voltage and resistance (ohms) explained- AGAIN! Even more simplified this time

First we had atomizers. Those had to have juice dripped into them after every hit. So then we invented cartomizers. Which were basically atomizers with cotton stuffing around the heating coils. Then we made clearomizers, which were clear cartomizers. Then, we invented tank style clearomizers. These had coils wrapped around long wicks. The wicks extended into a tank of juice. This is the type of thing that you have, a clearomizer. Then we invented bottom coil clearos. These have the coils in a tube that is submerged in the juice. So the bottom coil clearos don't need to wick juice UP to the coil, because the juice just floods into the coil when you suck. If you have a kanger clearomizer, I'd take a guess that it is a bottom coil clearomizer. Kanger pioneered bottom coil clearos.

Voltage is easy. The electricity from your little e-cig's battery heats the coils. The coils of wire heat the juice thats soaked into the wick. If there are more coils, then the wire resists the electricity more. So we call this resistance. The lower the resistance, the easier it is for the battery to heat the coil up. So we like lower resistance. If you have a variable volt battery, you can use any resistance coil you want. This is because with variable volt batteries, you can just crank the electricity up, like a radio dial. (if your coil's resistance is high, you can just crank up the voltage!)

The best vape is when the voltage is 2 numbers higher than your coil's resistance number. So if your coil's resistance number is 1 ohm, then your battery's voltage would be good at 3 volts. If your coil's resistance is 1.5 ohms, the voltage is good at 3.5 volts. (resistance's unit of measurement is called an ohm)

Since your little e-cig batteries aren't variable voltage, the battery just uses what it charges up to. Your batteries charge up to 4.2 volts, and as the battery drains, they stay around 3.5 volts, until they reach 3.2 volts, which means your battery should be recharged. Since your battery will be around 3.5 volts on average for most of it's charge, you'd be happy with a resistance (aka ohms) around 1.5 ohms.

There. Just read that 3 times, memorize it, and you know everything the most experienced vaper should know. :)
