Can somebody give me the easy version of what these are and what works best. The reason why I ask is I have some carts that are 2 ohms and some that are 1.5 ohms. I am using them on an ego-c and the 1.5s I can't even use because they vape to harsh and make me cough. The 1.5s are dual coil if that matters. Kind of new to the volt and ohm world, so thanks for any help.

The key to vaping is the heat generated by the coil. That is roughly equivalent to power in watts.
Power (P) in watts = Volts squared / ohms.
Google an ohms law generator to easily plug figures into.

If you're finding things too harsh either go with a variable voltage battery, or use standard resistance devices (2.5-3 ohms).
That will make a BIG difference

Hi Beneau
Here's what I do. My goal is to vape 8 watts.
I need to do math to get there.
Volts x volts / ohms = watts
I think the ego is 3.4 v
And you said your carto was 2.0
So
(3.4 x 3.4) / 2.0 = 5.78 watts
For me 5.78 watts is too light of a vape. Boring. Makes me want a cig

Now about those dual coil jobbies, I get confused on the math. But assuming it is 1.5 total then:
(3.4 x 3.4) / 1.5 = 7.71 watts
If that is too much for your throat we need to make adjustments. Either the nic or the pg/vg ratio or go with the 2.0 cartomizers.
Did I help any?
