Lower ohm coils with adjustable batteries

[jschweg21]

My question is pretty simple. If you have an adjustable battery and are happy with the wattage range produced by the battery and coil, is there any real point to trying lower ohm coils?

If I have a 1.5 ohm coil and am running 4 volts through it, I'm getting roughly 10 watts. Obviously if I switched to a 1.2 ohm coil, this would produce more wattage at the same voltage, but wouldn't turning the battery up on the 1.5 yield identical results?

That being said, if I switched to a 1.2 ohm coil and turned the battery down to 3.5ish, I can get my same 10 watts at a lower voltage, and therefore maybe save battery power?

I'm just trying to understand the point of swapping to a lower ohm coil if you aren't interested in increasing max wattage at max battery setting.

Thanks guys!

If you have a VW mod, changing the ohms won't make any difference as long as you are within the acceptable resistance range for your mod.

If you have a VV mod, you will need less volts to achieve the same power (watts) with the lower resistance. You still won't be able to exceed the max power rating of the VV mod, however.

If you have a mech mod, dropping to lower ohms will pull more current from the battery and produce more watts, with no limit really, except for the safe current capacity of the battery being used.

If you are happy with it the way it is then there is no point in changing anything. You wouldn't save enough battery time to make it worth while.

Cool that's what I thought. So then if I'm happy with my 10 watts, I could swap to a lower ohm coil and actually save battery power by dropping the voltage and have the same results right?

I just have a very simple adjustable kangertech evod vv battery 3.2-4.8v

Its not necessarily true. If you get the v exactly right then maybe. This is where the VW setting comes in handy. It will adjust the voltage for you regardless of ohm load so you always get the same vape. The battery saved isn't going to be what you are thinking. Mabye a few puffs at best

Amps are what drain your battery and the higher the amp load the quicker you will drain your battery. If you could run your battery down to it's limit this isn't as true, but since most cut out at about 3.5V it can make a big difference. So the higher the ohms the better for your battery at the same power, it will also put the battery under less stress making it last longer.
