got an e2 at 4.2 other than that it fires at 4.0... but should i be using a 1.1 ohm coil on the prov???
There's honestly not much point to using a low-resistance coil on a Provari. You're going to be limited in the amount of wattage you can put through it. You can get the exact same wattage with a higher-resistance coil, and it won't burn your batteries as fast.
Can you use a 1.1 ohm coil? Sure. Sounds like you already know that. The Provari's pretty good about not letting you do things it thinks aren't safe, and you'll get hit by the limiter when you get there.

It bugs me everytime I read posts that there is no sense using a lower than 1.5 ohm atty in a provari, etc. I am a 10+ watt vaper so 1.3ohm/3.7volts on the Provari works for me. Yes I am happy with my lower than 1.5 ohm builds on the Provari. Mix matching my attys between my fixed 3.7 volts mod and Provari is the reason why I like and use 1.3 ohm attys even on the Provari.
I wouldn't say that, exactly, but when you get down to 1.1 ohms you're getting close to a coil that won't even reliably work on the Provari. There's nothing wrong with using lower-resistance coils on a Provari, but when you start getting to the point where it might not even fire reliably, and when you can get exactly the same wattage with a higher-resistance coil that won't have those problems and will increase the life of the battery, it just makes a lot more sense to use a higher-resistance coil.
It makes a difference if you'll be using the coil on a mechanical, but if you won't, there's just no good reason to push for the lower resistance limit on a VV device.
Actually... A 1.4 ohm coil at 4.6 volts will deliver the maximum wattage that the ProVari is able to deliver. (15.1 watts)
So... Actually that would be your optimal resistance.

edit. nvm. just a need more coffee moment. 4.6v@2ohms is 2.3amps while 3.7v@1.3ohms is 2.8amps.

If you reduce amperage drain you should increase battery life.
I myself am just not 100% on how to factor in the circuitry & 90-95% efficiency to get a truer result.
Then I give up and just vape at whatever feels good and change batteries when it starts blinking.

Me too. I don't even enable low battery LED warning and just change battery or just transfer the atty to my backup mod when Provari quits. That's also the reason why I use 1.3 ohm builds even on the Provari so that I can enjoy the atty even on my fixed voltage mod.
I keep reading these threads hoping that sooner or later I'll know what y'all are talking about.
As this is your thread, please ask what you don't understand and we will do our best to explain it, or just confuse you further!
Try starting here, Ohm's Law Calculator play around a bit, change the voltage from 3-6 volts. Change the resistance, what the coil in the atty that creates the heat, from say, 1 ohm to 4 ohms. Then watch and see how the amperage and wattage do. Most people like to vape in the 8 watt range.
This might? get you a bit better idea of what we are talking about, then come back and ask some questions!
Found this messing about on Google Doc's, maybe not the best but there are charts in it that layout some of the Ohm's Law info clearly.

I wrap most of my coils @ 1.7-1.8Ω for use on most of my regulated mods. I aim for 2Ω for the Chids I keep on my Twists. Anything 1.2Ω or below are only for use on my mech mod.

I was about to buy a Provari, but I'm having second (and third) thoughts after reading this stuff. Is this as difficult as it sounds to a beginner or is just a matter of getting the right settings on the unit?
I guess I am missing the question here? The OP is asking about using rebuldable's on his Provari, there are lots of things, and ways to do this. RBA's are NOT for the faint of heart!
The Prvari itself, it's rock solid as long as you don't try and do something stupid, like run atty's under 1.5 ohm's, on it! ANYTHING above 1.5 ohms, you have wiggle room on, I fail to see why people feel the need to push it!
Even Provape states that they don't recommend using low resistance atty's on the Provari. You can easily use 2 ohm to 4 ohm atty's on a Provari, this gives you a lot of room to make it work!
I really don't even realize how people vape 1.3 ohm and under coil at 3.7v! That is 10.5watts and drawing 2.8amps! Then they complain that they are killing batteries fast?
Yeah, I like burnt juice and enjoy going through batteries for fun?
I'm running 2 ohm carto's, in a carto tank and getting 6-7hrs of run time from my Provari mini using 18350's, I don't find that a bad trade off.
OK, I get sarcasm, rather well in fact. Sorry, I'm not feeling well at all, as I'm sure shows in my above post, I apologize!
Please state the problems, and misunderstanding's you have and I will do my best to find someone else, hopefully in a better state than I, to answer the question/questions.
Honestly, I don't mean to come off snide, it's not you! I'm in a serious world of hurt today, so please do not take me personally tonight,I am sorry if I come off the wrong way!
I don't know why people feel the need to try to run things on devices that are not designed to run them. Like sawlight said, anything from 1.5 to about 2.8 oHms is right in the ProVari's sweet spot. If you really feel the need to run a low resistance atty, then you are probably better off looking at mechanical mods. ProVape doesn't recommend lower than 1.5, as has already been stated.
