Asking guidance about different resistance on clearos/cartos

[hillbilly20]

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.

Tnx alot,what is the difference of t3,t3s,and t4??

They're variations of the specific model, just like the CE4,5,&6, but way better and like the EVOD are bottom coil and they are all Kanger brand. They make the best bottom coil clearomizers to date, specifically the T3, EVOD, and Protank.

FastTech items, some are good and some are bad. Like the EVOD they sell compared to the real deal, they do leak a little bit, at least mine did. But they do have some authentic items like the iTaste series APV and they are the only one that I know that has warranty on everything they sell. There is a thread dedicated to FastTech so you might want to check that out. Only downside is they are in Hong Kong, so shipping takes a while compared to US vendors, but average waiting time till you get it is about 10 days. I've made 6 orders so far with average waiting time of about 10 days and all were good, but your experience may vary.

Sorry, forgot.
My recommendation for a US vendor would be Discount Vapors. Not only do they carry a lot of Kanger stuff, their prices are competitive, and Eric the owner is a cool guy. Check out the Discount Vapors forum in the supplier forums.

I was curious would you recommend the 1.8ohm coil for a twist battery with an evod?

 

[TBPlayer2112]

Sure, you could use a 1.8 ohm coil in a Evod on a Twist, I do it all the time. But the general rule is 'lower ohms, lower volts'. I like my fruity flavors with a 1.8 and my battery set to @ 3.4-3.6 volts. Anything above 3.6 and I get a burnt taste. Everything else I use a Evod or Protank mini with 2.5ohm heads set at 4.2-4.4 volts depending on the juice or my mood.

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

I am sure someone went over this but hopefully my example helps. I got a 2.1 ohm dual coil iClear 30. I only have a eGo-V V2 mega VV battery to vape it with (Currently waiting to buy an SVD! So I am jealous!) So lets do some simple math....


P= Power/Watts
V= Volts
R= Resistance/Ohms


If I turn my eGo all the way up to 6 V then how many Watts am I pushing through the coils of my iClear 30? (just FYI with a dual coil you add the resistance of BOTH the coils. So I really have 4.2 Ohms all together. Also when you get your watts at the end of this equation you need to split the watts between the 2 coils.)


Equation for finding your watts is >> P = V² ÷ R
6²(V²) = 36
36 ÷ 4.2(R) = 8.5
P = 8.5
Now since its a dual coil you have to split that wattage over 2 coils!!! So...
8.5 ÷ 2 = *ROUGHLY 4.3 WATTS PER COIL*


Now the tricky part here is learning what YOU like to vape at. 4.3 watts per coil is pretty dang low according to the majority of people. 7-10 watts is the low to average for most I would say. But of course it depends on what juice I am smoking and probably a million other factors so don't be held down by that rough estimate. It is very rough. Different juices or types of clearos/carts can change what wattage you like to vape at.


Now I know what you are thinking, I only had 4.3 watts going over each coil of my iClear 30?! That is really really low! And that is exactly the point I am trying to make. My VV wouldn't even go high enough to get where I wanted it to burn! Of course I didn't realize this until after I had bought and used the iClear 30. If I had a VW like the SVD I could have cranked it up to 15 Watts and that would have devided over the 2 coils at 7.5 watts a piece and it would have been MUCH nicer. But sadly I do not have a VW device yet. So hopefully from that demonstration you understand that it is important to know what Ohms your coil is at so that you can find that 'sweet spot' that you like to vape in.


Now here is a warning! I know a LOT of people say to go with 'low resistance' or 'LR' clearos/cartos. I would be careful though because you can fry some things if you aren't careful. The way to find out if you are within a safe limit is by calculating your Amps. The equation is a lot simpler. (A = AMPS)


V (Volts) ÷ R (Resistance/Ohms) = A


So using the same equation above...


6 ÷ 4.2 = *1.4 AMPS*


Now this is considered "safe". I have been told many things on what is the safe amount of amps to push. But the general rule of thumb is that anything over 2 AMPS is technically 'not good'. I know for a fact that many people go past that limit. As long as you realize that you could burn out your coil and that it is 'potentially dangerous' if you go over that then you should be fine for the most part. The last thing you need to take into account is the "Max current output" of your mod. On the SVD it is 5.0 Amps. So if you have a set up that is pushing more then 5 amps over the coil, then it will limit you down to that 'safe' level. honestly 5 Amps is one of the higher amp limits so you have plenty of room to play with. On the other hand my little eGo-V (most eGos in fact) has a 2.5 amp limit! So if I have a 1.8 Ohm coil I can't even turn my voltage higher then 4.5 without getting limited back down by my device. (4.5(Volts) ÷ 1.8(Ohms/R) = 2.5 Amps)


So I hope this all helped. There are limitations to mods and since the SVD has a relatively wide range you do need to be careful. I personally would never want to push anywhere near 5 amps through a tiny coil. Just my . So keep that in mind. Also you will notice as time goes on that your preferences will start to make a pattern. You will learn the 'sweet spot' that you like to vape certain juices at. It makes things a lot simpler when you can calculate in your head what Ohm coil gives you the best range of options for your preferences.

Thanks for the info! Right now I'm using an evod bat with the evod tank @ 2.2ohms and this Tennessee cured is just tasteless until a few days go by. Almost like the ohms are lowering due to deterioration thus lowering volts. I had the halo battery with their tank at 2.2 and it tasted great! I think a spinner or vv is the way to go to fix this issue.

Yup, an eGo Twist or Vision Spinner is a great way to get your feet wet with VV and it won't break the bank either. JC's Red Oak Tenn. Cured is one of my regular vapes and one I use with a 2.5ohm head at 4.4 volts. Consistently good flavor and solid TH. I get my batteries/chargers/EVods from Alt-Smoke but there are other vendors to choose from. Good luck!
