Provari with LR DCT(leaking)...HELP ME!!!

[honda]

hi mates...its me again

i have ended up getting my 1st APV mod....i am now on a Provari with LR dct from vaporalley

i have got a major problem here...whenever i vape at 3.0-3.7v the vape is little and cant have the TH that i want...but when i push e voltage up to 4.0-4.5 i get more vape and TH but the juice starts to leak into the 510 threading and into the drip tip(why does it leak to the 510connector?)....when i move above 5.0v its an error on my provari....
even at 3.4v the ejuice seem to be in the airway and goes up to the drip tip

Am i missing some voltage/ohm knowledge????


-Should i get a standard 3ohm tank instead of a LR dct

-Do advise me on where i should get a standard tank for my provari as i prefer more VAPOR more TH

- :so does it mean LR cartomizers=less vapor&less TH???

It sounds like your carto is flooded. Take the tank off. Put a tissue on the 510 threaded end and blow into the drip tip. It may be getting flooded because the hole/holes in the side of the carto, where the juice comes in, are to big/to many.

The error you are getting is from you exceeding the amperage limit on the Provari. I would switch to a single coil 3 ohm carto if you can. I hope this helps.

BTW I like these tanks VPX CARTOMATOR Cartomizer Tank and they take Boge cartos.

hellsh0cked is absolutely correct. LR Atties/Carto's should not be vaped at those voltages. 4.0-4.2 max. 3 ohm is your best bet, as 3.0Ohm cartomizers and atomizers are what ProVape recommends to be used with the ProVari on their site and in their user manuals.

holy .......i din not realise that.....
so basically i should not use any LR 1.5ohm carto????
3ohm cartomisers that fits in my tank????any recommendations?

 

[Kay1959]

I think your problem may be the dual coil as opposed to a single coil. If you like the larger tanks, I'd suggest trying an XL or Mega SINGLE coil carto for your tanks. Dual coil cartos really heat up! Have you ever put your mouth directly on one? The dual coils might be heating the juice and o-rings on your tank to the point it's leaking.

i came across crystalclearvaping's 3ohm cartomiser???

do you think that will work in my tank on my provari?

 

[honda]

true into...it might be boiling the juice thats why the juice goes all the way up to the drip tip.....

currently i will look for higher ohm carto that can fit in my tank

any suggestion on which vendor has it?

 

[Kay1959]

A regular carto will not fit in a larger tank (they are too short), only the regular size tanks. An XL single coil carto will fit in a larger tank. Here are some, but you'll have to punch the holes yourself.

Well put... I totally agree

Here is a link, just for the picture.
You can probably pick one up at your local hardware store, I don't know since I've never been to Singapore! lol! But be sure to get the 1/4" saddle valve. Note, that there is a learning curve to punching your own carto. I'd suggest you watch a YOUTUBE vid on how to punch using a saddle valve. But once you learn how to do it, it's a breeze and will save you some extra money by punching your own.

If you overfill a carto, it leaks from the get go. You blow it out and you're good to go! Since he's only geting flooding at higher volts, it sounds to me like it's getting hot, which is thinning the liquid to the point where it's leaking/flooding.

 

[honda]

i was glancing thru their website and i found a couple of 3ohm cartomiser that i think should be XL and should fit into my tanks....

Any views of Vaporalley carto???

 

[honda]

ya i have tried that immediately and it is good to go....

so i guess for me to make use of my VV i have to get higher resistence cartomizer...am i right???

 

[Kay1959]

Well, that's the beauty of VV....you can go with just about ANY ohm carto. Your Provari will tell you when you've overgone the limits for that particular resistance. I'd just stay away from dual coils.
But yes, 3.0 ohm is the 'norm' for the Provari.

 

[honda]

thanks Kay.....
i will get the single coil carto at 3ohm....

Any vendors you suggest???
btw wat is a boge???

 

[Kay1959]

I'm not familiar with vendors that sell or ship to Singapore. Maybe Liberty Flights?

Electronic Cigarette - Cartomizers - Boge Cartomizers



Boge is the brand of cartomizer. I prefer Boge's myself over Smokteck, because I've had problems with Smokteck's leaking. But then there are others here who say they work great for them. I heard that they have changed the filler in their cartos, but not positive, and that might be my problem, that and trying to decide how many holes I need in my carto for my particular juice consistancy. I just got with Boge's cause they have one hole and it works great for me.

Oh....and you probably already know this, but if you are going to put the cartomizers in a tank, you need to be sure to get the stainless steel cartos instead of the black ones.
