Using standard Boge cartos, they vary (according to ProvaVari Ro reading) from 2.9 to 3.3 from the same pack of 5. Usually running on 4.2 - 4.5V with PG juices, for VG mixes (up to 50/50 ratio) I found I have to crank voltage to 4.6 - 4.8 for better results.
I have one 80VG/20PG juice mix and at 4.8V the amount of vapor is just plain ridiculous, colossal clouds :)

I just got my Provari today and have been experimenting using a chart with volts, ohms, and watts generted. I tried to simulate what worked for me with my eGo and 510 Boge low resistance cartomizers. I found that the 2.0 ohm low resistance cartos work at 3.4V, and the Ikenvape 510 gold V2 (2.8 ohm) worked at 3.7V for me. Now I have a headache cause I never vaped so much in a few hours.
The Provari is a solid mod and performs well. I am going to switch from 18650 to the 18490/18500 batteries to reduce the size and weight so I am more comfortable.

So the higher the ohm's, the higher the voltage I should set on my Provari?

Yes, but depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Ohm is resistance and voltage is power. So, the higher the resistance is, you will need more power to get greater heat or wattage. If you like cool vapor then you set the voltage lower. And of course if you want warmer vapor and greater TH, then you bump up the voltage.

Thanks, It is very interesting trying all my different cartomizers and map tanks with CE2's with different ohm's. Is it best to check the ohm's with the Provari, then adjust the voltage to the cart? Every cartomizer I use has different ohm's on the same brand.

Yea, that's a great start but it will come down to the actual feel after you try it. Even many cartos with the exact same resistance require fine-tuning with a slightly different voltage. Your juice selection will also have a lot to do with which voltage setting you will prefer with different atties/cartos...
