1.5 ohm ones will usually work at low voltages, though sometimes they can be finicky since the resistance can change a little while you're vaping. If you're trying to use the 1.25 ohm ones, you're SOL since even at 3.3 volts they'll trip the over-current protection in the unit. 2 ohm and higher work fine, though 
Well, you can always trade them in the classies if they don't ;-) Hope everything works out for you
I'm using 3.0 DC on my ProVari and they work fine. Don't know if that helps you.
Also, warning with your tank and punched cartos.. if your using pg/vg mix,, try keeping VG on lighter end of mix. I have juices that work really well in DCT MAP tank at 70/30 pg/vg mix, but 40/60 pg/vg is hit and or miss in tank.
Hope this helps too))
Everybody's experience on that seems to vary quite a bit. Lately I've had a couple of AVE juices (Gorilla Juice and Root Beer, both all-VG and very thick) in a couple of my tanks and they're still wicking just fine after several refills. Other than a handful of pre-mixes, I DIY most of my juice and use a high VG ratio, also with no issues.
Still, different cartos will perform differently, so it's still sound advice to try a thinner juice to see if it improves anything ;-)

I had the same problem when I first got my provari. I was used to using the DC 1.25ohm and the 1.5. They are right on the edge of the cutoff setting. Once I found some 2.0 dual coils I haven't had any problems. I get my DC 2.0 from Brent at Hoosier E Cig Supply lowest prices I have found. Good luck with your provari-gotta love it!
I've been away from ECF for about 8 months since I got my Provari. Decided to check back in and see what was new. Not much has changed in regards to PV's... at least in terms that there is something out there that rivals the Provari in any marked terms.
However, my interest was piqued in the dual coil atomizers that I read about on ECF--not carto's as I am not much of a fan; I love my direct drip. So I ordered a 1.5 ohm dc atty yesterday (that's all they sale at this time) from Clouds of Vapor based on the reviews from their site. According to reviews on cov, people are running these at 3.7-5 volts with no issues on their Provari, along with other PV's. What am I missing? Is StevefromNY situation just an anomaly, or is there a lot of people having this issue?
cheers and thanks,

I think you answered you own question here.. dual coil attys are different than dual coil cartos? Is that what your asking?
No experience with this type of 'atty',, so can't comment. I try to stay away from anything low resistance, when it comes to ProVari.

If it's really 1.5 ohm total resistance (two 3 ohm coils in parallel), then anybody telling you they run it at 5v on their Provari is just blowing smoke. It can't handle the amperage for that. The only way a dual coil atty would work at 5v on a Provari is if the coils were wired in series, giving a total resistance of 3 ohms (if both coils are 1.5 ohm)
I can't really comment beyond that as I have no experience with those attys, nor do I know anything about them other than that they exist ;-)

Agreed. And all dual coils are wired in parallel. The only other factor would be that there is always a bit of leadway in the manufacture, so a DC labelled 1.5 might in fact be 1.7 or even 1.8, which would get it close to 4.5v, but not 5v.
I use the 3 ohm DC XL carts in my DCT with my Provari with good results at 6v. I gave up on the 1.5's.

Interesting reading I have two Provaris and use BDV Tanks with 1.5 dc on my Satin I van have my voltage at 3.7 and that's it with my black provari 3.9 go figure I also find I like my liquid not over 50 % with my cartos . All cartos above 2.0 work great.
Like I posted in another thread just a second ago, I've experimented a lot and find the SmokTech Dual Coil 2.5Ohms (XL size) to be the best fit with my Provari. Very consistent vape and reliable cartos. I find Boge and other popular cartos are either very inconsistent in their performance or burn too easily or leak too much. The Smoktech's don't have any of those issues (only slight leaking issues when overfilling)
Prior to getting my first Provari, I was using 1.5 ohm Dualies on my 3.7 V box mods. I didn't like them on the Provari, even at 3.7 V, which is close to the cut off. I sold all of my Dualies, and began using only 2.6-2.8 ohm Fluxomizers, and lately, Vision Extremes.
I use nothing but dc cartos on my varris 2.0-2.5ohm this way you set your volt to ware it's good for you without no issues.No need for LR with any VV device thats why we buy a VV.LR is for those that want to achieve better vape with low volt pv's.The lr stiff also kills batteries way faster.
as I have mentioned in other posts, I've had no problems using 1.5 ohm dc's up to 4.2v, 2 ohm dc's up to 5v (all smok techs)......each and every provari is going to react different to the same exact carto...all based on the quality of parts, the different variables for each part in the circuit board, differences in assembly, how much solder actually stuck to the parts and board, production part batch quality, etc... Ive seen and heard others vary from .1 to .3v from the norm before cutting off...mine for some reason happens to be at the higher end... I use the 1.5 ohm dc's with all my 3.7v mods and the provari, with the same carto, still outperforms them, regardless of battery size...even now, i'm running a 1.5 dc in one of my cartomator tanks, it's set at 4.1v, and output under load is reading 1.6ohms and running at 3.8v ( all my juices are 70/30 or 60/40 pg/vg, atm in the tank is 70/30...)
