How do you figure your "current"? Is that your battery mah? Or do you even need to enter that?
Any two given values will yield the missing ones.
current = voltage/resistance
current = wattage/voltage

This just isn't accurate. If vaping at 4.7v - 5.0v burned the eliquid, then no one would do it. Instead, it provides warmer, fuller vapor. I use dual coils at 4.7 - 4.9 volts and there is no burning of the eliquid. Just nice warm, full vapor with nice flavor. I've also used LR attys/cartos on 3.7v models and in comparison to standard resistence attys, the LR's degrade more quickly. It's amazing that there are some on here who think no one should ever vape above 3.7 volts and have to make posts about 3.7 volt vaping in a thread about a new person finding 5 volt vaping a better experience. There is a problem with that type of limited thinking.
Everyone is different about what they like. I personally prefer a cooler vape and 5 volts is too much for me.
I'll take your word for that, man, and I may go down that route. Anything economical makes my senses more receptive. LR's degrade more quickly. Okay. Certainly makes SR cheaper if as you say they last longer.
That's actually true.
It's my experience that one "properly powered" SR carto will outlast a box of LR cartos.
Now just understand that "properly powered" does not mean seeing how hot you can make the darn thing run.
A consistent power source (like a PT or regulated voltage), and carto tanks also adds to longevity.
In fact carto tanks will pay for themselves with the number of cartos that you don't throw in the trash.
But WV2win, he did say that he wasn't going to use 3.7 anymore, and some of us dissagree with that.
Liking 5v vaping is not a valid reason to not also like vaping at other voltages.
Oh and ontheset, those 510 connectors would fit nice and snug in an 11/32" hole, and wouldn't have to set exposed.

Everybody is entitled to vape as they wish. This is my opinion.
3.7 isn't good enough IMO. Tried different combinations but..... I think every e-liquids has a certain way they must be vaped.
Others work really well at high voltage others at low. And of course its different for everyone's taste buds.

I'm not against someone liking the low throat hit and cold vaper on a 3.7 volt model. Everyone is different. I regularly recommend 3.7 volt models. What I find is an effort by some veterans to only recommend and promote 3.7 and smaller volt models as the only option, especially to new vapers. This type of information limitation is quite unfortunate.
I agree with you WV. I wish I had all of the $ back that I spent on 3.7v products. Batteries for the most part. While I applaud those who can get by on 3.7v I am not one of them. I still believe that 5v and up is a better way to mimic an analog......at least for the TH aspect.
Wiz!Got news for ya, this little key ring thing I'm vaping right now is not exactly what I'd call "low throat hit and cold vaper".
But I do agree that there is a lot more than one way to get a good vape. So 3.7v is not the only show in town by any means.
Right it's the watts going to the carto and the cartos ability to keep the wick moist that counts the most. I use a provari but still vape at 3.7 volts. If I wanted more hit I could use either more volts or lower ohm cart. When I am away from home I like to use a smaller battery that's why I mix my juices to taste best at 3.7 volts. Otherwise I don't see any reason not to use a higher voltage and a higher ohm carto. If I wasn't mixing my own juice I would higher voltages. Depending on the juice and how it tastes. Other people want more hit than I do and a higher voltage is good way to get it.
Agreed. There are thousands of people who want warm vapor and definite throat hit. This is why they use 5 volt and variable volt models. When someone starts a thread stating that they are more satisfied vaping at 5 volts, I don't get why anyone else decides to post something to the effect: "no, no all you need is 3.7 volts, like I vape".
I got nothin' but love for the 5v vape. It's what finally got me to give up those random analogs I was still smoking. Variable voltage is what's keeping me smoke free now. Being able to fine tune my vape is key for me. Whatever works for you is OK in my book. Good job!
I'm not sure what type I am using but it's branded as e-licious with disposable carts with no nic.
What I have found is it is fully charged at 3.7V and discharged at 3.4
The carts I have checked all average about 2.5 Ohms
I pop the tops and refill myself on the carts.
One of the batterys I moded to run off my PC 5V supply with a resistor to drop the Volts down and it works great for when I am at home and working on my computer.
I had tried to run just off the 5v supply (4.7v) and found it killed the flavor far too much.

I found that when I lowered my nic from 12mg to 8mg (I'm down to 4mg now) that I was missing something so I switched to VV and somewhere between 9.5 and 11.5 watts depending on the juice works for me
IMO it's all about the sweet spot.... perhaps AKA wattage....
I've had great vaping at 3.2 volts, and I've had great vaping at 6.6 (and terrible at 3.2 and 6.6).... a good vape depends on several factors- the voltage, quality of the atty, resistance of the atty, and the nicquid blend... I've found atty's i really like for use on a single lithium cell (4.2 volts to 3 volts), and i've found a lot i hated on that voltage range... and i can say the same for higher voltages....
btw... just to clarify for noobs... take an eGo for example... when fully charged it sits at 4.2 volts dc..... then as you use it, the voltage slowly drops.... i haven't measured one when it was nearly exhausted, but I'd speculate around 3.2 volts... so just to clarify, an eGo will indeed put out 3.7 volts at some point, just not for very long, the more you use it, the lower the voltage will be... then you recharge and start again at 4.2
which brings up why having regulated voltage is such a big deal... if you find you enjoy the vape of your eGo when its fresh off the charger, then it's not so good when you've used it for half a day, buying a unit with regulated voltage could make your vaping a better experience, as it will put out pretty much the exact voltage that you select on it... you don't have a good vape at the beginning, an ok vape in the middle and a poor vape when the battery is nearly empty...
