Difference in ohms

[msmarti58]

Okay, I am a relatively new vaper. I started out with White Clouds (hate). Then I ordered Luci's, as I knew my friend had had them and they tasted good. Both of these - very little vapor, so I gave them to my friend. Then went to V2 and Green Smoke. Love both, but can't vape straight PG, so had to bump myself down to 5 mg on those. Bought an e Go tank, love, and have some clearomizers for it, which I love. Experimenting with e juices. This is as far as I have gotten. Don't understand all these ohms and why I need more (been watching a lot of You Tube videos). What is the difference? What are mods and what are the pros and cons? I am only a moderate, if that, smoker. While I do love plumes of vapor, I don't need a throat hit or any of that. I am interested mostly in the taste, and the highest I typically vape is 6 mg, at least with the straight PG. I did buy a Blu disposable, which is 24 mg, and do like it a lot, and don't get the bitter taste and tongue ulcers I was getting with 100% PG. I find I do best with a mixture.

Anyway, if someone can clue me in, this would be great!

Ohms are a measurement of resistance.. The lower the Ohms, the less resistance there is.

"LR" or Low Resistance attys (and cartos), typically have 1.5-1.9 ohms, while standard attys have 2.2-2.7 ohms.

The lower the resistance, the more power the atty takes from the battery, and the more heat it will produce. A 1.5 ohm atty on your ego, will have roughly the same heat, and power as a standard atty on a 5 volt mod. Some people love LRs, others dont like them, its all a matter of personal preference.

You said you're looking for the best flavor, while TH isnt of much interest to you.. I may suggest getting a couple of LR cartos, or attys, and trying them on your eGo.. See if its something you like.. Generally a LR will give your more vapor, and more TH, but may change the flavor of some juices.

LR attys (and cartos), since they use more power, will run down a battery faster than a regular atty (or carto)

HV (or High Voltage) attys and cartos are higher resistance, and are typically used at the 5-7 volt range.

Hope this helps, and Happy vaping!

The lower the ohms, the hotter it burns and goes through battery power faster and juice. The higher the ohms, the cooler the vapor is and the battery will last longer.
