fast unlike lesser batteries that will gradually drop off so the performance is so so after the batterie gets lower in charge. Not so with the high drain AW's. I have a ProVape 1 and can verify this. The drop off is fairly quick and then nothing.

You do have to find a setup that works good with the given voltage of course, but 3.7 volts is common and there are lots of atties, etc that are going to work well with the ProVape.

Thanks Stubby for the the info, and letting me know I'm not alone in asking the question. I'm a bit surprised that no one has answered. Did I stump the experts? Or is it just a lame question? :oops:
