Hey steve check this out http://www.provape.com/v/faq.htm this can kind of help you see what kind of times you will get.
For the most part even if you use a higher resistance atty and higher voltage it will prolly be the same. its power factor you measure it in Watts instead of volts or resistance. Only way to get better power factor is through atty and cartomizer design.
I have been seeing a better power factor on Clearomizers and attys than say wow v4l cartomizers. Say my clearomizer is 2.9 ohm and my V4L cart is 2.2 ohm It takes 3.7volts for good vapor and on the V4L cart it takes 4.5volts to get good vapor. If you turn these findings into Watts the clearomizer takes 4.72 watts and the V4L cart takes 9.205 watts. So right there you can tell me which one the battery would last longer using.

Bigsix you're 100% correct. I've been using a 3.2ohm E2 carto at 3.9volts. I get more vapor out of that combo than on a 2.3ohm atty at 5 volts so, for me, it seems to be a more efficient method of vaporizing liquid. I get at least 10 hours out of an 18500 due to the lower amp draw and wattage produced.

thanks for the tip.. . as you get more experience in would you post your findings as to best atty/carto (and resistance) to Provari volt setting?

Yeah I just got my Vari yesterday could not do any assumption how long the battery would last but I've been an electrician for about 3 years now and had been learning about power factors lately. Esp since the grid has been getting tighter on how much power is available.

10 hours !!!?... thanks for the tip on that combo, but measuring time tells us nothing about how much vape time you're getting Pete. That's hard to estimate.

I get about 2 hours of constant vaping out of a 18490 aw IMR... i use mostly a 2.2 510 atty at 3.4 to 4.1 setting.
i.e. 3 or 4 good vapes every 10 min. .... yeh, pretty hooked.
