Noobie Confusion - Ohms - Resistance ????

[mac16101]

Hello to all,

I was looking at the clearomizers, they come in different ohms, 2.4, 2.8, 3.2. If Im looking to buy the CigEasy KR8 with 902 batt, or even a regular xl kr8 batt, would I want the 3.2ohms? Ive read dozens of post on this but I just cant lock this into my head. What about the regular pre-filled Cartos for the KR8, what are their ohms? Is there a manual for this like Don's vaping manual?

I want my carto to last a while, I dont want it to burn out quickly. Im not into a ton of TH, or even massive amounts of vaper. I just want to relax and vape without worry.

Its just not sinking in about this and is very confusing. After reading some of your posts, you all seem like rocket scientists, and I feel like a dope. I havent even bought my first kit yet, and Im thinking this is all a bit to much work. With analogs, you just pop it in your mouth and go, no worries, no ohmns, no resistance. The only thing I have to think about is buying a new lighter when mines empty.

So any light you can shed on this for me would be truly appreciated.

Current (Amps) = Voltage (Volts) / Resistance (Ohms). Higher current = more, hotter vapor (and possibly more throat hit), but lower battery life and you go through juice faster. There are two ways to increase current -- either increase voltage (5v or 6v battery mods) or decrease resistance. kr8 batteries output 3.7v (or are supposed to, anyway -- some output as much as 4.2v, some much less than 3.7v), so if you want a warmer, thicker vape you can reduce the resistance of the atomizer in the carto. Depending on where you get your current cartos from, they could be anywhere from 2.5ohms to 3.2ohms or so (V4L WOW cartos vs. CoolCart cartos are a good example -- the WOW cartos are lower resistance, but get a lot hotter).

Based on what you say you want, getting 2.8-3.0 ohm clearos should be the right way for you to go.

You really don't have to worry about any of this if you don't want to.
If what you get works for you (and it probably will) then you're fine.

But if you decide you want to improve some aspect of your vaping experience, then you can learn as much as you want.
And once you've started using an electronic cigarette, all of this stuff will make much more sense, if you care to learn about it.

Thanks to both of you. toddos, I think I finally have it now. DC2 you are absolutely right, I do want to learn and the only way to do it is to buy one. You guys have already taught me so much, which I truly appreciate it. My problem is I research too much, and that can be a good thing. But to truly learn I need get off of this stupid fence and experience it for myself. The next time you hear from me will be my first review.

Cheers!

Hey mac one thing you could do is buy a mixed pack. I did this from an Aus seller and figured out which resistance was best for me. I'm guessing there should be a US supplier that does the same.

Jump in with both feet! Just do enough research so you don't get scammed and have an idea of where you want to start (sounds like you're leaning towards KR808D-1 stuff, which is a very good place to start IMHO -- consider getting some regular cartos as well as clearos, so you can taste the difference). Once you're in, you'll still want to check out new stuff, try new juices, etc. No point in delaying.
