Actually, while you're adding features... I could care less if there is a display that tells me the voltage... I would rather see a display in watts, based on the actual resistance of the atty/carto load... That would be far more useful to me.

Any chance of that happening?

I second that!!!

I want to be able to hold it in front of someone, hit a button, and wipe their memory.
I want it to detect all radar bands.
I want it to power my house during power outages.
I want to set it to stun.
I want it to return to me when thrown.
I want it to keep my coffee hot.
I want to send text messages from it.
I want it to support a minimum of 100yds of 60lb test line.
I want to turn people into frogs with it.
I want it to hold a standard roll of toilet paper.
I want it to stick to my fridge.
I want it to fill these freakin' E2 R4 Cartomizers.
I want it to land on the Moon.
I want it to broadcast free HD TV.
I want it to change the oil in my vehicles.
I want it in Harley Davidson 105th Anniversary Copper Pearl Metallic and Vivid Black two tone.
I want it to dispense spray cheese.

'cause it's Friday; you ain't got no job... and you ain't got .... to do.

Umm.. I doubt that ProVape will add those features... I think you need to get those in the juice, which FSUSA is working on, as we speak!

You lost me at the Spray Cheese part, haha

We will look into it :)

Some have asked if there is a preferred atomizer (ohms) to use, and so we put together a little chart which shows that there is a resistance that gives you the most choices. You can also use this chart to look up the different watts/voltages and what they produce. While this is just a sample of a few atomizer resistance options, it should help show some of the choices.

Excellent reference, thanks! This will come in handy.

While the chart is helpful, it assumes a level of sophistication that the average consumer lacks... the ability to accurately measure the resistance of the atty/carto...

In taking a PV such as this to the mainstream, wattage is a far more useful metric than voltage, as it is the factor of voltage x current that really makes the difference.

As you can see in this very thread, the discussion of voltage always leads to confusion... the discussion of resistance also heads down a slippery slope...

You've seen the questions... "can I use an LR with this?".. The relationship between volts, current and load is confusing to the masses. Ask ANYBODY "how many volts is the output of your stereo..."... The answer will be "Shrugs... I dunno". Ask them how many Amps their speakers draw at their rated impedance... "Shrugs... I dunno...".

Hey man... how many WATTS is that bad boy? THEY KNOW the answer...

Watts are the wave of the PV future... mark my words!

The readout in Watts would revolutionize PV marketing, and in a MEANINGFUL way. (which will be hard to pull off with 2 digits and a decimal point, so I may be shooting blanks here, but I know how to indicate this with a limited display... )

Couldn't have been put any simpler and so true, if Watts can be produced on the LED it would be far superior if this can be pulled off, which I think it could be if theres still time go code this option

dang; "slippery slope" of calculating resistance... don't tell me there's a slippery... shoot;
actually it is very easy to use a mulltimeter ( i got one on ebay, thanks basilray, same one he got for $6.00; shipped - and it had a battery! - and basilrays instructions couldn't be easier).

but that's all i got; measuring the Ohms; for me that's how i can predict my vape .
I dont know from watts... volts..
volts: 3.7.... goes with 1.5 to 2.0 Ohm... that's all i need to know right now.

Regarding higher voltages, with the ProVari, when i get to that desire, I plan to ask you all; "what is your favorite, most vaporful, delicious combo of atty to voltage setting?"
Problem solved.

Displaying wattage is no easy feat, and certainly NOT a "tweak" on a device that is scheduled to ship in a couple of weeks. I like the idea but I don't see this one happening, not this round.

A typical desktop computer PS can be had for as little as $19.99. Here is the FIRST PS that displays wattage -- I'm checking out the price via email but it's got to be costly.
