could some one tell me the reason for the different ohms,,,or how do you decide which one that you need?
i am using ego twists,,ego T mod,,ego T upgrade..
also after i clean the R coil in hot water and let dry for several days,,it never seems to work like it did when it was new.
i have to prime it several times to get a good vape off it.:confused::confused::confused:

Not that I'm an expert, but, as I understand it:

Low Resistance : 1.x ohms means the wire is bigger thus burning hotter. starting at 30 awg and going down from there. Using more power, lower battery life.
Standard : 2.x is what is most common in carto's & T3/CE3/etc.. Generally around 32 awg. Wire is smaller(more resistance) thus using less power meaning longer battery life.

I find on my Ego-C (3.3v output) the LR heads work best. Not as much vapor if using a Standard Res.(2.3-x)
On my X2(3.7v output) I find the Standard is fine.
On my Vision vv I can play with the voltage to fit the circumstances.

So low volt output device(3.3v) use Low Resistance, Moderate volt output device(3.7v) use Standard.
Use High Resistance on High output device generally up to 5v MODs.

As to cleaning, once you have cleaned the wick it probably alters the makeup of the fibers and requires longer to absorb the juice I would think. As long as you can get it to a good vape after priming, no big deal IMHO.

i have ordered 2 of each ohms to play with,,if i don't have,,i gotta get it (LOL).

Everyone out there has different preferences for vaping... this is why there are a lot of choices available to choose from. As mentioned... the amount of ohms resistance that your atty/carto/clearo has, along with the voltage your PV uses will, in part, determine how warm the vapor is as well as how saturated the flavor is ( ie the amount of flavor ). Since everyone has a slightly different preference, it is important that you find out what yours is. To do this, you need to know what the power level... aka how many watts... you seem to prefer with the various e-liquids you like the flavor of.

The math formula to determine wattage ( power ) is a simple one... watts = volts ( energy ) squared divided by ohms ( resistance ) or... P = E2/R

When you know what wattage you prefer, you can then select the ohms of the carto you better choose closer to the preference you like. On the fixed voltage PV's you have, you will need to be more exact in your selection... on the VV eGo Twist you don't need to be as picky since you can adjust up or down the voltage to get to the vape you like most. The variable wattage devices that are now starting to be more common, make this even easier since all you do is set for the wattage you like to start with and don't need to calculate it first in order to get what you like... they are almost set it and forget it.

There are some additions factors that come into play as well, even though the above covers the basics... But you should know that each e-liquid can taste "burnt" at different wattages, so that will also factor in. In addition, the atty/carto/clearo's all perform slightly differently depending on how they are designed, so these factors can affect the flavor as well. You may also find you prefer slightly different wattage settings for different types of e-liquids.... perhaps you may prefer to have a coolor vape on the fruity tasting e-juice and a warmer one say on a coffee flavor.

For others who are mathematically challenged like me Ohm's Law Calculator :p It has been said that 5 watts is about a "prime" vape.:blink: But to each their own.

The ZMax v2 ( which GotVapes carries ) is one such... as is a Kick which can be added to some 18xxx sized PV's ... there are now many others as well.

As for the "mathematically challenged" statement... that's just too politically correct for me... I'd just as soon refer to it as what it really is... lazy. Of course, that doesn't mean we shouldn't work smart and ignore the calculators either... I even have an app for that... :D

Okay, call me lazy then.
