2.6 - 2.8 ohms

[NoSoupfOu]

I bought 2 packs of the 2.6-2.8 because i wanted to try something higher. The plan was to have a VV battery by now, but i still have the 1300 no VV battery.

If i were to use these, how much of a difference would it be going from 2.4-2.6 to 2.6-2.8? Should i save these 10 until i have a VV battery?

Any help very much appreciated!

FYI, halo recommends using 3.0-3.2 ohm coils with their VV battery.

Ah ok. Still learning all the tricks and tips to E-cigs. How much difference will going from 2.2 - 2.4 to 2.6-2.8 be?

I would probably try to save them until you have the VV battery. and despite what Halo recommends on the website, its perfectly alright to go lower than 3 ohms with a variable voltage battery. That is the point of a variable voltage battery, you can use any ohm. & if you use those on a regular eGo battery it'll be pretty weak in the throat hit and vapor areas. If you use a higher MG juice than your used to, the throat hit can increase but you wont be able to get a lot of vapor without a VV battery set to around 4.5 to 5 volts. Your regular battery is either regulated at 3.7 or 3.3 volts (depends on which one u have) and soo the resistance of the cartos you have won't get enough power from that voltage range. A good rule of thumb is to increase the voltage 2 volts compared to the resistance of the coils. So a 3ohm carto is good around 5 volts.

So using my 3.7 1300 triton battery with 2.4-2.6 ohms would not be good at all?

I'm glad your asking this because I'm trying to figure it out on my new Triton VV... I don't need to know all the scientific formulas w/ohms and crap but trying to figure out if higher volts and lower ohms equate to more taste/vapor or is it opposite or what.

As soon as I think I understand, then BOOM, I'm lost again. Lol. I've seen the chart for optimal range, but it doesn't answer the question above. I'm still playing around w/my VV and I had it on 4.3 with 3.0-3.2 ohms and I felt like my regular Triton with 2.2-2.4 ohms gave me more vapor and taste was equal.

There is no "right" resistance that you have to use with the variable voltage battery. The reason that 3.0 ohms is recommended is simply that you have more play at the upper end of the voltage setting, but I use the Triton vv with the stock 2.2 - 2.4 Triton tanks just fine.

As far as the 2.6 - 2.8 ohm coils, they may actually be preferred by some with the standard Triton batts, some will prefer a hotter-hitting coil...it is all a matter of taste.

Cool thx for the info. I bought a bunch of new Triton tanks and I thought the standard stock was 2.2-2.4 on those. The problem was I didn't buy nearly enough 3.0-3.2 replacement coils so I was hoping a standard tank would work ok

Give it a try and see for yourself. Its not like your going to hurt them.

I use 3.2 carto's and a VV Provari and I never go above 3.7......so there... (I like the vape at that voltage and the Cartos last for 3 weeks at a lower voltage)

Its all in what you like.....or what you get use to.

The chart is indeed irrelevant.

What it comes down to, is how long a draw you can pull, without getting a dry hit.

The general advice with VV's is: dial it up as far as you can without getting a dry hit, regardless of how long your draw is, then dial it down to your taste.

Each e-liquid will have its own high point, and their own "preferred" setting.

I'd love to know your experience: I'm finding that Southern Classic tastes a lot better when my battery is fully charged aka near 4.2v, on a standard 2.2-2.4 ohm coil.

Sorry, I'm supposed to be getting my setup tomorrow But if you increase the resistance, the liquid will be cooler for a given voltage setting.

Save em...you want to hit 6-7 watts anyway...with a mechanical or a APV the voltage will NEVER get above the battery voltage...even on a VV system the voltage is just regulated BELOW battery level...I usually run 1.5Ω to 2.0Ω give or take...this way I get a warm vape...on my 5vdc USB bypass rig...I run the higher resistances because the low resistance coils seem to get too hot too fast

This chart will help explain it a bit better (watts = heat, heat = faster vape and the ability to burn your juice faster)

It's not completely irrelevant..your tastebuds will be the final deciding factor

The chart just shows you a good starting point...my Vamo...I run ALL my heads at 6.5watts...unless they start tasting hot...then I turn it down...

