Variable voltage mod rant

[jward015]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who rolls up a coil, throws it on my provari, and gets ...... when it gives me the e1 or e2 warning. No one likes their coils to be above 1.2 ohms, so why can't we get some good mods to fix this problem? Check out this video and tell me if anyone has any suggestions

you will just have to go with a mech mod for low voltage vaping.

That's what I've been doing, but I'd like to see something that I can check resistance, battery life, and have vv, but still role my coils on it

You can still check the sub-ohm coil on the provari but you will get an error if you try to fire it.

I make my own coils and all are above 3.0 ohms and work just fine.

Imo if you are having issues with simple things maybe you shouldn't be building sub-ohm coils.

You should be able to use a 1.2 ohm coil in a Provari. If you're getting errors, you either have a short, or your voltage is too high.

Why not a DNA20 mod? I know it VW, but it allows you to see real time resistance, voltage, and battery life. It also allows you to regulate sub-ohm coils (the lowest I believe is 0.6 or 0.7), but there is one problem... There is not step-down transformer, only a buck boost, so you will never get below the battery's voltage. Kind of annoying unless you vape on a genesis or a device that wicks well...

Lol, I'm not having trouble with coils! A 3.0 ohm is way to high in my opinion, I role mine at very low resistances, therefore they won't fire. And I know I can check the resistance on my provari no matter what, but I want to be able to use the damn thing too.

I don't use box mods, I think they're hideous

Well have you considered using micro coils? Can archieve a sub-ohm type vape on a provari.

If your Provari is version 2, you can use coils down to about .8 ohms. But you'll only be able to vape at about 2.9 volts, or you'll exceed the 3.5 amp limit.
The reality is, coils need to be 1.2 ohms or above, to work very well on a Provari.

Ah Grasshopper, you cast a wide net and have much to learn.

There's an ol' invention called a VOM/DVM. They'll sate at least one of your quest.

That was answered in a previous reply to your post.

So is a self centered vaping rant!

Umm... They have tube mods now. The DNA20 is a chip made by Evolv Vapor.

and you came to this consensus how exactly?


I run all my vv's with 32 or 30 gauge in the 1.5 to 1.8 ohm range. my atty's run just fine.

my mechs all run around .8 .9 and I use the provari to check them as well.

IMO if you cant get good results from a SR coil on a VV mod you dont know what your doing.

i use a 1.0 ohm coil on my provari and make clouds that you could disappear in

The old consensus of one...Seems to be a lot more prevalent lately; "I don't, therefore, nobody does..."
