A bit confused about oHm/volts and juice taste

[invididual]

I dont know where to put this so I decided to put it here, please move if need be.

I have a juice that I like that tastes great on my Gripper but not on my Lavatube.

The Gripper runs at 3.7v so I got a 1.7Ω cartomizer to keep it around the 8 watts that I like.
1.7Ω @ 3.7v = 8.05294 watts, 2.17647 amps

On the LT using a 3.0Ω at 4.9v its right at the same wattage but the flavor tastes muted.
3.0Ω @ 4.9v = 8.00333 watts, 1.63333 amps

the only significant difference I can see there is the amps its drawing.

Both are XL Single Coil Smoktech cartomizers, the only difference is the 3.0 is designed for tanks

Is this normal?

The LT might be the culprit. My guess would be that the LT is not holding it's regulated boost at 4.9v, thus dropping power output below 8 watts. Maybe try a higher voltage with the LT to bring it in line. You've still got some amps to play with.

It could also be a quality issue on the 3ohm carto.

Also, where did those values come from? Did you get them (and confirm them) with a multimeter under load (using a special connector)? So, like Vego said, it may not be doing what the theoretical math says it would do. Also, surface area of the coil comes into play between the two different Ω atties/cartos so adjustment may be needed.

Note that the LT has an amp limit (I don't remember what it was...2.0 or 2.5 or something), however you are within it so that's not it. You will hit that wall with DCC's tho if you use them.

It's just what should be going on, I have no way to test it under load

I'm not using DCCs, though it might be a carto issue, I just can't wait to get a phiniac and be done with the DCTs lol

You can always bounce the voltage around on the LT until you find the taste that you are looking for.

Then you will know where 8watts really is on it

i know, i know, i think a device should work as intended silly me lol

the more i think about it though, the more i think its the cartomizer.

probably an I.D.10T. error

Up the voltage and see what happens.

i think it was the carto not being full saturated, when i went to mess with it last night it seems to be working fine, I.D.10T error confirmed

Thanks Unforeseen for placing this in the correct area
