Low & High Resistance

[tynesider]

Hi, whats the difference between Low & High Resistance atty's, clearo's etc. I've seen them on various sites but don't know what the difference is.

Thanks

LR give more flavour and vapor and get more hotter is prob the easiest way to explain

I may well have done a show on this on Vapourtrails.tv...

www.vapourtrails.tv/?p=590 is the one, I think

Well my explaination won't be very technical Tyne but here goes . . .

Low Resistance atomisers will give a vape similar to a 5v vaping experience with a battery over 600mah . . . so basically you get more oomphage for your bucks, although they do drain a battery life quicker and are said to not last as long as standard atomisers, although I don't find any significant difference tbh.

There's 4 basic atomiser resistances . . .

Standard - for batteries under 600mah & 5v vaping
Low Res - for batteries over 600mah
High Res- for 6v vaping
V High Res - 7+v vaping

Although you'll find some vapers prefer a standard res atomiser even if they have devices that will take a low one.

Oh Perp thats kinda of explaind a problem then would a LR atty kill a 600mah battery as one of my 600mah batterys died today?

Sorry to jump your thread tyne mate.

Is it a Riva style Roachie? You should be ok with those - it's the little cigarette look alikes that the LR's aren't any good for.

The 600mAh battery should be fine Roachie

Worst case scenario is that using LR constantly would shorten is lifespan a bit.

[roachieuk (aka eciggery2011)]

its a riva style weird you know that this is the third gold topped battery ive had die now im avoiding them like the plague now tbh as my ego-t batts are brill but them gold tops one i aint touching anymore.

[Perpetua]

How odd Roachie - your charger is obviously ok if it's not doing the same to the ego-t batteries.

[camperman]

read about lots of problems with rivas packing up and one of the reasons i wouldnt stock them.

[roachieuk (aka eciggery2011)]

Its my luck lol think ill just stick with my good old ego-ts from now on as these rivas are terrible third one in a month to be gone.Ah well never mind least i got spares this time not like last time all i had was one spare normal battery lol.

thanks for your help guys and sorry tyne for jumping your thread.

Funnily enough I've always found the reverse Camper, my Riva batteries have always lasted and out performed the Tornado/Ego ones.

[deesigner]

Camper I don't know if it's to do with cheaper manufacturing or what it is but I've still got one of my very first Riva batteries. Considering I was charging them twice a day it's lasted like a dream.

[camperman]

could be a bad batch or recently made models as i know one of the larger vendors was having allsorts of problems with them i think it was cloud9 and she was selling them off cheap not to long ago

Riva batteries have a reputation for having a short overall lifespan.