My 5vdc USB bypass came with a 2.2Ω head...if I didn't pull REALLY hard on it or hold the button down too long...I started tasting the all to familiar "hot metal" taste...with a 2.8Ω or higher...it vapes good and doesn't get that hot metal taste

Sorry, I'm supposed to be getting my setup tomorrow But if you increase the resistance, the liquid will be cooler for a given voltage setting.

increasing resistance with a fixed voltage...the power goes down....less power means the coil won't heat as fast (if you hold the button down it will keep heating, you will still be able to vape...but it will end up using more power as you have to hold the button down longer)

I need to print this chart off and tape it to my forehead! Thanks for the chart! I have seen several of these and some are really "fine tuned and confusing". But looking at this, it looks like 2.0-3.6 ohms range pretty much covers the entire Halo line of products..meaning for volts and best range.

So I would assume it does come down to taste..so as someone trying to dabble w/ohms for the first time, I guess the confusion (at least for me) is that I didn't want to potentially fry a battery and was curious about the best range for taste and vapor. Seeing this, I realize I won't fry my VV or any of my Halo batts, between the range of 2.0-3.6 ohms and I need to test it out for taste/vapor.

I still don't fully understand if higher volt/higher ohms produces more flavor or lower but I've got only 2 different coil types right now so that's all I can try anyway and play w/the VV volts. Plus I think it's going to be very hard remembering which tanks have the 2.2-2.4 versus the 3.0-3.2 ohms anyway since they are all Triton tanks. I switch up 5-6 flavors! But good to know I won't fry any of my batts if I mix em up!

 

[WarHawk-AVG]

most resistance ranges are from 1.8Ω to 3.2Ω (is what I have seen)

On a non-regulated...a 2.2Ω-2.4Ω is usually center of the mark (for where I vape at) a VV since it only restricts total voltage (it will not go over 4.2vdc even cranked all the way up) you can go lower...1.5Ω to 1.8Ω then dial it down (actually start at bottom and slowly turn up)...on an APV on watts setting, I have run 1.8Ω to 3.1Ω with no problems at all (because in an APV it actually cranks up the voltage to well above 4vdc, then regulates it back down [called a buck boost circuit, it draws more current from battery, but offers a MUCH MUCH wider range of power settings])

Like I said "most" users find a good vape between 6-7 watts...but it all boils down to personal preference

Thank you. Finally! Respectfully, I see a lot of noobs obsessing over this issue when in fact, in many cases, its a waste of time and money for them. IMHO here is the litmus test for noobs:

Fully charge a non regulated bat like the 650. Load your juice and Triton tank (with the standard/default heads-2.2 to 2.4) and Vape and consume juice: a significant portion of the juice and depleate the bats charge until it refuses to fire the tank. Perform this test with a couple of your juices over a period of days.

Then answer this question:

Did the juice/vape taste about the same during your vaping session with the conditions above? If your answer is yes then any discussion or obsessing or purchases or experimentation with other heads is a waste of your time, money, and energy and will only frustrate you. Your taste buds have not yet recovered from smoking. Your buds are nuked. That's fine and to be expected and part of the vaping journey that we all went through.

On the other side of the coin, ask others or me whose buds have recovered to a point where they CAN TELL the difference across multiple juices in the vape taste from a freshly charged non regulated bat to it's depleated state with the conditions I posted above. Often refered to as the "sweet spot" when using a non regulated bat.

According to the chart above, with a Triton VV with voltage range of 3.3 to 4.8 V, and with 3.0 - 3.2 ohm coils, one will never be in the pink zone.

6-7 Watts range will be possible with the 4.4-4.8 V range.

Does most people like the 6-7 Watts range for Halo tobacco series liquids?

 

[BigBen2k]

Does anyone know the current limit (amps) of a Triton VV? Isn't it 2 amps?
(if it is, it limits power to 9.6 Watts on a 2.4 Ohm coil)

In my humble opinion, whoever ends up with the biggest pile of E-cig stuff does not win- they only spent the most money! I don't have any desire to go any further than standard batteries for my Triton {with the standard 2.2 ohm coils} as it works INCREDIBLY well according to my taste buds. I clean coils every two or three refills and replace coils when the main wick is spent.....and that is IT. I am happy I found a great setup the first time. I feel VERY fortunate for this. Thank you, Halo.
