Cartos ohms???

[Joeseff]

Im going to order some cartos for my riva 510, i was just wondering what the differant ohms reading means, on LF theres boge cartos 2ohms and 3ohms????

What does this mean?

Thanks Joe

The ohm is defined as a resistance between two points of a conductor. In cartos you have a atty and cart in one the resistance (Ω) of the atty will determine the flavor and vapor. LR attys (or cartos) should never be used on a PV less than 3.7v. Your safe to use one with your Riva.

Riva can use either the standard resistance 3.0 or the low resistance 2.0. Low resistance uses battery charge faster and run hotter for a hotter hit. You might want to get a plastic or delrin drip tip to use as a mouthpiece in a hot carto. You may also see HV cartos and those are higher resistance than standard and meant for high voltage models.

Slim 510's can only use standard resistance (LR stuff can kill the slim batteries)

ahhh i see, ill just get the 3 ohm version then im not to keen on the LR

Thanks for the advice

The ohm rating is the resistance. Higher ohms will give a cooler vape and lower will be a warmer vape.

I've used Boge 3.0ohm Cartos on the Riva/Ego batts and it wasn't a very good. Way to cool, almost like sucking on a dead battery. 2.0 works much better with the Riva/Ego and Boge Cartos. You need higher voltage for a good vape at 3ohms. I find the 3.0 Boge Cartos really start to shine around 4.5v and up.

The Riva puts out right at 3.5v when you calculate that with the ohms the result is watts which heats the atomizer. Once you figure the general area in the watt range you prefer it gets much easier. Most people consider around 8 watts to be the sweet spot. Me I'm a little below that.

You can play around with this calculator and it makes it easy to understand. Just enter the voltage and resistance(ohms) and it does the rest.
