Variable Voltage? What For?

[CJ Garcia]

Hi guys, im planing on buying this for my next step of vaping $25.36 Authentic Innokin iTaste CLK 1280 VV 1280mAh Rechargeable Battery - w/ charging cable / brass + stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping it says it has variable voltage, now why do i need that for? kinda confused here.

thanks

To increase the power..

That mod/eGo works on Volts. Some work on Watts, some on both.

So - if you want to turn up your vapor, off you go.

Variable voltage means you can the voltage from 3.7 - 4.2 they have this so you can adjust the voltage to your liking.

thanks, but im still kinda confused, isn't it the vapor based on the PG of the liquid? or the more power the more vapor?

thanks aain

ok, but will the change on the voltage give me more vapor? or more flavor? or is just that, more voltage

thanks

Yeah it will produce more vapor and the flavor it depends what ratio you're using in your ejuice

Depending on the coils, more voltage CAN provide more vapor. If the coils aren't fit to handle that voltage, though, you may just end up burning your wicking material/juice/getting a nasty taste.

In general, having a variable voltage device is my preference because you can put a wider range of devices on top of it. My OKL-T20 box will work just as well with a 1.8 ohm coil as it will with a .3 ohm coil -- assuming I adjust the voltage accordingly. A device with a fixed voltage might provide too much/too little power for the given coil.

Pg (propolene glycol) is one of the major components of e-liquid, primarily a better flavor carrier than Vg, and contributes to the "throat hit" in vapor.

Nicotine is the major component contributing to the "throat hit".

Vg (vegetable glycerine) is another of the major components of e-liquid, primarily responsible for vapor production.


Fixed voltage battery devices deliver approximately 3.7 volts to the atomizer. There is no way to change the vaping experience except change the resistance (ohm rating) of the atomizer.

Variable power battery devices (variable voltage/variable wattage) can be adjusted by the user to output 3.2 volts to 6 volts. This can allow for those vapers who like either a cooler or warmer vape. It can also change the flavor subtly (fine tune it). Some flavors (like fruits) often taste better at a lower voltage, while others (like tobacco or coffee) often taste better at higher voltage. It can also be experienced as producing more or less vapor, more or less throat hit (although that idea is a fallacy). Overall, variable power gives you more options to control your vapor.

Welcome CJ. There are multiple factors in considering the output of your vape. Thicker vapor comes from the VG component of the juice. Typically, higher VG, more vapor. More PG = more throat hit and a bit more flavor. Variable Voltage/Wattage on a device allows you to change the output setting to create a "warmer" or a "cooler" vape. Warmer would come from more power/volts being output by the device.

Changing power settings is merely a personal preference for *YOUR* vape. Presuming you're using a 1.8Ω coil, you might want to start your settings around 3.8V or 8W and nudge up until it becomes slightly "distasteful". Back down a notch or two, and you'll be at *YOUR* vaping preference.
