FV these juices are sooo good. I haven't been able to actually vape all of them I'm out of Provari's and tanks.But just from dabbing a drop on my tongue.I have to say they are all STELLAR. I LOVE the African Dance. It's wonderful.I did have a tank left for the PINA COLADA and all I can say is WOW!!!Better than I remembered it even.

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??
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. :facepalm:

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.

best to find a set up you like, fill it with cc juice and vape away!
Truer words were never spoken!

Ive actually set House aside for the night. Ive already gone thru 2 cartos of it today. Current vapage of choice is one of FV's tanks filled with Cranberry on top of a Roughstack at 3.7!

See...now this is what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Nice...ty very much for taking the time....and still pretty scary I was doing that. I've stopped, fyi. ;)

Perception is definitely in play there, and I don't know that I was looking to get THAT hot of a vape...I was just using the 6v and 1.5ohm together, as thats what I had available at one point. I think once you reach a certain point, the heat generated really kills off most of the flavor, which is oddly enough, another post I had in a different thread...this would explain why I didn't really taste much coming out of those. Go figure.

:) :) Thanks again for the follow up.

Stop it James my head will blow up.

I don't see any legs..I see a bunch of foreign language and a big yellow circle.
Huh??
