resistance question for 180/280mAh

[Peter Veneziano]

Hi all, and thanks for reading and thank you for the forums!!

Trying to figure out what's the lowest resistance possible to run on 180/280mAh batts. I've seen some kits use 2.5 ohm on 180mAh and that's the lowest I've seen advertised. I've found some mini 2.5 ohm carts I really want to try. I've killed batteries with 1.7 ohm, lesson learned :/

I've tried searching but, I can't find a solid answer Currently I'm using FIN ecigs (refilling the carto's.) They are pretty alright but the resistance on their carto's are quite high!! I checked them with a volt meter and it's well above 4!!!! Vapor is good but throat hit just isn't there.

Not interested in anything bigger than analog sized batts. I guess I'm a "cig-a-like," and that outweighs any other model choice me.

I wouldn't go below 2.2. Have you found cartos that fit you battery?

When I first used 510 batteries, I used 2.0 ohm cartos with no issues. I can't guarantee that it won't kill your batteries, but mine still work a year later.

Thanks a bunch. I think I'll use 2.5's to be safe!!

Yes, I've found some smoktek mini 2.5ohm with 510 threads. Going to pull the trigger on it then. I'm getting mini carts because I'm tired of the taryn spin and taking 30 mins a day to fill 5 carto's (that last me the day.) I understand with the mini carts you can just drip 10-15 and not have to spin them.

I'll post how they vape in a week or so when they come in!!

The batteries I killed with 1.7ohm were 901, tank attys. They lasted about a month before the charge was short and life was short (20 mins or so,) so don't do it!!

I've used those mini smoktech cartos. I liked them a lot. They looked great on a 510 battery.
