Ideal volts\watts for new box mod

[SlicedTomatoz]

hi,

after vaping for 3+ years i finnaly got a 'proper' mod, a Innokin iTaste MVP3PRO with the isub G tank, and after fiddling a little i found a good setting but i wanted to ask, in the style of 'an idiots guide to vaping' what do the volts/ohms/watts actually do?

if it helps i got a C in physics so i have some understanding but not in e-cig terms

thanks xx

(ps, using vapemate 70pg/30vg sweet orange at 0.6mg of nicotine with an extra flavour shot)

its a combination of force, resistance, and the heat expended to do the work
volts is the pressure applied to the ball you are going to roll up the hill, the ball offers resistance ( ohms)to movement, the bigger the ball, the more force it takes to move it. Once you start pushing the ball ( and it has pretty much a constant resistive force to being moved) you start producing heat in your body ( due to the work being done...) watts. The speed at which you push the ball would be considered the amps ( strength required to push the ball faster)....

change any of the parameters ( force, angle of hill, size of ball) and the speed is different...
yup I know terrible analogy but its 6:20 in the morning and I only have 1/2 a cup of coffie in me

What's more important is finding the setting YOU like. My idea of the perfect setting for any given build may be drastically different from your preferred settings. So, set it where you like it and keep it simple.

What asbesto's said is correct find your sweet spot and stick to that, what someone else likes you may not. Different builds can change flavour, cloud size and temperature of your build also take into consideration the juice your using.

I like @Bunnykiller's answer, but here's another one.

Watts = the measurement of energy (heat) at the coil
Volts = the current applied to the coil to obtain the desired wattage
Ohms = the measurement of resistance in your coil.
Ohms law = the formula used to determine: watts, volts, ohms, amperage drain from battery.

You use two known numbers to arrive at the two unknowns.

• Input coil ohms and voltage will give you wattage and amps.
• Input amps and wattage will give you ohms and volts.
• Ohm's Law Calculator

Heat makes vapor.
Power makes heat.
Air flow cools down heat.

You got a C in physics?????????? What do they teach in the course.. Because if you are asking that basic a question you should have gotten a F.

volts is the pressure applied to the ball you are going to roll up the hill, the ball offers resistance ( ohms)to movement, the bigger the ball, the more force it takes to move it.

The volt represent the SIZE of the ball. The force is the AMPs at which the volts are supplied.

I'm at a bit of a loss too about the different purposes behind having the option to change voltages and power. I always thought that power(w) was voltage x current. Wouldn't cranking up the power crank up the voltage anyhow? Damn confusing and I got a C too in physics

Without either increasing volts or reducing the ohm rate, the wattage does note increase. Egg vs Chicken combined with cart before horse, type situation. Cause and effect

With a variable v/w mod you have the option of running in voltage OR wattage mode. Changing one, changes the other.

That makes sense kinda I guess over time the resistance of any given coil will change depending on the gunk built up on it, being heated repeatedly etc. I vape with my E-grip RBA full out at 20 watts and after a night of chaining the coil seems to return less and less even after a full charge. A new coil will always be back to being great but having that extra power to crank things up would be a real bonus.

variable voltage vs Variabble Wattage. I about HOW the mod is regulated.. In one it runs at a fixed volt rate, regardless the ohm rate of the coil. In the other the voltage is adjusted to maintain a fixed wattage output from the coil. Niether option actually adjust wattage at all. Both are regulating ONLY voltage.
