Variable Voltage Advice for EVODs

[Javamon]

Ok, my learning - and fun continues.

First - I never thought I'd want a variable voltage battery. I'm a simple guy. I just want to vape and enjoy.

Anyway, I bought a passthrough cable. No battery. Just a passthrough gizmo cable connected via USB. But - it has variable voltage - 3.0v, 3.6v, 4.2v, 4.8v.
Tried it with 3.0v. Good. Tried 3.6v. Really, really good. Stopped there.

I don't want the largest, warmest vapes. I just want good vapes at a level where I am not unnecessarily wearing out the head/coil.
I also don't want any additional risks associated with higher heats. Please suggest a cruising voltage for an EVOD tank. Is 3.6v a good choice?
Won't I go through coils quicker at higher voltages? Isn't there more a risk of burning at higher voltages?

Thanks.

I hit 4v's all day bro. Try it, you might agree as well!

I use to use a nautilus 1.8Ω at 3.8 - 4.2 v all the time.

Your tank and preference will decide what you like.

A good starting point recommendation for a starting voltage setting is adding 2 to the coil resistance, so for a 1.8 coil start at 3.8 and adjust for taste.

'Burning' your coil (unless yours is defective) at that voltage range is actually ejuice residue collecting on the coil as you vape. The degree of residue collection is influenced more by the ejuice you use (darker/sweeter = more residue in general) than a slight change in voltage.

Look up cleaning and dry burning your coil and you won't have to worry about even that!

Do what tastes best and gives you the most satisfaction!

Unless you are buying replacement heads and know the resistance,
EVOD tanks ship with random different resistances most are at 2.4 but could be higher or lower depending on what coil they shoved in it.
Best to get a tester http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QHPHSJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That way you can test both the tank and the passthru.
I would guess 4v is probably right

Good advice. Thank you.

I have watched some coil burn videos. I understand it. But - doesn't that also wear/burn the wick? I'm not yet at the point of replacing wicks and coils, so when they are done, for the time being I will be discarding and replacing. One of the challenges there is - my eyes. Second is - my now unsteady hands.

If dry burning the coil doesn't also age out the wick, I'll do that.

Thanks. I am using 1.8 ohm coils.
