Provari 15w limit

[francomakou91]

I have a z Atty pro running at 1.5ohms

I can only keep it at 4.8volts which is about 15.5 watts

I stuck the z Atty on my prodigy and vaped it at 6v... Big difference...

Is there a good reason to keep the provari because I'm disappointed my 3 year old mod can push out so much more watts.

I'm curious what your voltage drop running a 1.5 ohm coil at 6 volts was. I'd guess it was actually closer to 5 volts under load. The provari at 4.8 volts should be actually pushing 4.8 volts.

Stacking batteries isn't the safest option, especially compared to the Provari which is running a single cell with lots of protection built into the electronics. I bet the run time is far superior, especially considering that the stacked battery mod would probably drop under 4.8 volts under load after not too much usage.

Prodigy 6v stays at 6v doesn't it? So you're telling me that the prodigy is not getting exactly 6v?

I don't trust stacked batteries at all that's why I bought a provari.. I went to a local cape shop.. The owner showed me the difference between 15w vs whatever he had which was crazy

Actual under load is 5.65 volts

Still puts out over 21watts

If you like vaping at 15+++ watts without stacking, you need a sub-ohm coil on single 4.2 battery on a mech mod.

I'm using my provari as a daily vape but I want to make a really powerful one to keep in case I fell like using it

What do you suggest

Makes me think if there is really such thing as a "powerful" mech mod. They only give power as much as what the battery can throw. Now if you are asking for a good mech mod, ask 10 people and you'll get 9 different answers. Personally, mods I currently rotate are a stealth and a ggts and a provari.

There's a reason the ProVari stops at 4.8 volts on a 1.5 ohm coil it's called safety. Just because we can vape at sub ohm and high voltage doesn't mean we should.

 

[francomakou91]

What's a sub ohm?

BTW people are using ribbon kanthal on their provaris

Are ribbon better than the wire? I have a z Atty pro with ceramic wick

Sub ohm is exactly what is says under 1 ohm. Wire or ribbon it doesn't really matter, either one will get you where you want to go. Lower number of coils on ribbon take the same area as more wire coils. It's kinda like the voltage wattage thing two different ways to get to the same point. It's a matter of preference more than anything else.

you're probably getting some voltage drop. theres no way its going to push out 6v under load. the only way to know for sure is to get a tankometer. that said, how was the vape experience in comparison? imho 15 watts on a provari is plenty of power on a well-built coil.

I keep one genesis rba with ss mesh at .8Ω on a mech (Roller from atmizoo) But I've quit using mesh with my Provari's. You can use silica in your zap and the Provari can run it better. I have eckowool (a different weave of silica) in my DID and RSST on provari's and it's awesome.
