anybody understand the vaping power chart?

[vonishere]

im just waiting for my stuff to come in by mail this friday.

vision spinner 2 (battery) 1650 mah,
voltage ratings: from 3.2 volts to 4.8 volts

kanger mini protank 2:
it holds 1.5mL capacity

this is the chart im hella confusing about and i went to their site dont understand at all. is there specific on what volt to put on and resistance if there is resistance?

Basically those charts are just to get a starting point. You'll need to know the resistance(ohms) of your atomizer. Do you know that? If not, do you have a link to what you bought?

If you're using the stock coils that came with your protank they should be 1.8 - 2.2 ohms. (It should say real tiny on the side of the actual coil and/or on the box it came in). If you built the coils yourself, I don't know what ohm you built them to....

So your ohms is on the left of that chart.
You can vape most anywhere in your 3.2 - 4.8 v range (top of the chart) and be in the green.
It might start tasting burnt in the higher range, depending on your taste and the liquid.

Usually advisable to start low and turn it up till your happy....if it starts tasting burnt, turn it down.

Enjoy!

Haha nope! but I sub ohm like crazy! Honestly once you read around and get well versed with ohms laws and understand resistance better, watts become irrelevant (with mech's anyway) and you pretty much just have an understanding of what's going to happen with what ohms at what volts.

My Reo, after voltage drop winds up being about 3.9 volts, and with a .49 ohm coil that thing is a killer!

The Protank comes with 2.5 ohm atomizer heads. So if you use the 2.40 ohm( it's the closest) designation on the left of the chart and follow it to the right till your under 4.75 volts(closest to 4.8) you'll see that the only voltage out of the light green(optimal) is the highest setting you have, which is in the purple at 9.40 watts. Basically you can use your whole range of voltages with the 2.5 ohm heads safely, though when you get up to the highest voltage setting the liquid may taste burnt depending on the liquid and your personal preferences. Just experminent till you find the best flavor /vapor combination for you, start at the lowest voltage and work your way up.

There's a chart that comes with the ProTank II. If it is the same as the V1 one I got, it says for 1.8 ohm use 3.3 volts, and for 2.4 ohm use 3.7 volts. That is your best guide, and you can vary it up and down from there. Looking at the chart above, they are saying that the Protank II with stock coils works best at 5.7W. Exactly which voltage you decide to use depends on the eliquid and your mood.

When you get your Mini PT II, there will be some instructions included, a little foldover piece. In there is a simple chart, use it for best results. Just in case it's not in there, I'll post it here for you.

Resistance: Volts:

1.7-1.9Ω 3.1-3.3V
2.1-2.3Ω 3.4-3.7V
2.4-2.6Ω 3.8-4.1V
2.6-3.0Ω 4.2-4.5V

Each heads' Ω is etched on its base if it's an authentic Kanger. I need a magnifier to see it, but you may have better eyes. If I remember correctly, the Mini PT II comes with 2.5Ω heads.
Good luck and enjoy your new rig!!

Those charts are confusing.

Use this simple equation:

Take the resistance of your carto/head/coil and then add 2

2ohms would be 4 volts

1.7 ohms would be 3.7 volts.

Adjust up or down to get to your sweet spot.

thank you for the big help!

Don't throw advice like that at someone that cannot even understand the Chart. If a simple graph is perplexing they certainly are not ready for calculating in their head.

Op, the chart - using resistance on the left(your coil) and various Voltages available(Top numbers) makes it easy to glance and KNOW roughly where everything will work best.
Falling below the Green area will cause flavors to become flat and tasteless as the e-liquid is not fully vaporizing.
Rising above the green can result in harsh burnt taste(can, not will) dependent on many factors. Device type/Liquid mix/Flavoring/etc.

If you own a VV or VW Device the chart makes it quick and simple to find a starting point, that's all. Adjust up/down to personal taste.

The vaping power chart is irrelevant to most people here. All people need to know is battery safety and ohms laws, and the rest will come naturally. I'm not going to have a chart tell me what makes my device work best, I'm going to adjust and experiment til I like it, and not have my tastes be subjectively influenced by a chart. Know your device, know your atomizer, and know your limits.

Also, if I were to go by this, I never would have enjoyed my rsst. I did 2.4 ohms at 6 volts. Where does that end up on the chart? My other devices that don't have regulation are .5 ohms at 3.9 volts. Where is that on the chart? To the OP, I would just start low and work your way up until you find a sweet spot. If you ignore the chart, the worst thing that's likely to happen is you get a burnt taste

I admit to using the chart, mostly for reference when I was starting vaping, but quite honestly I've got to the point where I start out low and bump up (voltage or power) until I'm happy.

It seems that there have been so many recent developments in vaping - especially with the mass-produced dual-coil atomizers - that the beloved chart is beginning to lose its usefulness.

That Safe Vaping Power Chart was created a couple of years ago for factory-made coils, mainly for cartomizer use. Clearomizers are a little less forgiving, so an even more conservative chart is needed for them.

RBA's are a completely different animal, so the above chart has no application at all.

And this will work with any atomizer, cartomizer, clearomizer, tank, RDA, etc...used with any VV or VW mod, it's quick and simple and automatically adjusts for different flavors or PG/VG ratio.....

Re-iterating what I said before (at least for me, and in my opinion) the chart has little applicability. Like Baditude said, which I wasn't aware of, it was mostly intended for applying to cartomizers. Once you get in to rebuildables, its totally irrelevant. If I went by this with my RDA's, I would be a saaad panda

Id put that squarely at burnt juice.

If he tries that with a carto or a head its going to burn up almost immediately.

Yeah with a clearo or carto then yeah its not going to be fun, but regarding rebuildables it's irrelevant. Like I said, with any atomizer, just start low and bring voltage up until your happy. My examples were just extreme cases where the chart doesn't apply

True, but this only proves the point.....and one you totally missed. ECF has an ever growing membership and many many new Vapers are constantly coming into the fold. Many of them do not know and likely will never understand Ohms Law.I never said the Chart is gospel. It is what it is........ A good reference Starting point. As always, adjust to taste. The chart is based on rational calculations and does have merit. I also used it when I started and I have been in DC electronics most of my life. It was a quick simple reference.

You seem to enjoy using I, IIIII....This is not about You or I. It is about everyone. We forget that, our post are worthless.
