Confused with volts of batteries paired with ohms of cartomizers

[Boondock_RES]

Still trying to work out all the kinks on my kGo setup.

Found a chart that descibes how volts of a device should be paired with ohms of an atomizer/cartomizer:

However when trying to gather advice on which cartomizer to use on my kGo tank setup, people seem to be contradicting the chart. Hoosier stated that with the kGo "these provide 3.8v under load with 1.5ohm dual coils and over 4.0v under load on 2.0ohm single coil cartomizers." Going off the chart, I should be using a cartomizer that is somewhere between 2.0 to 3.5 ohms. A lot of people are recommending the 1.7 ohm resurrectors. I'm using a 1.6 ohm dual coil carto that came with my DCT setup and having a lot of issues.

Just trying to find some clarity so I can get this thing working correctly and wont be killing my battery or burning cartos.

As always, thanks for the help!

Use this Ohm's Law Calculator .

Example:
I like to vape between 7.5 & 8 watts, knowing that simple fact makes it easy for me to pair any atty/carto with the proper voltage.

Problem with the Kgo is that volatage changes as the battery gets used. It starts at 4.2 and cuts off around 3.4. But something like an Ego is regulated to just the 3.4 volts.

But the Kgo can better deal with lower resistance cartos, like the 1.5's. I pretty much use 1.7's in either and don't have any problems.

I use 1.5 ohm dual coils on my Kgo, works well with most juices, some it's a little hot. thiking about the 1.7's
stephpd, those 1.7 s are they SC or DC?
thanks

The 1.7ohm, which is a single coil (made by Smoktech) will be miles hotter than your 1.5ohm DCC. Your DCC has 3ohm coils in it.

Smoktech 1.7 single coil. Sold by different names but they're the only brand I use. Even using the provari and in a tank it's all I use anymore.
