Electrical Engineering Degree?

[Anonymous2000]

Am I the only one that feels like they have to go back to school and get an Electrical Engineering degree?

All of this talk about ohms and voltage is very overwhelming for someone who does not understand it.

Can someone explain all of the electrical jargon and why it matters? Or at least give a link where it is already explained?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome! It is important if you want to use the different mods. Other than that the mah kind of tells you how long your battery will last before you need to recharge it. THAT is important!

Rest assured that there are those that do understand this stuff. So stick around and they will do all the work for you.
But this will help;
Ohm's Law Calculator

And this is what that little calculater can do for you

P= Watts
E= Volts
I= Amperage
R= Resistance

So it's just math, engineering skills are not needed.

So P divided by I =ohm?

And if you don't even want to think about that, it usually breaks down into the larger (longer or fatter) battery lasts longer before needing charging. If you get a full starter kit and stick with the replacement parts that came with the kit, you'll be fine.

I don't like to fool with it either and I was a math/science major

Its' easier if you understand the relationship between voltage, resistance and amperage. Think of your kitchen sink where voltage is water pressure, amperage is the amount of water flowing and resistance is the faucet. Increase the resistance (close the faucet) and you decrease the water flow (amperage). Increase the pressure (voltage) and you increase the water flow. Once you understand how the relationship works, the whole thing begins to make sense.

If I increase my faucet I decrease my water flow? Huh?

You are sooo not alone....I can't even seem to order cartomizers because you have to chose a "resistance" 2.4 ohm or 2.8 ohm and I am "degree-ed" too...smh

My fiancee's son is an EE, and I feel like I make a fool of myself by asking silly technical questions about circuits. I'm strongly considering going back to school to study EE. He's entertaining job offers in the 6-figures. He graduates in a few weeks.

No, you increase the resistance (close the faucet). I'll edit it to remove confusion.

You and me both! I am a working mother of 4 and always smoked out of stress...the last I need is more confusion. YES, I want the BEST vapor and the BEST battery life...but I want it CLEAN and EASY.

Hear that suppliers??

So P divided by I =ohm?

P divided by I squared = ohms

 

[DC2]

More power = More heat

More heat = More vapor
More heat = Warmer vapor

More power (Watts) = Less resistance (ohms) and/or more voltage (volts)

Too much power = burnt tasting juice
Too little power = wisps of cooler vapor

This calculator can help you figure out the Power (watts) based on Voltage and Resistance (ohms)...
Ohm's Law Calculator - of which there are many out there

The sweet spot for most people seems to be somewhere between 6 and 8 watts of power.
Many people (me for instance) like even more than 8 watts.

I like to vape at around 10 watts.
But I like tobacco flavors and they tend to hold up better to high wattage.

Here's my equation: Big Battery + a handful of cartos + Juice I like = Satifying Vape + No More Analogs!!! Hats off to all those that work the numbers for they are the innovators, but for me it all boils down to my satisfaction and that's the only equation I need have balance right now. Best of luck to you.
