Dumb Question

[Retriever]

Okay, so I currently use a KR808 as my primary (and only) vape. I am looking for something a bit more in terms of overall experience. The variable voltage mods are compelling to me but I wonder if I need one.

So here is my question: If you were to run a 1.5 Ohm carto with 3.0 volts, would it be the same experience as running a 3.0 Ohm carto at 6.0 volts.

Thanks!

mmmm....not sure bout this. I know there is a chart somewhere that can tell ya bout watts. But if you want a nice hit on 1.5 you should go at least 3.7v. If you got vv you might as well vape it at 5.5-6V with a 3 ohm atty. Much nicer than 1.5 ohm Lr. I just recently bought some cisco 3 ohm and vaping it at 5.5-5.8 and loving it. I no longer use LR atty since switching to VV mod. Used to use 1.5 cisco on 3.7 box mod. That was nice but its not as nice as hi voltage with 3ohm atty.

just noticed the Va location. I'm bout 15 mins away from short pump. I have not seen many vapers around other than a couple at work.

Thanks Animeguy for your response. I'm in Roanoke.

Thanks Animeguy for your response. I'm in Roanoke.

Small world .... we lived in Roanoke close to 40 years ago. It is where our youngest son was born. By the way, I've been using a Silver Bullet at 3.7 volts & LR tank cartomizers. Love it.

Ego has a vv battery, it only has 3 settings so is like a training device, if you like different juices it would be worth checking out, then if you notice a huge difference in the volt/juice combos you could look at upgrading to a Provari or Lava tube or whatever.

for 1.5 to 1.7 ohm resistance you can get a 5 volt vaping experience on a 3.7 volt mod. I don't know if its the same as a 3.0 resistance on 6 volt. I've been happy with 3.7 volt and 1.7 Resurrectors.

1.5 ohm atty on a 3 volt battery (Where do you get a 3 volt battery?) is going to hit at approximately 6 watts, which is weak for what most people like. (This is approximate- batteries don't really fire at the voltage they are labeled at too often.) You calculate by using volts x volts/ohms.

A 3 ohm atty on a 6 volt device (again, assuming that your 6 volt device is really 6 volts exactly, which most aren't) will deliver 12 watts. A MUCH more powerful vape. Too strong for a lot of vapers, but depends on how you like it.

Most people go somewhere in between. I've got a 1.5 ohm atty on a 3.7 volt mod right now. (Actual voltage around 4.2 volts off the charger, 3.6 volts when I no longer want to vape it.) Call it four volts, gives me around 10 watts. Just about perfect.

Best,

I have noticed a diffrence on vapor quality going from 2.0 ohm at 3.4v and 3.0 ohm at 4.4-5. Litecigusa.net sells the vv ego battery. It will give you a good indicator if vv os your thing or not.

Thanks Ande and Tersur! I appreciate your responses. I started this whole thread just to see if vv really made a difference - and now I see that it indeed does. I guess I'll probably get one sometime, and if I still want to vape at 3.7 I can do that too.

Thanks again!

For what it's worth, I don't actually vape anything VV- too many electronics are easy to break and hard to fix or get fixed.

But changing voltages (I use different devices and different battery combos to do this) makes a real difference to the vape.

It may help to think of all your gear in terms of power (measured in watts). Voltage(volts) squared over resistance (ohms) is how I was taught to calculate that.

THe thing about VV is- it's great if you use a lot of different kinds of atties, cartos, and what have you.

If you use mostly the same thing (I vape LR 510 atties almost all the time) there's really not much need for it.

Best,
Ande

Is this the chart you are referring to?
