watt and voltage istick 30w

[Valerie Perreault]

I just bought and istick 30w eleaf. You have 2 mode: one where you can adjust the watts and the other one is for the voltage.

Which one should I adjust? I looked at a chart on this website: Understanding Variable Voltage / Variable Wattage E-cigs and I can't adjust my watts independently of my volt. If I change my watt the voltage change also.

1. Any idea how to do it seperatly?
2. And what is best to change? W or V?

Thanks!

Based on ohm's law, keeping the resistance the same and adjusting the wattage will automatically change the voltage. I am not sure how to switch between the modes on the istick, but it should be in your owners guide. In regards to which is best, it honestly doesn't matter much. I usually just keep my mods in VW mode-it's easier that way and I don't have to worry about dry hits with too many volts.

I keep it in VW mode also. Was just not sure which one was best. Thanks

According to Ohm's Law, when you change voltage the wattage changes automatically, and vice versa. They work interdependently with each other, so which mode you choose to work with doesn't really matter.

If you use variable voltage, you'll need to do a little simple math in your head. Use the "Ohms Plus Two" formula. Say that you are using a 2.0 ohm atomizer. Add the number "2" (always use the number two) to the 2 ohm, and you get the number "4". Start your voltage setting at 4 and adjust + or - until you find your sweet spot.

2 ohms + 2 = 4 volts

​

If you use variable wattage, you'll probably already know that you like to vape at a certain wattage. Now, if you change your tanks which have a different ohm rating, your processor will know automatically to adjust the wattage to put out the same power to the new/different ohm rating of the second tank.

Basically, experiment with either the voltage or wattage setting until you find what your "sweet spot" is.

Aaah! I get it. I have a 1.8 ohm atomizer. So I should go to 3.8 v and play from there. I think I found it myself, I just looked at my settings and I've been using 3.8V / 8.4W! So not too bad

Press the fire button 3x and it will change from w-v-w. The volts move in faster increments and are better for me to move around. Tenths are minor for me, I like to move pretty fast dialing in different flavors.
