I'm going to respond primarily to your "aside" question, but I will make a passing comment on the sore throat: That can be due to many things ... including those having nothing to do with vaping. Perhaps the PG, but if your other e-liquids have had PG in them, that is unlikely. Maybe even the
VG. 80/20 is a typical proportion in e-liquids, but usually it's the other way around: 80%
PG. A "bad batch" is possible, but Vaporbomb is not especially known for that.
If that sore throat comes back, start by using common over-the-counter meds for sore throat and if it doesn't improve in a couple days guess what you should do: See a doctor! None of us here are medical professionals.
Now to the topic I (and other vets) know
something about: Low res attys exist to help 3.2V devices (e.g., eGos) and 3.7V devices (e.g., 14500- and 18650-based mods) deliver a more
powerful vape (which is measured in watts). 5V, 6V, and variable voltage mods do this on their own by upping the battery voltage, but lowering the resistance of the atomizer (or cartomizer) is equally valid. The formula is:
Watts (i.e., power or vape intensity) = Volts X Volts (of the battery) / Ohms (i.e., atomizer resistance)
Many vapers find that 6-8 watts is the "sweet spot."
So a 1.6 ohm Smok Tech Dual Coil cartomizer on a 3.2V eGo will deliver 6.4 watts of power a vape intensity that many of us fine much more satisfying than a standard 2.3 ohm atty/carto on that battery: 4.5 watts. Similarly, a Boge 2.0 ohm cartomizer on a 3.7V mod (or
some fat batts like the Riva-510 Special Edition or my 1100 mAh KGO and 1300 mAh Echo, which are 3.7V) delivers 6.8 watts.
For more on this volts/ohms/watts (and amps) stuff and on LR and HV atomizers/cartomizers, check out
