Ohms should actually be the resistance of your coil head, not the battery. The higher the ohms, the more volts you will need for a good throat hit, you can either vape by volts or by watts. It can not be both as watts are really a calculation that uses your ohms and volts together. I think it's the ohms squared divided by the volts, which equals total wattage. Your device should remember the last setting you used for watts, or remember the last one you used for volts., but they are two separate settings that you can choose from. Variable volts is like driving a stick shift. You would need to set the volts higher for a higher resistance coil, and lower for low resistance. Using the watts setting is like driving an automatic,. You set the watts you like, and even if you switch coils or clearos that have a different ohm reading, your device will automatically adjust the volts it sends so that the watts are what you set it for. No adjusting of the volts needed by you. Trying vaping at a lower setting, either by volts or watts, and keep moving up until you get a hit you like. If you switch a coil or clearo and you are in volts, adjustment may be needed again to find your sweet spot. If you are in wattage mode, you should get the same hit you left it at.

I think I have a different kit than what you are thinking of?


This is the battery I have, although my tank is different:Torpedo V2 Variable Voltage E-Cig Kit - Intermediate Kits - Kits

With this battery they told me I can adjust both volts and watts for my liking of a hit... Am I not right though? I usually run like 3.6 to 4.0 volts and about 6 to 8 watts. I am confused..

Yes, you can adjust it and there is no right or wrong setting. I'd suggest you start low and increase the setting until YOU like it best. If the juice you are using starts to taste burnt then back it down a bit and you should be fine. Best of luck to you in finding what works best for you!

Watts and volts are different. You will set one or the other not both.

You have the ecig I'm talking about. You can vape in either variable volts or variable watts with the same ecig. I'm trying to explain ohms law, and how a variable wattage device like yours offers you a choice to either vape by variable watts, or by variable volts. Hmm... How to explain this... Watts are a calculation of ohms (the resistance of your coil) AND volts. It combines the two for you. For example, if your coil is 3 ohms, and the volts you select in variable volt mode is 4.9, that means you are vaping at a total of 8 watts. Basically, it's 4.9 volts x4.9 volts divided by 3ohms equals 8 watts ((4.9x4.9)/3 = 8). You can choose to vape in voltage mode, and change the volts in the calculation above if the ohms of a new coil is different, or you can vape in wattage mode. This means, by switching to watts on your device, and selecting 8 watts, if you change the coil head to a different ohms number, it'll adjust volts by itself to get to 8 watts. Example is if your new coil is 2 ohms, and you already have your device set to 8 watts, it'll change the volts by itself to 4 volts. 4x4/2 = 8 In either mode, all that changes is essentially volts, but if you are vaping via watts instead of volts you do not have to press a bunch of buttons if you so happen to change the ohms of your coil. Your device essentially does the math for you.

So if I switch to volts mode, I can run between 3.3-5.0 volts and wattage does not run. And if I run wattage then the volts does not run correct. I have always set both things like 3.3-5.0 volts, and between 6.0-8.0 watts because I thought you had to set them both.

Another question I have is: When I hold the - and + button together it gives me a number which is 2.3. This is the ohms of my coil correct? And what is amps? Sorry I am very new to vaping and am learning that there is alot more to it then I thought. LOL.

Well I am still fairly new to the E-cig generation. I think I am possibly allergic to PG but I am not 100 percent sure. I can't smoke the current juice I have now. But I will have some money right after christmas and I am thinking of trying blu e-cigs. I was reading on their website and they claimed to be PG free! I am really excited about this, although I don't even know if PG is what I am allergic to, or if I am allergic to vaping in general. I am in a learning curve with e-cigs right now and its very hard haha.

My main question is what is the best e-cigs out? I am looking for something that looks like a real ciggerette (Such as the look of the dispoables / the blu c-cig for example. I like those kind because they are small and nice looking as well. Especially the blu E cigs. I need your opinions! :toast:

- I have heard Green Smoke is good, Panda, Blu seems to be really good as well. What are your suggestions I am really excited to try a new brand. Specifically something that has really A+ reviews and dominating the market in sales. No PG please if you know any without the PG those are the ones for me, as I am trying to figure out which E-cigs are best for me. I am in a trial and error kind of a mood with e-cigs.

:toast:

I haven't read this whole thread so this might have been said. I have used Blu & it was ok. The battery was not powerful enough for me though so that's something you might want to think about (I do like cigalikes & it was not powerful enough even compared to certain other cigalikes). If you are set on this brand I would suggest the Blu Premium 100s kit as it has a more powerful battery & you might be very happy with it. The charging case is also nice, but mine broke after a year so that's not really a long time imo but ymmv though.

