Provari V2 really delivers ???

[NornSaber]

thinking of adding a provari to my collection as well.

just need one definite confirmation with the following scenario:

>>> provari set to 6 volts on a 3 ohms boge single coil in a tank <<<

when battery level = 4.2v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 4.1v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 4.0v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.9v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.8v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.7v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.6v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.5v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.4v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.3v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.2v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.1v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.0v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?

since everyone claims the provari is the only ultimate device that truly holds it's output regardless of battery level,

really need to know if it truly is that superior before i take the plunge.

thanks in advance

3 ohm yes, I don't believe it will deliver with all Low Resistance attys/cartos though. If you ever want to give 1.5ohm a try at 6v (a great vape imo) I think you may want to verify that.

Oh, not sure when it shuts off due to batt level, sorry. But from what I have seen, if its on its vaping at the set voltage, other than Low Resistance cartos/attys that it won't fire.

I don't know about the V2, but the V1 hits low battery cutoff at 3.2v. Don't be discouraged, as it has plenty of battery life. Otherwise, yes, if you set it at 6v it puts out 6v, regardless of battery level. If you try to run something that goes over the amp limit, it will give you an error code, to let you know that you need to adjust the voltage to a more acceptible level. The Provari is great!

i've reasonable performance with LT so long as not going over 3.7v

but as the battery level drops, the so called SET voltage fades in performance obviously.

on the other hand, i've terrible experience with vmax even in 3v setting as it over cooks the juice.

so i was hoping the v2 can outperform the LT voltage regulation and not give me burnt chokes like the stupid vmax.

most importantly, whether it's TRUE that v2 HOLDS the set voltage without dropping irregardless of battery level left.

when battery level = 4.2v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 4.1v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 4.0v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?

when battery level = 3.8v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.7v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.6v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.5v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.4v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.3v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.2v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.1v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?
when battery level = 3.0v, provari will measure 6 volts under load ?

LR = low resistance just in case you misunderstood =) I edited above post again so more clear. I guess provari would shut off at 3.2 battery. Here is a very complete review on it. While the provari is on it will be vaping at 6 volts if that's what you have it set to.

Lastly, I love my vmax with 1.7 ohm at 6 volts =)

wow! if the provari truly holds the set voltage regardless of battery power remaining when measured,

then that is what i call precision engineering! i'll definitely take the plunge!

ronda why don't you upgrade your v1? provape offers the upgrade for USD 20 incuding shipping it back to you.

i personally like the error code idea, at least you can safely push it to the device's safe limits.

unlike LT, which gives you "false positives".

unlike vmax, whose voltage flies all over the place, then until your atty/carto pop, then you know it's too much. i've blown quite a few already to know this fact (both smoktech lr dc and boge lr sc)

1.5 ohms at 6 volts ... unbelievable

that's 24 watts of power at 4 amperes ... crazy

hey, not fair, that's a whopping 21.18 watts of power !!!

how come i can't get pass 3 volts without popping the atty/cart ???

 

[LookMa`NoSmoK]

For attys, you gotta keep them wet. for cartos, you gotta keep them wet.

 

[NornSaber]

i'm pretty sure they're wet enough already,

any more effort to make them any more wetter, an orgasm will occur ... lol

Yea, the provari uses a different circuit than those others. I have been out of work and just started a new job, so Im waiting till I get a couple checks before I upgrade mine.

BTW... I read in the GG forum that a couple people, at least Imeo and one other person, vaped over 30 watts without burning liquid, by slowly tempering the 1.5 ohm coil in their Odysseus... Something to thing about.

 

[Randy C]

Yes... With a 3.0 ohm atty, the Provari will hold at 6 volts until the battery is dead

wow! thanks for the tip-off ronda, that i really got to read

has anyone in ecf dismantled the provari and identified the electronics and boost chip within?

off to GG forum

Umm, I don't know. I haven't read anything saying what chip or whatever is used... I just know that it works. My husband even used an inline voltmeter to check the accurate-ness of the Provari. BTW here's the link for one of the guys who broke 30 watts... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/238074-odysseus-official-416.html#post6165872

thanks for the link Ronda,

that link is a life saver,

you're an angel, cheers

The chip is made for Provape.
It isn't off the shelf.

hi AG,

that's so cool, thanks for that info.

how i wish someone could dismantle one to see if there's a P.I.C in it, then DUMP it to view the codes.

I've never noticed any sort of decrease in my V2. The battery starts out at 4.2 volts, and then I throw it on the charger around 3.5ish. Never had a single issue with drops.

What Provangelist said.......I have never had any "drop" issues with a V2.......

 

[knivesout]

The low battery indicator (flashing button) will come when there's around 3.4-3.3v left on the battery. I believe it will stop firing around 3.2v, I usually swap out batteries when the button starts flashing. The provari will deliver the set voltage to whatever you have attached to it, provided that it's within the 3.5A limit. If you're using 3 ohm cartos/atties then you're not going to be getting anywhere near its limit. To answer your question, the vape you get when the batteries are fresh off the charger is going to be the exact same vape you get when the button starts flashing and its time to swap the battery out.

I didn't do any testing to the lavatube that I had, but I know exactly what you mean about the decrease in power when the batteries are getting low. Another thing I noticed that seems to be backed up by testing I've seen is that it doesn't really hold its voltage during your drag. It seems that the longer the button is held down, the more the voltage drops off. For example, say you set it to 5v. When the button is first pressed, you're getting right around 5v, but as it continues firing, the voltage drops down to 4.9, 4.8, 4.7v, etc. I swapped out the same tank between the lavatube and provari set to the same voltage, and the LT felt to me like it wasn't exactly delivering its set voltage during the length of the drag. It was a fairly similar vape, but not quite there.
