Questions reguarding power settings.

[nelska]

My available settings.
vw: 6-11
vv: 3.3-5
Ohm's and Joule's Law Calculator
so, I have one tank at 1.5 ohms and one at 2.0 ohms.

i run the 1.5 ohms tank at 4.0volts on wattage mode set to 10.5 watts.
and the 2.0 ohms tank at 4.8 volts on wattage mode set to 11 watts.

This is the dilemma.. I want to run the 1.5 ohms tank at 4.8 volts but set to that it calls for ~15 watts.
Which the mvp doesnt provide, so here's the question.. Should I just stick to 2.0 ohm tank or risk the overlying ampage?

Because 2.0 ohms rounds out on an itaste mvp2.0.
And if none of this isnt making any sense please feel free to reply with anything that would help. lol, thanks.

The 1.5 ohm is normally set a 3 volts with a wattage of 6. Why do you want to run it at 15 watts? I would think it'd taste burnt. The 2 ohm is normally set at 4 volts with a wattage of 8. I checked this info with your Ohm's and Joule's Law Calculator.

 

[nelska]

no im saying i would run the 1.5ohms at 4.8 volts and ~6 watts IF it could contain 15 watts but it cant it can only contain 11.

And the other tank was 2.4ohms not 2.0ohms sorry for the confusion.

 

[nelska]

Ok, so.. Im running the 1.5 ohms at 4.0 volts using the wattage setting at 6 watts.

 

[DetraMental]

I see. Unfortunately the MVP2 is limited to 11 watts. The VTR however goes up to 15 watts as does the Vamo. You can only set one of the two, watts or voltage, not both at the same time.

 

[nelska]

aaaand.. The 2.4 ohms at 5 volts using the wattage setting at 6 watts.

 

[nelska]

right, not that big of a deal, really. well, I say that because I don't quite know what's best when it comes to ohms.
I guess that would be a simple question.. What would be better for producing larger clouds high ohms or low ohms? Or does it matter?

 

[nelska]

And also, the battery itself fully charged is 4.2volts.

So, I guess my best bet here is to run a 1.5ohms tank at no higher than 4 volts on wattage mode, at any level.

 

[DetraMental]

What type of topper are you using? Drippers usually put out the clouds, if you could build one at around 1.2 ohms it'll work on the MVP2. I'm sure someone better versed in making clouds will be along to help you out, Good Luck and Happy Vaping!

 

[nelska]

yeh, sorry for the confusion. lol.

so lower ohms are better for bigger long lasting hits then? Thanks.

 

[dice57]

crank the 1.5 as high as she'll go, only going to do 11 watts. Time to grow some bigger ones me thinks.

Think my highest build is like 1.4 ohms, but still vape it at 30 watts. Most mine are at 0.7 ohms or lower.

Sounds like your are ready for some more studying and then the upgrade trail you go... off you go, to the wild vape yonder,....



Vape long and Prosper.!!!

On all VV/VW APV's you are either vaping in watt mode or voltage mode, whichever you adjusted last is the mode it is in.
You cannot adjust both w and v at the same time, it is one or the other.

When you over power the delivery device you will notice a burnt taste.
Pick watts or volts, start off at a low power and work your way up until you find the vape quality you're looking for, if/ when you get a burnt taste turn it down.

 

[nelska]

I just don't like over clocking any variable, so with a tank with a resistance of 1.5ohms, 4volts and 10.5watts are the caps.
so at 4 volts anything around 8-10.5 watts hits perfectly. Depending on the life of the battery.

You want to put 4.8 volts on your 1.5 ohm? Well do it! What's the problem?

Just try it.

current required is 4.8/1.5 = 3.2 amps.
That's not so high.

11 watts is just the highest power you can set for it, but you might get more power with a low resistance and a high voltage.

As said above, with the MVP it's either watts or volts. With 1.5ohm resistance @ 5.0 volts, it's equivalent to 16.67 watts. When you're in watts mode it's like auto mode ... the MVP will automatically set the volts based on your watts level and the resistance. If you have a Smart Cell phone, go to Play Store and download the App "Vapor's Toolbox" It has a power tool segment that you can plug in the ohm resistance & watt's to show what Volts your vaping at ... and the reverse is true, you can set ohms resistance & volts and it will tell you what watts you're vaping at.

You are over thinking this. Set the thing close to what you believe you will like, try it, adjust to taste. There will be no mathematical formula that will tell you a setting tastes right. Choose a reasonable wattage, adjust if you like and enjoy - mostly enjoy.

 

[nelska]

Thanks guys for all the information/responses. If there is one thing I do know though it's my preference of wattage mode over voltage. Thanks.

 

[Bunnykiller]

aaaand.. The 2.4 ohms at 5 volts using the wattage setting at 6 watts.

if its set in watt mode, you cant set the voltage, and in volt mode you cant set the wattage

but here is the math to figure it out
V (squared) / R = W
(5X5)/2.4 = 10.4 W
