Variable voltage/wattage device

[soba1]

Yeah, I'm not arguing at all that the Provari is a great PV, but if you're spending the money on a kayfun, you can definitely afford the mod that was designed around it..and you may even have the patience to deal with getting one..

Not trying to bring in the fanboi-ism as well.
But what I found simple like was suggested when I started threads with all the questions
like this lol
Adjust voltage wattage accoring to taste, k=eep i=t s=imple s=ir.
I wrecked my brain trying to figure it out then I figured what the hey

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've seen this chart posted everywhere as the "go to" reference for vaping.

I also can't tell you how many vapors look at that chart and laugh out loud, ask most rebuilders they'll tell you that chart is garbage. I don't vape within their green area that's fur sure. In fact some of my vapes aren't even calculated within that chart at all.

Agreed!!...............

It's really just a matter of which mathematical formula is the easiest for you to wrap your head around. There seems to even be an abundance of folks that would rather adjust resistance these days.

Ohms Law is a circle, and simple to manipulate once you understand it.

Ok so I'm jumping in then. Why do some people prefer higher ohms over lower?

A lower resistance, unless it's a dual coil, will produce a warmer vape.

The OP asked I have a itaste vv 3.0 as do I. A $50 vv/vw device.

Does this $50.00 itaste vv 3.0 change the voltage on different ohm clearo's once the wattage is set. I don't care at this point about the Provari.

Thank you

^lol..you shouldn't. Yes, since resistance and voltage are the changing factors you'll be concerned with, changing the resistance on a VW mod will automatically adjust the voltage accordingly.

Cool thanks SuspectK

You can make both do the same thing once you understand how ohms law works. Again "which is easiest to wrap your head around" (and what you are using) All kinds of things come into play; top coil or bottom coil, micro coils or sub ohm coil, atties, cartos, or clearos , RDA, RBA, or Gennie... any of which might make you want to adjust the voltage, wattage, or resistance.

Not true at all, I can achieve the same vape I get at .7 ohms at 2.0 ohms simply by altering the voltage.

Or the wattage. Again, the resistance won't care which mathematical formula you use, the result will be the same.

Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks

It's called "Ohm's LAW" for a reason.

Your response gave me a clue as what to look for.
I changed to a low resistance head on my tank this morning.
It seems to produce a softer vape not as harsh as the higher ohms.
Trying to find that permanent sweet spot.

This is the simplest way I know to think of the whole volts, ohms, watts thing.

Voltage is electrical power produced by you PV battery.

Ohms is simply a measure of resistance. While the coil of an atty, tank, carto, etc is an ok conductor of that electrical power, every conductor produces an amount of resistance (measured in ohms) The higher the ohm, the higher the resistance, hence lower wattage, and less heat from the coil. The lower the ohm, the lower the resistance, hence the higher the wattage.

Wattage is the end result of your PV's electrical power after passing through the resistance of your atty, tank, carto, etc. If you have a particular ohm coil, but want more heat from your coil, your only choice is to increase the voltage. If you have a VW device, it will do this for you. It's like telling your PV, "ok PV I want this much heat from my coil, and I don't care what voltage you have to use to make it happen."

Another way to think about it is to compare it to horse power vs brake horse power (stay with me here).

Horse power = power your engine creates
Brake horse power= the power you get after drag from an engine's drive train

In this example the PV battery is your engine, the atty, tank, etc is your drive train, and the wattage produced is the braking horse power.

I don't know if that helped or made it worse, but I hope it helped.
