Finding out what you like, through an accidental experiment I found I like higher resistance cooler vape

[RavenTai]

I have been using my eGo-C for about a month, I found Highbrow vapors and liked their juices in my C attys, but the C attys gave me troubles, they would often give dry hits, especially with higher VG juices, so I would prime puff and that would work for a while but then I then go overboard with the priming and flood them, both dry atomizers and flooded atomizers have poor flavor. also the atomizers would get clogged and vapor would taper off, boiling them would help them along for a while but eventually they were useless, after a month I have two usable atomizers remaining and they are getting there.


last Tuesday in the mail I got in a box of 5: 2.4 to 2.6 ohm bottom coil CE3 XL's, (AKA Phoenix) I loaded 4 of them with various of my flavors on hand and they give loads more vapor than my ego C, what took a long slow 5 second draw on a "C" can be achieved in 2 seconds or less, but the taste is less, some of them almost taste over cooked and one flavor I was looking forward to in the new setup, Highbrow RY4 (therefore one atomizer) in particular tasted horribly burnt, to the point of being un vapable, this particular atomizer would sizzle for a bit even after the button was released, I found I could get closer to the flavor I wanted by prime puffing (more fluid cools the coil) , or pulsing the button on and off during a draw, again for me at least cooler coil temperature = better flavor

I got out my Fluke multimeter and found that the resistance of these varies, and the juice burning one is 1.5 Ohms after subtracting lead resistance , took out the syringe and removed the juice and loaded that very same juice from the burning atomizer into my last empty CE Xl taste is much better.

LR 1.5 Ohm attomizers on APV's are all the buzz on this forum and therefore I figured that is the direction I would eventually be heading but alas there is no accounting for taste. my taste is for higher resistance cooler vape. even on the supposedly wimpy 3.4V volt eGo.

I like the bottom coil CE3 XL but I am glad I only got one box of the 2.4-2.6 ohm, next I will try the higher resistance version. I have a variable voltage power supply on the way looking forward to dialing in the flavor that I like.

Quite a few of us here at ECF have experimented with either voltage or atomizing device resistance in search of the "perfect" vapor qualities.

I use an E-Power 14650. This APV is essentially a single voltage PV regulated at 3.7V. If you use single coil cartos on these you vary the resistance of cartomizers to achieve a wide range of vapor adjustment.

If I was running a mechanical mod with unregulated voltage then the vapor quality produced by the carto would vary widely as the battery drains down.

I have tried single coil cartos in several resistances between 1.7 ohms and 2.5 ohms on the regulated 3.7V APV. I liked 1.7 ohm for a while but have settled on 2.0 ohms for the last several months. The vapor from 1.7 ohm is just too warm for my taste and my juice selection most of the time.

If you have a regulated single voltage APV that runs higher voltage: say 5V then you would probably want to explore a higher resistance range with single coil cartos centered around 3.0 ohms. Or, with the higher voltage you could also try LR dual coil cartos.

Now, if you have a variable voltage APV you can experiment with both voltage and atomizer device resistance in search of that perfect vapor.

With all of the choices available in APVs you have a variety of voltages/atomizer devices to choose from. Some offer more variety than others but if a more simple device delivers the vapor you want then that's all you will ever need.

Yup, vaping isn’t a one size fits all prospect.
Some like huge throat hit and scalding vapor, others like cooler vapor and less throat hit.
That’s one reason I’m loving my introduction to variable voltage so that I can dial in the perfect vape for my taste.
