ohms

[Cote]

Please explain ohms. And explain it slowly. I have an innokin itaste 134 and like to vape halo and maple leaf caramel, maple, chocolate crap. I don't like a huge throat hit but enough to know it's knocking at the door. I vape my mod usually on 8. Any suggestions on what ohms to get? I need to get an atomizer but this ohms stuff is confusing me. I am a simple creature. Thanks.

The resistance of your coil (ohms) dictates the power needed (Watts) to get the electricity (voltage) to your atomizer. The beauty of the 134 is you really don't need to worry about the resistance of your coil (within reason). If you're using something along the line of a Protank, the stock heads will work just fine. Just tune the power (watts) to taste. The device will take care of the rest and adjust the voltage accordingly.

Yep what retired1 said!

Just to expand on this a little with an example:

Every atomizer/clearomizer/cartomizer/etc. is built to a particular resistance (ohms) so:

2.8ohms x 4v = 11w
2.4ohms x 4.5v = 10.8w
1.8ohms x 6v = 10.8w



So, as you can see, regardless of the attached device's resistance, setting your 134 at a particular wattage will automagically adjust the voltage to match the resistance. So, regardless of the resistance rating of the attached device, you'll theoretically get the same kind of vape experience.

If you're device DIDN'T have variable wattage, every time you attached a new device, you'd have to adjust the voltage to taste.

In the end, it's all about saving you from having to make adjustments every time you attach something new to your 134.

You are off on that one the lower the amp the less volts needed to for the same watts W= V2/R (volt squared ) so 1.8 ohms at 6V would give you 20W

Actually, you are both off on that one LOL!

He's off on his math but he's correct with his theory.
You're correct with the math but off on the theory. LOL!

Fixed it for you

the lower the amp resistance the less volts needed to for the same watts

or

the lower the amp the less more volts needed to for the same watts

Thank god the OP asked for a simple explanation since he was confused. I guess he's not anymore LOL!

 

[Battlelance]

lol oops. Should have been 4.4v. Ah well, glad we helped make that clear as mud.

 

[GOTFrog]

meant resistance. crap
