Videos/tutorials to learn about 401 vs 901 vs 808 vs 510 vs 306 and ohms

[visitlynn]

Hi and thanks in advance for your help!

Does anyone have a go-to place to learn about this technical stuff? Perhaps a quick link/pdf/ spreadsheet that says 'use this ohm when using this volt as to not blow up your atty'?

Also, if you have suggestions for a reputable carto rating site I would really appreciate it. Have you heard of these guys:
Cartomizer | Electronic Cigarette Cartomizer Reviews And Discounts

I bet this has been asked a million times, sorry to bring it up again.

Background ramble:
I have purchased 401, 901, 808, 510 adapters and before I make another cartridge purchase....
I've been buying attys and cartos for a while not understanding their impact on batteries. I would like to learn more about the proper use for cartos and attys and how to use them on different devices. I have a riva 510 and recently built 'The Puck' mod (which was very informative and empowering as I had never built anything like a mod before). So today I labeled all my various attys and cartridges with a digital multimeter... but not sure how to use this info.

Thanks again!
Respectfully,

That website is merely a listing of the cartomizer-based e-cig companies, which have affiliate programs. [If you click on any of the links and make a purchase, the website owner earns a commission.] You'll see a few of the companies listed here on ECF (and on CyberWolf's and my website) and are recommendable. The others: not so much.

The best way to assess the respective merits of cartomizers is by reading/viewing user reviews and comments here on ECF. It can be time-consuming, but they are much less likely to be influenced by financial considerations than a website like that.

Another factor to keep in mind is that vaping satisfaction is subjective. What I like may not be what you like. For what it is worth, my favorite Kr8 cartomizer is Smokeless Image's VOLT (essentially the same as the excellent Bloog Maxx Fusion, but less expensive: $9/five-pack). My favorite 510 carto is the Smok Tech Mega Dual Coil. It is available from many suppliers; the lowest price I've found is at LiteCigUSA: $9/five-pack. My favorite 801 cartomizer is the EastMall 801, which I have purchased for $8/five-pack from Vapor Junction here in the US: regular resistance and LR.

There is so much variation in atomizer and cartomizer resistance (even on the same model from the same manufacturer) that I don't think a fixed directory is possible. As for an ohms/volts guide, however, my own article on the subject might be helpful ... and there probably is an updated/enhanced version somewhere of this spreadsheet by RalphT and Candre23. [Click on it to make it readable size.]

For myself, I just use this online calculator [enter any two values (e.g., volts and ohms) and it calculates the other two (e.g., watts and amps)] ... and keep in mind that many vapers find 6-8 watts to be the "sweet spot" and 1.5 amps or less is kind to attys and mosfets (but 2.0+ amps makes them cranky).
