Resistance confusion for eGo twist

[sarahhonald]

I use an eGo Twist and my sweet spot is at 4.2. I have been using basic clearo's but just ordered an [FONT=arial, sans-serif]Kanger eVod - Bottom Coil Changeable Cartomizer and was confused on 2.5[/FONT]ohms[FONT=arial, sans-serif](SR) vs 1.8 ohms(LR) [/FONT]Coil replacement. Which one is best for my ego twist...Just trying to make sense of it all.

Thanks!!!!

With the twist being VV you can use either. I use a Vivi Nova with 2.4 head on my Spinner between 4.3 and 4.6 volts depending on the juice. I also have 1.8ohm heads for my manual batteries when my spinner is charging.

2.5 ohm works best on 4.3v - 4-4v. Going any higher will taste burnt and eventually burn out your coil and wick . I don't know what the SR LR is though. Don't think it matters.

Your sweet spot may change with different ohms. Lower ohms need less voltage, higher ohms need more. Adjust to taste.

SR - standard resistance
LR - low resistance

If the twist is the only thing you're going to put it on, then I'd recommend the higher ohms. This will draw less current off your battery, and it will longer without needing to be recharged.

If you have a non-VV device that you may put it on, then I'd go with the 1.8ohms.

Either will work on the twist, and you'll just compensate for the ohm rating by adjusting the voltage until it tastes right (probably around 4.2-4.6 for the SR, or 3.3-3.9 for the LR).

Someone made a spreadsheet chart on finding the best resistance to use for a given voltage/wattage called the Safe Vaping Power Chart. Here is an article that he wrote which includes the chart:

the easiest way for me is to basically double the ohms to get the right voltage - dunno how accurate this method is and don't rly care, seems to work well, so for ex for a 1.8 ohm atty the ideal voltage is anywhere between 3.5 and 4.1 volts. anything higher will torch it and under 3.4 will yield little to no vapor. i use 2.4 ohm vivi heads @ 4.7 volts on my spinner and its poifect.

Thanks so much for all the input!!!

All good advice above, I prefer a 2.5. I agree with Darkhood, except the higher your ohms, it is more like a 1.8 X ohms (for 2.5) or 1.9 X ohms (for 2.2) IMHO. I start there and adjust. The more PV, the less volts I prefer, I generally start at the guidelines above and gradually crank my twist up until it starts to taste burnt when trying a new flavor.

yep that's why i gave outlines...minus .2 volts on either side is a good rule so 1.8 ohms = 3.4 to 3.8 volts generally (altho personally I rock a 1.8 atty @ 4.2 but that's cuz its bridgless and special designed to eat my ignorance lol). on that note 306 bridgless dripping atty from smartvapes = wise investment if ur a nooberies. ul get the hang of it, its ok to go lower than recommended cuz nothing will happen except ul get no vapor - going past 2.2 x is a risk of burny throat time tho.

for SR on my twist, my sweet spot seems to be 4.1-4.3v
fo LR -> 3.4-3.9v

 

[denali_41]

you are going to have to hook it up and adjust the volts ,till you find your sweet spot for the juice ,plain and simple

it is different for everybody !!

 

[Phil McRotch]

My LR sweet spot for boge cartos seems to be around 4 - 4.2V.. my sweet spot for 1.8 mini vivi heads... around 3.8 - 4.0.

When I wrap my own VN coils.. 3.4 - 3.6V

I have two twist one 2.5 ohm boge at 4.0 using smooth & cool juice 85pg 15 vg 18 nic. and one 2.5 boge at 3.2 v with a dragon blood juice 18 nic think 70/30 mix if I use higher this juice taste burnt. These have be going about 20 days now.
