Am I crazy with a 1.8 ohm coil on ProTank?

[Kellycat]

Here's what surprised me a little at first - when I thought "somethings wrong with the flavor" on my ProTank, vaping at 8 watts, compared to the same juice in an EVOD. Yes, there's a slight difference in draw, etc - but REALLY what I had figured was that there is a TASTE difference between different resistance coils - EVEN IF YOU'RE USING VW.
I had kind of assumed that having set watts instead of voltage would make it so any resistance would work - but nope, I have a preference for a coil thats 1.5-2.0. Higher, and I lose something. I'm sure there are other folks for whom it's the opposite, choosing 3 ohm coils becuase it effects their vape.

Thank you for posting this, I honestly had noticed something similar but had always assumed it was my mind playing tricks on me..I think more people need to be aware of this phenomenon. I mean I never even considered it as for a while I had a Vamo with VW and did the same as you, 7 watts, no matter the head I used it should taste the same, but it didn't. Just chalked it up to my taste buds, but if someone else can back it up, it seems like it is the heads. Not had any trouble since I started making my own though, knock on wood.

I find 1.8 ohms to be the sweet spot for use with ego batteries. Your pulling less than 2 amps with a standard ego running 3.3 volts so I wouldn't be too concerned about ruining the batteries. You will probably get a shorter vape time per charge and you may have to replace the battery a month or so sooner but the better performance it worth it.

Watts/volts=amps do the math! Higher amp less battery life,
Enough batteries in my stock so i dont care

Lower resistance heats up faster, but drains higher amps. Kill the battery faster and shortener the lifespan

True if u vape at the same voltage - but more than likely (at least I do) - the lower the ohms the lower the voltage and the lower the current to get the same power as in watts.......so no - you shouldnt drain ur battery any faster......i think it should last longer -mine do.....

Example
8w on 1.8ohms need 3.8v, 8w/3.8v=2.105amp
8w on 3.0ohm needs 4.9v, 8w/4.9v=1.6amp

2x2=4 everywhere unless you are a accountant

No, you are not crazy. YOu need to know two things, the lady who sold you the head doesn't know anything, and second, neither do you. Why? because the lower Ohms will draw more current (less resistance right?) using more amps and more battery life. Just kiddin' 'bout you though. Vaping is a process and an evolution that takes time to learn all the ins and outs. You've certainly come to the right place,though, to learn. Good luck and best to you!

Thank you! It finally sunk in......

Or the government.

That is normally what I choose but you have to watch the hot smoke burning your lips.

1.5 & 1.8 ohm coils on my protank with KTS mod, I like it a world better than the 2.4ohm that it came with.

 

[Yojimbo82]

Thanks for the info everyone. I had a 1.8 on my Smoktech Mini Nova and loved it with my Ego passthru. Had a feeling this was the way to go for me.

Love to get into rebuilding at some point, but I have a three year old and a fifteen week old. Needless to say, hands are full!

Thanks again, ladies and gents.

Hey hey hey now - I am an accountant and I do work for the government.............lol...........my bad - i see what u saying.....but I have to say - 1.3 - 1.8 taste much better than 2.4 - my preference....

 

[OlDogNewTricks]

1.8 - 2.0 works great for me

 

[ElConquistador]

My first 1.8 ohm atomizer was a shock after only using 2.4 or higher atty's. Much better.

I use higher resistance. I go between 2-2.5 Ohm single coils, and I've gotten to like 2.5 Ohm dual coils. I like the resistance at that level. It's the middle ground of a cooler vape, without sacrificing the cloud production.

And you can have a higher wattage output with a lower current...so it has to deal with current..which will be altered with different resistance and Power/Energy outputs.

Current= Voltage/Resistance as well as Current= Square root[Wattage/Resistance]

Everything plays a role in battery life, but it is current that will determine your battery duration.
