Pls explain hotter vs cooler vape

[Rar]

Can someone explain to me what is meant by the terms "hotter vape" and "cooler vape"?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

As you move up in voltage and ohms, your vapor is going to get hotter. vaping an eGo battery with stand resistance atomizers will produce a cooler vapor than a 6V battery with 3.5Ω atties, which feels hotter.

Think of drinking a hot cup of coffee vs. and iced cappaccino (sp). The hotter it is the more you feel it going down.

Ahhhhh - so we really are talking about temperature rather than TH?

As you move up in power you get more warmth, vapor, throat hit.
For a given resistance atomizer/cartomizer, higher voltage = more power (and current draw).
For a given voltage, lower resistance = more power (and current draw).
Say you have a 2.5 ohm cartomizer. On an eGo at 3.3V you get 4.4 Watts, pretty cool. The same carto at 5V is 10W, at the hotter end.
Somewhere up around 8W is, for me, pretty nice. Easy to get there with a true passthrough or a decent variable voltage mod, but not so much on that nominal 3.3V eGo -- running a 1.5 ohm dual coil carto gets to 7.3W, plenty close enough, but you're drawing (or trying to draw) a 2.2 amps, not sure what long term effects it will have on a stock battery.

Weeeellll...yes - and no.

The idea of 'throat hit' is entirely subjective - what feels harsh to you may feel smooth to me. However, we cannot deny that the temperature of the vapor plays an important part in this subjective impression.

Well regarding the TH it's hard for me to explain but let's just try an example here. If I have a tobacco juice and I vape it at 3.7v with a standard atty the vapor can be cool and the TH can be harsh and unpleasant. If I use the same juice at 5v with a 2.0ohm atty the vapor will be warm and the TH will still be strong but much more pleasant since its warmer. I don't know if I made sense here but the point is for me I get with most juices at 3.7v a very harsh th whereas the 5v th is warmer and makes it way more enjoyable.

When I started using dual coil I had to learn to move my tongue away from mouth piece because vapor would almost burn tongue.

HOT
Vapor more like real cig
Size of ecig not like real cig
Easier on stomach
Dry vapor--more throat irritation
Long drags
Less flavor
Batteries lose charge faster--must carry more batteries.
Devours atties
Melts plastic

COOL
Vapor less like real cig
Can LOOK more like a real cig
Thicker vapor--more condensation and stomach irritation
Thicker vapor--more flavor
More moisture = less throat irritation
Short puffs = batteries stay charged longer
Less heat means all parts last longer

Obviously, HEAT is the logical choice


HTH,

My DC makes hot wet vapor at 3.7 volts.

I dont have a problem with dry vapor at warmer vape either.
But find the rest to be true.
I did find that the lower the VG the drier the vapor....

 

[tiffytiff]

btw pamdane NICE NICE NICE LOOKING BOY!

anyways...back on topic, so i just got the 306 atty, using 70/30 pg/vg.....havent really noticed too dry throat hits, ,maybe a little irritation...but curious how much of a difference more vg would make.

 

[emus]

I had dry tongue issue w/ 80% VG.
Made it difficult to taste flavors.
