Power Question-Help please

[AttyPops]

Well, yeah. It gets complicated fast. Basically remember this forumla:

Watts = Voltage squared divided by ohms..... (P = V*V/R)

BUuuuuuuT... that's theoretical. It assumes the device can supply the needed power. Most people like around 7 or more watts. To get 7 watts out of a 3.4 device:

Ohm's Law Calculator

3.4 volts on a 1.5 ohm single coil atty/carto gives you 7.70667 watts.

There have been warnings about the 1.5 ohm stuff frying eGo style units... but I think those were concerns of the past. As far as I know it's OK now.

OTOH... for 3.7 volt devices ... I'd use 2.0 ohm single coils.

A variable voltage device will open up a wider variety of devices you can vape on and will enhance your overall experience. I went all the way and bought a provari but an ego twist will do pretty much the same thing as far upping your voltage.

So my ego c can handle the CE2's? and I can take them apart and put it right into my 3.5 tank?
How many ohms should I get they have multiple models? I'm still a bit confused how all that works too, watts to ohms to volts

What tank do you have? Link?

1.5 Ohm, I believe. When I put in a new carto I prime it with 40 drops in the open end and 6 in the other end then I put it in my tank and fill the tank. I do it the same every time and sometimes it just burns out really fast like that same day.

You are running each coil in that DCC at 4.8 watts. That is not hot enough to keep them clean, so your cartos plug up really fast.

Could it be the way you are filling the tank? Here is a video that may help. I use the 1.7 ohm single punch cartos and they work great in the dct.

Tj... can you confirm that the ego-c is 3.4 ish volts (I know it's PWM..but...)?

There are basically 3 different "C" batteries
#1 3.4v
#2 switchable between 3.4 & 3.7v
#3 VV from 3.3 to 4.8v

Swap your leads around.

Actually that's the manufacturers logo

No your meter shows -3.39 volts

Polarity notwithstanding........

How do we know what model he has then? Hey Sword......?!?!?!?!?!
