Atomiser resistance...

[Trotters]

Hello, whats difference between low resistance & high resistance atomisers?.

Thanks

Taste wise, it's the difference between a silk cut and a benson and hedges. Basically a low resistance atomizer will heat up quicker than a high resistance atomizer. Depending on your set up, you should get a better throat hit and vapour production with a lower resistance atomizer (unless you are using a vw device which changes things slightly).

Yeah im using a zmax

It won't really affect you Trots as you have the capacity to adjust the voltage or wattage to suit your taste. Just make small adjustments up or down until you find your own sweet spot. What the reading is is totally irrelevant. The only difference will be in the battery runtime and that by 30mins or so. Negligible really.

Btw, you had your motor nicked recently? I saw it outside a block of flats not far from me.

Ho ho :-), nah lol. So why does the piece of card that comes with the atty tell you which voltage range to use as per the appropriate resistance? Eg my mini protank at 2.2 Ohms says volts between 3.4-3.7?

Health and safety
If you're using a vw device try setting it somewhere between 8-11 watts and see how you go. Its all trial and error, have a play and and find out what you like.

Have a look at this thread here.

Hi, on my dodgy vmax I've two nova's . One at 1.8 ohms which cooks juice at 4.3 volts. And one at 2.6 ohms, that takes the full 6volts to get a good vape. The 2.6 ohm head also soaks the juice up a lot faster.
