    Basically anything below 2.5 ohms is considered low resistance (LR), and when combined with a lower voltage (3.4-3.7v) mimics vaping with a higher voltage (4.5-6v) with a standard resistance (SR) above 2.5 ohms.

    Here is a simple little calculate to help you out Ohm's Law Calculator | V=IxR The key is to determine the wattage you like to vape at. Once you know that, it's easy to match voltage to resistance for that wattage.

    i said baby talk, im a ......!

    what would the vape quality be with a 1.6 compared to a 2.1?

    Don't worry, we won't change your user name to ......o :lol:

    1.6 ohms would be a little warmer than 2.1.
    In the real world, SmokTech makes a very nice 1.7 ohm carto, and Boge makes a nice 2 ohm carto. Try both, you will have to decide for yourself which you like best. Personally, I like and use both.

    Once upon a time, there was a little vaper named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

    At the table in the kitchen, there were three atomizers. The first was labeled 1.5 Ohms. Goldilocks took out her 3.7 volt battery and vaped the liquid from the first atomizer.

    "This vape is too hot!" she exclaimed.

    So, she vaped the liquid from the second atomizer that was labeled 3.5 Ohms.

    "This vape is too cold," she said

    So, she vaped from the last atomizer that read 2.0 Ohms.

    "Ahhh, this vape is just right," she said happily and she vaped it it all up.

    The easy way to think about this is....

    Given the SAME battery voltage... you get a hotter coil with lower resistance. This creates more vapor. There is a threshold though. Too hot and you will burn the liquid/wick and/or break the coil itself like a popped light bulb.

    Some people like to use larger batteries. More available power, less charging and a few more reasons. Doing so will destroy a low resistance element unless they have the ability to turn down the voltage.
