ProVari + AGA t2 question

[serenity21899]

Just set up an AGA t2 on my ProVari. It's working good, but the ohms are a bit low (1.2Ω), and I sometimes get the E1 error. And it's a bit intense for me. For the higher resistance vapers, what stainless steel and what guage wire will get me closer to a 2 ohm coil? It's 400 mesh and 28 guage wire cuz I took a class at the local vape store, and that's what I was given to use (not what I brought with me).

my 32gauge kanthal 4/3 wrap is 1.7ohms. im using Ekowool though. if you get resistance drops it means you got a short on your coil.

Ok. It more like I took it off the device to vape something else. When I reattach, I will get the e1 one time, then it's fine as long as I don't remove it again. So, I am not sure. And I don't have a multimeter, I am going by what the ProVari tells me.

is the center post on the bottom of the connector sticking out a bit?

It was adjusted by a couple of people, and I was not getting the error at the store. I have come to the conclusion that I just need to rebuilt it with a higher guage wire. I set it aside for now as I am frustrated with it.

for what its worth, I always struggle with 28g, for my Provari 30g is uselly the smallest I go. I like to use as few wraps as possible on a genny, less finking with hot spots.

If you are drawing more than 3.5 amps you will get error.

Here is a calculator so you can figure out what your limits are. Just fill out 2 blocks and it will do the rest.

I aim for 2.0 ohm coils for the Provari's. I'm using 5 - 6 wraps of 30g wire. I use the drill bit method of making the coil and slide it over my wick.

I'd say wrong tool for the job, get a mechanical for the gennie and it will taste so much better and be easier to set-up.

Next purchase for me. Just deciding what I want, but that's a whole other thread....

For my provari and regulated mech set-ups, I shoot for 2 to 2.5Ω. As such, I use 32g wire. On my unregulated Mech set-ups, I shoot for 1 to 1.5Ω. Then, I use either 28g or 30g depending on the wicking material.
