Bottom coil question

[Frenchfry1942]

Okay, somehow I got 2.2ohm and 2.4ohm coils for my PT2. Outside of monitoring the volt output to match the resistance, is there any difference in usage?


I know that there is not much difference in the ohm rating but what if they were 1.8 and 3.0? Is there a difference in flavor or hit?

Thanks,
Jere

Usage is the same but the experience may be different - which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The lower the resistance the hotter they get at lower voltage, and faster. Some times people call that "throat hit" other times it's just a hot harsh and nasty experience. At least with the 2.2 and 2.4 ohm coils you can adjust your voltage up - or down - to find your sweet spot for any given liquid. With the 1.8 ohm coils even 3.2 volts can be too much and there is no room to adjust the voltage any lower. I don't like the Kangers at 1.8 ohms, there is just no "bottom" to adjust the voltage down, especially when a coil is all clean and new.

i don't have any experience with 2 .4's or 3.0's, but i run 1.8's and 2.2's exclusively in my pt2

i run my 1.8 at about 7watts, or 3.6ish volts.

2.2 i bump it up to 10ish watts.

as far as difference between the two the 1.8 for sure has a noticeable warmer vape and gives me an overall harder throat hit in my opinion. it's gonna boil down to the juice though.. there are certain juices that just downright taste horrible with my 1.8's and others that taste fantastic. just takes some trial and error to find out which ones lol.

Same E-liquid
Same Tank system
Same power system
1.8ohm ans 2.2ohm

If running Watts, and you Must jump from 7w to 10w, something is Wrong. There should be no need to adjust more than a few 10ths to possibly compensate for wicking differences or coil wire thickness(Heat up time). However 2.2ohm coils normally have same or thinner wire ga. which results in FASTER heat up at comparable output.
