Aspire nautilus mini

[danny01]

hi ive got a aspire nautilus mini on a istick and ive got a 1.8ohz on my istick is says 2.0ohz coil on istick is that normal thanks

Yeah, I get that all the time, it's normal.

Thank you for that Ricky is just I had aspire k1 be4 and that use to say 1.9ohz when I had 1.8ohz coils I was going to get 1.6ohz coils but I need to find out if I can get like 12-14w out of them ones lol

Apparently, the reason for the Ohm reading discrepancy is that the device (any device) is reading the total resistance of contact+bottom coil assembly+coil, not just the coil on its own. This is why you usually get a slightly higher reading than the nominal coil resistance. Additionally, the Ohms of the coil will tend to increase with use and also vary slightly with the consistency of the e-liquid used.

So really is nowt to worry about I use the wattage bit and it stay at 11w

There is a theory that higher ohm coils are larger so have larger contact area with the wicking material and therefore are able to vaporize more juice. (the subohm high power race seems to counter this)

I've heard that the 1.8ohm coils are rated to 6v which equates to ~20W. The 1.6ohm coils are rated to 5V which equates to ~15W.

While I've heard some say that 13W is the 'sweet spot' for nautilus tanks personally I run my 1.8's between 6-10W as much more than that I get way more 'cloud' than I need or can use.

The resistance seems to go up when the coil is getting gunked up. I soak them in super heated water after every other refill.

I run my at 11w and I get a fair bit of cloud and a nice sweet taste (aniseed) with air hole open full
