cheap joyetech atty to test liquids

[hexagondun]

Hello everyone,

bought a cheap joyetech 510 atty at a not-so-local brick and mortar yesterday so that I might use it to test eliquids before filling one of my vivinovas. Wondering what its resistance is-- doesn't say on the atomizer and not, as far as I see, on the joyetech's website either... what voltage should I set my ego-c twist to when using that atomizer? thanks much in advance.

If you aren't sure of the resistance, set it low say 3.4-3.7ish.

Start low and turn it up if you need to.

If you have a multi-meter you can check the resistance yourself.

I think you meant to say volts. But watts is the actual thing to get. Between 4-8 watts. here is a chart that will help you dial in the best vape for the combo of volts and ohms. also a Xl spread sheet that will do the calc for you.

Ten words. LOL

I measured a bunch of them the other day. They're 3.7 ohm (standard version). You can also get a low resistance atty but I don't have any.

Nope, I meant volts.

That chart or one like it has been around for a while, but it's never been right for me, and since the OP was asking what voltage to set his Twist at, since he didn't know the resistance of the atomizer, I was giving a voltage to start at.

3.7 ohms really? Wow, didnt know that.

You can tests these with a multimeter correct? Center post for + and threads for - ?

Yes, that's correct. That's how you test the rebuildable attys so you don't mess up your device and it works for factory built just as well.

a SR joye atty is approx 2.3 (mines 2.2) ohms. a LR joye atty is approx 1.5ohms.

then theres the high voltage joye thats 4.3ohms.

i dont know where the 3.7ohms is coming from. 3.7 is the *voltage* youd want to vape the LR atty at. but ive never heard of a 3.7ohm joye atty.

its possible that your atty is 2.7ohms (?) maybe you forgot to subtract the leads' resistance (which is typically 1)?

Yup, they're 2.7 ohms. Typo ... I subtracted the leads then wrote the wrong thing in the message. D'oh!
