For the Evod it's 2.4. You can do a little higher or lower but you'll just end up adjusting your VV to produce the same results so what's the point? You're going to get a burnt taste at really low ohms and / or high volts. I see videos all the time of people talking about how they are using 1.8 coils at 4.5V and I just shake my head. I have yet to be able to use either my Evod, Protank or Protank minis at anything higher than 4.1V and with a 1.8ohm coil you'll probably be vaping 3.3V. This happens without fail for me.

if you have a Kanger ego batt it's regulated at 3.7v

most other egos put out 3.4 (+/-)

I like to stay in the 1.8Ω - 2.2Ω ballpark for non-variable volt ego batteries

This is your best bet right here. If you're using a non-adjustable battery, you'll most likely want the lower resistance coils. They heat up a bit faster and will generally give you a better vape. As always, it's up to personal preference. You may or may not like the warmer vapor that lower resistance will provide you with.

u need to consider wire gauge..I use 28awg.which gives less heat than 30/32awg..for 30/32..best not to go below 1.6ohm I rebuild my 28awg kanthal with micro coil 8 wraps at 1.4-1/5ohm..with cotton..cooler vape with Mount Olympus clouds and deep flavour.

For Protank, I use mech mod or APVs with larger batteries... I build 13 wraps of nano coil with tight cotton.or if you use a looser wick then just add thin flavour wick...flavour/vapour is 'sick as titssssa', just follow this guide and you won't go wrong:


If you keep using 32awg without trying out lower gauge and rebuilding micro/nano coils..u don't know what you've been missing.

I am not using variable voltage. Im confused. I thought at lower voltage like a standard ego battery you would use lower resistance.

It really depends on what kind of battery you have. Classic eGos (made by Joyetech) are regulated at ~3.3-3.4v. If that's what you have, I recommend a 1.8Ω atomizer. 1.5Ω would be OK too.

If you have any of the newer, unregulated, eGo-class battery, they go from 4.2v fresh off the charger (briefly), then settle at 3.7v for most of the journey before finally reaching their cutoff point somewhere around 3.2 volts or so. So you're dealing with 3.7v--I like 2.0-2.2Ω on that voltage. 2.5Ω is in my opinion too high, especially since most Kanger coils run a bit higher (+0.1-0.2Ω) than advertised.

My girlfriend is running a 1.8 (which reads 1.9 on my MVP) and it works well. I had a 1.5 on my Protank and a eGo-T battery and I found the 1.5 didn't work as well as the 1.8. May have just been my taste or a messed up coil. Experiment. Get one of each. They tend to vary resistances from what they're supposed to be.

The problem as others should point, an standard 1.5 coil with unregulated ego would probably end in burning taste, as egos run at 3.7 volts. Mostly cheap and unmarked coils run from 2.2 to 3.5 ohms, which is suitable for standard 3.7 volts ego batteries.

I got "generic" kanger coils ranging from 2.2 to 3.4 ohms... it sucks to not have reliable local dealers here in brazil, and every international shopping i do takes 1-2 months to arrive. Anyway, i think having an VV ego is cheap, almost cheap as an unregulated one, and experience is much better IMO.

I agree. Variable voltage has been a game changer for vapers. We longer have to worry about matching our atties' resistance to our batteries with set voltages. Also, bear in mind that the resistance of any given atomizer changes over time--it can go up or down--due to stress and crud buildup. With vv, one can tweak the wattage accordingly.
