ohm/volt question

[IrishUpstart]

Is it okay to run a 2.0ohm cart on a cig-a-like battery without ruining said battery?

It should be okay, but the charge won't last a very long time, so there would be more charging cycles. Therefore shorter over all battery life. Normal battery life is from 300-500 charge cycles.

What about a 900 mah volt x2 type?

cig-a-like is probably 3.7 fixed. If I understand Ohms Law correctly it would be (3.7 x 3.7 = 13.69 divided by 2.0 ohms = 6.8 watts). That is actually a pretty appropriate wattage. I usually vape at 7 or 7 1/2 watts (Vamo). Cannot imagine the battery is in danger.

What about a 900 mah volt x2 type?

No problem. The X2 is regulated at about 3.6 volts...which is fine with the 2ohm. And the mAh is greater than a cig-a-like, so the drain will not be as noticeable.

900maH battery would be just fine.. the cig alikes are usually around 180maH, with the XL styles at perhaps 250 to 300maH.

Okay....so cigalike is safe but will be drained all quick like. X2 is golden on the 2.0ohm carts. Should stick with blanks from cigalike company or step up to maybe 2.5ohm carts.

Cool! Thanks y'all! The flavor is awesome on these 2.0 deals.

Most cig-a-like companies that sell blank cartomizers for KR808 devices sell the 2.5 to 2.8 ohm type.
