Low resistance

[Usernames]

What's the Pros and Cons of a low resistance atomizer?

 

[tj99959]

The goal is to match the resistance to the voltage being used. A good starting point is to take the resistance of an atomizer and add 2 to get the voltage it will work best at.
ie: 5v PV you want about a 2.8-3ohm atty, 3.7v PV you want a 1.7-2ohm atty.

IMHO

+ perfectly capture the flavor
+ work best at a low Volt (3,3-3,5 v)

- work in less time than conventional resistance
- Some perceive the bad battery is low (less than 1.5 ohm) resistance and can be damaged

Sorry, but that's way above my head.

Myself I use LR cuz I enjoy the warmer vape BUT it does eat away quickly on my 2400 mah batts. They should be good for 24? hrs but I change them after about 15-17? hrs.
Pros= warmer vape + TH
Cons- drains batt quicker and some PVs cannot handle LR.

Credit to OP:
slim ecigs use standard resistance (around 2.5 to 3 ohms) single coil atomizers and cartomizers

450mah+ fat batteries and mods can use the LR stuff that is lower ohms. There are at least 2 kinds of low ohms stuff
- single coil - hotter and use power faster
- dual coil - double cool vapor, NOT hotter, use power faster
The lower the ohms the faster your battery power is used

In addition, what is effectively LR depends on your battery voltage. Stuff that is marked "LR" or under 2.5 ohms is LR for normal 3.4-3.7v batteries. But 3ohms (which is standard resistance for 3.7v batteries) is low resistance for a 5v battery.

Fewer/ lower Ohms should give a warmer vapor.

In time it will make perfect sense to you. The point of it all is that you don't have to settle for a cookie cutter vaping experience. You can alter the voltage or resistance to get the vaping experience that you like best.
You will develop a range that you enjoy vaping most at (measured in wattage) Both of the examples I gave above come out to approximately 8 watts. If that is to hot, you would then use a higher resistance to cool it down.
Here is a simple tool to use to help figure it all out.

I found a link that shows a chart on Voltage vs OHMS.....I have provided it below. I hope it helps, it helped me immensely. Just make it bigger, but it shows the safe vaping vs ohms in a grid.
