screw on cartomizer?

[AlmityPunx]

ok i am new to vaping and have an aquavapor 510 and noticed that the cartomizers have flathead screw on top... what is this for? i think i killed one by screwing it...

also, whats the difference of voltages? i mean, is it for flavor, vapor production... total newbie here

If you are refering to the screw in the middle of the carto where it screws into your device, that's so you can adjust the amount of air bleed. Turn it one way to make the draw tighter, you have to inhale harder or the other to make the draw easier. If you turn it too far you can close it and get very little if any air or the other way make it very airy. You do have to be careful as sometimes this can break the electrical contact if turned too far.
If you think this is the case test it with an ohm meter.

I'm not too keen on numbers but heres some simple answers, I'm no expert though

Higher Mah (milliamps per hour) means how much power the battery can send out, I think it also means how long it can last.

Resistance is for the heating element, the lower the resistance the harder it is for electricity to travel, which is vented as heat.

I just keep it simple and order standard parts because I have no idea about compatibility and don't want to blow my teeth out lol.

ya i think i twisted it too far... upon further disection i noticed the wire was broken... at least its not an expensive thing to replace

thanks david... im all about keeping it simple too!

Here's a simple explanation of voltage, ohms and watts, as they relate to vapor and flavor.

Watts = heat. Most people like to vape between 6 and 10 watts. Too much heat (watts) can make some flavors, like fruits and delicate flavors taste burnt. Too few watts and your vapor is weak and cold.

Volts = the voltage of your battery. For most e-cigs it averages 3.7V

Ohms = The resistance of your carto or atty. Expressed in ohms

Simple third grader formula.

Volts X Volts / Ohms = Watts

3.7V x 3.7V / 3ohms = 4.6 Watts. Too cool. Weak Vapor

3.7V x 3.7V / 1.5ohms = 9.1 Watts. Pretty warm. Good vape. Might be too warm for some flavors.

3.7V x 3.7V / 2ohms = 6.8 Watts. Getting closer. Good vape with lighter flavors.

3.7V x 3.7V / 1.7ohms = 8 Watts. You're golden for most juice.

Choose your cartomizer resistance to produce the proper wattage for your taste and the juice you vape.

If you have a variable voltage PV, you can change the voltage instead of the ohms and that will change your watts.

thanks sailorman for the info...

vaping has way more decisions than analogs!
used to be just regular / menthol
camel / newport
light / regular...

all i had to do was go say "2 packs camel silver please" at my 7-11
