Low ohm vs Higher ohm Clear omizer. Pro's & Con's ? ? Help

[livinlarge]

Question.

Using typical Kanger tanks like the Aerotank, Mini Protank 3, Evod 2 or what ever brand in this class.
What are the pro's and con's where it comes to the ohm's of the tank. Like 1.5 ohm's, 2.0 ohm's, 2.5 ohm's.

Vape quality, flavour, battery life, juice consumption, lifespan of coils. Other pro's and con's?
Also do people find they need to turn up the wattage or lower the wattage on different ohm levels of coils.

I use a iTaste MVP 2.0 with variable wattage and normally keep it set to 8.0 watts to 9.0 watts for all tanks.
Any input or experiences would be appreciated.

Some of this comes down to preference. Low resistance attachments (under 2 ohms) appeared originally so that people could have a warmer vape on devices that didn't have a way to increase watts, or had a limited voltage range - like the ego twist. With so many devices that now go to 15 watts or even higher the low resistance isn't necessary if your device can reach the watts you like with standard resistance. If you know the watts you want to vape at then your MVP2 is going to do that for you regardless of what ohms your coil is. It reads the ohms and adjusts the volts to give the watts you have set. So for typical stock tanks like you mention I prefer standard ohms with a variable wattage device. I don't need low resistance.

Here's an example. The vape is set at 8 watts. The ohms are 2.5. The amps will be 1.788.
Now we put in a 1.8 ohm coil and vape at 8 watts. The amps will be 2.108. So the lower resistance requires more current and drains the battery more. That may not make much difference at these levels, but the real point is your battery is going to drain a bit faster and you are still just vaping at the same power level.

With vv, regardless of the ohms of the coil, you start low and work your way up to taste. With vw, it self adjusts.

INO, using a higher ohmed coil and vv, you get more options than with a lower ohmed one. However, using RBAs, I would go with lower ohms as the coil heats up faster.

IME it's good to keep the resistance (ohm) in the 1.5-2 ohm range if you have several kinds of PV's. Mechs don't care some much and all you do is match the resistance with the voltage 3.5-4.2 volts to get the wattage you want. With VW's watts are watts pretty much except for a couple of considerations. The wire size and turns of the wire and the wick size along with the feed system. I find that i can run higher wattage with bottom feed systems like the protank. So like others have said you just set the wattage to what gives you the amount of vapor and taste you want. IMO big vapor clouds don't give you that much more effect or flavor. The reason I say that is you are expelling most of the vapor and it is IMO wasted. So match the atomizer resistance to the battery/apv then in the case of a VV or VW adjust for the effect/flavor you want.
