Wattage so confused.

[Marcus Gray]

You, sir, shall be missed.

I would say it's a sad day, but ... it is not. I wish that people would think about how they deliver things in such a manner. Maybe I am just to technical about things, but then again, who knows how things would have ended up overall. I personally am grateful for any and all information, but the delivery must be at least...adequate. The way this dr g person delivered it, was sub-par. Oh well.

Anyway, in lighter news, the OP may require more information! What say you said electronflow?

Spot on, my friend, as is your custom.

I have the Evic to. How ever I am using Kanger EVODs with 1.8ohm coils. Have my Evic set at 7.0 watts and am pleased with it. Nice taste and lots of Vapor.

Just because someone says where you have your gear set or what watt you are vaping at is too low, doesnt mean its true. It means that it may be too low for them. The thing you have to remember is everyone is different and so is their taste buds.

Set it at what you like, not at what someone else likes. Do that and you willbhave something sweeter than YooHoo.

you could get some DIY nic solution and "spike" your juice a little couldn't you?

I have an 8yo son here with me, I'd rather not have pure nicotine around the house.

 

[Zipslack]

Thanks for the math tutorial if your referring to me.. But i have it figured out

Cheers

Didn't mean to come across as condescending or anything...13 years of teaching electronics means I automatically go into "lecture mode" sometimes

Bummer...oh well, time for me to quit derailing this thread. LOL

Is your vaping wattage considered to be "doubled" if you have a 2 coil atomizer?

 

[tearose50]

The conventional data has been the complete opposite.

If I recall correctly --- To get effective use out of the 2 coils, one would have to double the wattage on a VW device. This was often stated with the science behind this thinking when talking about dual coil cartomizers.

If you are talking the new theories of the Watts Don't Matter crowd -- I don't have a clue.


And a note to the OP: It is not uncommon for one to prefer the lower watts or voltage settings on their vv/vw devices, and believe it or not, testoserone is not measured by one's preferred watts level.

I think it was said you were using a Vamo? It seems Vamo fans like a harsher hit. I'm not a vamo user, but I have read that the air flow could be changed a hair to "smooth" the vape a bit. if you have the atomizing device on tight, loosen it. That could change the vape taste for you.

It's not best for any mod to tighten the toppers anyway, so it's a good practice. They should only be twisted on until the two pins touch.

The specific numbers are debatable but these two concepts are one and the same.

I think "failure" is a rather strong word, since despite my hope that you meant an equipment failure, the word is often perceived as a personal shortcoming. In case you have forgotten, it is very stressful for people to quit smoking. Many have tried to quit and failed in the past and aren't confident vaping will work either. Any hint of failure might make some people give up. I'm not suggesting you censor yourself, but a little decorum might be called for. And what does sub-ohm have to do with the OP?

You're being foolish, stop. This has nothing to do with anything.

Already answered the OP in full prior to the interjection. And for the record, you asked the question relating it to the wider vaping audience. I answered your question; to call me for answering the question YOU asked is jackassery.

Bottom line is there's a very slim chance the OP is actually burning their stuff at 5.5w and if they are they may need help with something. Or if they are confusing watts with volts, they may need a little explanation.

No it won't, the OP specifies that the juice develops a burnt taste at a specific wattage, showing that it tastes normal at lower wattages. Same subject, different tastes. There are all kinds of taste shades caused by varying wattages, however the one that raises some concern about an actual problem is the burnt taste.

This isn't hard stuff unless you are invested in portraying thickness.

Wow you really have a problem with the word "failure" huh. Personal issues?
Failure is an entirely non-prejudicial technical term. I use it precisely because it DOESN'T imply anything.

That would be prejudicial. There is no evidence presented for distinguishing between the two, and regardless if it's one or the other it needs to be identified as one or the other. Failure without modifiers as I used it does not distinguish between the two. That was intentional.

You may be reading intent into my posts based on your own prejudices. Assume every post has no intent other than to inform clearly and completely by default.

doc... oh doc...

Sigh.

Big sigh...

Perhaps another forum might suit you better?

Sometimes very intelligent people have social interaction impairments. They may lack the ability to socially reciprocate and become pedantic, not recognizing interactive cues, such as their listener (or reader in this case) becoming bewildered and disinterested. It can be challenging and frustrating to try and communicate with someone who has knowledge they want to share and a sincere desire to help other people but lack the skills to express it. Perhaps, by example and with compassion we can assist someone like that on their journey too. I am passionate in my beliefs, but the issues are not personal. I want to help people stop smoking as simply and effectively as possible. If they choose to go beyond that and embrace vaping as a hobby, more power to them! But that's not my focus. I want to address the questions members have right now, in a way they can understand and encourage those who know more than I do to do the same. I am well aware of how irksome I can be, but my intentions are good. Rawr.



ETA: I'm also flawed, like everyone else and sometimes I just can't help it.

Is your vaping wattage considered to be "doubled" if you have a 2 coil atomizer?

Negative, you just have 2x the surface area in which that electronic heat can vaporize the liquid touching it, you are actually dividing the resistance, you will have 2, 4Ω coils in parallel

In a series circuit, you ADD the resistances, in parallel you get the reciprocal of the sum of the resistances (this is where it can get confusing)

How does having two 2 Ohm coils in parallel end up being two 4 Ohm coils? Don't take this negatively, but I randomly add things in math problems at late hours as well.

Series- Equivalent Resistance=R1+R2+R3
Parallel-1/Equivalent Resistance=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 That looks like it could be confusing, but the problems I've dealt with, the reciprocal functions cancel each other out when you reach the sum, and that's dealing with high voltage circuits, not consistent e-cig applications.

 

[rnln]

My personal experience on both RSST and protank (modified to vape like a genesis)
Around more or less 2 ohms, I can do up to 11w once in a while and mostly 8 to 9 w. I like it at 10w but chicken out.
Between 3 to 4 ohms, I have to vape between 5 to 7 w, most likely at 6w. If I set the wattage too high, I feel it's burning juice.

2Ω coils in parallel would give you 1Ω, 2Ω coils in series would give you 4Ω

Its called ohms LAW for a reason...not ohms THEORY, whether it be in an "personal vaper" or a TV, or a DVD player or high voltage ckt...

E / I x R it's da law!

 

[suspectK]

The resistance of each resistor isn't changed because of the particular circuit it's in. The equivalent resistance is just the resistance of the entire circuit. I'm not arguing with your math, at least in your second post-responding to my post. I'm just pointing out the fact that the actual resistor isn't magically changed. Perhaps, before you jump on me trying to start an argument, check your post I responded to, to see if there are any inconsistencies.

And my comment at the end was regarding reciprocal functions in parallel circuits. I haven't had a single equation come up in my life that you can't just drop the reciprocal when common denominator is found and the sum of all resistance is found. I don't know of parallel circuits in e-cig cartomizers or atomizers, so I don't see the need for anyone using that application after I posted anyways.

And it is Ohm's law, but it is still a theory.

This should get interesting! I've already learned, I'm staying out of this mess!

could have been my mathematical "definition" wasn't correct...however the math doesn't change...

Either way, if you have a parallel path, the total resistance of both resistors (when measured electrically) total resistance will read less than the lowest rated resistor
