!!!Once you go 5V!!!

[CaptainCook]

and one more thing... i've found there are a lot of attys out there that just didn't quite put out enough vapor for me at 4.2 volts (even though i had read they worked great on eGo's), but totally satisfy me at 4.8 to 5 volt'ish.... these attys i had given up on when using eGo's because they just didn't work for me then... but once i started vaping with units that i could bump the voltage up a bit higher than an eGo could go they were totally usable to 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...

Sorry but NO, the eGo is not going to get 3.7v, it is a regulated 3.4v device.

Joye eGo fresh off the charger (no load)

with 2ohm load

with 3ohm load

The eGo bat will stay at those values until it shuts off needing charging.

You got vape!

Lol. Hey ontheset, welcome to ECF

Hello guys, thanx for adding comments to this post, i think it really helps people to decide what to do and not quit vaping, going back to analogs. When i started in 09 didn't know about the forums and what not.
Everything was trial and error.

This is true for the joys eGo but what about all of the knockoffs?

I have two knockoffs and they are 3.7v unregulated.

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

Mentioning wattage seems better than mentioning voltage, which in itself is meaningless without mentioning the ohm rating used. At a standard 3.7V with a 1.7ohm, you get the average 8W, which is pretty much around what most vapers use, consciously or not. So if you say 5V and use 1.7 ohm (there's also no price difference if you get the 1.5ohm), you'll get 14W, while a 3 ohm carto will give you 8.3W. Quite a significant difference.

Thing about it is 3ohm cartos are not widely used, thus are not carried by many vendors. The most common now are the 2.0 and 1.7/1.5s dual/single. So when people say they're using 5V, is it assumed that it doesn't matter what ohm rating goes with it?

(BTW, I'm not arguing. These are just for the sake of discussions. This is not also directed at kabonk.)

The knockoffs can be anything they want to make them, but they are a knockoff which is not an eGo.
"eGo" is traidmarked and owned by JoyeTech, Ego or EGO is not.

They are sold as 3.7 volt batteries and most vapors don't even know that a Joye eGo has a working voltage of around 3.4. Then when you throw in the knockoffs it gets really confusing. People measure the battery output without a carto and assume it works at 3.7 volts. I read that over and over again on this forum.

Of course it matters. Most of them just don't know the difference.

Mean like volts are the cure for everything vaping, with no understanding that volts have no taste at all.
