Lets talk about ohms

[SharonMM]

Ok, ohms. Here's what I presume to know about ohms: They are pertaining to how much resistance you must use to produce vapor, and you must make sure your ohms are in range for the voltage of your PV. Too much ohms will burn out your vaporizer device and too little ohms will not vaporize your juice. Basically, the higher voltage/wattage means you must also increase your ohms.

Did I pass the quiz lol?

Not... really. Yes, ohm's is the measurement of resistance in your atomizer/clearo/carto/coil. The one thing that has taken me awhile to learn however, is how amperage comes into play. With batteries in mechanicals as well as high drain/protected ones in APV's with boost circuits. For a long time I stuck with that sweet spot of 3.7-4.2 with a 1.5ohm dripper. Then I started playing with cartos/RBAs and realized now, airflow and chamber design plays a huge role in vapor production as well. Having a high resistance doesn't necessarily mean you can't produce vapor, but it does mean you have to up your voltage to compensate. Additionally, the only control you have over your resistance is your purchasing decision, or how you wrapped your coil. It's not something you can dial in like your voltage/wattage.

Hahahaha it made me laugh when you say "too much ohm" and "too little ohm". Its a unit of measurement - its not like an item that you can go "heres some ohms, enjoy"

"ohm" is the unit measuring resistance between two points. Resistance means how much the wire will constrict the flow of electricity. Thus, higher resistance ("high ohm") will allow less current to run through, resulting in less heat in the coil. So you actually got it backwards: low ohm means more vapor, if voltage is fixed (granted other conditions are satisfied, such as saturated wick, enough air flow etc.)

You have part of it right Sharon. Ohms is the way resistance to the flow of electricity is measured. So, higher ohms means there is more resistance to the flow of electricity. The more resistance, the less electricity flows and thus less heat is produced by the coil in the PV. Lower ohms (resistance) means the opposite and more heat is produced.

Produce more heat and you use more power (watts) and vaporize fluid faster (more vapor). You can get this from lower ohms and/or higher volts and this will burn out your device faster.

Given a set voltage, like say a 3.7 volt battery, lowering the ohms uses more power and gives more heat, increasing ohms uses less power and gives less heat.

Check out PBs vid on Tase My Juice web site. He has a great explanation of Ohms Law under his Tutorial section. Beginers guide to vaping.

I would post a link but not able due to site restrictions

The title of the post made me think of Salt 'n Pepa. "Let's Talk About Ohms, Baby. Let's Talk About You and Me."

or, Things that make you gO HMmm hahaha.

.... so I fail the quiz huh? Well I'm watching sister act so of course I can't focus. Oooohmmm.

lets talk about all the good vapes and the bad vapes that may be, lets talk about ohms...

ohms law V=IxR

or rather voltage = amp x resistance

Ha! Ok I have the parental controls set on my pc so maybe I won't be able to veiw the site either. Incidentally my hubs is out of the country... I'd love to answer his inquiries about why I was on taste my juice website.. "babe! I was just reading the articles I swear!" Haha too funny.
