atomizers

[tbaker1010316]

so im wondering im still kinda new to all of this and i was wondering what is the difference between low resistant atomizer and just regular atomizer and high resistant im getting ready to order some and i need to know which one i should chose i have a tornado and i want lot vapor and throat hit any help would b greatly appreciated

That's a long story involving power, voltage, and resistance, and the full explanation involves equations and charts.
Seriously, I'm not trying to be a ......... here, and I'll come back later and post links to both.

But the short answer is you definitely do not want a high resistance atomizer for your tornado.
If you want more vapor and throat hit you very well may like a low resistance atomizer.

Although many will tell you about potential issues using an atomizer with too low a resistance on eGo/Tornado/Riva/Inferno type batteries.

Since I don't have those kinds of batteries I don't get into those discussions.
But someone should come along shortly with more information.

Okay, so here is your link for power, voltage, resistance, and current...
Calculations voltage current resistance and electric power calculator

And here is the power chart for sweet spots related to atomizer resistance...

This might help you out a bit:

What Are These LR and HV Attys?

You DO NOT want to use HV attys on your Tornado and I wouldn't suggest going below 2.0Ohms if you want to try LR attys. The Tornado, eGo, Riva are only 3.4V devices and are only 3.2V under load. They also have MOSFET type switch that can be ruined by using LR atomizers because they can't handle to power produced.

normal slim batteries usually need normal attys

fat battery units with a long battery charge (Ego, Riva, etc) some people like LR attys with those

Then there are high VOLTAGE attys which I think are for vaping mods and stuff in the 5-6v range (higher voltage than normal ecig batteries)

Hey where can I get this chart of power in a much greater quality, can't see nothing with this one, thanks

There are two things you can do...

You can change the zoom level on your browser, which is something I didn't even know about until recently.
I have a little drop down box in the lower right hand corner of my browser that lets me change the zoom from 50% to 400%.

Or you can right click on the picture in my post and save it to your computer.
Then you can open it up on your computer and check it out that way.

I was hoping that chart would turn up here.
Damn I LOVE that chart.
And thats the new and improved version with vibrant colors.
I printed a copy and keep it within arms reach at all times.
I even marched my calculator out to the dumpster, I won't be needing that anymore.
Thanx DC2

Zooming it just makes the quality worse, still can't read, so I turned to google again and finally found it

Smooth move Zurd
Wish I'd thought of that
Thanx for sharing

Low resistance is better all around but they die quicker and may be more taxing on your batteries (they may last only 4 months instead of 6 or more). To alleviate this issue get some regular attys and low resistance attys and swap them out throughout the day and you wont be disappointed. Get some drip tips too for the best vaping experience ;-). As for high resistance they are mainly used on high voltage applications (5v or more) and your tornado is 3.7v or less so you wont be needing them.

 

[Traver]

You aren't limited to LR or HR attys or cartos they come in just about every ohm in between the two.

Low resistance is better all around.

That's definitely a matter of opinion, and there are many of us that hate them.
