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.Thank you for the link to the ohm calc, Sallie...but I do have one question for those that may know...
If I have a 1.5 Ohm DC carto...they're wired in parallel, correct...so the resistance that I would put into the calc would be the circuits resistance, which is true 1.5 ohm, and not the single coil resistance of 3 Ohm from each coil, right?
If my calcs are correct, if I slap a dual coil 1.5 ohm carto on my 6v mod...I'm pulling 24W?? Is that right??
Truer words were never spoken!best to find a set up you like, fill it with cc juice and vape away!
See...now this is what I'm talkin' 'bout!FV, if this is getting too far off topic, please say so.
jds, yes thats true. I may have misunderstood some of what was asked, I admit, I just skimmed through a page or two, but the question posed was would a 1.5dc carto at 6v pull 24watts. Simply put, the answer is yes, assuming the battery can take it. Now, how that 24watts on the dc translates to perceived vaping experience to the user compared to a 1.5dc carto at 3.7v pulling a little over 9watts, would be just that. Perception. Personally, Ive seldom wandered anywhere near 6v. I tend to vape at 5v or less and every carto I have is in the 2.5-3.0 ohms. So, I have no way to condemn or condone the argument of perceived power.

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:![]()
Huh??I don't see any legs..I see a bunch of foreign language and a big yellow circle.
