Just have one question going from the V1 to V2.. I know they upped the amps on the lower voltages but what volts are they upping the ampage for? And have any of you tried using 3.7 volts on the provari? I mean alot of people like they're 3,7 volt mods, but what's there to like? No heat, not alot of vapor or power, those 3.7V devices have a higher ampages I'm assuming right? Can someone answer my questions and after help me find the thread "provari V1 to V2"? I can't find it

Many are happy at 3.7 and it can be quite nice with plenty of heat and vapor matched with the right carto or atty but with a 3.7 mod your stuck there and also get a drop off as the battery drains. The advantage using a regulated vv is the voltage stays consistent as the battery drains whether it's set to 3.7, 4.2 or whatever you find your sweet spot at. You get to choose rather than letting the battery choose it for you. With it adjusted to 3.7 I don't think you'd have a problem using anything, even DC could be pushed higher than that on the V1.

Here's the tread I think you're looking for

They upped the amperage limit of the DC/DC converter, from 2.5 amps to 3.5 amps. It makes no difference to the average user, other than allowing the user to vape low-resistance dual-coil cartomizers at higher voltages. That's really the sole benefit of the upgrade. Other than that, ignore the difference.

If 3.7V isn't enough, turn it up to higher voltages. Again, ignore the limits, because you won't reach them on a V2 with normal equipment. If you're building your own attys, it (possibly) becomes important, but I'll assume you're not.

What's there to like about 3.7V mods though? Why do people love them when on a Provari it's not even that great?

It depends on the resistance of the coil. A 1.7 ohm coil at 3.7V is good for ~8 watts, a nice vape for most people. You need 4.9V to drive a 3 ohm coil to the same wattage, for instance -- and a lot of people run 3.0 ohm Boge cartos at 4.5-5V on the Provari, so the vape is similar. VV just gives you the option of other voltages with other coil resistances.

And 3.7V is standard for the battery types most common in vaping, so it's the voltage you get when there's no VV circuitry.
