About to purchase a clearomizer. Just need to press ok. I noticed they all have different ohms. The svd im ordering is 5amps. 3.3v - 6v 3-15 watts. Whats my ohm range for a clearomizer? Dont want to order one i cant use. thanks.

You can replace the coils with many different resistances. I use Kanger Pt2 mini And Iclear 30s. The Kanger has 4 coils ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 ohms. The Iclear has 3 from 1.5 to 2.1 ohms. I had a 5 pack of 2.0 coils for the 30s, don't know if they we're knock offs, but they worked great. My point is, if you don't like the resistance of the tank, you can change the resistance to whatever you like. Try out different coils till you find what works best for you. The svd looks like a nice mod. I have been thinking of getting one down the road. Let me know how it works.

With the available power settings of your device, you can use any resistance clearo off the shelf (they usually run about 1.8Ω to 2.8Ω); however, using a lower resistance juice delivery device can use up more of the battery charge. It's not really noticeable to many vapers, but it is to some.

Battery life (meaning the length of the charge) is determined by the amps you're pulling.

(I changed the order of quadrants around on the wheel to amuse myself, but the formulae are all still correct.)

P = power (watts)
V = volts
R = resistance
I = current (amps) I forgot why it's "I"

Voltage x voltage ÷ resistance (ohms) = power (watts)

4.5v²/2.2Ω = 9.2w

Voltage ÷ resistance (ohms) = I (current/amps)

4.5v/2.2Ω = 2.05 amps

3.7v²/1.5Ω = 9.1w

3.7v/1.5Ω = 2.47 amps

Even though a 2.2Ω atty at 4.5v and a 1.5Ω atty at 3.7v are producing the same amount of watts (+/- 9), when vaping low-res the amps increase, which draws more from the battery.

I like 2.0-2.4Ω coils on my variable voltage devices--but any resistance coil will work.

Please remember that stock (single) coils are not designed to handle more than 8.5 watts or so.

Good luck!

both the clearomizers im buying are duel coils. Is this an issue? wops, didnt notice all the other posts. Looks like i should be fine. Thanks guys!

Dual coils are different--they need more wattage than their single cousins and they will mow through your battery and your juice much faster. If I were you, I'd get a single-coil clearo also--unless it's too late.

Either way, you're fine. Your battery can handle any stock coil. single or dual.

Have fun!

Enquiring minds want to know...

From Wikipedia “The conventional symbol for current is I, which originates from the French phrase intensité de courant, or in English current intensity. This phrase is frequently used when discussing the value of an electric current, but modern practice often shortens this to simply current. The I symbol was used by André-Marie Ampère, after whom the unit of electric current is named, in formulating the eponymous Ampère's force law which he discovered in 1820. The notation travelled from France to Britain, where it became standard, although at least one journal did not change from using C to I until 1896.”

Great post by the way.
