Flavor was certainly more pronounced in the nano over the micro (if you can believe that's even possible lol), vapor was a bit thicker, and since its a smaller amount of coil than even a micro, (of course, adjust the kanthal gauge to find the ohms you want it at), its certainly a more "responsive" vape too. I found I didnt have to do a primer fire on it to get the same vape as I would on a regular or a micro.

And yup, cotton. Silica would never be able to keep up with it.

Wow! I really didn't know what to believe when I read/saw that on the YT. This will be my next try for sure. Thanks so much for the info.

Volts don't drain a battery, amp load does:

P = power (watts)
V = volts
R = resistance
I = current (amps) I forgot why it's "I"



Voltage x voltage ÷ resistance (ohms) = power (watts)

Voltage ÷ resistance (ohms) = I (current/amps)

Hi- res:
4.9v²/3.0Ω = 8.0 watts
4.9v/3.0Ω = 1.6 amps

Lo-res:
3.7v²/1.7Ω = 8.0 watts
3.7v/1.7Ω = 2.2 amps

Even though a 3.0Ω atty at 4.9v and a 1.7Ω atty at 3.7v are producing the same amount of watts, when vaping lo-res the amps increase, which draws more from the battery.

Since 8 watts is 8 watts, an average vaper probably isn't going to notice a difference in the temperature of their vape, but they may notice the battery charge doesn't last as long.

EDIT-reread again and sry, I think I did flip it accidentally. Now gotta read again!!! LMAO!

well we were talking about two different things, my fault, I wasn't following the thread very closely.
on a VV, assuming the electronics are perfect with no losses (which is impossible), more watts will drain the battery faster. and the same watts will drain the battery in the same time.
1 amp at 10 volts == 10 amps at 1 volt == 10W.
But with the VV, it might be less efficient producing higher voltage, so even though in your examples, both being 8W output, in theory they will drain the battery in the same time, in practice, they probably won't. But that's not a function of ohms law, it's because the electronics aren't perfect and have losses.

practical experience trumps theoretical equations, if you say a high ohms coil on a VV drains the battery faster, then it does. you can't prove that with a simple equation.

Agreed, but it was an example based on all things being equal. I get it is more than likely not equal. I guess in the simplest terms, and again may not be accurate or true, I've read around ECF that those with sensitivity to harshness and warm vapes seem to prefer higher ohms and stay way from lo-res (1.8 and below)

It's worth a try just replacing some coils and testing if Evie had some on hand.
