Provari + Lemo - Questions

[lKeithStone]

So I just got my Lemo today. I did 12 wraps with the wire that came with it (I believe it's 26 gauge wire). It came out to 1.4 Ohm. I was previously using an RSST.

I have a few questions:

1. My coil is taking forever to heat up. It's taking about 2 seconds before I can hit it. My RSST would instantly produce vapor. Is this normal, or could it be the way I wrapped my coil? I'm new to wrapping these type of coils.

2. It seems like the flavor of my RSST was slightly better. Should the Lemo have better flavor than an RSST?

I have noticed how much warmer of a vape the Lemo is compared to my RSST. There is a pretty big difference between Cotton and Mesh when it comes to "smooth vapes" - cotton feels much smoother.

Other than those two issues, I'm loving the Lemo. I like that I don't have to worry about leaking or tilting it when I vape.

Not sure where the ProVari comes into play...

 

[lKeithStone]

It's attached to the Lemo.

 

[stevegmu]

You think the ProVari is why the change in flavor?

 

[lKeithStone]

I never thought or said that. I added proVari so people would know what I'm using.

 

[stevegmu]

Oh, I was hoping for a new ProVari thread...

 

[lKeithStone]

Thanks man you've been a lot of help!

 

[stevegmu]

No problem...

Maybe the Provari doesn't have enough power to heat up 12 wraps of 24g wire in a reasonable amount of time ? If you are aiming for 1.4 ohms or thereabouts, i recommend using 28, 29 or even 30g wire. 24g wire is really for sub-ohming.

Here's where the Provari comes into play.... you specify your coil is 1.4 ohms, but how many volts are you running at? You might have to turn up the volts to get the desired watts that you're looking for.
Ultimately watts determine heating capacity .

And... I like Provari threads (Reo threads too). Wanna start something?

hello des moines. I'd go 28 gauge wire.

i'd love a picture of the lemo on the provari. been considering picking one up, but the 23mm size makes me hesitate.

I'm using a Kayfun Lite v2 clone by Ehpro on a Provari v2. I use 28guage kanthal with 9 wraps on a 3/32" drill bit with cotton wicking. The coil reads at 1.4 ohm and heats up quickly for me. Works great for me at 3.7 volts (9.78watts).

@ 12 wraps on that gauge it is going to take about 2 sec to heat up; sounds normal to me. If you want it to heat up super fast use a loose wrap 32 gauge or 30 gauge. Either way, if you want it faster then you will need to drop the gauge you are using. Simple as that
