trying to get a grasp of how these things work.

I have one ce4 that wont work in my vtr--its like vtr wont accept it even I set volts all the way down--when I connect that same ce4 to my ego it works fine. does that have something to do with the ohms and that stuff?? my next order will include an ohms meter so I can at least test as people suggest.

does the tank used dictate what voltages and wattages can be used> or is that more liquid dependant?

really i need a vaping for idiots guide to explain the various relationships between--tanks-ohms-volts-watts-and liquids

Sounds like the connectors between the clearo and the VTR aren't making proper electrical contact. More than likely the VTR's center post (which connects to the battery) is too short. They are semi-adjustable. A small jeweler's screw driver or tweezers can be used to gently pry the center pin upwards enough to make connection.

I had this same problem with my Innokin iTaste MVP. With mine, clearos worked fine, but the MVP wouldn't accept my cartotanks. Pulling the center pin up a little allowed the cartos to work, too.

Here is the relationship between "volts", "amps", and "watts". Start with the basic electronics facts: It takes a force of one volt to push a current of one amp through a resistance of one ohm. (Ohms Law)

The battery supplies the voltage (pressure) as well as the amps (electron flow). It is the coil (resistance) that controls the amount of flow (amps). The flow (amps) can also be reduced if there is NOT good connections between the various parts (additional resistance).

The last formula (fact) offered is "power". One volt causing one amp to flow through one ohm is one watt.
