Best carto for the glv2??

[basementcat]

So I am crunching some number using an ohms law calculator and I keep getting like 12 watts+ output with the numbers I'm using. (3-3.2 ohm carto and 1 ohm resistor for 4-4.2 ohms of resistance, 7.2v battery output) is this right or am I missing something? Also isn't 12 watts too hot? Anyone know what the best wattage is for optimal enjoyment? So would a higher resistance carto be better? Right now I have some boge cartos from litecig. I think they're around 3 ohm (not sure maybe someone can tell me that too?) anyhow just trying to get the best setup for my glv when it arrives. Thanx.

So doing the math again 7.4 squared divided by 6 would be the optimal wattage 9.12w. So with this calculation wouldn't a 5ohm carto do the trick? 5ohm carto + 1ohm installed resistor would be 6ohms resistance? Or am doing the math wrong? Any help is appreciated.

On fresh 3.7v 16340's you're looking closer to 8.4v. My AW black/silvers comeoff the charger at 4.1-4.2v.

So a hv carto would be recommended then? I just wanna get the correct supplies. Not a fan of hot harsh vape or throat hit.

For anything over 6v a HR atty/carto would be a good idea. Std res carto seem to work fine for me on my 5v and is still probably what most people use @ 6v. Anything above that a HR piece would be a good choice to prevent burnout, excessively hot vape etc.

The glv I have on order is the 5v version. But if the bats are putting out 7.4+ and it only has a 1ohm resistor plus a regular 3ohm carto that's still a tin of wattage. 13 or so watts. Too hot.

I use 3ohm cartos on my 5v.Works good.

I agree Keyzy. Maybe Jay can clarify.

5v at 3ohm is perfect but I don't see how that works with 7.4 input and only 4ohms of resistance. I'd love for jay to clarify so I could understand.

 

[basementcat]

Makes sense is the 1ohm is in the r1 spot and the carto is in the r2 spot of a divided circuit. Then the output voltage is 5.55.

Same here. For me, LR + 5v GLV = too hot/harsh, HR + 5v GLV = too mellow.

That's as much math as I'm willing to do and all I really need to know.

Who's, if I may ask? Like 'em better than V4L coolcarts(think those are around 3.5ohms)?

 

[keyzygirl]

I got a some 3ohm from another member and they work great.Not sure where they came from.I usually use the cool carts and those are good too.

I've been using smoke tech 3.2 cartos from madvapes. I like cool vaor, and it gives just that.
