Exxus Quick Brief
What You Should Know
A quick rundown of the main points, questions, and guidance you'll find in this guide.
Overview
Voltage is the dial that shapes almost everything about an oil session: flavor, cloud size, and how fast your battery and material run down. This guide explains what changes as you move the voltage up or down.
The short version is simple. Lower voltage runs cooler for fuller flavor and longer battery life, while higher voltage runs hotter for bigger clouds and faster material use. The best setting is the one that fits how you like to vape.
Key Takeaways
- Higher voltage heats faster and hotter, which produces bigger clouds but uses material more quickly.
- Lower voltage runs cooler, which tends to bring out more flavor from your oils.
- Lower power settings generally give you longer battery life.
- If you want the boldest clouds, pick a device rated for higher voltage output.
- There is no single correct setting, so it helps to test a range and note what you prefer.

Category Breakdown
Below, the full guide breaks down the category, how people use it, and how to choose within it.
Think about this, when you warm a pastry in the oven, you can taste every bit of its flavor—blueberry, lemon, poppy seed, and so on. When you puff your essential oils at a specific temperature of 2.6V, you’ll start to savor the distinctive taste of strains.
When vaping, every feature matters. From flavor to battery life, voltage settings create a different inhalation for every session.

Know The Difference
The higher the voltage, the faster and warmer your device gets. Therefore, high voltages use up materials much more quickly than usual. A lower setting, on the other hand, provides vapor that is fainter and will offer a stronger potency to its flavors.
Taste
Flavors of your materials are highly essential during a session. If you want to taste the potent flavors of your oils, it is recommended to increase its voltage setting from a low-mid level. A low-level setting produces fainter clouds but delivers the best flavors of your essential oils.

Battery Life
It’s just like every other device. The lower the power, the longer your battery life is. It’s that simple. Everything just depends on how you like to warm up your materials. If you are trying to save battery and make sure your oils last, then turn it down a notch!

Cloud Production
If you love big clouds of vapor, then turn it up! However, make sure to keep in mind that high voltages will affect flavor and battery life if you want to achieve the boldest clouds.
Tip: Make sure your device of choice is strong enough for a cloud-chasing game. Check out the Exxus Snap VV.
Everybody is different, and we all have preferences! Vaping takes knowledge, and every session should be phenomenal. This is not to show you how to vape the right way but it is to show you your own way of enjoying your sessions. Whether the voltage is high or low, you can never fail to have a blissful experience of everlasting clouds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Category Guide FAQs
Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.
How does voltage change flavor?
Lower voltage runs cooler and tends to preserve more of your oil's flavor, while higher voltage runs hotter and can mute flavor in favor of larger clouds.
Does higher voltage use more battery?
Yes. Higher voltage draws more power, so it can shorten battery life and burn through material faster than a lower setting.
What voltage should I use for the most flavor?
A low to mid setting usually delivers the fullest flavor. It produces thinner clouds but a cooler, more flavorful draw.
What voltage is best for big clouds?
A higher setting produces the densest clouds. Keep in mind it can reduce flavor and battery life, so use a device built to handle higher output.
