New member from Ohio

[Archerr2002w]

Hi, I am a new member. I have been vaping for about a month now. My brother recommended this forum to me. I have a few questions.. I am using a V3 prodigy at 6 volts, What is the recommend amount of ohms at 6 volts? mods or Admin, can you take the "w" out of my user name? I had a typo when registering...Thanks for any responses.

Can't help you with any of your questions/issues. Just wanted to say "Hi" from Columbus Ohio.

You'll want a HV atty at 6 volts rated at 3 ohms or higher. Lower ohm than that probably won't last long plus it'll be a very warm vape that'll more than likely result in a burnt taste.

welcome! (i'll let the experts advise you. i've only been on e-cigs for a week or so)

Welcome from across the pond!

Thanks for the responses. I am on the eastern side of the state, right near Pa and Wv. Attys are a pain, too much dripping. I have been using carto's and they work ok, I keep getting a filler taste, I refill them often to avoid this. I have a ce2 carto that work pretty good at 3.2 ohms. I have a map tank on the way at 3.2. My brother has the same tank and runs 6 volts and popped it after 2 days. I hope I didn't waste money on it... This habit is almost as expensive as cigarettes, ordering juice that has little to no taste and experimenting till I find what I like...

Hi and welcome to ECF. I'm live near Akron, but I'll be doing some work over in East Liverpool over the summer and fall. At 6v I prefer a 3.5 ohm rating. Anything less and my juice burns, which tastes nasty. You need to take short hits even at 3.5 ohms.

Thanks for all the welcomes, Where at in the puddle are you going to be working? I work over in Pa.

I'll be working at the KSU East Liverpool Campus.

Maybe we can meet up sometime and have a mini vapefest. I've got lots of different juices you probably haven't tried and a few cool toys. Shoot me a PM sometime if you're interested.

Sounds good, I am wondering if I am going to have problems with this tank at 3.2 ohms? Did I screw up by going with 6 volts?

 

[cskent]

3.2 ohms is the lowest I'd go @ 6v and it should be ok. It seems like the higher the voltage, the more closely you have to match your components. I'd give it a shot and see what happens, but I'd have a backup plan in case you don't like the results. Do you have any spare atomizers on hand? After playing with HV for a while I found I really didn't like messing with 6v and went back to 3.7v. You don't have that option with the Prodigy. You'll just have to try a few different resistance levels to find out what works for you. If the 3.2 ohm map tank doesn't work for you try some 3.5 or 4 ohm atomizers.

 

[Archerr2002w]

I have been using standard resistance boge 510 cartos and atty's they work ok. I take long drags and have not popped one yet. I have one 3.2 ce2 that works pretty good also with good flavor. I can go to 3.7 volts, I need to buy different batteries , but would rather not.

 

[Archerr2002w]

I forgot to mention that a pair of 6v batteries last me about 24hrs. My job entails a lot of driving and I "toot" all day long..

I don't have a 6v mod but if I did I would probably try something between 3.6 and 6 ohms. That will put you in the range of 6-10 watts which is where most people find their sweet spot.

 

[cskent]

The key to vaping is finding something that works for you then sticking with it. The 3.2 ohm map tank is the highest resistance one they make. If it works, great, if not at least you know carto's and ce2's will get you by.

 

[cskent]

Digs brough up a good point which I didn't mention. I like to vape @ around 8 to 9 amps. 3.2 ohm's @ 6v is over 11 amps. I'm using 1.7 to 2 ohm atty's @ 3.7v (actually 4.18v off the charger) which is in the 8 to 9 range.

It looks like your questions have been answered, but I just wanted to say welcome from a fellow member of the buckeye state!

Where ya'll from Digs and WiKiD?
