PG/VG/Nic, Coils and Resistance question

[Mattvus]

I just wanted to make sure I had this right so I know where to go from my initial order. If I am mistaken somewhere, please let me know, this is just my understanding from the research I have done. Okay, here goes.

PG=More TH, less vapor, less flavor
VG=Less TH, more vapor, more flavor
More nic=more TH

Single coil=Cooler vapor, less TH, less flavor
Dual coil=Warmer vapor, more TH, more flavor

Higher resistance=Cooler vapor, less TH, less flavor
Lower resistance=Warmer vapor, more TH, more flavor

I know these are just generalizations and voltage is an entirely separate factor, but I'm not going to worry about that right now.

PG gives more flavor, VG dulls flavor.

For single and dual coil, like you said, it depends on the voltage. What PV do you use?
If your using a lower voltage like 3.7V PV or 3.3-3.4V eGo, a single coil will actually give a warmer vape.
For example, a 1.5ohm dual coil is actually two 3.0ohm coils. So those 3.0ohm coils will give a cooler vapor. A 1.5ohm single coil will provide a much warmer vape, even though they are the same resistance. Dual coils kinda suck at lower voltages. A good single coil is just as good if not better, and a dual coil doesn't necessarily mean better flavor

I'm using the 1300mah Echo which runs between 3.3 and 4.2v apparently. The echomizers only come in single or dual coil with no different resistance options but I did pick up some boge cartos at 3 and 2 ohms to try out juices. There are just so many variables involved and I'm trying to keep the cost down initially by not just buying random stuff. I'm probably over thinking the whole thing but that's how I am with everything I do.

PG=More TH, less vapor, less flavor - no - more TH, less vapor, more flavor
VG=Less TH, more vapor, more flavor - no - less TH, more vapor, dulls flavor
More nic=more TH - yes

Single coil=Cooler vapor, less TH, less flavor - no - because you can get them in low resistance
Dual coil=Warmer vapor, more TH, more flavor - yes

Higher resistance=Cooler vapor, less TH, less flavor - no - cooler vapor, TH is nic content, not necessarily less flavor (depends on the flavor itself)
Lower resistance=Warmer vapor, more TH, more flavor - yes

PG - thin, lets through the most flavor, the most nicotine TH, the most nicotine irritation, makes thin vapor
VG - thick, dulls everything PG lets through, makes thicker vapor

Most people use a blend of PG/VG and for many popular methods of vaping (like most cartomizers), thin high PG blends work best.

Coils - if you have a slim ecig you don't have a choice - you use single coil standard resistance 2.5-3 ohm stuff

If you have a 450mah+ device you can use lower ohms which are hotter (note: many will only go below 1.7ohms on a mod and not on an encased mass-produced Ego-style since hte potential exists to kill the battery)

ohms - in general most use ohms from .5 less (barely warm) to 2.2 less (hot) than the voltage. There are wattage tables and calculations you can use but in general that works and is easy to remember.

single coil, single amount of vapor, lower ohms give higher heat

dual coil - the ohms of a dual coil are HALF what the ohms of each coil in it are. So a 2.5 ohm dual coil is actually two 5 ohm coils and will only work on high voltage devices. A 1.5 ohm coil is two standard resistance 3 ohm coils so basically it makes a double amount of barely warm standard standard resistance vapor on a 3.4 (Ego) or 3.7v device, yet the combined ohms are so low that many will only use these on mods. Some use them on Ego-type batteries with no problem a few people do kill batteries with 1.5 ohm stuff. On a 5v device, a 1.5 ohm dual could would produce hot vapor (3 ohm coils on 5v)

NOTE - the lower ohms you use, the faster your battery charge is used.

Okay, starting to understand how everything works together now. Thanks for the corrections.
