When to use higher voltages?

[Ren79]

A lot of variable voltage batteries and APV go quite high in voltage, and I was wondering when one would use that high of a setting? For instance, my every day, favorite flavor at the moment is Five Pawns Queenside, and the sweet spot on that juice per the manufacturer is between 3.6-3.9. Most of what I've seen rests somewhere in the 3's. So when would you ever crank it up as high as some of these batteries/APV's go? Am I missing something?

Because to me, when I start taking my flavors past 3.8 or 3.9, it starts getting a burned quality to the flavor.

Higher volts for different atomizers as well as higher ohms.

If you like 3.9 you don't have to go higher. On my dripping atomizer I go to 4.5 volts depending on my coil build.

patrao_n is correct regarding the resistance of your coils ie: higher ohms=higher volts. But you might also change your voltage if you change flavors to find the sweet spot for that particular flavor, in which case you might be adjusting your voltage up or down. Hope this helps.

Ive found myself to be a fan of low resistance coils with my ego batteries, but I do have a question... Is there an advantage to going with a higher ohm coil, therefore higher voltage to get to the same wattage as running a lower resistance, and less volts?

What volts do you guys use for iclear 16s?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Depends on the resistance of the coil used.

before low resistance and higher wattage vaping rolled around most devices had a pretty high resistance and high voltage was thought to be the way to go, now not so much but it was decided that the APV's should still have a wide range so everyone could find a sweet spot.

Lower resistance coils pull more amps from a battery due to the lower electrical resistance of low ohm coils, which in turns means more battery drainage.

Higher resistance coils pull less amps from a battery due to the higher resistance of the higher ohm coils, resulting is less battery drain.

A LR coil will have less of a useable voltage range than a SR (standard resistance) coil, and a HR (high resistance) coil will have an even wider useable voltage range than a SR coil will.

The Safe Vaping Power Chart can be used as a general guideline to demonstrate this:

So to get the most use from a vv/vw device, I want something with a resistance around 3.5 ohms?

 

[patrao_n]

You don't necessarily need the most volts possible. On my protanks I vape at whatever gives me 8 watts. You can move up to a 3.5 ohms coil. Just be prepared to wait for it to heat up.

I've found about 2.5 - 3.0 ohms gives you room enough to lower the voltage enough to avoid burning, and high enough to fry any juice. You can go to higher, but I can't tell the difference in vapor assuming you adjust for the same wattage.

It's always easiest to adjust your VV to whatever tastes best to you, then check what voltage it is so you can repeat it in the future. Adjusting using a formula will get you in the ballpark, then go higher or lower depending on how it tastes...

3.5? ummm ive found 1.5-2.2 ohms is best for flavor and vapor production depending upon the VG %age. the higher the VG the ohms tend to do best at 1.8-2.2 at around 7.5-9.5W the higher the ohms, the voltage needs to go higher, thus the wattage goes up, thus the battery doesnt last as long best put is Volts X amps = watts

Im using an RSST tank at 1.5-1.8 ohms and my 3400Efest lasts 36 hrs at 7.5-10W ( I luv my Vamo3 ..wattage adjustable)
