This chart should help with selecting the right resistance cartomizer or cartridge based on the voltage of your PV. I made some minor changes to my original worksheet.

Cells that can be changed include.
1.) min p or minimum wattage
2.) max p or maximum wattage
3.) resistance axis
4.) voltage axis

minP:
The lower limit or MinP is the minimum power level needed to create a usable vapor. The lower the value the colder the vapor. The default level of 4 means anything below this value will not create enough vapor or even a cold vapor.

maxP:
The upper value or maxP is the maximum power level that can be used without burning or damaging the cartomizer/atomizer. The higher the value the warmer the vapor. The default value(8.5) should be good enough for most applications but can be changed if you notice your cartomizers burning out prematurly. And dont we all hate that. :)

Voltage axis:
Select the voltage of your battery from the upper row of the chart below. The default values can be changed if you have a battery with a voltage not listed. If you have a variable voltage PV you could input several voltage points within the range of your battery.

Resistance axis(Ohms):
The default resistance values or Ohms should match the cartomizers available for purchasing. The chart allows you to change the default values. Low resistance cartomizers usually range from 1.2 to 2.4ohms and anything else above 2.4Ohms is considered average resistance or a high resistance carto's.

Once the voltage range, minP, maxP and cartomizer/atomizer resistance values have been selected you are ready to read the chart. To begin I have a battery with a 3.2 volt output. The range applicable to me is within the column directly below the 3.25 volt value. Red cells mean you are vaping to hot and yellow cells mean you are vaping to cold(we establised these borders with min and max P). In order for me to vape at the highest power level I select the green cell with the highest value(7.04w). If I liked a colder vape I might have selected the 4.8w green cell. Now all I do is look to the left of the green cell I selected and find the resistance value. In my case a 1.5ohm carto is needed to match my battery and vapor preference(warmest).

Happy vaping!

Thanks so much for all the great advice!
I was reading a thread that suggested the vendors supply more info on their sites as to the details of using lower/ higher ohms at different volts and how it effects the vape experience. I have seen alot of folks looking for the same info.
wouldn't take up too much space on a site, would only need to be done once and would be so helpful as people are experimenting with different ohms etc... just my :2c:

Thanks for the time you've put into this, atomizer mixer - much appreciated! (I'm surprised there are so few 'likes')

I mainly use a variable power device (an Aussie modder who's an electronics whiz makes them) and have learnt by experience that I prefer different juices at different wattages. So while I set wattage and the device sorts out voltage, it didn't take long to realise that difference ohm/voltage combinations do make a difference to taste, vapour etc, even at the same power/wattage setting. (but admit to only doing the calculations when I can be bothered, even though I find it interesting! )
So you've given me a really handy, useful tool to compare ranges - ta!

So here's cheers, and happy vapin' to ya! :toast:
