remote or blue tooth ?? that would make it an Evic killer then lol
I want my next pv to display it's information via Google Glass.
My point was things that don't seem intuitive at first glance probably are a lot easier to figure out in person than can be demonstrated in a short video. And I can change settings on my Provari without even looking at it. The auditory feedback replaces what you see on the screen with the crown, and I'm betting it's not as counterintuitive as it may seem.
Now there's a good idea.
Well said, just saw the Pbusardo review...thanks t8kiteasy for posting that. You're right, both the VV and VW modules apparently have the same 2.5 amp limit. So yeah, they aren't quite the heat regulation solution I was hoping to see for sub-ohm RBAs. Was half hoping I could use them with sub-ohm RBAs too and replace the ShortStop with these and not only get short-curcuit protection, but also the additional bonuses of heat regulation and low battery protection as well. My Kicked mechs are pretty much mated to the same carto/tank systems and mostly used with the same juice to avoid needing to adjust on them. This is definitely a welcome step forward as I'll be more enclined to switch tank systems and juices up more often on the mods these are paired with, just wish they had a higher amp limit to handle sub-ohm RBAs too, but not a deal-breaker.

I think that all the beeping would drive me insane, and Im not really a fan of it firing the device to check the resistance...
Doesn't it literally have to apply current through the coil to test resistance? This is why multi-meters require batteries to check resistance. Maybe they apply some smaller amount of current than the device is set to (the Provari simply fires the coil), but I agree, current is necessary.
You can't measure resistance without current as far as I know. The provari fires the coil to check resistance and the battery.
I'm not saying the crown does anything right or wrong, I don't want one because I don't see myself counting beeps but this is the only way I know how to test at atty. Multimeters do it too.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it only adjusts in increments of 1? 5 watts 6 watts 7 watts etc? I like to fine tune.
You do have to send current through the coil to check resistance. Some devices (like the Vamo) use such low amounts of power while checking resistance that the carto/atty/etc doesn't really fire.
But with a Zmax, for example, the only way to check resistance is to switch the screen's display to Resistance, get out of the menu, then fire the carto and it will display resistance. I think the Provari fires the carto while testing Resistance too
Speaking of this, anyone know if the reading would be more accurate if resistance was measured while firing at full power? My thinking is that some materials change their conductivity/resistance depending on temperature, so wouldn't the resistance of a coil change when it fires up at full vaping power? So if you sampled resistance with a tiny amount of power, it wouldn't give you an accurate resistance rating (well, a super accurate one) compared to if the resistance was sampled while the coil is at operating temperature?
I guess it just depends how much Nichrome and Kanthal change their conductivity while at high temperatures. I'd guess it probably doesn't change that much, but I was just curious.

it wouldnt matter, there is more of a difference between standing and under load then there is light load - heavy load, the amount of power to really change the reading of a small coil significantly would be more then we ever approach.
There's firing and then there's firing. A multimeter is not going to provide enough to properly fire a coil, whereas from the video, it seemed that not only does the crown do so, but it requires that you hold it on for a second or so. What is the point of testing the resistance of a coil if you are going to fully fire it. Doesn't that defeat the object of testing it to make sure that it is safe? Why not just put it on a mech mod; If it burns out, then it is no good.

Provaris fire it enough to hear it and it lasts for a second or so. So I don't know what I should be expecting. An evic just pops up the resistance when you screw it on...is that more what you are looking for?
I guess so, but I don't want to get into anything that might be in anyway possibly be misconstrued as Provari bashing.......
The provari fires enough while checking resistance to get a vape, the vamo doesn't fire enough to get a vape. The vamo tends to be .1 ohms lower while checking the same coil. Maybe the vamo is just off or maybe it doesn't read as accurately because of the super low voltage.
I'm wondering if this will work in the Legacy with a 18650, since you can just take washers off the switch. The Crown doesn't look that big.
check their web-site cykaca, I see they have the VV one in stock http://jazzepipe.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=91
You would still need the extension tube to run 18650 mode plus the crown in the legacy
