SR is Standard Resistance, which was once ~3 ohms. It varies from 2.8-3.2 ohms. LR is usually 2 ohms or less, and HR is 4 or above.

It is a measure of the atomizers ability to resist the flow of electricity. The lower the resistance, the greater the amount of current that flows thorugh it, and the hotter the atomizer will get, producing more steam. The HR atties are meant for High Voltage devices.

In the end, it's the amount of WATTS the atomizer is producing, so if you have a LR atomizer on a standard 3.2-3.7V battery, you're probably hitting 7-9 watts, maybe more. WIth an HR atty on a 5V battery, you're still going to hover between 7-10 or 12 watts.

Match the resistance to the battery to acheive the amount of watts you want...
