Lower resistance coils produce more flavour, vapour and heat at a lower voltage than higher ohm coils because they use more watts. For example, if you have a 1.8ohm coil running on 3.7 volts you’ll get an output of around 7.3 watts.
Does higher voltage make your vape warmer?
Higher voltage will make your vapor warmer, there will be a lot of it, and you’ll use up vape juice in your tank much quicker. On the other hand, a lower setting provides vapor that is much colder and won’t be as thick or in large quantity. The flavor of your vape might depend on the temperature you’re generating.
What is the best voltage for vaping?
If the flavor is more important to you than vapor production, then decrease your voltage a bit until you find the sweet spot, try vaping anywhere around 2.3 – 3.5 volts. However, if you’re looking looking for decent clouds and continued usability, you will have to adjust your variable voltage accordingly.
How much power does a vape coil use?
Voltage is not the only factor that affects wattage – you also need to take into account the resistance of the coils. Lower resistance coils produce more flavour, vapour and heat at a lower voltage than higher ohm coils because they use more watts. For example, if you have a 1.8ohm coil running on 3.7 volts you’ll get an output of around 7.3 watts.
What happens if you increase the resistance on a vape coil?
If you change the coil to a higher resistance of 2.8ohms you will notice a considerable decrease in flavour, vapour production and heat. That’s because the wattage is lower (around 4.4 watts). You will need to increase the voltage to increase the wattage and get a better vape.

Well you've only been vaping for a few months. I was perfectly happy vaping my 510 for months when I first started vaping (although there weren't a lot of better options back then anyways, LOL) but then as time went on starting craving more. First LR atties, now HV, etc.

Some folks, not saying yer one of them, tend to get caught up in the numbers and what voltage they think they "should" be at. The Provari ( and other bigger VV devices) are a different device and you might end up really liking a setting that you wouldnt have expected on an ego....maybe not.

As stated, it doesn't really matter on the numbers as long as it's working for you and you are happy with it. My latest coil / wick on my mini DID came in at 1.8ohms, and I'm more than happy vaping it between 3.2 and 3.7v depending on my mood / juice I select. I don't like a hot vape, but some do.

When dealing with a something like a Provari, you will tend to forget all about the LR and HV stuff and just set a voltage you like. It will not matter what the Ohm rating is once you find a voltage that works for you. It is not like the old days of straight mechanical battery drain problems of choosing between either 3.7 or 6.4 volts.

No one has brought up that it might have something to do with the juice flavors that you prefer. A nice thing about the Provari and VV devices in general, is that you can dial in lower voltages for certain flavors, its just not for high voltage vaping. A lot of my fruit flavors taste better to me around 3.4 to 3.6v in a 2.0 ohm cartotank.

I do not generally vape over 4V on a 2.4 ohm Nova head. That seems to be my sweet spot. That puts me around 6.5 watts. Any more than that and it tastes burned to me and any less than that is too cool and feels like simply breathing with flavor. The wonder of VV is that everyone can dial in what works for them and enjoy it.

Yeah, I guess my sweet spot in watts just happens to be lower than anyone else's, for some reason.
What is Ohm’s Law for Vaping?
Ohm’s Law states that an electrical current is proportionate to the amount of voltage across it. The German physicist Georg Simon Ohm was the first person to verify this relationship. However, this definition can be hard to understand, which is why teachers and professors use the “ water pipe analogy ” when explaining this Law.
What happens if a vape explodes?
A vape that explodes next to someone’s face or in his or her hands could cause severe disfigurement. In one notable case, a Fort Worth native died when his vape exploded in his face.
How to calculate voltage?
For example, there is a current of four amperes traveling through a four ohm wire. Four amperes are multiplied by four ohms. The answer is 16 volts.
What does it mean when a battery is venting?
If a battery is putting out too much current, it can vent. A venting battery means that chemicals are being ejected from the battery under high pressure, which could cause an explosion.
What is needed to vaporize nicotine?
In a vape, there is an electrical current flowing from the battery to the coils that vaporize the nicotine. Therefore, proper coils (a big enough pipe) are needed to suit the flow of electrons from the battery.
What to do before buying an unregulated vape?
So before buying an unregulated vape, crack open an old high school physics book and do some reading. Doing it is well worth it.
Is higher resistance better or worse?
Higher or lower resistances are not better or worse. It all depends on the user’s preferences. Someone who likes producing thick clouds should purchase low resistance coils.
Why do vapes burn out faster?
You will need to increase the voltage to increase the wattage and get a better vape. Because lower resistance coils use more wattage, they tend to generate more heat. This means they often burn out quicker than a higher resistance coil would.
How to get the perfect vape experience?
After all, with most entry-level vape kits, all you need to do is: Check what wattage you can use with the coil in your device. Adjust your wattage and airflow until you get the vapour, flavour and throat hit you need. Some people want to know more to get the perfect vaping experience.
What Ohm Resistance Should I Use In My tank?
When we first wrote this post, we used to refer people to the chart above.
How to get a vapour hit?
At its simplest level, it’s simply a matter of adjusting the voltage or wattage of the battery until you get the vapour, flavour and throat hit you desire. You can also experiment with using different resistance coils and combining them with different voltages/wattages.
What coils are used for vaping?
Coils below 1 ohm are common, and coils with a resistance of 0.8 ohms are often used for Mouth-to-Lung vaping. Even lower resistance coils, such as 0.15 coils, are often used for cloud vaping. Originally, sub-ohm vaping was reserved for experienced vapers who want to push the boundaries with rebuildable coils.
What affects vapour and throat hit?
The resistance of your coil is not the only thing that affects vapour, flavour and throat hit. It also depends on the amount of power flowing through your coil. There are two common types of vape batteries which allow different amounts of power to flow through your coil. These are variable voltage and variable wattage.
What is the difference between variable voltage and variable wattage?
The difference between variable voltage and variable wattage is a bit like the difference between an automatic and a manual car. With a variable voltage device, you manually control the amount of power (voltage) going through your device.
