I use Mike's system... Ohms + 2-.2..Its a great starting point..Often dead on:)

I saw him post that, but it was when my brain was on overload already and looking at numbers would have made it totally short circuit. Does that mean if the ohm is 1.8 start with 3.6 and go up or down from there?? 2.4 start with 4.2?

You will find that you need to toss all those charts and formulas out the window. Just changing flavors with a CE4 type atomizer can make you change the voltage by as much as a 1/2 a volt or more.
Exact same setup and I'm running an apple flavor at 3.3v and a cappuccino at 4.2v.

Yeah I know various juices need different things. Mostly I've just used the chart to find a starting place.......and I did realize that I was vaping a 1.8 at like 4.8 and the chart said that was well into the area where it could start melting things, so I definitely backed off of that!

Good afternoon everybody!

Looking for some input on a decision I have to make.

My mini LT needs new batts. I bought it in a co-op for $55 and it's the original. Works great and still in good condition, but the original batts are getting weak.

I would be looking at spending about $16 plus shipping on 2 new AW 16350 batts and would probably upgrade to a better charger too, which would add another $20 at least, depending on which charger I decide on.

So I'm thinking maybe I'd rather put that $40 towards new gear with a 18650 batt. Maybe a new LT or a Gripper. But I'm open to other suggestions too. It would be nice to have VV with the ability to read the ohms on the cartos. I'm no longer concerned about size or shape of PV.

Fire away with your thoughts/suggestions please! :)

I don't have mine yet, and will only get it cuz I won a gc to get it with......but folks are saying amazing things about the gripper! Many are liking it better than their provaris even. So I am thrilled that mine is somewhere between NY and here. That being said.....tons of folks love the panasonic batts and that convinced me I needed a couple of those, so I hope those are the ones you're looking at. Some places have free shipping on them. I've now realized that I do need a safer charger. The place I won the GC didn't have pannys or a good charger, and that's part of why I opted for the gripper. While I'm thrilled to be getting that.......If I were spending actual $ and my choices were the gripper, or pannys and a safer charger, I'd go with the good batts and charger first, then save up a bit and get the gripper. I know batts and chargers aren't "fun stuff" like a new pv, but they might infuse some new life into the one you have, who knows.

I have something new! No smoking analogs anymore! Woot! Ok ok, it's only been a few
days, but the eGo did it!
Not bad for a newbie, huh? :vapor:

Wahoooooooo!!! Welcome and congrats on kickin the butts!! Also on modding, that's awesome!

Don't feel like I quite qualify as older folks yet, only 59 years young.

I feel 112 but act like I'm 3 lol (hopefully childlike not childish) all are welcome here.

Also we have a talk about anything social thread with mostly the same folks as here that y'all are welcome to join.
