Well yesterday I received my provari v2 from provape (very solid mod btw). Is the amp limit on the provari v2 3.5 amps? The reason I ask is because I swear I can not get my boge lr past 5 v and even at 5v I sometimes get an e2 error and I have to lower the voltages. I have had to bring the voltages down to 4.7 and even then it gives me the same error e2. I have tried other cartomizers and I still get the e2 error.. Did I get a lemon or?

Edit: I also get an e1 error as well

Are you juiceing up your cartos well? Also check your cartos with your vari see what the true ohms are.Sometimes if you don't have enough juice in them it can do that.Also i would not run a carto that hot at 1st let them break in a little.I can run 2.0 dc cartos at 5 volts and higher without issue on v2 varis.Not sure on boge though i only have 1 left suppose to be 2.0 ohm but meters out at 1.8 so can't crank it up to 5v thats to much.

The answer to your question is = YES the V2 has a 3.5Amp limit switch Nocashflow,, I would also think that around 3.7v - 4.6 would be the sweeter spot I would take a Boge 2ohm Carto, there really not meant to be ran @ 5v but the 3ohm Boge Carto is a much better one to use @ 5v

I vape my reo grand at 27 watts and I like the warmth of the vapor. Now I know the provari is not gonna give me 27 watts as it does not state it. But I should be able to get 6 volts on a boge 2.0 cartomizer since 6/2 is still 3 amps and its not even giving me 3 amps. Now I dont mean to bash on this pv by any means but I thought I would be able to vape @ 18 watts all day without any problems but I guess I was wrong :(.

2.0 boges are great on the v2 in a pinch. It tastes great to me at like 4.2 there is no reason to go high on them.

There is a reason for me like I said I would prefer to be vaping at 18 watts :(. The only reason I didnt get a 6v pv was because some juices taste better at lower wattage.

When yer at 5 on a 2 ohm it tastes burnt to me. If you want burnt carto taste have at it.
You must have cheap juice bro because the juices that I vape do not taste burnt at all. I did not want to say this because I don't wanna make enemies on here but, this is the way I look at it. I bought a corvette that says it can go 200 mph but it is topping off at 120.. Do i need to go 200 mph? probably not but it would be nice to right? That's the way I feel right now I LOVE vaping at 18 watts+ that is my taste that's what I want in my pv. I do not mean to offend anyone but please don't say stuff like this I was just asking a simple question.

Higher watts create a better TH and flavor fusion IMHO. With a xtra long dt you can avoid excess heat from the vapor. While it is true that some juices taste better at lower wattage. I would expect it to get at least 5V. Using a mod that can not do 5v is like buying a corvette that is limited to 30 mph. Because some roads are next to schools where you can only go 25 mph. To each there own. But sorry to hear about your problems nocashflow.

I am using a reo with stacked 3.7 protected cr 123 with a cisco 3 ohm atty that went down to 1.1 ohm. Amazing taste. This atty has been down to 1.7 ohm in a week. A month later it is down to 1.1 ohm :p I did not believe it too. But this is the 3rd time that it has happened and I have used 3 multimeters to check the ohm of the atty.

From here:

Some more details on the limits:
The new output limit (when you will get an E2) is 3.5 amps from 2.9 v to 4.2v. Above 4.2v the output limit is set to 14.5 watts. So above 4.2v each step has a little bit different current limit based on a power calculation. You will find that you can go much higher voltage with LR, but you won't be able to crank it all the way up to 6 volts with a LR..basically cooking the atty :)

So no, you won't be vaping at 18 watts or 50 watts on a Provari. Sorry, it's just the way it's designed. Most people vape in the 5-10 watt range. I'd look into returning the unit, because it's not going to do what unrestricted mechanical mods with stacked batteries do.
