Asking guidance about different resistance on clearos/cartos

[hillbilly20]

Hi everybody,
I would be grateful if some one could help me with the following questions,
1:what is the difference between clearos with different resistance? like 1.8 with 2.3 etc.
2:what is the difference between ce4/ce5.ce6 and vivi nova models v1-v11
3:what kind of tanks/clearos do you suggest that conveys a good flavor and work both with itaste svd and ego bats.
Many thanks in advance

1.8 and 2.3 is the resistance yes and lower number is lower resistance. Like a waterhose thinner hose is bigger resistance, same thing in an electrical wire thinner wire and bigger resistance.

1.8 ohm is great with normal Ego bats. SVD it don't know.

Yeah 1.8 is the way to go. I think the kangers are the best clearomizers for flavor.

V = R * I
and
P = V * I

Where V= voltage
R=resistance (Ohm)
I=current (Amperes)
P=power (Watts)

With those two equations, you can calculate any electrical circuit, the amps being circulated, and most importantly, how much power you've applying to your e-liquid, as you vape. A standard LiPo (Lithium-Polimer) battery provides about 4.2 volts, dropping to 3.7 or lower, before it triggers "time to recharge" (actual voltage is more like 3.7 dropping to 3.2). A "twist" maintains the same voltage, regardless of the charge state of the battery, and you can adjust it. Nice circuit to have, if you have a problem with unsteady power levels as you vape, or if you want to try a higher voltage than what is provided with a standard battery. Alternatively, you use a lower ohm coil; the voltage remains as described above, but will draw more amps, and give you more heat. If that doesn't meet your taste,or tends to affect your e-liquid of choice in a negative way (rare), you can try a higher ohm rating. 2.2 Ohm is pretty common.

1) The lower the resistance, the stronger the coils burn. For example:
A 1.8 ohm clearomizer will be good with a regulated battery such as an ego because you cannot adjust the output voltage.
A 3.0 ohm clearomizer will be too weak if used on an ego so it will be better used on the SVD where you can adjust voltage or wattage.

2) CE4,5,6 are pretty much the same with the difference of interchangeable heads. The CE4 head is not interchangeable and therefore are disposable. CE4+ and later, instead of throwing away the whole thing, you just need to replace the coil head, which is the case for the Vivi Nova's. I'm not really sure about differences in detail but that's all I know.

3) Both the EVOD and Vivi Nova are well known and highly recommended, but. My vote goes for the EVOD, although my choice would be the iClear 30 and 16 which came with my iTaste vv v3 and iTaste MVP. IMHO, they are both excellent clearomizers, because I prefer top coil over bottom coil.

Hope this helps some.

thank you all,I don not know why I cant get enough flavor through icear 30.I never heard some one unhappy with it,but it is curious why I just can't cope with it

 

[BigBen2k]

What's your e-liquid?

Some juices that are heavy in VG can have an impact. Other juices from less popular vendors haven't steeped long enough, and just need to sit for a few weeks (1 to 3).

 

[hillbilly20]

I have tried different juices.the ones that I got from vapor bomb are quite well in ce4,but in iclear 30 tastes like water

Well, the iClear's do have what you call a break in period, mine was good after 2 refills. Also, as BigBen has stated, if your vaping liquid with high vg content, the wicks may not work fast enough if your chain vaping and steeping can also help with flavor for some vendors liquids.

 

[Samurai671]

Also, some liquids are good at higher volts and some are good at lower volts.

Hail Cantabridgian! lol

Ok, your basic rule about picking resistance: Lower resistance (LR) stuff gets hotter faster. Higher resistance? Exact opposite - doesn't get as hot and takes longer to get there. It doesn't sound like much of a difference between 1.8 and 2.3 ohms but that little difference impacts how much vapor you get and how fast, and more importantly can impact how your liquids taste. You really need to try one in each resistance to sort out what you like. Depending on your liquid, one liquid might taste great at 1.8 ohms, a different liquid does better at 2.3 ohms. Stuff like that.

