Voltages

[nobreak1970]

Hi, I have an eGo battery 650mAh.
It is VV and has the options of 3.2v, 3.7v, 4.2v.

What is the differences in vapor production, etc.

I like it at 3.2 volts but I want to make sure I get a good burn too.
Help?

lower the VV warmer the hit and a bit more vapor production. higher the VV cooler the hit and a bit less vapor production. Best thing is to test it out.

Gonna have to directly disagree with ya there. Higher voltage= more heat which=more vapor.

OP, 3.2 volts would be about the lowest amount of performance possible. Have you not tried selecting a higher voltage? If not, I recommend that you do.

more vapor with higher voltage
You don't want it to burn though, burnt liquid taste terrible. It can be hard to get rid of the burnt taste.
Rule of thumb to get the most vapor is to turn it up until it starts to taste a little "burnt" then turn it down a little.

Thanks for the info...been playing with it and 3.7 seems good.

With volts and resistance you get power (aka current flow or amps), power makes the vape..chart below gives you mathematical calculated powers, tongue tells you the best vape (most people find 6-7 watts pretty good...but everyone is different)

That's the best way to go. As with e-liquid, it's a matter of taste/preference.

All about the watts. The matching of resistance/ohms and the voltage. FYI that battery you have is not suppose to have atty's with less than 2 ohm. Here are some wattage tools for you. Most but not all vape between 6-10 watts. To high a wattage and you get burnt tast, throat hits and maybe a fried coil. Wattage is also a matter of the type of atomizer. How well if feeds the liquid. If your wattage outruns the ability of the atty to supply juice you get dry hits. Not fun. Here are the tools I spoke of. A chart and an Excel spread sheet with all sorts of calculators and charts. The ones you probably want now are the single coil chart and calculator tabs.

Well, I see OP didn't supply atomizer info/airhole size. So I can't advise any better than ^^ replies.
