differences between high and low voltage vaping?

[Telescope Neil]

Just wanted to ask, but is there really any difference when vaping at high or low voltages? i know that the voltage you should be at should relate to the ohms of your atty, but will there be something different in the flavor, TH or amounts of vapor when doing this?

For example,

I use a simple mango flavor juice, and put it in a VV with a 1.5ohm DCT running at 5.3volts, and use the same flavor in a mechanical mod with a 1.8ohm vivi nova running at 3.7volts? (or maybe 4.2volts with a freshly charged battery)

I'm obviously new here in this forum, so any answers would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

VV does nothing for me. I think it just to appease the electronics geeks and confuse noobs.

I would have said this a week ago, but I got an order of a caramel tobacco which I loved several months ago, but is waaaay too sweet for me now. turned up the voltage, and it's pretty good.

VV is mostly to adjust your wattage if you don't happen to have a lot of different resistance items lying around.

I found it useful at first to increase the hit, which helped me quit analogs. Over time, I found I was turning it down further and further until I was at 3.7 volts, at which point I reverted to my Volt X2.

Theoretically, if you go LR you can get the same hit at 3.7 volts that you will from higher resistance at 4.3. Some people say there's still a difference, but I never tried so I couldn't tell you.

There are many flavors that benefit from being vaporized at a particular voltage range. For example:

My fruit or fruity flavors are relatively fragile, and produce their best flavor in a 3.4 - 3.7 voltage range. Any higher can make these flavors appear to be burnt.

My coffee flavors produce their fullest flavor in the 4.0 - 4.8 volt range.

I have a red hot cinnamon flavor that has the best vaping experience cranked up to 5.8 volts.


So as you can see from my examples, it's not all about high voltage vaping. It's being able to adjust the voltage to find each individual flavor's "sweet spot" for a better vaping experience.

New vapors may find adjusting the voltage up or down to their advantage, to adjust the vapor to a more warm or cooler vape.

Some new vapors may not be able to appreciate the flavor nuances of variable voltage because their taste buds have been damaged from years of smoking. However, it's still nice to have a starter setup that has a battery that uses variable voltage, such as a Vision eGo Spinner or Joye eGo Twist. There's not that much price difference between the standard eGo battery and one with variable voltage. When the taste buds heal and the sense of taste improves, one can begin to realize the benefits of variable voltage by already having these units in their setup.

You're getting to know me too well.....

Take a juice flavor ... any juice will do, and see how many different ways you can make it taste the same. There are a lot of different ways to vape out there, and there aren't many that you can't make do what you want. There are different voltages, different resistances VV, VW, different types of heads, and on and on. In the end they can all be manipulated to produce exactly what you want.

Thanks for the replies! it seems that all your answers are similar to one another. i really don't know what my real sweetspot is, but the best thing thats working for me now is a vivi nova 1.8ohm on my telescope. i really REALLY want to try other mods (or even just a kick), or other tanks/cartos/RBAs but im still just a student who has smoked for 3 years and i dont have access to those other stuff cause i dont have money. but i know what im doing is good, and i was smart enough to stop smoking as early as this. maybe when i get a job after i graduate, id get my hands on other juices and stuff so i'd know what i would personally prefer again for myself.

Thanks alot guys and lets keep vaping!

I'm new to all of this - 3 weeks into vaping and I'm trying various Flux juices on my ego-T at 3.3 volts with Pheonix bottom coil cartos 2.4-2.6 ohms. I have no idea what that means. Anyway, my hits tend to be inconsistent. Sometimes full of flavor, sometimes burnt tasting, and sometimes kinda plastic tasting. Is it the carto I'm using? Or is it the volts? Or is it the ohms?

This newbie needs some help. Thanks.

I would have said this just this morning. I have been going at my cinnamon at the highest voltage that I could, until I put an atty full of it on my eGo 650. OMG, I forgot how good this is at a low voltage!!!!! Sooooooo sweet and still plenty of vapor. Tried it on my Twist at 3.5 volts and I am in love with cinnamon again....

Peppermint on the other hand still needs to be at about 4 volts

On a well-made juice, the different voltages will manifest substantially different flavor profiles.

Here's a review I did of http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-vermillion-river-kentucky-premium-blend.html. I'll be posting a review shortly of Vermilion River Poker Blend, in which the flavor profile changes substantially throughout the voltage range. To my mind, it makes a very big difference.

Given the number of bargain priced, reasonable-quality units out there, there's no reason not to get a vv setup. For example, my eGo-V cost about $30.

1. Taste
2. Throat Hit
3. Smoke (Vapor)

Agreed, I got an eGo-C Twist for me and my wife, less than $20 each

Here's the review I referred to earlier, of a juice that exhibits sharply different characteristics depending on the power level used to vape it:

Having not used the Phoenix before, I'm not familiar with them enough to provide advice based on experience.

I can provide you with a link to a useful Safe Vaping Power Chart. Vaping Power Chart 2.0 - Imgur
This can be referenced as a general guideline on the best combination of ohms to voltage. Ohms (resistance) on the left vertical column. Voltage on the top horizontal column. Find what you currently have in ohm and volts and draw imaginary lines right and down from each. Where they meet, is the wattage that you are using, and should be in the green blocks zone.

So, the chart shows your current resistance and voltage match up well, so that can be ruled out from the equation. There may be particular perts to the Phoenix that I am not aware of. You could either do an ECF search for the Phoenix Search Results - E-Cigarette Forum
or browse the clearomizer subforum and ask your question there once you have completed your minimum required 5 posts as a new member of ECF Assorted PV Topics.
