SO CONFUSED..Please help!!

Think of it like a pipe with water flowing through it. The smaller the pipe, the more resistance there will be and less volume of water you can get down the pipe. Lower resistance is a bigger pipe you can put more water through.

With a small battery; if you try to pull more current through it by using a low-resistance atty or carto, you could blow the battery, and at the very least will shorten it's life. You need a bigger battery to pull more current through, just like you need a bigger pipe to pull more water through.

Wattage is the amount of power you produce by pushing that current down the given pipe. More wattage is more power which heats the coils hotter producing more, and warmer vapor.

Care to explain the difference between 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 ohm Boge?

Simply put, an "ohm" is a measure of resistance to electric current, and the lower the number, the less the resistance. So for the purpose of e-cigs a 1.5 or 2.0 ohm is considered a Low Resistance (or LR), and a 3.0 is a Standard, or SR. On a small battery about the size of a cigarette, you'll want to stick with the Standard Resistance. I think you'd be okay with a 2.5 ohm or higher but a 3.0 should run longer between charges, and might even last longer before needing to be replaced (though I'm not sure about the latter). Hope that helped!

And for bigger e-cigs like the Ego is it better to have lower resistance (like 1.5 ohm as compared to 3.0 ohms)?

 

[mooreted]

Depends on whether you want a warm vape with lots of vapor and strong throat hit (1.5 Ohm) or you want a cool vape with a mild throat hit (3.0 Ohm).

@mooreted - does that go for mini cigs like the JoyE 510 as well? Because I would like lots of vapor and a strong TH on that as well - would I be better off with 1.5 or 3.0 Ohms for that?

You can't run low resistance on mini ecigs, your battery will die. For low resistance, you need a battery with at least 450 Mah.

Hi Girlintheworld, and welcome to the "dizzying" portion of youe ecig journey....lol. I read your first post and the few in the three pages and heres what i know. If your 510 kit has three functional pieces it will be battery/atomizer/cartridge. If your 510 kit has two functional pieces it will be battery/cartomizer. The 'load' on the 510 should be no lower than about 2.5 ohms. My 510 batteries throw a fit if I vape anything lower than that, I do own a genuine joye 180mAh manual 510. It will run a lower load but the battery life decreases dramatically and well thats just unacceptable in my opinion.

If you are looking at the boge cartos(cartomizers) the easiest way to see it is this. 3.0 ohm should work well on about any 510(180mAh) sized battery, 2.0 ohm works well on a standard(650) eGo sized battery, 1.5 ohm works well on most battery systems at or above 1100mAh. And what is mAh??? Basically put it is a factor of time and output... the battery can provide this many m(illi)A(mperes) in an h(our) before requiring re charging.... in our world the general rule is 100mAh is about an hour without recharging for an average vaper. So in short(not really?) since you have a 510 kit enroute you should be shopping,for now, in the 3ohm area for your current device.

As far as dripping i think that has been explained fairly well so far and if your 510 isnt a three piece you dont need to fret about that whole to drip/not to drip thing. Although i do advise you to try it if the opportunity is available. I have and its nice but like a previous poster said "most of us are too lazy for all that"....me too...
Good Luck. Happy vaping.

helpful is generally the opposite of what I'm going for...
