Well, it all pretty much boils down to wattage..

More wattage = more heat..

Voltage squared divided by resistance.. So, say you're using a 2.2 ohm atty at 4.8V,
4.8X4.8=23.04.. Divided by resistance: 23.04/2.2=10.47 watts.

I personally like most of my juices at around 10-11 watts. if you know the resistance, you can figure out what voltage you would need to have a certain wattage.

Say you have a 3.2 ohm HV atty, and want to vape it at 10 watts.. 3.2X10=32. Square root of 32: 5.65.. So you would need to dial the Provari up to 5.7V to get 10 watts from a 3.2 ohm atty.

I just got mine (thanks Olaf)! I am LOVING IT... Was looking to see if anyone had any voltage tips or perhaps an ohm to voltage chart of some sort.

I worried about watts and all that when I first got mine, but eventually just gave it up and adjusted till it felt right. I like loads of vapor, slightly warm but definitely not hot. With a 3.0 ohm Boge carto that means 4.0 to 4.2 volts. Since I found the carto I like, I just reorder the same thing and use the same voltage, and it's always right for me.

Curious as too what carto you use. I use similar numbers and feel the same way but having a hrad time finding a good carto. Thanks

I was messing around with the math while at work bored and I use 3.0 ohm attys.

After figuring it out, it is pretty cool to know that with a 3 ohm atty you can reach 12 watts at 6 volts and only be at 2 amp draw.

Granted I am usually at 5.6 volt or less but I think it is a great idea to do the math when you find your perfect setup just to have something to compare it to and know what you are working with.
