(Yes, I know he has terrible taste but I love him anyway...)
Can't be that "terrible" - he asked & married "YOU" . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Right after I bought my first real mod, an istick mini, I too discovered that voltage higher than 3.3-3.5 gives me a sore throat. Provaris are my 24/7 vape and even with their super smooth vape I usually keep my volts at 3.3. I go up to 3.4 or 3.5 when my coil is getting old.I have had a low wattage breakthrough!
Background
After vaping a couple years on cartos I tried moving to a Protank and cheap VV devices and experienced a burning sensation in my throat at any voltage that led me back to mechs and eventually ProVaris. Every other PWM implementation I tried gave me that burning sensation and taste, although the original Evic was better than the rest. I suspect my throat has become more sensitive than most vapers. I settled in with ProVaris at about 3.9 volts or six watts and was fine.
I won a Coolfire 4 and thought it's ability to offer more of a DC (direct current, like a battery) power experience would work, but even at it's lowest setting of six watts it was still harsh. I set it aside, glad that at the least the ProVari would work for me. The last couple years have been great, but a little boring.
One More Try
I was looking at some cheap options to try out the DNA boards which are supposed to provide DC quality step down. I almost got the SVD 2 but it is a whopping long tube and I have a small hoard of ProVaris already. Instead I stumbled on a closeout on a Waidea Vaporflask clone with a clone DNA 40 chipset. With a claimed 1-40 watt range, at $10 it was worth a try.
The mod worked great, but at six watts gave me the same harshness as most others and I sadly set it aside for a couple days. I liked the hand feel so much I gave it another try last weekend, dialing the wattage down even further to 4.7. (Ridiculous, right?) This resulted in a voltage of about 3.5.
My Epiphany
It was suddenly a damn good vape, almost as smooth as my ProVari at 3.9 volts! I then dug out the Coolfire 4, which is VV/VW, switched to voltage mode and set it down to 3.5 volts. IT WORKED!
I now know that I can use a variety of mods as long as they let me get below five watts and have a clean step down circuit. Apparently the ProVari chipset gives me such smooth filtering of their PWM that I can enjoy about .4 higher voltage than any other device.
I now have three regulated mods in my active rotation - the Coolfire, the Vaporflask clone and of course the Provari 2.5! There may be some DNA 40 closeouts in my future!
I'm the same too!
It's slated to arrive Thursday
Not that I have a tab with the tracking info open in a browser window being updated every 5 frikkin' minutes, or anything...

It's comforting knowing I'm not the only one who has had this experience!
Not ridiculous at all. I vape under 5 watts most of the time. Currently vaping a 2.4 Ω coil in my Sophia at 3.2 volts, which would put it in the low 4.? watts. As long as you like it, and it keeps you off cigs, that's All that counts

Just stole the chimney from one of the hubby's KFM v3 and dropped it off at the engravers to have "RAIDERS" engraved on it
Hope you're getting it engraved "Las Vegas Raiders"
Just RAIDERS in block print.For me too!
For a long time after I joined ECF I wouldn't admit to vaping at that voltage because I saw so many not so nice comments about vaping so low.Not ridiculous at all. I vape under 5 watts most of the time. Currently vaping a 2.4 Ω coil in my Sophia at 3.2 volts, which would put it in the low 4.? watts.

Never heard any sound from my chargers, it shouldn't be making any noise. I have a Nitecore D2 though it is mostly my backup these days. But it has never gotten hot and it used to get used daily.
It's mucho more dinero... oh, wait, this is America... I meant to say Намного больше денег, but the Gyrfalcon will do just about any cell you wanna tuck into it... I've really enjoyed mine: GYRFALCON All-44 4 Channel Digital Battery Charger
