question about RBA's and ohm's

[connavar]

so i decided to take the plunge and pick up some rba's, i order an phoenix clone and a chobra , both from discountvapers.com who was awesome on shipping and price btw, thanks so much. on my first go around on the chobra i managed a 2.3 ohm coil and a 2.6 on the phoenix, being new to these my question is.... are these sufficient coils for both of these rba's and what kind of voltage should i be aiming for?

hi connavar,

nice to meet you. i remember that there was this chart on the 'ideal' voltage/wattage that you can vape using the ohm that you've built.i wish i knew how to post it here.BTW, what pv are you running on?

Start low and raise voltage till you get to the vape you like at voltage you like. There is no strict rule, just start low.

right now i am using a volcano lavatube v2.0 at home and a lavatube mini (YJ) at work with a vamo vv/vw on the way.

Here's a link to the chart:

Those ohms sound fine to me. Those ohms will work fine with those pvs as long as the coils are done right. Have you tried them out?

sorry connavar.....tried attaching this but heck i cant seem to find that dang attachment chart. Anyway, here a rough indication on numbers.

Please do note this is merely a guide and you gotta find your sweet spot on this depending on your viscosity and complexity of your juice.

For 2.3ohms - 'ideal' voltage would be 3 to 4 volts and in watts would be 4 to 7 watts


For 2.6ohms - 'ideal' voltage would be 3.2 to 4.2 volts and in watts would be 4.5 to 8 watts

Hope this helps

thanks for the links and the fast replys everyone

Those both sound like sufficient readings to me. Although that's the best thing about RBA's, you rebuild them to your liking and vaping preference. If you want to vape at 8 watts then there is a math equation to figure it out. Assuming you have a VV device. Its

volts squared divided by ohms.. so you would want about 4.3v for the 2.3 ohm coil. 4.3 * 4.3 = 18.49 / 2.3 = 8.03 watts.

Hopefully this is the info you were looking for
