My smok Tech 3.0 OHM Steel Dual Coil Cartomizers should be in the mailbox today! I'm will be using them on my provari. Just wondering what volts other provari owners run theirs at?
What do run yours at?

for best flavor youre probably going to need to run that at 6 volts...and even then its not going to be that good at that high a resistance.....dual coils effectively double the voltage needed from a VV device to get the same flavor.Youre also going to burn through batteries at a very fast rate.
A lot of people using 1.7 ohm single coils report that their sweet spot is pretty close to 3.7 volts give or take a .01. Ive found that to be pretty consistent for me with any atomizer resistance. I just add 2 volts and adjust up or down a bit either way to tweak it.
Using that logic, youre not going to get optimum flavor and vapor production from a 3ohm dual coil until you get to 8 volts which is impossible for a Provari.
Single coil+lower resistance =longer battery life and a cooler vape.
Dual coil+higher resistance =shorter battery life and a warmer vape.

Well S***!! I was told that LR dual cartomizers don't work well with the provari. So I bought the 3ohm ones. I guess they be another trial and error part..
You might like it, Im just quoting whats Ive found over the past couple of years to be true for me.I dont like dual coils at all but I prefer a cooler vape anyway.Look on the bright side if they come in and you dont like them you'll always have a backup carto or two.
Id recommend a 2.0ohm dual carto at 6 volts or slightly lower.

A bit of math may help here. Watts equals voltage squared divided by ohms.
If you happen to like a 1.5 ohm DC carto at 3.7v, that's 3.7^2/1.5 = 9.13w (4.56w per coil.)
Ohm's law also states that voltage equals the square root of the product of power times resistance, so to figure what voltage you need for a similar vape on a 3 ohm DC carto:
sqrt(9.13*3) = 5.23v
The math says that your 3 ohm DC carto at 5.23v should perform about the same as a 1.5 ohm DC carto at 3.7v. At 6v, it would be running around 12 watts, or 6 watts per coil, which would be about 31% hotter than at 5.23v. As long as the design and construction is very similar between them, the math should work out.
I'd start at 5v, and go from there, but I'm happy with around an 8 watt vape.

I just checked the mail and they were here. After getting the box open I realized I bought the wrong ones anyways.. They are too small to fit in my tank from smoktech. They also don't have the flanged end. I filled one up anyways. I see what your talking about. At 6 volts it hits, but not like it should. This whole tank carto system is driving me nuts!!
I get my cartos from Smoktek.com....great prices and fast shipping....just make sure you dont forget to use the drop down box on their pre-punched flanged tank cartos.
I just purchased 2.0 Ω single coil flanged carto's from smoktek.com. They seem to be pretty good carto's to me. Time will tell how long they last. I run the coils between 3.2 and 3.6 volts

I run my 2ohm single coil carto\tank at 4.4 volts on the proV and the 1.7 single coil around 3.7/3.8 just to give you an idea. I never use 3.0 ohm so I can't tell ya.
This pretty much follows what Ive been saying.Theres no need for complicated equations involving Ohm's law to figure this out.
For single coil cartos add 2 volts to the resistance number and you should be in range. 1.7ohm+2volts puts you at 3.7 volts on a Provari.
For double coil cartos, double the resistance and then add 2 volts. 2ohm dual coil x2=4 +2 volts= 6 volts to get you into maximum vapor/ best taste on your Provari.
I have been using either the Smoktek single coil 2.0 ohm or 3.0 ohm laser drilled cartos, or the Ikenvape Mega Platinum 2.5 ohm punched! (laser drilled) carto's in my tanks on the Provari. I tend to favor a cooler vape experience.
The voltage I use varies upon the flavor. With a new flavor I always start around 3.7v and slowly increase the voltage until I find that flavor's sweet spot. For example, with fruit flavors, I've found that voltages at 3.7v or lower brings out the best flavor. With coffee flavors (my favorite) it can be between 4.0v to 5.0v.
I did a blog about my experience of using single vs dual coils. If interested click on the blog entries below my avatar picture. I provide a list of vendors that sell pre-punched cartomizers for tanks in that article. There is also a PBusardo review video for the tank tool that I use and highly recommend.

Am I the only one who cant seem to use Ego batteries? I find them to be soo big and inconvenient. When I take a drag It really doesnt feel like a cigarette. Im more of an 808 kinda guy, I know theres alot of bad brands that give the 808 model a bad name but I guess you just have to find the right product.
Thank you all for your much needed help. I think I got it down a little bit better.. I went to my local store and bought a few 1.5ohm dual cartos. I bought a punch from madvapes. I punched a bigger hole. I primed the carto the right way this time. Filled the tank, and it's hitting like a champ!! Next time I'll buy the 1.7 but they were out. Thanks again for all your help!!
Have you tried the Smokeless Image batteries and cartomizers? All of their gear is 808 threaded. Their mini-batteries are 65 and 78mm in length and their cartomizers are the horizontal coil variety similar to the Kanger brand.

Okay, I read another thread where someone broke out ohms law and a bunch of equations that made zero sense to me. In plain english what I think he said was that you actually get more battery life out of running higher resistance cartos at higher volts than running lower resistance cartos at low voltage.
Can someone actually confirm or deny this because Ive been led to believe the opposite is true and dont want to be giving bad information out to people. Running at 5.5 to 6 volts with a higher restistance carto just seems backwards to me, but maybe its like how hot water freezes into ice faster than cold water.

He's right. If you look at the amp output, you will get more battery life from higher ohms at higher volts.
Example:
3 volts and 1.7 ohms = 2.17 amperes
5 volts and 3 ohms = 1.66 amperes
You will get more battery life from higher volts with higher ohms because you are running less charge from the battery.
