Confused about resistance...

[Mikey@Vaporized]

Hi guys, sorry to pester again with my newbie questions. Starting to get the hang of things now and looking to get some new clearos, I am getting confused about resistance though. I was looking at the iClear 16 on myepack, and again on fast tech for future purposes. It says on the Innokin website that they only do 2ohm and 1.5ohm and that the 2 is only suitable for vv, and the 1.5 suitable for ego threads. On myepack there is only a 2.1ohm clearo and on fast tech there are several different resistance ratings. Which is safe to use with my device and why? If anyone can explain how I would work this out for myself on future I would greatly appreciate the help!

All are suitable in reality, the lower the resistance the hotter the coil is meaning more vapour and flavour but this comes at a cost of using more liquid and on most clearo crank up the power to high and itll burn your juice. Just like anything in vaping its your personal preferences that count and still being new thats something that can only be discovered by trial and error

Thanks for the help Steve (VapeStorm). I am using a 650mah eGo battery, and I like quite a full feeling hit. That in mind what resistance would you recommend trying first since I am not using vv?

To be honest on an ego battery I dont think there will be much difference it, but usually aim in clearos for the 1.5-1.8 range
I hope im making sense had a few to drink lol

I think the iclear vape is pretty good at 2 ohms, so I'd start with 2 rather than 1.5. 1.5 will be more expensive - use up more juice, use up your battery faster - and also more likely to give you a burnt taste if you draw too long and hard. So if the vape at 2 is good enough for you, you can stick with it. If not, then try a 1.5. If you start with a 1.5 you won't know if you are wasting money.

I don't know why Innokin think that 2.0 is only for vv. Maybe they use weak juices. There are lots of happy vapers using more than 2 ohms on egos on worse devices than the iclear.

Me neither, I actually think a 1.5ohm Iclear16 is a bit burny on a freshly charged standard Ego battery . . . it's that resistance that's more suitable for a VV/VW device for me.

I would agree, I aimed for 1.8-2.0ohm on eGo batteries, and even now on a Vamo aim for 1.8ohm. Maybe now's the time to go for something like a Spinner battery where you have a good day's charge and the ability to adjust the voltage so that the ohms on your atomiser is less critical? Or of course you could just bite the bullet and go for a VW device

Thanks for all the sound advice guys. I am still relatively new to vaping, a full time student and am due to be a dad in roughly 7 weeks. This means money is tight and wasting it is not really an option right now so the help is very much appreciated. Have bought juice so most important thing right now is some nice clearos. I think before upgrading to a bigger battery or a mod, I will probably expand the range of batteries I have just now - a wee 350mah for out and about, and a 900mah for a home. Between that and the two 650s I have I should enough to keep me going. Will be ordering them from fasttech so will be a cheap couple of additions to begin with. Will most likely have a look at vv/vw a couple months down the line.
