Can someone explain LR attys?

I don't really understand what the difference is between a regular atty and an LR atty. I know it means its low resistance but what is so special about them? I have an ego coming soon and wanted to see if it was something I might want to add.

I am currently smoking a joye 510 and it is nice but vapor production is a bit weird for me. While I am at my house, I am currently dripping 3 drops of apple onto it and using a cart with no filter inside. Here is the issue. I have tried 2 drops and 3 drops and either way, my first 4 or 5 hits doesn't produce a lot of vapor but has really good flavor. The last several hits before having to drip again produce a ton more vapor but there is little flavor coming through at that point.

10watts is about the sweet spot. You find that by going with the ohm(of the atty) and the voltage of the battery.

Calculations voltage current resistance and electric power - electricity calculation - electrical power formula general ohms law physics formula wheel formulas amps watts volts ohms cosine equation audio engineering pie chart charge audio engineering

You only have to put in ohm and voltage in this....normal attys are 2.5 ohm and 3.7v ....LR atty is 1.5ohm.

So your pumping more power into the atty, what exactly does this do to the juice? I assume the atty is going to run hotter due to the upped wattage. I can also assume this is going to burn your juice at a faster rate and if so, how much faster and how much more juice are we talking? Will this also cause the atty to have a shorter life?

One can talk endlessly about LR atty's.

JUST TRY ONE. They're only a few dollars.

Personally, I won't use anything else any more.

I had my Ego for a long time before I tried a LR atty. I didn't see the need because of how much vapor and flavor I was receiving.

Now I got a LR about 2 weeks ago and I will never go back. It fires up so fast and produces so much more vapor. The flavors are even better. I'm a dripper and if I flood it doesn't even matter anymore. The LR atty rips through it like its nothing.

I love it.

You do use a little more juice and your batterys do die a little sooner but its all worth it.
