Ohm's what's the difference?

[JesterDev]

I am going to buy myself some stardust clearomizers and plan on rebuilding them when they burn out. I have no clue what ohms are, and want to make sure I get the right ones. I vape between 4v and 5v depending. I have some A1 32 Awg wire which I use for my AT-O-Mizer and my A2, but never really thought about what the ohms are, what they mean.


This is just until the Vivi Nova's are back in stock and the issues have been resolved.

Appreciate any help here!

Recommend you get a multimeter and learn the basics. You are playing with fire and if you are going to make your own coils you can easily get in a dangerous ohm (resistance) range and cause your battery to explode.

You can find helpful videos on multimeters on YouTube.

Thanks! Have a multimeter and use it on VV mods. But have never really used it for much else.

I agree with BL43 - always the possibility of battery explosions with the cheap Chinese batteries, but more than likely you would burn out the MOSFET in your battery, rendering it useless. Varying the ohms can result in more or less wattage to the coil, giving more vape and flavor, but careful is the word.

The lowest I would go is 1.5 Ohms, as these are available commercially. Some of the more sophisticated devices will shut down if too much current is drawn, but a home mod would simply try to supply as much current as demanded by the coil.
