In a nutshell, Wattage (heat, power) generated by your PV = Voltage squared divided by Resistance (Ohms). It's all about Wattage, really. The range considered safe and satisfying for most vapers is somewhere between 4 and 8 Watts.

Try different combinations and see what works for you. And don't go too high; too much heat will just burn your juices and the filler in your cartos.

thanks guys.anyone know when gotvapes will be getting the new variable ego's in?or would it be better to find something that has even higher voltage?if so are there any out there that won't break the bank?I just want to get a batt that gives me better flavor than my current ego at 3.7 volts.I have been using the xl cleromizers and after one fill the taste is lacking even after a good cleaning.

I think you will be able to get plenty hot on the Ego 3-stage. You actually could use 2.0 ohm. People do on the new Rivas from Liberty-Flights and they should be 4.2v right off the charger then drop to 3.7 and get lower.

If you go higher voltage than 4.2 then you lower the variety of stuff you will have to choose from. The most stuff is from 2-3 ohms. And you could go a bit below 2 though the 4.2v could be too hot for some of those.

No no no no no,,,,,,,,,,, here is a very easy way to put you in a simplicity way to look at things and to always put you very close with any VV Mod. always add 2v or 2.2v to whatever ohm Atty your using. This will ( most of the time ) put you on to a perfect match up of ohm's vs Voltage combo to use. Example = 2.0 ohm Atty +2 = 4v vape or 4.2v vape with a 2ohm Atty. !
2.4 ohm Atty +2v 4.4v or 4.6v vape this is for lower voltage vaping. It can vary a bit higher with say a 3.5ohm Atty and you can go north of the 5.7v to upwards of 6v. Bottom line this is just a very simple way of judging your starting voltage when you put on a new Atty and if you have a VV mod you can always adjust and dial it in of course to where you like it but if you use the +2 or + 2.2 it will always put you dam close to where you want to be. This is just a simple way of doing it and it usually works quit well.

You also wont lower the variety of stuff, I have used a 2.2ohm Atty at 5v and have had a very blissful vaping experience at times. It's all subjective and whatever you like and you feel your sweet spot is, different juices act differently at different voltages and some juice taste better much hotter and some much cooler, it is whatever you happen to enjoy, and again the +2v or +2.2v over your ohms will always get you close ! ohm's law does not always come into play

From what I understand about the VV eGo is it has 2 voltages, high & low. To me, that isn't variable voltage. I don't know what the price is for this new eGo but it probably is more affordable than the eGo booster but you don't really have much choice on voltage. It's either high or low. With the eGo Booster you can dial in anywhere between 3.2 and 4.2. It's a bit pricey but it gives you a wider range of voltage.
