A couple of questions from a newbie who really would like to know because of an ohm tester I'm about to get.

1--Low resistance atomizer means a quicker ignition of juice without having to draw heavily on the e cig ??

2---High resistance atomizer means a longer amount of time until juice ignites and have to draw longer on the c cig??

3---Is it possible to find out the voltage of a 1100 mah ? Right now, I have 2 ego 650s and I'm about to add 2 ego 1100s?

Thanks for any info you may have.

Since you're using eGo batteries your voltage will be pretty much the same all the time (when it's getting low you experience this by less vapor production so it's time to recharge).

1: Yes, using the same voltage a lower resistance atomizer means more heat = more vapor.
2: Partly correct. When using a high resistance atomizer you'll never be able to get the same amount of vapor as with a lower resistance atomizer so you can draw as much as you want but never get a satisfying vape.
Compare it to a hand rolled cigarette: when you've rolled it too tight it's never going to give you a good smoke, no matter how hard you draw.
3: The voltage of all the eGo batteries is the same. The 1100mAh version will just last longer before you need to recharge.

I appreciate that. Thanks very much
