Hey all..... so I'm just wondering, what's the diff between the 1.8, 2.2 or 2.5 ohm?? How will it effect my vaping experience since I'm going to use it with my ego twist? I have variable voltage as it is, so now how do the ohm's effect that?? I don't know which to choose, anybody can give me a little help here? Thanks! lol

I agree, the lower the ohms the more "airy" draw you get the higher ohms you go its more resistance to inhale. I like 2.0-2.4ohms that range seems just right for all my PV's. I use that ohms on a eVic, Vision spinners, ego 1300mah batteries. Bottom coil tanks, top coil wicks, carto tanks....between 2.0-2.4ohms seems to be the best for me all around.
Sometimes if you use the higher ohms coils, you have a bit more range without the fear of burning anything.
Some juice needs to be cranked up for better throat hit or flavor. Some juices it won't matter. It depends on what you're vaping and your own personal preferences.

I still haven't had a chance to play around with diff coil heads and voltages until I try my ego today after it arrives in the mail, but so far I've been using some standard cheap e-cig it's called iFill by Maya, check it out. I'm not sure what coil head ohm it has since they don't specify but it looks very standard. So far I've enjoyed the hits on it and since I been using BWB juices, I get clouds of vapor, good throat hit and good flavor. So I'd like to keep the ohm on my coil heads around this setting now, I prefer more vapor than TH, so does that mean 2.0-2.4 is a good ohm for me? I like more vapor production and that rich deep underlying taste that stays in your throat after.... lol
Here goes a quick Coil Ohm TIP!!
The different ohm coils are helpful for those with devices that are not variable voltage.
If you have VV you can easily adjust the voltage to accommodate the higher coil head.
Here is an easy example....
You have a standard ego (Not Variable Voltage)
Your going to want to stay with a lower ohm coil.
It will be more in the power range of that 3.7 Volt Device.
This will keep you closer to that sweet spot for that device.
Vape On!!!!!

Your Twists are going to give you a good vape at all of those resistances. A fixed ego batt needs to be on the lower/middle range. Depending on your topper, though, you can get different draws with different devices. The EVOD seems to have a very popular draw and vape. The Protank is an airier draw, which is easily corrected, and easy to adjust to for many. The Protank may also give you better vapor, because of the air flow. An air flow controller is a $3.00 accessory that allows you to customize your draw on any 510 tank. I don't think you can mess this one up, btw, and I would lean toward the 1.8 - 2.2 range as others have recommended. Btw, there's some good videos that discuss this very topic that might interest you on YouTube. Best of luck to you! Happy Vaping!

Ummm...Not exactly. The "resistance" of a device refers the the impedance of the current, not physical resistance of the human body. Power changes temperature, which affects flavor and throat hit, but not airiness (although a warmer vape may feel less airy).
And at lower resistance/ohm/Ω the device will actually produce a warmer vape, unless the voltage is set low. Low resistance devices came on the market so that people with low voltage regulated batteries (like the original Joyetech eGo, which fires at ≈3.3v) could experience the kind of vaping as people using more powerful batteries. For example:
Let's take a Joytech firing at 3.3v. Matched with a 1.8Ω head, the vape would be ≈6w
The same 3.3v battery, matched with a 2.2Ω head will produce ≈5w
Variable voltage batteries allow you fine tune the power level to fit all of those devices.
For example, if you set the Twist at 4v (I tend to start there, since it's kind of the middle) your heads would provide:
1.8Ω - 8.88w
2.2Ω - 7.27w
2.5Ω - 6.4w
8-6w falls pretty much in the middle of where many people like to vape.
The actually calculation is voltage x voltage / resistance = wattage, but you really don't need to know that beyond conceptually.
Math and charts only give you a rough starting place. The point is just to pick one and dial up or down until in tastes good to you.

