Question about ohms on MVP

[Lord Cardigan]

Hi ECF, have a question presumably someone can answer.

I have an MVP 2.0 which I have been using with a rda - an Igo W.

Currently been running it at 1 - 1.2 ohms as a dual coil rig with 32 Kanthal. What I am wondering is, what would be the optimum resistance for increased vapor/hit/ flavor? Should I be going for higher ohms and thus more surface area?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Higher power and thus more heat to the coil, or lower ohms and thus more heat, will result in more vapor. Higher ohms will result in less heat regardless of the surface area of the coil.

Using a regulated mod like the MVP, you will be limited by the MVP's amp limit, its inability to fire a coil much below 1.0 ohm, and inability to output more than 5 volts. To fire a coil less than 1.0 ohm (sub-ohm), you need to get either a mechanical mod or a dna regulated mod capable of putting out 20+ watts of power.

You could use a higher vg ratio in your e-liquids to get more vapor production with your current setup. Otherwise, the resistance you are building your coils to is spot on for what you are using.

Oh, that's easily sorted then. Thanks!

So, update.
Perhaps this might be useful to someone else, but I tried for the hell of it building a dual coil setup running at 2.3 ohms precisely. Now, it may not be just the resistance, but my lord I get a much more potent vape; definitely twice the flavor and vapor, hits a lot harder too. I'm thinking it's the increased surface area of the coils, but who knows. Point is, it's great.

Nice. Are you using the same voltage output as you were with the lower ohm coils?
