that is exactly what I am looking for. although I don't know the difference in types. hmm. not sure how I know what is compatible with my current 510.

if it's a slim battery you don't want to use the low resistance stuff because it could damage the battery. if its an ego or riva type battery youll be fine

I'm sorry permafrying... (love that user name) I have to disagree (respectfully). I know they say that, but ... it's hard to explain.... the 1.5 ohm LR (the REALLY LOW RESISTANCE) attys can sometimes damage a eGo or Riva. They draw more amps than it was intended to use. The MOSFETs give out.

OTOH, the slim cig sized batteries can't produce enough amps to fry the mosfet, but it does stress the battery a bit. The main reason to not use LR on the slims is that they only last an hour or so on a good day with 3.0 ohm atties.

So...
A) for a slim cig-like battery (standard 510)... you can try 2.5 ohm, or even 2.0 ohm if you want... but you'll charge em even more. lol. "Standard" is 3.0 ohm. Lower ohms will stress the battery, but then again, they don't last long anyway (lifetime, not charge-life).
B) for an eGo, I'd personally stay at 2.0 ohms or higher. Others swear by 1.5 ohms, but they also kill eGos sometimes. YMMV as they say. May also vary according to manufacturer and model-revision. Best you can say is "I'll risk it", or "2.0 Ω is good enough."

Need to buy 510 atomizers. Any deals out there right now? what is the best?
I like the authentic Joye 510s. But I vape at 5 volts and use 3.0 ohms. Haven't tried em at other ohm ratings.

That brings up another question I was wondering. Can you use the low resistance on you regular 510 pass through? TIA :)

It's a PT with a battery at 3.x volts, true? You're vaping off the battery, not the USB. The USB just charges the battery. So.... I would use the same cautions as for the eGo, personally, and use 2.0 ohm LR rather than 1.5 ohms. But that's me, and my best guess. See... when making these recommendations, we tend to err on the side of caution since we have no reliable way to test every device/rev with every ohm atty and see how they old up. It's all word of mouth stuff.

OH, and before anyone asks... it's ok to use the battery PTs with computer USB (generally speaking). It's the 5 volt direct (no battery) PTs that you should use a 2.0+ amp USB wall adapter with. NO-BATTERY PT = NO COMPUTER USB! (battery PT = free to USB!)
