Resistance question

[somdcomputerguy]

I have an istick box mod (thanks @Crowedude654 and MadVapes!) that came with a .02 and a .05 ohm coils for the tank/clearo. I've been using 1.5 ohm coils in the VW mode. I have no intention to goto TC (after trying it once) with the .02, but can I use either or both the sub-ohm coils in VW mode?

Depends on the Istick you have. ensure it is kanthal wire coil and the mod will handle the low ohms.
I had an Istick 50w it has a .2 to 5 ohm range and the istick 30w has a .4 ohm min resistance.
Check the specs on your mod and always practice battery safety and understand ohms law.
Kanthal is for VW mode and Nickle,Titanium,and Stainless steel are for Temp control

TC 60W. Both the .2 & .5 coil heads have 5W - 35W stamped into them. I know the mod and the batteries I have will handle those two coil heads, but I assume the metal in them is Nickel, not Kanthal. I don't know why I used thousandths in my earlier post. Well I know why I made that simple mistake, but I don't know why I didn't catch the error before I posted.. I'm not even going to edit that post, just as a reminder to me..

Yeah looks like you will have to run in TC mode. I personally like the kanthal wire in watt mode, still do not trust the metals in the TC wire yet.
I have noticed that tc coils have colored orings on them. prob varies from vendors. I am no TC expert as I go watt mode all the time.

The o-rings on all three (well I have five 1.5's) are black, but I submitted a request at MadVapes as to what the metals are. I'm pretty much a constant VW'er, but I might have go another round with TC and this .2 coil. Not soon though.. Thanks for your input and replies.

The .5 will be Kanthal.
The .2 I do not know but is likely Kanthal. Generally Nickel is below .2.
