What is the difference between LR and low ohm. I think I might know but I need some reasurance here. Is there some things that one of those is better at than the other. Or purposes to use one or the other?? Thank you.
LR vs low ohm??

I'm glad I ask. LOL Cause that is not what I was thinking. And I am not going to embarrass myself by saying what I was thinking. LOL
Now that that is out of the way. Can you tell me what low vs high is all about? thanks again.

I'll do my best though I barely remember this from school:
The main thing we want in our cartomizers or atomizer is power. The power is measured in Watt and equals the voltage^2 divided by the resistance. Written a bit more math-like:
W =V*V / R, where W is watt, V the voltage and R the resistance - or number of ohm if you like.
Say you're using a reg. Ego battery which typically has a voltage of 3.4 volts and you're using a regular carto at 3 ohm:
3.4 V * 3.4 V / 3 ohm = 3.85 watt
Now change the carto to a LR, rated at 2 ohm:
3.4 V * 3.4 V / 2 ohm = 5.78 watt, significantly more power - more and warmer vapour.
Or just think like this: when resistance goes down, power goes up.
You could, of course, vary the voltage instead. This is why some mods feature VV (=variable voltage) letting the user find the sweet spot for a certain juice. Some like colder vapour with some juices and some like it hot.
Haven't thought along these lines in many years, so wait for confirmation from someone at the ECF jedi council - I think it's correct.
Thanks for letting me have fun!

REsistance(ohms) is part of the Power equation Power(Watts) = (Volts x Volts) / Ohms
So, if your battery puts out 4 volts and your atomizer has 3ohms resistance then Power is 5.33 Watts. If the atomizer is 2 Ohms then the Power is 8 Watts. When current flows through a resistor(atomizer), heat is created. The amount of heat is Power(Watts(1 joule per second))) x Time. In our little example my 3 seconds on the button produces 15.99 joules of heat and 24 Joules respectively.

...it all has to do with wattage(or power used)...easiest example I can give...a 3.7v PV with a 1.7 ohm(LR) cartomizer will use about the same power(8ish watts) as a 5v device with a 3ohm(standard or regular resistance) cartomizer(8ish watts)...so, with a LR carto, you can emulate higher voltage vaping with a 3.7v PV...just for fun, here is a link to ahttp://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms_law_calculator.php try entering diff voltages and ohms to see what kinda watts and amp draw you get...most folks find their sweet spot between 6-10 watts...obviously some higher and some lower............
