the only vision I can find are 2.8-3.0 ohms-will those work ok or should I wait until the lower ohms are restocked? It says the kgo 1100mah runs at 3.8v under load with a dual coil 1.5 ohm and over 4.0v under load with a single coil 2.0 ohm not sure what this means -are higher volts a better vape? Hoping to place order asap-my old ego batts are dying and want to be all set whrn I get my kgo kit in a few days and don't want to waste $$$$ if the 2.8-3.o won't do well on the kgo
thanks

The KGO is a 3.7V device.

What determines the "quality" of the vape is the wattage (among a great many other things, but wattage is a biggie).

Wattage is determined as follows: Volts2 / Ohms = Watts

So, take the voltage (3.7) times itself (3.7) = 13.69

Divide that by the resistance, let's say 2.0 ohms. 13.69 / 2.0 = 6.85 watts.

Try again with a 3 ohm: 13.69 / 3 = 4.56 watts.

A common KR808 regulated battery (Bloog, Volt, etc.) gives roughly 5 watts at the coil.

An eGo (3.2V) with a LR carto at 1.5 ohms gives 6.8 watts.

So, it depends where you want to be. 5 watts is a pretty cool vape compared to 7 watts, but higher wattage burns juice faster.

I have never used vision but with all of the CE2's I have used there is a learning curve on how to keep the wicks wet at all times. Most people try them get a bad taste, burn a few and go back to regular cartos. So read up about them first.

Either one will work on a KGO 1100mah. Another way of looking at is that more power sent the coil the more juice will be vaporized. Watts are a measure of power for electricity.

More vapor will give you more hit, a hotter vape and more flavor.
The downside is that to produce more vapor the coil needs more juice and the carto to wick faster. If it doesn't you will get a burnt taste or burn up a coil. Needless to say it much easier to burn up a 2.0 ohm coil the a 3.0 ohm coil. Expect to burn few before you get the hang of it.

As to what you should get. If the carto you are using is giving you the hit that want get about the same ohm CE2. If not go up or down depending on wether you want more.

For 2.0 ohm visions:
Cartomizers
