Difference between 1.8 and 2.4 Resistance?

[lmkucala]

Still trying to order my Spinner/Twist Ego VV tank Combo - yes I'll get it ordered sometime today/tonight

I am ordering extra atomizer heads, and it gives me a choice of 1.8 and 2.4. (I'm getting one Kanger EVOD and one mini-Protank).

I don't care about the technical details (too much). Just want to better understand what it really means to my vaping experience please!

Thanks
Lisa

Simplest terms... Higher the number the longer it takes to heat the coil and vaporize the liquid. For the gear you have listed, I had a very similar setup. I like the 1.8 ohms better. This can all change with different batteries, and such though. Also be aware, the new coils you get will rarely all be the stated resistance. Most often they will be higher or lower then stated. That's why many of us choose to rebuild our own. I haven't yet, but I am about to as I am running down my stockpile of stock heads.

1.8 ohm at 4.2 v will be 10 watts and pull 2.3 amps from battery,.. 2.5 @ 5 v will be 10 watts and pull 2 amps from the battery providing the same vape but with longer battery life. The 1.8 will allow you to get up to 11 watts at 4.5 and max out the amp limit on the battery @ 2.5 amps.

The whole point in using a vv/twist/spinner type battery is that "variable" voltage allows you to adjust the power up/ down to find your sweet spot using a variety of different resistance coil/heads.

Try a couple of each to see what works best for you.

lower numbers burn hotter faster.
you should be fine.

with your spinner, you can raise the voltage to get your coil to burn hotter faster, or lower to burn slower to a less high top temperature.

this adjusts your flavor, sometimes coil life, and maintenance requirements (cleaning the coil or changing the wick).

Of course, if you vape more than less, you cycle through more juice which may affect the need to clean or change coils/wicks/heads.

Thanks so much for all the help! You guys are awesome!

Lower ohms, warmer vapor.

Higher ohms, cooler vapor.

go fpr 2 or higher, you can play around with vv to find where you like it. Middle ground will do you good to test the juice (depending on viscosity)

Good point. I like 1,6-1,8 ohm and of course I use 0,6-1,0 ohm with mec mod.

1,8 ohm is good @lmkucala if you like warmer vapor and wanna use low watts

 

[lmkucala]

Well - I ordered 2 of each (plus I think I get a couple with the mini Protank?) so I should be able to play around with them and see what works. Thanks!

The question that should be asked to experienced rebuilders is which coil gives you better vape? There are lots of combinations that would produce the same resistance. Examples: more wraps using a thicker wire or less wraps using thinner wire. Which do you prefer? Does a thicker wire drains the battery faster than the thinner one? Assuming both are set up at the same resistance. (I don't have much experience yet, that's why I want to know myself.)
