Can someone explain to me the differences with voltages etc?

[ZT]

IE: what advantages / disadvantages LR and SD have and all that stuff

cheers

Low resistance atties etc. were basically designed as a way of simulating vaping at a higher voltage on a standard battery device. It's a hotter vape with a stronger throat hit, more vapour and often (but not always) less flavour. I prefer to use a standard resistance atty at a higher voltage myself...seems smoother and less harsh .

The main thing to know is that LR stuff will drain your battery faster and may knacker smaller batteries, including Rivas apparently (not happened to me). It is not advisable to use LR stuff at higher voltages (seems a bit pointless anyhow) but many do .

LR's arent high voltage friendly. For instance, on the V1 Provari and the V1 Lavatube if you put an LR carto on it, the Provari would error it out until you dropped the Voltage you were vaping at. The V1 LT, would just regulate the voltage without telling you.


I am almost positive Bryan123456 posted about VV, wattage and ohms on here, i have to find it now!

there's a chart somewhere..

Here it is

[ZT]

That looks far too technical for me

I prefer a smoother cooler vape ... so whats best ? standards ?

I use (currently) an ego t 900mah battery

 

[Mark]

Standards better for a cooler vape. Prefer warmer myself but we are all different

 

[ZT]

cool ta

heres another link from Mad Vapes in the US, this one spells it out pretty well.

Atomizers, Cartomizers, Voltage and Resistance

As a general rule, more voltage = more vapor. The higher the voltage of the mod, the hotter the heating element will get thus producing more vapor. With cartomizers and atomizers there is a resistance associated with each device. The higher the resistance, the less power it is allowing from the battery and thus less vapor. So a 2.0 ohm cartomizer will produce more vapor than a 2.5 ohm cartomizer at the same voltage. The same is true of an atomizer. Since resistance (ohms) essentially reduces the power from the battery, there is a balance that needs to be achieved for the electrical components as well as the quality of the vapor produced. Too much voltage can not only burn the e-liquid giving it a burnt taste, it can also burn out the cartomizer or atomizer if it is not capable of handling the amount of voltage going to it. If there is too little resistance, the device may see it as a short and not turn on. The relationship of voltage and resistance produces different amounts of watts which is a unit of power. So the more watts, the more the heating element heats up. A hotter element produces more vapor and a stronger throat hit. Below is a chart showing the relationship voltage and resistance to watts. Too many watts can burn out the atomizer or cartomizer and may burn some e-liquids.

Voltage​	Resistance​	Watts​
3.7​	1.7​	8.1​
3.7​	2.0​	6.8​
3.7​	3.2​	4.3​
3.7​	5​	2.7​
5​	1.7​	14.7​
5​	2.0​	12.5​
5​	3.2​	7.8​
5​	5​	5​
7.4​	1.7​	32.2​
7.4​	2.0​	27.4​
7.4​	3.2​	17.1​
7.4​	5​	11​

It is also important to note that lower resistance and higher voltage batteries will use up e-liquid quicker as both are increasing the power to the heating element. So keep those cartomizers and atomizers wet so you don’t get a burnt taste. In relation to batteries, you may notice there is a mAh number on them. This is milliampere-hours. It relates to the length of time that a battery will last before needing to be recharged. So under the same circumstances a battery with a higher mAh will last longer. Also, if you put 2 batteries together in series in a device it doubles the voltage output from the device but not the length of the time the battery will last. So (2) 3 volt batteries in series will produce 6 volts together giving more power but not necessarily increasing the time they will last. If the (2) batteries are in parallel they do not increase the voltage but the length of time they last. An example of (2) batteries in series would be one on top of the other Below is a chart we thought you might find helpful.

Battery	Recommended Resistance	Notes
510, 901,808 and other China batteries	2.5 ohm is the standard but they will work as low as 2.0 ohms. Higher resistance produces less vapor.	Below 2.0 ohms, the battery life is signifigantly reduced and the batteries may be damaged
eGo	2.0 - 2.5 ohms. Same as above	Same as above.
3.7 Volt mods, roughstacks, box mods, e-Power	1.7 to 3.2 ohms	Above 3.2 ohms, vapor production will be reduced. Lower than 1.7 ohms, battery may think it's a short and not work.
5 Volt mods	2.5 to 3.2 ohms	2.5 ohms may cause some juices to burn. Lower resistances may not work and will tend to burn liquid or blow out the atty or carto.
6 Volt	3.2 ohms and up	Lower ohms will tend to burn out the atty or carto or burn the liquid.
7 Volt	4.5 to 5 ohms	Personal preference on most of these but lower than 4 ohm tends to burn e-liquid and the actual cartos or atties will burn out quicker.
