Questions about setup

[ewith1999]

Hi. I bought an E-go C Upgrade kit a few months ago. I like it but want something that has a stronger (and would use the ego as a spare battery).

I have an issue with the tanks as they don't last longer than a week (sometimes only about 4 or 5 days). I tried a rebuildable tank (plastic) with wicks and it broke (looked like a glue problem) so now I am back to the disposable tanks (don't know the name of them - the wick is at the top though). Maybe I should buy a glass tank? I would like the tanks to be interchangeable between the new ecig I buy. Maybe I should pick up an E-go twist? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I usually recommend the Vamo to people who ask me. I've moved on to Provari and Reos but you'll still catch me with my Vamo once in a while because it's so solid and versatile.

I loved my Vision Spinners for a bit, they are pretty solid just take forever to charge.

Kanger protank (2) is my favorite entry-level tank hands down. Even with stock heads it produces good flavor and vape. Vision makes some pyrex vivi novas that are pretty decent with up to 50/50 juice. I never was able to get high VG juice to wick well in the vivi nova. The vivi novas also seem to be less sensitive to leakage and gurgleage (with the stock heads) if you keep them at different angles (in your pocket for instance).

Hi and welcome. If you have some spare time, have a look into cartomizers and pyrex tanks. After the switch, I'd never go back to a bottom coil clearomizer (BCC). Just my two cents. Good luck and have fun!

Ok. I can use them on a ego battery? I bought a new tank online and it didn't fit (not even if I would have bought a adapter). LOL

I will look into the Kanger protank! Thanks!

Um...1.8 ohm or 2.2? Total newb question - what does the higher resistance mean? Going to google.

 

[ewith1999]

Yep, got it now.

ok so lets pretend the heating coil, is a garden hose with water running thought it. the water represents the flow of electrons.
Voltage is the water pressure inside the hose
Amps is the speed the water is moving at
Ohms is the resistance caused by friction.
it takes 1 volt to push 1 amp through 1 ohm.
if we know 2 of the variables say the volts and the amps we can calculate the third variable in this case the ohms. much like how you can calculate one side of a triangle if you know the length of the other two sides and the angle as which they meet.
so now your thinking why is this important??? well we want to know the power that is being made from a setup. the unit of power you will most commonly see the Watt. if you use a coil with a lower Resistance or ohms you will need less Volts to get the same amount of power (watts) as compared to a coil with a high resistance.
so lets look at some data, it will give you a visual reference.
3.7 Volts with a 1.5 ohm coil = 9.1 watts of power
3.7 volts with a 3.0 ohm coil = 4.5 watts of power
5.4 volts with a 3.0 ohm coil = 9.7 watts of power

so we can see the comparison and a pattern here. if you use a coil with higher ohms you must have more volts to get the same amount of power when compared to coils with lower ohms.

Yep. Refreshed myself with ohm's law earlier, but thanks for the post!

I think I will go with the ego twist. I like the ego I have...just know I need another one in case this one dies. Thanks for the suggestions!

its no problem is a question that comes up everyday around here.

Can't go wrong with a simple ego twist in my opinion, it's a great all around pv

You'll be happy with the twist.

I like the Vivi nova mini (2ml). It's pretty sturdy. Top coil like the one you probably have. 1.8 ohms will work fine with your batteries too.
You wont be able to turn the voltage up more than halfway on the twist with 'em. Comes with 2 spare heads.
