Here you go Tiff! I found it JUST for you!!!

Well, I got bored, so I felt like turning nerd hour back on. AAAAND here is your answer. Yes, a dc 1.5 ohm carto WILL pull 24 watts (assuming the battery can handle it). Each coil must drop the full 6v if they are wired in parallel. At 6v, your total circuit current is divided equally over each coil (assuming they are exactly the same resistance). So, since you have two 3ohm coils in parallel, the battery sees a total circuit resistance of 1.5ohms, leaving you with a total circuit current of 4amps, with each coil drawing 2amps each. Now, each coil at 6v, 3ohms, 2amps, gives you 12 watts per coil. Current in parallel circuits is additive. So, the battery does see 24watts. Which is why most people will say dont use a dc over 4v or so.

Look! I even took the time to make a not so purdy piktur!!!


ummm... gimmie a minute to get the picture up.

HERE is the picture:

gadabout what kinda Les Paul is that in your avatar (me drummer, guitars confuze me) ?

im a drummer primarily..but play bass..guitar..and keys too. the guitar in the avatar is my schecter hellraiser solo 6 with zakk wylde active emg's with push pull coil taps..love her!! i ave a silverburst paul..(again..love tool) sold my sonor kit about 6 months ago. getting a catalina gretsch kit!

Roger that !!! I'm not doing any neato black box work, and seldom see much troubleshooting beyond tossing parts, installing new, and praying it works.

Ahhhhh, you have peaked mah curious-ness regarding parallel circuits and DC cartos. Sadly (and ironically), I have no clue how they work and/or are wired. Two coils in series ?? Parallel (I'm guessing from your mention). I've actually struggled to explain parallel resistance to some co-workers. Well I should say THEY struggled to comprehend it.

HAHA! Ask and you SHALL RECEIVE!!!

The comments that followed that post from Bliss and Stretchy still make me laugh...

IT BETTER !!!!!!! because I'm only in town tomorrow and have to go outta town the following day, and may not be able to CCChat (unless someone tells me how to install TapTalk and use a smartphone for forums).

Folks, y'all have a good night. The missus just turned the tv off. I think that means its bed time.

silverburst!!!! ahhh..tool!

I snagged the pic off the net but mines identical. 74 les paul custom.

Very nice. Easy to read, and understand.

Ahhhhh, I love bursts, and thatas nice one.

Do we have any PRS fans in the house ?

I've got hammer fingers, and even with my widescreen Moto, I can't type to save my life on the phone. I may try though, I just may..........

I took the photo bucket app off my phone. I'll have to look for it tomorrow. Night all

For Janie and others. Here is a handy-dandy chart to help with voltage selection. Check your ohm resistance on your ProVari, then check the chart. Set your voltage as close to 8 as you can for best results. Example: If your atty/clearo/nova head reads 2.0 ohms on your ProVari check, set your voltage at 4. Easy as that. Edit: Okay chart is a little small, so here is a link to full size.

Also...lol...here is an Ohms Law calculator which is totally awesome. Put in the wattage you want to vape at (8 for me) and the atty resistance (ohmss)...zero the other two fields out, click calculate and bingo! It tells you exactly the volts to set it at.

Edit: Make sure you put the drop down current box on milliamps.
