Ohms

[dzlady]

I am not really a "newbie", but newer than a lot here. So I thought I would ask these questions in this forum.

I have two different pv's. Both of which are 510's. One came from Vaper's Corner and the atomizers are 2.6 ohms. The others come from mypvshop and the atomzers are 3.6 ohms. (I have a multimeter and took the readings a few minutes ago)

Both batteries are 180 mAh.

My questions are...
1) can I use the 3.6 ohm atty on the battery from Vaper's Corner?
and
2) what is the difference between the two atty's and the two different ohm reading?

Is one a low resistance and one a standard? And what does that mean?

Thanks In Advance,
Teresa

The 2.6 is a standard atty and I would be a little leary of the one that read 3.6. Are you absolutely sure about that reading? 3.6 is awfully close to HV. It won't hurt your 510, but you might not get a lot of vapor from it.

HV? I have three pv's with 2 atty's each from mypvshop and all the atty's that came with them have the same reading.

If they both fit and are the same threads yes you can use on both.....but if you truely have one that reads(as you said in your op) at 3.6 you will probably be disappointed in the vapor.....but give it a try........

The 3.6 is an HV Atty meant for 6v vaping sessions, it wont work on you 180mAh 3.7 Batt hardly at all, the 2.6 is a mid range Atty, that also wont work to well on your 180mAh 3.7 Batt. you should look for a 2.0-2.3 ohm Atty for that 180mAh 3.7Batt

510 is not a 3.7v battery when you are using it. It's a 3.2 volt battery.

3.6 ohms seems like an atomizer designed for high voltage (HV) mods. The higher the ohms the cooler an atomizer runs and the more voltage it needs run warmly.

2.6 seems more correct for a 510, maybe a little low. Don't go any lower than that on a slim battery.

I would be willing to bet that your meter is off by about .5Ω and my need to be aclibrated. It is much more likely that your attys are 2Ω and 3Ω

Try setting your meter on the lowest possible resistance setting and touching the leads together to see if they are actually adding resistance.
