I was wondering since I got some 2.4 - 2.6 ohm CE2 clearos and find they're a little too warm for me on my 3.7v PV, would 0.2 ohms higher make a noticeable difference? I'm used to standard resistance atties and didn't find the LR egoT atty to be that much warmer at all compared to normal resistance. 0.1 - 0.2ohm difference seems like it wouldn't change much to me, but that's why I'm asking; I dont know!

I'd really appreciate any input before I invest in ever so slightly higher resistance clearos.

CE2s usually give a warmer vape at the same ohm rating in comparison to atties. Probably due to the placement of the coil being closer to the tip. I would try moving to the next up, that should help a little. Will that little bit of a ohm rating change make a huge difference at the same voltage, no...but it will make a difference.

Here's a wattage chart for 3 - 4.2V and 1.5 - 3.0 ohms that might give you an idea:

.... Might as well soldier it out until I break these ones. I've found an old 510 cart I can use a makeshift mouthpiece. It's a ton cooler and I hope when my drip tip gets here it'll be a better warmth too. Thanks again!

Also remember to get off the button a little early--the coil will still make vapor on the last part of your draw.. Another trick I use from time is opening my mouth a little to mix some fresh air on the inhale. One more suggestion just in case you haven't ran across it yet. Lift your tongue a little and let the taste buds under there get involved. vape on. :vapor:

Another thing to try is, if you have one, a drip tip (metal would be best). This will cool the vapor down some. The only problem with this is that after a while you get some liquid above the silicone seals from vapor condensing; just remove clearo and blow out when it becomes noticeable.

ETA:

Thank you. I didn't think it would make much of a difference. Might as well soldier it out until I break these ones. I've found an old 510 cart I can use a makeshift mouthpiece. It's a ton cooler and I hope when my drip tip gets here it'll be a better warmth too. Thanks again!


So never mind the above. LOL ;)

If you plug in two values, it tells you the others (like resulting watts). So

3.7 volts, 2.5 ohms = 5.5 watts
3.7 volts, 2.7 ohms = 5.1 watts

Or you can use Voltage squared divided by resistance (V*V/R) to get watts also.

Both results are really quite cool (to me).

If you have not all ready, What you should is measure the ohms of your cartos and the voltage of your PV. The reason being is that many 3.7 volt PV’s are actually putting out about 3.5 volts.

And carto ohm can vary in ohms also. I’ve gotten cartos, or G4’s, that were supposed to be 2.5 ohms only to find that the ohms were much higher. I’ve also gotten cartos that are lower ohms that they were supposed to be.

Going from 2.5 ohms to 2.7 ohms will make a difference using the same e-liquid. If it is enough? Hard to say.
