SKeet do you know the purpose of variable voltage? Its so you can maximize the vapor and throat hit with whatever resistance you have. Just like 1.5ohms is great at 4.2 through 3.7v, 2ohms will be great cranked up to 5v. you up the voltage for the ohms of your coils. And I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure your battery drains less when youre using higher voltage w/higher ohms.

It is not the volts you need for increased battery life, It depends on the amps.

:thumb: This.

The Safe Vaping Power Chart is a basic guideline. It will help you find your "sweet spot" depending upon what voltage range you prefer, or how many watts you prefer to use, or gives you the safe range of volts/watts to use for the particular ohm delivery device you use.

Amp draw is the key to battery useage, and that chart reveals nothing about that. Low resistance actually pulls more amps from the battery, standard resistance pulls less energy from the battery, and high resistance pulls even less energy.

I actually don't use variable voltage for the above reasons. I find that my individual flavors taste better at different voltages. Fruits like low voltage, coffees like medium, some of my cinnamon flavors like higher. I adjust for taste/flavor.

I like a cooler vape, not warm. So I use high resistance, single coil cartomizers.

Ah! That's what I meant... how does it affect the vaping experience. I get the electronics. So voltage affects the taste, and resistance the heat?

I mainly set for throat hit and vapor, and I of course avoid burnt taste. but I can see how if you shoot for tasting the juice at its best, and you don't mind a smooth cool vape, you would go for higher resistances since it allows you a larger voltage range, allowing you to taste at lower voltages with a cooler vape and still allowing you to crank out some vapor and kick at higher when needed.
