Help! Ohm, watts, amps help me!

Ok sweet thankyou

Volts Divided by Ohm's equals Amps...

3.6 Volts Divided by 0.4 Ohms Equals 9 Amps
3.6 Volts Divided by 0.3 Ohms Equals 12 Amps
3.6 Volts Divided by 0.2 Ohms Equals 18 Amps
3.6 Volts Divided by 0.1 Ohms Equals 36 Amps
3.6 Volts Divided by 0.05 Ohms Equals 72 Amps

See how quickly it starts multiplying at lower ohm's? That right there is why we need to be careful, drawing 72 amps off of a 20amp rated battery will be pretty damn close to a dead short...

I never go lower than .3 for safety reasons...

I just really need to know what the max amp is

What device/battery do you have?

 

[nathan.olson]

E leaf istick 20w
I was trying to look up for the battery name but I didn't get anything, someone said it was 5.5 but they weren't sure

If I were you I'd stick around 1.2ohms at 19 watts for decent performance.

As someone else stated the Eleaf 20w will fire down to 1 ohm I believe it was. It will not fire if you put too low of an ohm device on it. since it is an internal battery and a regulated device the amps is irrelevant on it.
Devices that have replaceable batteries is where you have to be sure to get the right battery that will handle the amps your atomizer will require.

Ok thank you so much

Steam Engine is your best friend for building. Helps calculate wire wraps, ohms law, battery drain, mod range, etc... Be sure to check it out, it is a VERY helpful tool

My understanding before this was that watts and volts were how much power being put on the coil just in different ways to read. Is that correct?

Watts are volts x amperes. They are not the same. Now that said, as amperes are typically constant on a DC devices, any variance in wattage will be a result of a variance in voltage.

So if you're running a VV/VW mod, they will be somewhat interchangeable.

Download the app called "Ohm's Law" from the App Store. You provide two variables and it calculates the rest. Before firing any coil, make sure to throw the build on an ohm meter prior. Be safe!

Could not agree more or say it better.

Turning your mod into a pipe bomb Is never s good thing.
