Does vaping above 3.7V kill cartomizers quickly?

[kblush]

Hi! I don't know much at all about variable voltage mods and I'd like to look into finding out more about them but before I get interested I want to know how long cartomizers last when vaping above 3.7v. Any info. or tips you could share is appreciated! Thank you! I want to read the following thread, it sounds interesting! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...e-wanted-know-plus-bit-electronic-theory.html

No vaping at higher voltages won't kill them faster, it's about matching the right ohm to the right voltage, if you go to high with the voltage with to low of an ohm carto it can cause it to heat up to much, burn or not last as long.

You will go through more juice at higher voltages but if you keep them wet they will last.

Here's a calculator that might help it make more since. Just enter the voltage and ohm and hit calculate, what your looking for in the end is wattage. I find my preference is usually around the 7.5 - 8 watt range.

As long as the coil is kept wet it shouldn't matter much, Think of boiling water in a paper cup on a flame. As long as there is water in the cup the paper won't burn. With cartomizers the higher the voltage the more power or watts are being delivered to the carto. Meaning that more juice is being vaporized. So the carto may not last as long or burn out because it can't wick fast enough.
What matters most is not the voltage by itself but the power being delivered to the carto.
Low ohm carto = more power or watts
more volts = more power or watts

Thank you for explaining that to me! I never really considered it being all about matching the voltage with the right ohm cartomizer!! Thank you for sharing the cool calculator too!

Traver - Thank you so much for the great info!!! I really liked the paper cup analogy too!!