If your batteries are fixed voltage changing the resistance of a device is also the only way you can tweak anything. You can't change voltage up or down, but you change the resistance of your atty, carto or clearo. Since this is such a personal preference thing - more vapor less vapor, hotter (with LR) or cooler - try both options.

Oh lord - clearo picks or ViVi Nova? That's a can of worms. Ultimately, what Samurai671 said. My own preference is for the Kanger T3 style which has 1.) the coil on the bottom and 2.) has a coil that can be replaced, rather than tossing the whole thing out. I don't get (literally) the clearos or ViVi Nova's that have the coil on top, liquid on the bottom. No matter how many wicks they have in them they still need tipping and rolling around to keep it going.

I had an iclear clearomizer with three different ohm options. I had the best luck with the 2.8. It was a fun experiment I guess, but it kept leaking, and having issues. I was always fiddling with it. It was just a whim at a local shop to get one. I quickly went back to my cartos and ibtanked tanks. The iclear hits were a little harsher which was kind of fun, but I was constantly trying to find the sweet spot on the voltage and I wasn't thrilled with the flavor.

 

[Samurai671]

Well, think of it like this, if you like warmer vapes, go with the top coil because it has a shorter distance from coil to mouth.
If you like cooler vapes, go with the bottom coil as the distance from coil to mouth is farther. I use my EVOD when I want cooler vapes, but as I said I prefer top coils because I like warmer vapes.

So would you please explain a little more about warm/cool vape? And regarding iclear 30, what is the break in period? I use different eliquids and after every time i use one i wash it completely! With several dry burns!!I have no idea whether is it a good thing or not

 

[BigBen2k]

"Top coil" heat the e-liquid closer to the tip, where you vape from, and as a result, will feel hotter, like a real cig. Bottom coils are further, so are a bit cooler, but have less issues with wicking, because the entry point is better submerged in the e-liquid. There's also dual coils (top and bottom), if you feel more adventurous.

This is very dependent on liquid and personal preference, but for me, when I vape tobacco flavors like RY4, I like to vape it warm so I use top coil clearomizers like the iclear 30 or 16. When I want to vape fruit flavors and for some, menthol, I use bottom coil clearomizers like the evod so I will get the full flavor possible without lack of flavor, if that makes any sense.

Break in period usually is after 2 to 4 refills. Dry burning is okay, but if you overdo it you might pop the coil on the iclear so be careful when you do. I usually dry burn by pressing the button for 2 sec, then blow on the coil and repeat until the sizzling goes away and the threads are somewhat dry.

 

[hillbilly20]

thanks,valuable information
so t3 and t4 are bottom coil? except evod which are bottom coil?

 

[Ttown]

IMO, don't go with the top coils. They are a pain to have to keep filling them up after just a few hits off of them.

I use EGO's and an SVD.
And I'd point out a few things:
1) 1.8 is my preferred resistance for the EVODs. 2.4 will work, but sometimes it's a little "too hard" for the battery to max the vapor for you
2) On the SVD, it's fine to use 2.4's - so, for instance, I have a ProTank that I only use on the SVD, not the EGO's (I could, but it looks funny) - and for that I order 2.4 ohm coils.
3) After testing several types, I now use EVODs and T3's and T3-Mini's. All "real" Kanger - not from FastTech. A lot of people are happy with FastTech copies of these clearomizers, but I found them inferior, and they're not THAT much less...
4) NOTE - On the SVD, the my T3's get their air choked off! It's not the top ring - it's that the Ego threads are deep enough to block the airflow!

So given that, here's what I'm leaning towards:
EGO - 1.8 resistance, using EVOD and T3, and if I want to, the bigger ProTank
SVD - ProTank (it just looks PERFECT, size-wize for the SVD), and EVOD.

I think I like the "hit/flavor" of the EVOD a LITTLE better than the ProTank - so I don't think I'll get a ProTank Mini
I AM looking around thinking, "what else should I try, in a ProTank SIZE clearo - that might have better flavor" - seems a little muted.

 

[hillbilly20]

Wow,great
So are fasttech stuff fake?? Where should I get these stuff with a decent price?