With an ego twist all three of the coils are good. Personally I favor 2.5Ω at 4.3v. But for fixed voltage egos (I have a couple and yes I use them even though I have VV and VW devices) I prefer 1.8Ω.
With a VV device like an ego twist you can use all three. Generally speaking the higher the ohms (assuming the same voltage) the cooler the vape. The reverse is true for lower ohms. The only real difference is that in my experience lower ohm coils tend to kill a battery faster--but its not very noticeable unless one is really looking for it.
We're talking about a 650mAh batt lasting 3 hours instead of 4 (for me).
All that said. YMMV.

Wow thanks for all the helpful tips everyone! So I'm going to stay with the 2.2-2.4 ohm and see how it goes! I can use this on a battery that doesn't have VV right? Or would that be too high?
Okay so with that being said then I'd use a 1.8 ohm for a standard 650 mah battery without VV right? All this math........sheesh. Lol
Should be fine Wonder Girl. Don't worry about the math. Adjust up or down to suit taste. 1.8 to 2.2 ohms on a fixed batt will be ok for you. Happy vaping! Live and learn. Power up and Vape On!
You can use any of them. Authentic Joytech regulated eGos fire at ≈3.3v. The generic eGos are a mixed bag (but not too different); some fire at ≈3.3v; most fire at ≈3.7v; and some are unregulated, which means they come off of the charger at ≈4.2v and the voltage goes down as the battery discharges.

Skip the math. Try them all and see what you like. What you like can also change with the juice you are using and how the topper is designed. In the vaping world, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU! I like the same juice at anywhere from 5w to 9w depending on whether I'm using a Protank, a carto tank or direct dripping. Just because the math says I can vape at 10w doesn't mean I want to.
ETA: I currently have 3 battery devices filled with the same juice
A 3.7v fixed voltage box mod with a 1.5Ω atty ≈ 9w
A VV battery device set at 3.9v with a 2.6Ω Protank ≈ 5.85w
A VW battery device with a 1.7Ω atty ≈ 8w - 9w (I keep fiddling with it)
I prefer to drip hot and the difference between dripping and the Protank make it taste like 2 differenct juices.

Low 1.8 ohm delivers warmer Vape and uses more battery
Nice when wicking well
For fixed and for good performance on Twist - 1.8-2.2 is optimal. Think about it. Battery life is better when not being force to a higher level. 2.4-2.8ohm would take more output to deliver the same Vape effect as a 2.0ohm avg. with a fixed battery.
Twist gets you over the power hump. Don't but Humps(high ohms) and you rarely need the boost.
As I said, you can use any of the different coils on your ego twist. For a fixed voltage device (assuming you have one, and many people do--like a non-twist/spinner ego) I find I prefer a 1.8 ohm coil because of the lower power output (or volts). Generally for a fixed ego we're talking about the 3.3-3.7 volts range.
The 650 mAh I mentioned was a reference to battery capacity which is measured in milliamp hours. A good way to think about mAh is its like a gas tank. Some cars have a 10 gallon tank, other cars have a 20 gallon tank. Some batteries have 90mAh (usually stick batteries) other batteries have as many as 3600mAh. A 650mAh battery would be like a car with a 10 gallon tank (meaning it needs to be filled up more frequently).
One of my favorite devices is 650mAh. My only complaint about it is that its 650mAh so I have to take two with me to work.

Personally, I prefer warm or cool - that is how I adjust. I rarely pay attention to the numbers except when I'm buying the attys/heads/cartos in the first place.
Always good to see the usual people helping the sole OP

I think I got it now... While I was gone I actually just received my package with the Ego twist 1000 mah battery and the vivi nova tank, and I tried the same juice on it that I use on my other standard battery, only with the vivi nova I tried on the 1.8 ohm as oppose to the 2.4 I been using, and I can tell a slight difference. The 1.8 ohm gave me a harder throat hit, but I felt like I'm sucking in less when I was pulling on it. I also think the vapor production on it was a little smaller. Is this how it translates? Am I on point??
