1.7 carto on 3.7 mod same as......

[Loveridden]

I am trying to figure this out? Is there a chart for this somewhere? If I like low resistance 1.7 carto on my 3.7 box mod, is that the same as a 3.0 carto on a 5 volt box mod? Amp/voltage wise? I think I read somewhere that different combos equal the same thing? I need baby talk on this though lol.

Reason I am wondering is this: I have a vv altoid box mod on the way, it goes up to 6 volts, and was wondering what I would like best at 5-6 volt range if I love 1.7 lr on 3.7 box mod......

Here is a nice calculator for you. This thing will slice and dice any watt,amps and volts you throw at it to give you the value you are looking for. Hope you find it useful and happy vapes

Ohm's Law Calculators

...3ohm @ 5v is close to the same wattage...here is something to play with(all you nasty minds just...stop) Ohm's Law Calculator ...enter different volts and resistance to see what amperage and wattage you get...way better than a chart(you get to play with it)..........

Thanks!! Not sure how to use it though, where do I put in the carto strength, is that amps? The battery strength would be volts, right?

 

[Loveridden]

Thanks!!! Don't know where to put the values in that one either tho!! lol

 

[madjack]

...cartos are rated by ohms, that would go in the resistance blank...battery voltage would go in...voltage.............
madjack
p.s. enter any two and hit "calculate" and it will give you the others............mj

Thanks, sorry

Batt is volts and carto is resistance. So you want to calculate for power (watts). Watts is the value that idicates how much heat your coil is getting. You are trying to compare the difference in voltage and resistance setups. So your 1.7ohm carto on a 3.7V batt pumps out around 8.05watts. 5volts with a 3.0 ohm carto would be 8.33watts and the 6V with same carto would give you 12 watts (a truely toatsy vape). Hope that helps.

Deleted....saw u posted basically what I said ^ lol

I bet 12 watts is a juice burner, right?

Correct. You learn fast Grasshopper. Enjoy and Happy New Year!!!

...yep, hit it hard and fast or you just might smell the smoke...lololol..........

Depends on the juice. The 6 volt range is on the high end with a 3 ohm carto/atty, but there are a few out there that dig that. I find the 8 - 9 watt range to be my sweet spot.

Thanks you 2, you rock!!

...me too...keep in mind, if you are talking about dual coils, that 12 watts would be split between the two coils or 6watts per coil and why dual coils are popular for high voltage..........

Now you have done it Jack . We just explained watts, volts amps etc and you had to throw in the DC variable . Happy vapes man and here is to a smoke free New Year for you!

 

[Loveridden]

I haven't tried dual coils yet. Only single coil cartos. So you are saying that for dual coil the total wattage is half of what the calculator says it should be?

...the wattage is what the calculator sez it is, it is just split between the two coils...one of those electrical oddities...and...I'm sorry, I REALLY didn't mean to muddy up the murky waters............

p.s. and a Happy(and fun) smoke free New Years to ALL..........mj

It's split evenly too unless the two coils have different resistance values Oh noooooo Don't listen to me, I'm just being funny.

Now that I have added yet another variable...

Check this thread: Voltage vs wattage discussion post #27 has a nifty chart from atomizer mizer showing the voltages and wattages in the ranges we often see on PVs.
