What do run yours at?

Good ol' 3.7 on an Empire mod using a HH 357 901 LR

Thanks for the explanation.I'm still going to stick with my 1.7s though . I never realy thought about it until now but even when I smoked analogs I never took a really large or hot drag off of them.I could smoke it down to the filter and it would still be mostly white.

Unlike the people who bummed a drag off of me and sucked on it so hard it would get black and then hand it back after they slobbered all over it.Cant say I miss that one bit.

Sure. Wasn't trying to put you off them, just answering the question.

Not sure that answer is entirely correct still but appreciate you trying to answer it.I just got this from one of Mattias' posts.

haven't seen this thread in awhile....guys i gotta say that these numbers are skewed.....voltage is a type of pressure that makes the electricity go...amperage is the flow of electrons, not the rate.....so generally speaking, the higher voltage you run, the faster your battery will die....if you want better battery life....low resistance is the way to go

It's pretty universally accepted that LR drains more current from a battery so the battery drains faster.

Here's an example keeping the volts the same:
5 volts and 1.7 ohms = 2.94 amps
5 volts and 2.6 ohms = 1.92 amps

The 1.7 ohms will result in faster battery drain.

I was running 1.5-1.7 dual coil smoketechs for a while in my dct tanks

I just recently switched to 4.0 ohm singles and what a great difference

Also running dual coils, the juice needs to cover more surface area... And i could never get a happy medium..

These ones rock

This is the carto that you want for that DCT on your Provari, run it at about 4.2v to start with, then adj to taste.

From the Provape site:
"Is there a preferred atomizer to use with the ProVari?

Yes, we recommend using a higher resistance atomizer. This will give you the most voltage options. For Cartomizers we prefer the 3.0ohm and for Atomizers High Voltage 2.8-3.2 ohm work best.

Low Resistance - Low resistance atomizers/cartomizers are not the best to use, they will limit the voltage options that you can go up to. Also note that as a atomizer heats up, their resistance drops. When they get dry the resistance also drops. If you have your voltage set higher and the resistance drops, it will cause the E1,E2 errors.
When using a higher resistance atomizer you will be able to dial up the voltage into the higher ranges and have more room for the atomizer resistance to move around without getting into the limits of the device or driving the atomizer into a very low range or short."
