ohm's make a difference

submitted over 11 years ago by joekerr37

I've always used 2.4 ohms on my kanger evod 3.7v batteries. Recently tried a 1.8ohm atty instead. Wow... big difference. Taste comes through better.

Try .8 on a RDA and strearile cotton

> strearile

That has got to be the most fucked up spelling of sterile I've ever seen. Bravo, sir!

/bow I try lol long day at work and a small phone keyboard and just not giving a **** tends to do that

I hear that. All of my phone keyboard interactions makes me sound like an epileptic with Tourette's. My fingers just don't fing right on those things.

I really wish I didn't read your comment while I hit my PV. My throat burns.

For DIY juice, an RDA is a crucial tool and something to look into. It could be a $5 mini RDA on an Ego battery running 1.8, but it will still be much easier to use and change flavors, and truer in flavor than a clearo. (Sorry I really can't think of a better word right now.)

Second this. The Optimus, and Smok UDA are the perfect dripper for Ego batteries. They are literally made for each other.

Actually it's the wattage that makes the difference :) But I agree - Some flavors benefit from higher wattage, some don't - it's all about finding the sweet spot of a liquid - That's why I like variable wattage/voltage devices :)

I finally got to the point where I understand how voltage and ohms work and what changing each means for the vaping experience. But I still don't understand how wattage changes it and what exactly it changes.

Wattage just adjusts the voltage based on the resistance of whatever atomizer you're using. Watts = volts^2 / ohms

Like montr0n writes - Wattage is the power that's going to the coil - the amount of heat generated. Higher restistance mean you need higher voltage to achive the same wattage :) I like variable wattage devices, because no matter what resistance atomizer you put on it, you get the same output/vape experience :)

I have a 1.4 ohm dual coil on my Nimbus right now. I was amazed, too. Tried a juice I loved prior and discovered I loved it even more when I could actually taste it more.

I was just wondering that today, I use the same setup and the 2.4 seems weak. Thanks!

Here is a great chart that can answer most questions...commercial units only, not mods. https://store-549f5.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/voltagechart-lg.jpg

Same thing. literally.
