Looking to pick up a ProTank2 and IBTanked Pyrex cartotank. I figure I also buy extra Boge cartomizers and replacement coils, but dont know which ohms to get. I know this may be subjective, but what are the most "popular" ohms strengths to get?


tanks will be used on a provari that I will also be purchasing.

This can depend partly on what battery device you'll be using the ProTank and IBTanked cartotank on, and also upon personal preference of the quality of vapor you prefer.

A fixed voltage device can use either standard (2.0 - 2.5 ohm) or low (1.5 - 2.0 ohm) resistance. SR resistance will provide a slightly normal to cooler vape; LR will provide a slightly warmer vape.

If using a regulated device such as a Provari where you can adjust the voltage up or down, either a standard or high (2.5 - 3.0 ohm) resistance works best. Again, choose based on personal preference. I prefer a cooler vape myself, and prefer higher resistance. A 3.0 ohm single coil will allow using voltages between 3.4 - 5.0 ohm safely.

The following safe vaping power chart helps new vapors visualize what ohm to choose for the voltage range that they are likely to use:

Awesome! Thanks for this chart. I too like a cooler vape and will go with your suggestion of a 3.0 ohm.

i'm a total newbie and don't know all the right vaping jargon, but i just bought my 2nd kit. it's a Tessla which adjusts up to 6.0
the coils i was given at the local vaping store are 2.2ohm and 2.8 ohm. right now i have in the pro tank a 1.8 ohm with the battery cranked up all the way
to 6.0 ---- It's the best hit i've gotten so far and it's the closest combo to smoking an analogue that i,ve experienced. BUT!! , is this thing gonna blow up on me!!?? according to the chart , i'm way off

Probably not a health risk. Most juices are not very good at 12+ - 16+ Watts, but whatever floats your boat. Flavor and TH change dramatically at ranges far less than 12 Watts. For example, most of my juices are vaped between 7 and 8 Watts, YMMV. I can't help but think you are burning the crap out of your juice, though, and the TH has to be very harsh. My two cents. Different strokes and so forth. Best to you!
