Advice on atties please.

[annie50]

Hi all

I am ordering from Liberty Flights ( well I was a minute ago ) but they haven't got the 1.8ohm atties again this week.
Have I got to have 1.8ohm for my evods?  They have got 1.5 , 2.2 , and 2.5. I haven't got a clue what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help.

ohms really are personal preference. I like the 2.2 ohm ones best.

There are loads of places that sell 1.8 heads, the 2 cheap places I know are both out of stock (just checked).

why not try a 2.2 ohm one and see how you like it?

UK E Cig Cabin have them in stock

There is a code for a discount as well, iirc its AAEC

If you are running on a variable voltage device then you can adjust that to compensate for a different resistance coil.
If the resistance is higher then you need to up the volts for a similar effect, and lower volts with lower ohms resistance.
Even better, if you can to use a variable wattage device and it will work it all out for you - they read the resistance
and adjust the volts automatically.

Thank you both.
I have just ordered those from your link rincewind.

Going to order one 2.2 while on Liberty Flights dragon to try.
What difference is there supposed to be?

I have 2  x 1300 spinner batteries and 4 x ego 900.

The 2.2 for me gives a smoother vape. The 1.8 is a little harsh for me, and on a fully charged standard ego battery tends to burn some of my flavours. With my spinner, it doesn't really matter as I can adjust the volts.

I am not a big throat hit fan, but I do like a warm vape. Different liquids atomise differently, and different people like different things ... so it is difficult to advise someone else on ohms

When you first got your evod it would've been factory fitted with a head of about 2.2 ohms.  Was there a difference when/why you changed to 1.8's?  The 1.8's will burn hotter than the 2.4's, thus giving you more vape (if you're using a standard ego battery).  You'll probably find you need more draw to get the same vape.

hope this helps

Edit...our typing must've crossed over lol.  I've just re-read and see you have VV batt's - turn the volts up a bit with your 2.4's, it'll vape similarly.

I can't pretend I understand it all.
But hopefully I will do one day

You can buy evods that come with all sorts of different ohm heads, depending on where you bought it from. If you got it from LF then it almost certainly came with a 1.8 head

Yes all my evods are from LF and were 1.8. That's why I didn't know what to do as I have never used any other.
And whilst on there, I have just ordered two more evods to make my total 8 LOL

I apologise for my mis-information. I assumed they all came with the higher ohm heads.

No problems Annie, only too pleased to help

[dinamic22]

I don't understand it either Anne i just use what came with the evods/protank & turn up or down on the v v as needed

It's all about how hot the coil gets that's vapourising the e-liquid. Thats is how I've understood it so far anyway.


Your 1.8ohm atomizer heads, on a standard non vv eGo battery, will generate an output of around 7.6watts.

A 2.4ohm atomizer head on a standard non vv eGo battery would generate an output of around 5.7watts, so your e-liquid wouldn't taste quite the same.

So, to get the same taste from a 2.4ohm atomizer head, you would need around 4.3volts on a vv battery to get the coil to the same temperature as the 1.8ohm atomizer head@3.7volts.

Hope that makes sense.
