Knowing Amperage(Amps) is important

[Some1OnThisForum]

i dont think a 275 gallon tank with oil burner electrodes has been done yet...besides you would need a nozzle rated for 3 gph to achieve this, and i doubt that tesla ever used nozzles.


OK, on other note. I think attys would last longer if they just used some sort of "hallow" metal sealed cylinder directly in the center instead of a bridge. Yeah i know the bridge helps absorb the fluids, but if you have a straight sealed cylinder taking up most of the space, and only leaving a tiny tiny bit of space around the diameter of it so liquid can fill the area than you would have any problems with leakage, and the liquid would vape anywhere around it providing maximum vaping!

cylinder within a cylinder. That actually sounds ingenious if you can imagine what im trying to say

id really like to create some sort of super e-cig using those electrodes from the oil burner..like i 300gallon tank attached to it with a hose you place in your mouth. couple of puffs of that, and your probably set for the day in nicotine..either that or your calling 911 LOL

CNNNReport - New Jersey filled with "vapor". Everyone in a 3 block radius buzzed on nicotine. Furnace guy arrested. More at 11:00.

Also, (I was corrected before on this) it doesn't matter if your power supply is capable of 2 amps or 2000 amps. It (the device/atty/load) will only draw what it needs as determined by the resistance and voltage. So, your sig is confusing to me. You're trying to say if your ohms are too low, or volts too high, it will get too hot? The amps are "drawn" as needed, based on the potential difference (voltage) and the resistance, as I understand it now. The issue usually comes in where there is insufficient amps. I agree about the battery life.

I used to think that if you hooked up to a battery the size of a house, the amps would fry the atty. Not so, I'm told. So you either over-volt the atty, or under watt it, but the amps work out, assuming they are sufficient. Someone jump in here and correct me if necessary.........

well, actually in a series circuit, your amperage output will be determined by the difference in number of Volts, and ohms, and amperage will stay the same in every load.
in this case..the atomizer would be the load.

the bigger the difference..the higher amperage will draw no matter what you do...unless of course there is some sort of step down mini transformer inside. I have to see the schematics for it.

This is different in a parallel circuit. in a parallel circuit...the Voltage throughout the circuit remains the same, and amperage varies to each load depending on its resistance. in this case..the atmoizer is still a load, and still has its own resistance and will always draw amperage based on how the total of volts / ohms.

I believe you can burn out a LR atty faster on a 5v mod than you could on a 3.7v. If this isnt true, than Ohms law would be wrong. there has to be some other factor involved that doesnt make it burn out faster if im wrong, and what your saying is it only draws the amperage it needs. this cant be true according to ohms law. a load cant decide how much amperage it wants..it takes whatever it gets

Smaller batteries like say a KR808 will not be able to deliver the same amount of amps a typical 5 volt mod can. These smaller batteries will drop in their output voltage under a load. The lower the resistance of the load, the higher the amperage, and since the small battery can only supply so many amps, it's output voltage will drop. So, in a way, with a current (amperage) limited supply of voltage, the atty sort of does determine how much amperage it gets, based on the battery's maximum amperage rating. The battery is the limiting factor. The harder the draw on the battery, the faster it will completely discharge.

Most 5 volts mods will have current protection because if the maximum load is exceeded, and if that mod has a voltage regulator, a curcuit designed to keep the ouput voltage steady even when under a load , unlike a KR808 battery which would just drop the output voltage, the battery would get damaged, because the amperage would exceed it's abiltiy to deliver. So, a good 5 volt mod would turn itself off. A 3.7 volt unregulated voltage source would simply have it's output voltage go down.

The downside to using a KR808 type battery with low resistance attys is two fold. The battery will have a shorter run time and would have to be recharged more frequently, and it's likely the life of the battery will be shortened as well. The upside is better vaping.

As for me... I just use a great variable voltage PV and 2.5 Ohm or higher cartos. The voltage regulator keeps the supply of amps steady and stable without dropping off until the batteries are completely discharged. You simply change the voltage of the PV to the optimum performance level of the carto (atty) and juice you are vaping. While I still use my 808's, I notice a falloff in performance after X number of draws. With a real LR atty, that number becomes more like X/2. Performance improves, but the battery doesn't last long.
