Advice on ohms.

[oasisgas]

Hi All, I just joined the forum and hope you guys can help me out.

I started vaping around 2 months ago and I am using the jacvapour vgo2.

I am using a 650mah manual battery and I just purchased some novatanks and have been trying out the different ohms.

I've noticed that some of the flavours I used are giving good vapour using the 2.8 ohm while another flavour is providing minimal vapour, I tried using the 1.8 ohm and whilst the vapour is very good the flavour is not the same as the 2.8 ohm.

Now I've been looking into the jacvapour variable battery and I was wondering if there such a thing as a good all round ohm to use on the VV which goes from 3.3v upto 4.8v.

I know the VV will be adjusted if u want more vapour or more flavour but does the ohm rating make a massive difference with a VV or will they all produce the same effect as it has VV???

Like I said earlier I like the 2.8 because if I had to choose flavour or vapour for me flavour outweighs the vapour but I would like the option to be able to adjust it incase I want abit more vapour.

I seen a few people say 2.4 ohm is good for VV so should I go for that or stick to 2.8 ???

Sorry If this is a basic or silly question but any opinions/advice would be greatly received.

I'd say try out the 2.4 ohm, 2.8 is a little high for me, but for many would work just fine. If your gonna be using a VV device the 2.4 will allow for a better spread for the voltage range.

Welcome!

Few things to consider:

The mysterious missing vapor could have to do with the PG/VG ratio of that particular liquid. High PG liquids can produce more throat hit and flavor, but less vapor. High VG liquids produce tons of vapor, but less throat hit and can slightly dull flavors too.

Different liquids react to higher heat - for better and for worse. Low resistance coils get hotter faster. LR tends to produce piles of vapor in short order, but can result in a particular liquid losing flavor at the same time. I get that, and really sense flavor loss in my liquids with lower resistance coils.

With a fixed voltage battery the only way you can change anything is to change the resistance. If the experience in general is underwhelming you move to a low resistance device to try and get more out of the fixed voltage. Once you hit VV that restriction has been removed, as you can tune the battery voltage to work best with the resistance of the device, rather than having to do it the other way around. You still may not like a LR coil any better, but at least you will be tuning in to the optimal voltage and know "it is what it is" at different voltages.

I would say try anything between 1.8 ohms and up to in the 2.4 range to see what you like best. It really comes down to a personal preference thing. And just remember - with the new battery just because you can go up to 4.8 v doesn't mean it's a good idea either. Start at the lowest voltage and work up to find the sweet spot for the combination of resistance and liquid you have going on.

Thanks for this I asked a similar question and it was over looked.

Some times a post can get lost really fast if there is a high activity stream on ECF. Things can drop down the list of new posts rapidly. It's not that we're being rude - this is a busy place! If that happens just bump your own post with another short message. The etiquette rules around here say you can do that twice in a 24 hour period.

Anything in 1.8-2.5 should work well.

Lower produces faster heat and can bring out unnoticed nuances.
Higher is slow to heat and flavor is less full

2.0 Ohms seems to work pretty good on my friends rig.

I use 1.5 with non-variable Voltage batteries. It starts out at Voltage that is a little too high for the Resistance, but it climbs down really fast. Then, I don't have to pull too hard when it drops. I prefer 2-2.4 in VV devices.

whilst the vapour is very good the flavour is not the same

I wish more Americans used the word "whilst." It's such a nice word.

Good info. I'm finding as juices steep I'm having to adjust as well. Don't know if there's any reason for this

I find 2 to 2.2 works good on a vv set at like 4v and 7.5 watts
U need to find your own sweet spot just mess with the settings that's all
