Quick question..... questions.

(For the record, y'all were right, ce4s are crap.)
My husband had gotten me a kit with 2 ce4s and 2 ego 650 mah batteries. I already had a evod 1000(?) and an aspire bdc tank.
One of the ce4s worked great, the other was burnt out of the box and my aspire was getting hard to vape.
Que YouTube videos on how to clean ce4s and the demise of mine.
I found my local shop to get some replacement coils for the aspire, I had a 1.8 that was in from when I purchased it.
Great experience at the shop, will be my go to, when I got home I saw I had 2.1 coils. Put them in anyway and it works great. My question is will they change the battery life? Longer or shorter?
Also tried a mini -nautilus at the shop and really liked it, would it work on my batteries or do I have to upgrade to vv /vw?
Thanks.

You may have to charge your batteries more often. A higher ohm coil will use a slight bit more battery power due to needing more energy and time to heat the coil to vape capacity The nautilus should work on your evod and ego batteries.

Yay!!! Good thing a have three batteries!!

Always have backups for your backups-#1 rule of vaping

I've always preferred the 2.2 - 2.5 range, myself. Glad you're finding your sweet spot and it's working out so well for you!

I tend to shoot for 2.0 ohms when I wrap my coils.

And the best way to clean a CE is to just rinse it out in stale beer, let it dry and then gently wrap in toilet paper before tossing it in the trash.

And as usual, Emoma is right. We all need spares. Not like we can get what we need like smokers can in any gas station.

Haha!!! That was the best! I'm learning that it feels really weird to just get gas and a drink, not having to budget cigarettes in for the week, a good weird.

Lol, I know, right? For months, if I had to run into the store they'd ask if I wanted cigarettes. I always smiled and said, "No, thanks. I'm good."

When I had my first kit with standard 650mAh batteries, I used different resistance attys to be able to change the wattage being produced. I had Joyetech batteries, which fired at ≈ 3.3 volts. The Twist wasn't on the market yet and I couldn't afford a Darwin, so it was the only way to vary the vape. It's similar to when I use my Reos, which are mechanical, and fire at the voltage level of the battery. I have to change the resistance to change the wattage, since I can't change the voltage.

I don't like getting too technical, but wattage is what you are aiming for; it's the power that determines the temperature of the coil The more power (watts) produced, the hotter the coil. With a variable device, like a Twist, you can use one atty and change the voltage to produce different wattage: too cool, turn it up; too hot, turn it down. But with a fixed voltage device, it's the resistance that has to change. This is where the math comes in (sorry).

Voltage x voltage ÷ resistance = wattage. That's Ohm's Law in a nutshell.

So I had a 650mAh battery that fired at 3.3 volts:

3.3 volts x 3.3 volts ÷ 2.1Ω = 5.2 watts (rounded)
3.3 volts x 3.3 volts ÷ 1.5Ω = 7.3 watts (rounded)

7.3 watts is a warmer vape than 5.2 watts.

It should be noted that some eGo-type batteries are regulated to fire at 3.7 volts, but many are unregulated, which means they don't fire at a fixed voltage. A battery fresh off the charger will fire at 4.2 volts. When put into a regulated device, there is a buck-boost transformer in the circuitry that keeps it firing at a consistent voltage (buck lowers 4.2v to 3.7v, boost raises 3.5v to 3.7v) and it will continue to fire at that voltage until the battery with the boost can no longer produce the fixed voltage and the battery light will blink to be changed. A low resistance atty will slightly (very slightly at this level of vaping) lower the battery charge, since it is pulling more amps. Pay no attention to that sentence, it's not important to you now.

With a fresh battery in an unregulated device, the voltage goes down as the battery is depleted. It will start at 4.2v, then the voltage produced will go down: 3.9v, 3.8v, 3.7v, 3.6v, etc., until the battery gets down to around 3.3v and blinks to be changed. That's why with a unregulated device you may notice the vape getting weaker after you've used the device for awhile, although you may not. Unregulated batteries don't discharge as quickly as I make it sound, often they hang around at roughly 3.7v before going further down, so you may not notice a difference in the length it will hold a charge compared to a regulated battery, but if you do notice the vape getting weaker, you can put on a lower resistance atty to see if it improves.

How volts, resistance, watts and amps (which I left out since it's not that important at the level you're vaping) interact is more complex than what I've described, but this is just an overview. *You do not need to memorize this stuff!!!* just be aware of the concept, which hopefully will give you a better idea of how you can control your vape.

Sorry for the overkill. I will go back to my den now.

Thank you!!! I will refer to this quite a few times!
