Kat, thank you for being kind enough to share your knowledge. I'm so new to the tanks and cartos and at first it seems very confusing. It appears from your reply that the 3.0 ohm cartos are longer lasting and you have a wider range to adjust the vape. Does it affect the battery life and most of all does it make the vape better tasting?
I think the reason I've been with clearomizers is from looking at sites who sell cartos and tanks. Sizes, ohms, 510, 810, etc.
Oh yes I do know you start vaping at a low wattage or voltage. Learned that from IB Tanked.
Speed, my pleasure! I realize that I'm in a small crowd here, meaning that most iTaste VV owners are of the newer vaping sect, rather than veteran vapers. I do see the value in this device, even for someone who has been vaping for awhile. As a vet, I see it as a FANTASTIC back up device, and equally useful as an out and about one. I'm not sure how much knowledge I have to offer, but whatever I've got, I'm more than pleased to share.
ALL of it seems confusing at first. Believe me, I was there, too. My first start up kit came with a 510 atomizer and a CARTRIDGE (no, not a karto... no, not a clearo) and a stick (cigalike) battery.
That was all I knew. I ended up dripping for a full year before finally deciding I could handle the "fuss" of a karto. It took another 6 months or so before I ventured into the world of tanks. Initially, I thought they were the most gross thing I'd seen. I detested seeing the vliquid swimming around on top. Now? LOL. Now I wouldn't have it any other way.
The confusion will diminish. You'll slowly begin to understand an ohm from a volt, and a 510 from an 801. Then, suddenly, it'll rear its ugly face again, as new and improved mods and toppers hit the market. It's the way of the vape.
Yes, higher resistance kartos do last longer, and put less stress on a battery. However, with VW, we don't need to worry about that. That was more the case for the old 3.7v only devices. Will they make your vape taste better? Yes, and no. That's totally between you and your taste buds.
Are you familiar with Ohm's Law? Talk about confusing! If you're not, you're bound to look at it and say, WHAT?? But little by little, it will make sense.
This chart may help.... or give you a headache.
