Resistance is the inherited ability of an organism (turfgrass, weed, disease, insect, etc.) to survive exposure to a dose of pesticide (herbicide, fungicide, insecticide, etc.) normally lethal to the wild type of the organism. Continual use of pesticides with similar control mechanisms (modes of action) can result in pests that are resistant to som [..]

Atomizers and cartomizers all have a resistance rating in Ohms.  The easiest way to think of this is that the lower the resistance rating, the “hotter” the heating element will get with less power.  This is why people will use Low Resistance (LR) atomizers of cartomizers on lower powered devices such as the EGO.  It is important to understand that [..]