My personal preference for a cigalike is the eroll. The battery on this device is pretty powerful for its size. The charging pack is nice looking. The set up works a bit differently than other cigalikes in that you take a drag off your device & put it back so it can charge again right away, rather than using it until it's fully discharged & then recharging. The downside of this device is the tanks are quite small so you have to have extras with you which is sort of a hassle compared to a set up like Blu where you can carry 5 cartos in the case. But for me it's worth the inconvenience for the performance.

My 2 cents Blu is not worth the money. I actually have one of their kits. The charger pack died 10 days in. Personally I think their flavors are awful. Every one I tried is a heavy tobacco with a light something else over it. Not my cup of tea.

It's funny, I never once got "tobacco" from Blu, and i tried their bold and menthol. The bold to me is hazelnut capuchino - it's actually not bad if you put the carto on a spinner, and crank it up!

My only issue with Blu is, their cost is ridiculous, their batteries are garbage, and they're owned by Big Tobacco, I don't trust them to not be tweaking the liquid to add the bad stuff they put in cigarettes.

If I found myself having to buy one of their disposable in an emergency, it would be fine, but other than that, no thanks, wasted enough money on them!

Hi. Your device can run with you setting volts OR watts. When you hit the fire button it will be using the last setting you set. So, if you set your battery to 4.0 volts and then to 8 watts, when you hit the fire button it will give you and 8 watt vape (the volts are calculated by the ohms of your topper and the wattage you chose).

If you set your watts to 8 and then set the volts to 4.0, when you hit the fire button you will get a vape at 4.0 volts.

YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE OR THE OTHER AT A TIME - NOT BOTH. The last thing you set is what you get when you hit the fire button.

Does this clear that up for you?

So if I switch to volts mode, I can run between 3.3-5.0 volts and wattage does not run. And if I run wattage then the volts does not run correct. I have always set both things like 3.3-5.0 volts, and between 6.0-8.0 watts because I thought you had to set them both.

Holding both buttons together will give you the ohms of your attached topper, so in your example the 2.3 is the ohms.

I agree with the others who say if you have to get a cig alike get a smokeless image volt. I got a kit last year. It was kinda pricey - around 80 usd for 2 batts and some cartridges but they're the best rechargeable cig size batteries I've tried. Except for the frequent recharging, they actually work pretty decently.

I also agree to skip it if you can because I never use my volts. They just don't perform as well as larger devices.

If you have to have a cig-alike, then i recommend the Volt from SmokelessImage. I suggest getting the Pro kit so you get the extra charge-on-the-go ability with the PCC. Use the code VOLTSAVE for 16% off. Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette

Otherwise, if you feel that you could use something a little larger, I suggest a Kanger EVOD kit. There is a 3.7V regulated kit, and there is also a variable voltage kit, which is what I would personally go with.
Regular - ElectronicStix.Com · Kanger EVOD 650mAh Starter Kit
VV - Kanger Mini Protank 2 Starter Kit -VV

For 100% VG juices, i suggest checking out Heather's Heavenly Vapes for great flavors at great prices. Custom E-Liquids : Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Top Quality Custom E-Liquids

Is the juice in the smokeless image 100% VG, that is what I have been vaping. I don't think I can smoke PG. I have moved to VG to see if that is going to work for me. I can't find anywhere on smokeless images website about the ingredients in the cartomizers.

Kind of. I mean so like if I switch to watts, regardless of what volts are set on, it will only run what my watts are set at right? So if I have my watts set to 8 then it don't matter AT ALL what my volts are at? My Volts could be at 5.0 and it wouldn't matter because if it is set to 8 watts, my battery auto calculates everything and nothing with the volts matters correct? And the same is with the Volts right. Say I am using Volts, then I could have my Watts at 10 and it wouldn't matter because I am in Volts mode correct?

Best E cig setup on the market IN MY OPINION is a Provari with Standard resistance Boge cartos in an Ibtanked setup with Virgin vapor 100% vg base @12 mg nicotine.

Thaaats not cheap though, If you want something that looks like a cigarette, I would consider some of Joyetechs 510 setups.

Go 100% vg from virgin vapor though. They dilute it or something so its not like syrup (mt baker's 100% vg is super thick and hard on elements) so it wicks good and it tastes incredible
