Ok I have a question since mine will be here in a couple days......How to set it up with a protank so it hits great.....I will be getting a kayfun but not right away so I have a protank 1 and two protank 2's. I have 28g, 30g and 32g kanthal and cotton. I want to use it so I get great throat hits (im not worried about clouds and ....) And I want the 18650 to last as long as it can. So I need to know what type of coil at what ohms to build and what voltage to run it at.....I have two 18650 batteries coming and I will probably want to buy more so I can just keep them rotating. Id rather not have to fall back on the mvp to wait to use my provari again lol
"Hits great?" How did you have it set-up with your MVP? The ProVari is the power supply, everything else depends on what you have on top. The point of a ProVari (besides durability, warranty, blah, blah, blah), is consistency and smoothness in your vape.
You can build just about any resistance you like, if it's not too low. I'm currently vaping a 1.2Ω coil at 3.5v
* in a KFL+, but the ProVari really shines at a higher resistance, which also will give you more battery life.
When vaping low-res, I take the mAh rating of the battery and halve it. If it's rated at 1200mAh, I plan for it to last roughly 6 hours. It may last longer, but at least I'm prepared.
*But that's just me with this particular set-up and juice. One vapes by taste, not numbers. You find a starting point, then increase or decrease the power until it tastes good to you.
One way to get a starting point is to add "2" to the ohms and set the voltage at that. With a resistance under 4Ω, that calculation will always give you roughly 8 watts.
2.5Ω atty + 2 = 4.5
Set the voltage at 4.5v and you will get 8.1 watts
As I said though, that is just a starting point, then you adjust for taste. After awhile you will know what you like particular juices set at and you won't even think about it.
