I'm still always confused by this.. LOL
Not that I've been vaping long - and I have both standard eGo and VV batteries.

What confuses me is LOW v. HIGH. For instance, is 1.8 low and meant for eGo and 3.2 high and meant for VV, or is it vice versa, meaning is the higher the number the lower the... the whatever... LOL

see... toldja I was confused :p

I need to order new coil heads for my VIVI NOVA. What do the different Ohm values do? When I bought the kit it had three different heads.

It depends on your PV and the type of vape you enjoy. Here's a chart to help BUT it is all personal choice:

Generally 1.8 ohms is good for 3.3-4.0 volts
2.4 ohms is good for 4.0- 4.8 volts.
I run 1.8 ohms at 3.7- 4.0 BUT I enjoy a warm vape. LR/ 1.8 ohms will also drain the battery slightly quicker.

You're welcome. It all depends on what you enjoyed with your first set of heads- if you look very closely on the band of metal just above the threads you'll see the ohms stamped into it. May need a magnifying glass. Don't forget you can wash and dry burn them. My heads are lasting 8 weeks and are still going strong except the wick is a little frayed so I toss them. Have you tried washing and dry burning them?

Yes very helpful chart I guess i go with 2.4
Thanks

Yes I have washed and dry burned. I also need new wicks. The ones I got when purchased are very short. Right now I'm on the last of three that I bought back in Dec. so I guess I'm doing real good

You;re doing very well. I like the long wicks much better= better wicking. Don't toss the old heads cuz one day you may get into rebuilding- very easy and less the cost immensely.
