determining voltage, resistance, and current

[chooseyourecig]

Think of voltage as "electromotive force." It describes the potential for current, not the actual current itself. If we use the formula E= IR, then we know we need to replace the E with electromotive force, and the R is obviously resistance. I, then, must be the current.

Generally, you have the voltage as determined by your battery. And you have the resistance, as determined by your atomizer. How do you figure out how much current is flowing through your atomizer?

Think of an Eagle, a Rabbit, and an Indian. When the indian looks out over the mid-western plains, he sees an eagle soaring high above a rabbit. So, I equals E over R, or I = E/R. This works no matter which property you are trying to solve for. Anyway, I hope this little picture sticks in your head and makes you life a little easier one day

But don't forget that if the amperage limit of your

Switch is too low it will limit the flow of current.

Without taking that into account it will throw your numbers off

Dammit Joe, now we need a new character besides the eagle, rabbit and Indian

amp limitation = albatross tied around the eagle's neck, or is that the Indian's neck...now I'm confused.

Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks

Had I from old and young !

Instead of the cross, the Albatross

About my neck was hung.

Or you could just vape what tastes good for you and not worry about all that stuff.
