Attys, cartos, voltages, ohms and Volts?????

[mudboy]

Alrighht, I understand the basics such as figuring out Watts and I have a Fluke Multi Meter here at work that was recently calibrated that I'm using. I'm curious to why a lower "wattage" was frying juice compared to a lower Wattage. Well here it goes.
I currently recieved my TW SD MKII and have been experimenting with that and my old ego to figure out wheres perfect for me. I have been using a mix of cartomizers and attys with FSUSA Win/Ston and Dekang Flue Cured. Originally I was using a knock off EGO battery which held about 3.2 V and had that hooked to a 2.5 Ohm Cartomizer which gave me an OK vape but left alot to be desired(3.657Watts). Next I orded my Screwdriver from Totally Wicked which i was originially using with a 2.4 Ohm 510 atty going to a freshly charded battery reading at 4.15V, This is an awesome place for me at 7.176 Watts. Last night I got my 2ohm 510 cartos in and only had available a half drained battery at 3.44V, this put me at 5.917 Watts and fried the heck out of my liquid leaving it flavorless but with a still decent TH and Vapor cloud. So in the short

3.2 Volt battery with 2.5 Ohm carto (3.657 Watts) Didn't cut it for me at all
3.44 Volt battery with 2 ohm Carto (5.917 Watts) Fried my juice (both brands)
4.15 Volt battery with 2.4 ohm atty (7.176 Watts) what i beleive to be vapor heaven

Why would the lower wattage carto setup fry my juice and the higher wattage atty put out perfect clouds?

It's just the effect of that particular carto - assuming you're talking about exactly the same liquid for all three cases.

But, if the liquid was different, then the effect is different. The 3 factors of watts, system (510, 801 or whatever), and liquid each give a variable. Change any one and you get a different result. Ex: chocolate is good on a 510 at 8 or 10 watts, on a 510 at 4 watts forget it. Many fruits / light flavors are good at 4 or 5 watts, at 10 watts they are burnt out. Put any of these in an 801 or carto and you get another result.

I think rolygate is probably correct about the idiosyncrasies (beyond ohms resistance) of attys and cartos, as well as differences in e-liquids. Also...

Either increasing battery voltage or decreasing atomizer resistance will increase the watts (i.e., the power or intensity of the vape) and the amps (i.e., the current that fries attys and e-liquid). However, to achieve the same watts, reducing atomizer resistance jacks up the amps more than increasing the voltage.

Your 3.44 Volt battery with 2 ohm Carto puts out 1.7 amps. Your 4.15 Volt battery with 2.4 ohm atty puts out the same 1.7 amps, while delivering more watts.

BTW, I let the Internet do the math for me with this Ohms Law calculator.
