1.8 coil - says 4.2 - 5 volts

[tara81]

Hi everyone,

I use the nautilis mini, with 1.8 ohm coils. Before I used to enjoy using 9 watts, but nowadays I find myself going higher, to 11-12 watts. (on a regulated target mini device). Is it okay to go this high? Ohms law would say this is dangerous , but the coil says it can go to 5 volts, and at 12 watts , its like 4.8 volts.

Why does ohm's law say this dangerous? 1.8 coil with a 12W draw is only like 2.5 amps. I don't know what battery you/the mod uses, but i'd in awe if it couldn't handle 2.5 amps.

And you're on a regulated mod. If it works you should be OK to do it.

I guess what I mean is this chart says its dangerous https://ecigarettereviewed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/vaping-power-chart.png

That chart doesn't really say it is dangerous just that the RED is too hot a vape.

You are using Wattage not Variable voltage on the regulated mod. If you like the vape, you are good to go. Whatever voltage the mod shows isn't necessarily what the coil is receiving. Wattage is being controlled by the mod.

If it vapes and tastes good you are fine. The vape isn't dangerous until you hit 470F. At that point the coil begins to create some unwanted chemicals. 11-12 watts isn't a problem. I vape around 10W and in TC mode that's about 200F. I don't care much for hot vapes.

Thank you everyone! How do you know what is the highest you can go on these types of coils? I enjoy MTL and dislike subohming So I prefer 1.2 ohm - 1.8 ohm coils. They only say volts not wattage on the coil. And my mini uses variable wattage, not voltage.

 

[Beamslider]

You find that out by starting a low wattage and gradually increase the wattage until you are happy with the results. A new coil may also need some break in time at a lower watt that normally vaped at.

Authentic aspire nautilus heads have had the voltage and wattage printed on them for about a couple years now.
Voltage on one side, watts on the other.

Sounds like you're getting really old stock or knock off / counterfeit heads.

Always vape to your personal tastes not to a number or chart.

You say you don't enjoy subΩ, have you tried the nautilus .7Ω head?
They work quite well, as cool or as warm as you like depending on the power you use.

oI'd say going above a coil's recommended wattage may shorten it's life, but I don't believe the wattage you are targeting is necessarily there (sorry don't have it in me to like, check a 1.8 coil stored in the closet, but I think you should be fine.

I have used the 1.6 coil, and that might allow you higher wattage that is still within the targeted "range." It's actually my favorite coil of all three, just enough (a hair) higher wattage and a slightly less restricted "experience."

If you want a warmer vape in that tank, trying the 0.7 coil is not a bad idea. It was a bit much for me, although I found it useful when I was vaping higher VG, and for sure, you could probably go higher on that coil than the other two without compromising coil life as much if you want to go higher wattage. You'll use more battery and more juice, but really, finding the "correct" coil for you may be your best bet to avoid worry. I neither loved nor disliked the coil, but I'd think at higher wattage ranges, you'd get a better vape experience, and coil life. Although I don't think the wattages you are mentioning are a HUGE worry either, except for the possibility of overheating your 1.8 coil and possibly shortening its useful life.

I think all three coils are pretty distinct actually and tend to just be slightly different in terms of vape, draw and etc. If you want to up your wattage, opening airflow some may help keep tank temperatures lower as well.

Best of luck,

Anna

Ive tried 1.2 ohm naut coils and disliked it . No idea why. Tasted perfumy . The only reason i go higher is to taste the juice, i dont mind if its warm or not. Cant wait to try rta’s. Ordered a few awhile ago, still waiting for them.

Try it out at various wattages until you find the sweet spot for flavor. If you start to taste slightly burned flavor you've gone too high. That will be the point where the coil starts producing unwanted and probably dangerous aldehyde chemicals like Acroliene. The vape will start to taste a little like burned fat if you go too high in wattage for the coil.

Authentic aspire nautilus bvc heads are only available in .7Ω, 1.6Ω & 1.8Ω.

Authentic aspire nautilus bvc heads are only available in .7Ω, 1.6Ω & 1.8Ω.

Its called aspire triton mini atomizer, works in naut mini. Says its compatable on the box and has a security code.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Yes the triton mini & nautilus heads are interchangeable, sorry I didn't see you mention using triton mini heads in your nautilus.
Those too should be marked with watt range on the head.

The triton mini 1.8Ω claptons work well also if you haven't tried them.


The 1.2Ω triton mini heads (white o rings) should be marked 15-20w
triton mini heads 1.8Ω Clapton ( yellow o rings) should be marked 13-16w

Cool to see that old chart again. That chart probably had more to do with design and materials of the products than ohm's law.
Twas back when airflow Restrictors were popular. If you can imagine people complaining about too much air, lol.
