1.5 vs 1.8 oms

[Babilonian]

Hi everyone.

A basic question from a beginner.
I ordered duel coil for kangertech emow from fasttech. Then later I realized that the ones I have are 1.8 but I ordered 1.5 by mistake. Can anyone tell me what would be the difference please.?
Now I have my spinner V2 set at mostly 3.8v but occasionally I use 3.3v.

Thanks.

The only diff is that the 1.5Ωs will seem a bit warmer; you might not need to go to 3.8v to get the kind of hit you want.

I checked, and it appears that 1.5Ω will be fine on that Spinner; even at 3.8v, it's only pulling 2.53 amps, so it's safe, I *think* -- I think the Spinners can handle up to 4 amps, but if that's wrong, someone please chime in.

yeah, I have an emow set up I used to run 1.8ohm coils in it too. It was a nicer vape than with the 1.5ohm because I was using thicker fluid that didn't wick as well, and the 1.8ohm coils weren't as hot, so the coils burned a lot less. I am selling my emow stuff on the classifieds though, because I bought an istick 30 and two ego one tanks... at 1ohm, it's a much warmer vape than the emow, but what I realized is that some of the flavors I like really come to life with the lower ohm coil. Others, like cool mint, are actually nice in the emow, and a little over powering in the ego one.

So, you might find that the 1.5ohm coils in your emow might give you a little more flavor at the higher voltage than a 1.8ohm coil would. That might depend on the thickness of the juice too though.

also, the official kanger emow battery designed for the 1.5 ohm emow tanks, is really close to the same thing as a spinner, just without the spinning ring. There's really nothing to worry about using the spinner and kanger 1.5ohm/1.8ohm stuff together.

Allow me to provide a slightly more technical answer.

Watts = ( Volts * Volts ) / Resistance.

Your device's voltage is always 3.7 Volts. As such, a 1.8 ohm coil will be 7.6 watts, while a 1.5 ohm coil will be 9.1 watts.

There are a few of other variables... To change the resistance they could have the gauge (thickness) of the heating wire they used, or the wires length... Depending on how they changed the resistance places a roll because temperature is watts applied over a volume and the resulting surface area.

I didn't realize people still did the replacable heating elements thing, why not twist your own coils and take full control of your vape experience? It is very easy to rebuild coils for the exact device you are using. Two 3 ohm coils in parallel makes a 1.5 ohm dual coil.

aahhhh, yeah, no, except that her vision spinner isn't actually always 3.7volts, it's variable voltage. there's really no compelling reason to make your own coils if you're happy.

My emow's came with 1.5s in them and they work fine with my spinners, so there shouldn't be any problems. I always buy 1.8 replacements though.

For some of us that's a pain in the .... I've rebuilt a few now with kanthal and organic cotton, and honestly, I don't see much of a difference except I spent a bunch of time trying to get that cotton into the coil lol.
