So, you've got your first device, and your probably wondering what all the electrical numbers mean and how they affect you.
Now I'm going to write this guide in any major order, but I'll try and keep it understandable for most, im not a professional on the subject this is just theory ive learned over time so, here we go!
So first of all, voltage. Now most of you will probably have a fixed voltage device, but a few may have a 'variable voltage' device, fixed voltage is simply that, the voltage output is non adjustable.
So what IS voltage? Basically, its the force that pulls power through the ecig.
In most cases an increase in voltage will increase the amount of power going to an atomizer, and a decrease reduces it. What does this mean to you? The little coil in there gets hot as an electrical current passes through, causing nearby liquid to heat up. Once the liquid reaches a certain temperature, it will vapourise, turning into the vapour you know and love!
Now, if you increase the voltage, this will increase the amount of heat generated by the coil. As this voltage increases 2 things will happen, first of all, the liquid right near the coil will be most sensitive to the change, too much voltage and it'll taste burnt. Secondly, thanks to physics, the increased heat output means that liquid further away from the coil gets vapourised too! It's all about finding that balance between vapour and flavor!
Now, you've looked around on the net for new atomisers/carto/tanks, and you see 'high resistance' 'low resistance' '1.5Ohms' and think '...huh?' Well, hopefully I can help clear that up
Right, now a helpful little equation is V/Ohms=A, where v is voltage, ohms is resistance, and A is amps.
This will come to play in a second.
So say we take a standard Ego 650Mah battery with a 2 ohm atomizer, the battery has a maximum amp output of 2.5A, and they're fixed at 3.7v (although charge level does change this slightly) so 3.7v divided by the 2.0Ohm resistance is 1.85A.
This means that the 2ohm atomizer may run too cool as you're not using the full 2.5amps the battery has to offer. But, if we use a 1.5 ohm atomizer, we end up with a 2.47A draw in the system.
So now what more can we do with these numbers? This is were wattage comes into play. It's the final calculation of power output and is useful for determining which atomizers will be best suited to your system.
Now to work out watts we multiply voltage by amp draw. So on the same 3.7v battery, the 2 ohm Atty makes 6.845 watts of power, whereas the 1.5 ohm makes 9.139 watts.
So just by doing a bit of math and logic, we've gained approximately 33 percent power over out blind setup.
Basically, all I'm trying to say, is be wary of your amp limit, and work things out if you're not sure
Anyway, I'm getting tired, wrote this on a caffeine rush in 12 minutes and I'm losing concentration, I may rewrite this in the morning a little more methodically
