Voltage vs Resistance

[Id10terror02]

I have been messing around with different gague wire and volatges on my AGA S. My general experience is low voltage low res. High voltage higher res.... is that the same for everyone else?

yep that's ohm's law

read, search, THEN post

welcome to the fam-bam BTW!

That's about right, but I tend to like the higher end of the voltage spectrum at any resistance. Always try to stay within the range that's allowed for the resistance because you will either get a crappy vape or may burn out the atomizer quickly. Here's a chart I refer all my friends to so they have an idea of what voltage they should be at in accordance to the resistance.

Eh.. not sure if the chart is large enough. Here's the link.

Thanks... I have been running a genesis atty on a twist and it seems to like the lower voltages... Higher voltages seem to give off less overall vapor compared to the lower voltages. Im thinking that the battery itself is having issues keeping up with the amps

Yes that is correct. BTW, seems like a fair question/comment for the "New Members Forum" to me.

It's kinda funny... Most places you go you dont see many people vaping but at my work we have a little vaping community... Literally 50/50 split smokers vs vapers!!! I usually have the most awkward looking setups. M3's and Kanger T's are most popular. I started on the Vivi Nova's and honestly after trying a lot of tank systems it's my opinion they are the best value. Performance vs. price!!! But thank you guys for answering that question i was wondering why on my 3ohm cartos i was getting so much more vape time than on my 1.3ohm genesis... I'm suprised i havent fried the twist battery yet

just remember Ohms law and watts law and you won't need a chart

Watts (P) is the key in vaping.

I=current, P=power in watts, E=voltage, R=resistance

I=E/R P=E*I E=R*I R=E/I

Or just have the chart so you don't have to remember ohm's law and watts law. Lol. Specially for newcomers, that's not very realistic advice. For experienced Vapers, I believe its essential.

W Watts, V Voltage, R Resistance (Ohms)

W = (V^2)/ R
*Voltage squared

Optimal range for W should be kept from 4 to 8.5. Anything greater than 8.5 may melt the atomizer/wire.
