Provari can't do 6 volts with single coil 3.0 ohm cartomizer?

[bgoracy]

I only have one carto at the moment. It will throw the error on anything above 4.8. I will test with others later and post back. Provape seems to think that the error is normal with my setup at 6 volts as seen in their response. My reason for posting this here was to see if everyone agrees or not and also ask if anyone can successfully use this setup with their Provari.

Thanks!

Maybe a moderator will move this thread over to here: Provari forum If not I would post your question there as you now have access to posting in it, there very well be someone there that can be of further assistance to you.

I am use a 3.0Boge slotted in a tank on my provari at 6ohms and have never received the dreaded e1 yet. Everytime I check my cartos ohms I get a 3.0 with no drop off.

 

[DCB305]

BTW , there seems to be all sorts of battery protection built in to the Provari, have you tried it with another battery or is this happening with both batteries you got?

I just tried this for 30 minutes with the exact same settup. Burning hot liquid popping up trough my driptip lol, carto did read 3ohm and im not getting any error. Its way to hot, not plesant to vape for me but there was no error so yea.

*edit after reading post right above me*

Its not exact same settup as yours, no extention cap here.

Hello,

I changed to a new carto and ran it at 5.0 volts for about 40 minutes with no errors. I will leave it like that and see if I get any errors after extended use.

DCB305 - Both batterries were showing the E1 error at 6 volts after about an hour.

jnnfrlsw - do run your setup all day with no errors? If so, I have to believe that there is something wrong with my Provari. Again, I have tested with several cartos from several vendors. Where do you get your cartos?

Thanks!

BTW I have no problems pushing my Provari up around it's limits with any carto I have used so far (but I don't stay up at that level all day as it's not my preferred vape) , so I would definitely get with Provape on this issue.

So you do not feel that David from Provapes explanation is correct?

Does anyone have any links to any websites that sell 3.5 to 4 ohms cartomizers that will fit in a DCT tank? Does such a thing exist?

Thanks!

 

[DCB305]

I believe him absolutely and after re-reading I can see that if the resistance were to drop to 2.5 ohm during use then it would be very close to the wattage limit of 14.5 watts and at 2.48 (a further .02 ohm drop) would push it past the 14.5 watt limit. The attomizer can cool rapidly explaining the 2.7 reading immediately after the Error 1, so that may be what you are experiencing. I would just try rotating carto's to keep them from getting that hot where the resistance may fall below that 2.5 ohm point. So in retrospect I would have to agree with David and say that everything is as it should be. I hope this helps.

Apparently jnnfrlsw can run it with no issues.

"I am use a 3.0Boge slotted in a tank on my provari at 6ohms and have never received the dreaded e1 yet. Everytime I check my cartos ohms I get a 3.0 with no drop off."

I am assuming jnnfrlsw meant 6 volts not ohms...

That wil not be the solution either because what makes the vape is the watt and at. 6 volts and 3 ohms your getting 12 watts to get 12 watts outanything over 3ohms you would have to be over 6 volts.

 

[bgoracy]

So basically there is really no way to use 6 volts with the Provari without getting E1 errors? Seems kind of like false advertising on their part.

Well your useage may vary from his. IDK how long or consistent he is burning/using that carto at 6 volts maybe he doesn't use it long enough/consistent/constant enough for it to get hot enough to dip below 2.5 ohms.

Well if in fact the cause is the cartomizer dipping below 2.5 ohms then it's not necessarily the device that is at fault. I would try rotating 2 cartos to keep them from getting that hot and if you still experience issues than maybe it is the device. Maybe ask for an exchange or if you don't like the product maybe the Darwin is more up your ally. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

Thanks for all of your comments DCB305!

bgoracy,

On the one hand, the response you got from ProVape makes some sense. Again, if the carto resistance drops transiently to below 2.48 Ohm, that will trigger the wattage protection.

I don't know, but I think ProVari's circuit "feels" sudden changes in resistance as well somehow and throws E1 to "preempt" a hard short. I had a few cartos have a partial short (basically a part of the coil shorts). In this case the resistance dropped suddenly from 3.0 Ohm to 2.4 Ohm. The ProVari threw E1 right away, but then, after I checked the resistance, it kept going because the new resistance really was okay for the voltage. Sure, I tossed the carto, but you get my point, I hope.

On the other hand, I don't think this should happen every single time, like you describe.

Third, you may want to try a good quality 3.0 Ohm atomizer. I really don't want to burn my carto trying 6 volts again, but I have been firing my 3 Ohm HH .357 at 6 Volts (blowing on it without vaping, it's too much for me) for the last half hour without E1. It's now really hot, so I'll stop - I already took an expensive risk Cartos tend to have flimsy coils that maybe are more unstable at 6 V. I really am speculating, though.

Lastly, I really think that if this thread is not moved to the ProVape then you should probably post there as well - the suppliers are not allowed to reply in here, they can only do so on that forum.

Hello,

This is my first thread. How do I move the whole thing to the Provape forum?

Thanks!
