    Kick Chip Question for Nemesis Clone

    IMO... Kick inserts have pretty much fallen off most vapists radar. Back when the now comparatively modest 10 or 15 watts was about as good as you could do, sub-ohm wasn't that common and only a relative few enlightened people understood Ohms law and atomizer build "tuning" to optimize fixed...

    Hot e liquid hitting my mouth

    Disregarding wire gauge and coil count (variables which has a substantial effect on coil radiant temperature)... the Ohm's law parity value wattage for a 1.0Ω resistance at 4.2v is 17.7 watts. At that wattage, and assuming a single coil build... if the wire used is 28 gauge or thinner, the heat...

    Kick Chip Question for Nemesis Clone

    What you're trying to do is "force" wattage above and beyond ohm's law parity. Very common these days with high watt APVs... not very common with low watt mech/kick combos. You can certainly do it... and it may even be worthwhile.

    Best, most economical options for rebuild deck for test building coils....

    Then you don't need another old fart holding your hand as we walk that worn, cracked concrete... telling you things you already know... but are too much of an Alzheimery ol' geezer to remember it all. Am I right? ;)

    RDA When do YOU change your coils?

    Under magnification, the coil surface may begin to "freckle" with dk grey, black or dk brown/red coloration. It's a bit of a variable based on other factors, including method of ash removal and user aggression at that task, but... when it stops being a dull silver to bluish silver, it's time to...

    Single or Duel Coil for VV. Specifically iStick 30W.

    You've figured at least one aspect of your issue out. As you've discovered, there's more to sort out what would be the appropriate wattage to apply than just the net resistance. The wire gauge and type used and the number of coils in parallel can effect the coil(s) radiant heat values...

    Can't get my friend to stop smoking no matter what I do!

    I quit smoking a few years ago... it was easy - I stopped smoking Camel Straights, and started vaping, all in one day. I've taken up the hobby aspect of vaping... going so far as to write a user guide for Steam Engine, among other ramblings. My wife and daughter however... even though I'm a...

    RDA When do YOU change your coils?

    Welcome to ECF, Mden... After 4~5 dry firings, brushings and (cotton) re-wickings in multi-parallel coiled RDAs, between .25~.45Ω with 22~26 gauge Kanthal A-1, fired by unregulated mech mods at Ohm's law parity.... pause to breath.... :confused: using dark, sweet, high solids content, quick...

    Mt Baker Vapor relocating from WA to AZ to escape capricious legislation threat

    Being a Washington resident (and oddly enough, I moved here from Phoenix years ago)... I completely understand and support their reasoning for moving to Mesa AZ. As over twenty years is more than enough time to put in as a Puget Sounder... I'm almost tempted to apply for a job with them and...

    Is high wattage a fad?

    The physical properties of the devices we use is one real "limit"... as many of the two-digit IQ types who want maximum vapor but don't understand even the most basic science behind it... couldn't create a "higher capacity" alternative to our present devices, if their lives depended on it...

    Harsh cotton taste

    The Patriot is relatively old style... pre deep drip well. I'm not surprised you get only 5 good draws, especially if you're running two of your "readymade" 0.5Ω coils in parallel... for a net resistance of 0.25Ω and drawing over 70 watts.

    Best, most economical options for rebuild deck for test building coils....

    I tend to agree with RAWR... as far as the logic of somehow expecting the same response from two different atomizers. However, I don't understand the logic of this comment... "hook my coils to for ohm checking and to see how a particular build will fire" It's completely unnecessary... if you...

    RDA Doge v2 quad coil?

    There are two ways to go... 1. You can learn the mostly electrical and a bit of math knowledge to confidently figure it out for yourself... which requires effort and time on your part. 2. Have a total stranger make a recommendation... for a build only a few tenths of an Ohm away from a dead...

    Is high wattage a fad?

    More, denser - and sometimes even more flavorful - vapor is produced through greater coil surface area. Greater coil surface area requires higher wattage to obtain sufficient heat for vaporization. If you have a good understanding of the above... then the question becomes irrelevant, because...

    Best kantal for high wattage?

    The Ohm's law value is only part of the story, and for a VW regulated device provides only a baseline or reference value. The Ohm's law calculated wattage doesn't care about your wire gauge or coils in parallel count... just the net resistance and battery voltage. Coil radiant heat (Heat...

    Best kantal for high wattage?

    Wattage is a relative thing. You can run 10 watts... you can run 250 watts. It's all in the build, and what you're trying to accomplish with it. To learn, you have to read. There's far too much to learn in a post, which is why I suggested the links in my first post.

    Best kantal for high wattage?

    There is no "best" gauge for 50 watts. There are builds that work better at that particular wattage than others... but along with gauge, it's a combination of desired net resistance, coil count in parallel and desired heat flux... the last being representative of coil radiant heat, or perceived...

    hybrid?

    In addition to the above... Originally, a dedicated hybrid mech where there is no top 510 floating or telescopic pin cap. The atomizer, usually an RDA or genesis, either screws directly into the tube, or may be part of the tube, and the battery loads from the bottom. With the advent of...

    parallel box unregulated

    Perfectly fine... although depending on the wire gauge and other variables, the discharge may be a bit "light". Unlike a high-watt regulated mod, you can't "force" wattage to a value above Ohm's law, net resistance parity. Use the Ohm's law formula (V² ÷ Ω = P, where P equals wattage) to...

    Can regulated mods be converted to a mech?

    There's no reason why someone with small device electrical skills couldn't remove a faulty chipset and replace it with the same or updated version. Aside from that, yes... they can be gutted and turned into a high priced semi-mech mod.
