Question about voltage to ohm ratio...

[jcp42877]

I've become an avid follower of several of the voltage charts online to help me decide which variable voltage on my eGo T upgrade I should use with my heads; 3.3 or 4.2...

While I've gotten pretty good Vapes from matching the correct ratio, I was intrigued the other day hanging out with my buddy who is a pro at all things vape, to say the least.

He uses an ego twist with a Phoenix rebuildable atomizer. Well he was fiddling with his atty the other day making a new coil he said was about 1.6-1.9 ohms in resistance. Thing is, he uses 4.8 voltage on his battery. Won't this fry something?! Yet he never has problems with something burning or popping.

I attached his battery to my Vivi nova with a 2.8 ohm head and the vape was phenomenal!!! If it was that good and warm at that resistance, how can he even stand using 4.8 on his 1.6 ohm coil?!

I'm only wondering, because its making me think I should try my 4.2 voltage on my own battery and the 1.8 ohm head I'm currently using.

I'm just nervous something will fry :/

Try it
It should work.
If it doesn't I'll PayPal you $2

Lol you'll be fine. The sweet spot for a lot of people is the resistance of the atomizer plus 2 to give you the ballpark for best flavor and vape. Obviously you can adjust this down or up a bit for individual preference but it comes pretty close.

In your case 1.8ohms plus 2 equals 3.8 volts......0.6 volts isnt going to fry the atty but it might shorten its life considerably.

Holy crap.... I've been missing out on this for almost 4 weeks now just because I was nervous...

didnt do all that great first. But then I noticed some lint was on the battery connection and I blew some black specks put of the tank...now it's amazing!
