About to start using my Triton vv and have some questions

[devil495]

After doing some reading I downloaded and printed a chart which, as I understand it, says that with a stock coil 2.2-2.4 ohms, the highest I should set the voltage is about 4.2. After that I should expect to fry the juice or pop the coil. Also, if I understand the chart correctly with a 2.2-2.4 coil set at 4.2 volts I would be vaping at approximately 7.75 watts.

The Halo website says it recommends using a 3.0-3.2 ohm coil with the vv for "the fullest range of flavor."

This is where I am getting confused. If I do get a pack of 3.0-3.2 ohm coils and install them in a Triton tank, then according to the chart referred to above I would have to set the voltage on the vv to about 5 volts to get the same 7.75 watt burn, which is beyond its maximum of 4.8 and at 4.8 and I would be vaping at about 7 watts.

So wouldn't upping the coil resistance actually reduce the range of flavor rather than increase it as suggested by Halo? Of course I undertand it would be safer for the coil and probably make it last longer, but wouldn't that also reduce the battery time for each charge because it is taking more power to heat the higher resistance coil?

LOL, I thought vaping was going to be easy but the more I learn the more complicated it seems to get.

So what is everyone else doing for coils with their vv and am I at least on the right track here in understanding what a vv does?

Here's the truth...it's all preference. I use a variety of OHMs, pop my tank on my VV and start at the lowest setting on the VV, try a few vapes. And then I will slowly increase and try a few more. I will continue this until either it tastes slightly burnt or I find my sweet spot.

There is no set rule on which ohm to use or what volts to set, the chart show optimal range with all things being equal. It doesn't factor in the juice being used. Some juices can "take" higher volts some don't, IMO. And it depends on what tastes good to you.

I may vape VOODOO in the mornings at a lower volt and evenings higher. I have found my sweet spot with it is right around 4.3.

Welcome Devil495! I'm not a tinkerer so maybe one of the scientific people will answer you shortly. What I can tell you is most of us use the 2.2-2.4 standard coil in the VV battery.

I do have a juice that doesn't like a warmer temperature for juice. So to get a cooler vape I'm using it in the 3.0-3.2 coil I'm getting a reduction of vaper produced but I'm getting a better flavor with it. When I used it with the 2.2-2.4 it brought out more of a black pepper taste than the cherry flavor I wanted.

I'd stick with the 2.2-2.4 coils but if you have it dialed down to 3.3 on the VV battery and are enjoying it there then maybe go up to 2.6-2.8 or the 3.0-3.2 to enjoy a different range of cooler flavors. But if on the standard coil you have the VV dialed up high and are enjoying the flavor there you might consider using the 1.8-2.0 coil to bring out more warm flavor.

I haven't burned a juice at higher resistance on the 2.2-2.4 standard coil but different juices can bring out different flavors at different resistance.

Sorry I know I'm probably not giving you the answers you need so hopefully one of the others will be here shortly to help you!

If you want the equations for the current, resistance and volts, I'll give them. But I have a VV, and I don't vape equations.

The VV goes from 3.3 to 4.8 You should find a spot where it's all working for you. Twist a little, vape. Twist again. Vape.

I've had mine for 5 weeks and other than playing, I'm seldom outside of 3.6 to 4.1v. Now maybe Halo is saying with a high ohm coil, I'd have a wider range, the adjustment wouldn't be so touchy.

(Some people don't know you can set it anywhere between the values marked on the tube.)

If you are at the limit, like you are at 3.3 and it's burning and too hot, then you have to go to a different coil (if you guessed higher resistance, then you are catching on). Likewise, if you are all the way up on volts at 4.7, and you aren't getting a burn, then a higher coil is indicated.

I haven't tried a reg 2.2 ohm vs a 3.0 ohm with the VV to see if there's a difference. If it ain't broke...


(but one more big juice order, and I might be...)

I'm with Dave on this one. I have two VV's and have only ever used the OEM coils that come in the tanks. My coolest vapes well at approx. 3.6vdc, but it's a very thin juice. I crank them up to 4.3vdc occasionally, though Dave may think I'm crazy, and have never gotten a good taste above that. I can't see myself buying anything but the standard 2.2ohm in the future, but who knows.

I use the standard coils on my vv too. I'd never remember which were which if I started mixing!

I just got my V V battery last week along with the 3.0-3.2 ohm coils and I do think its a wider range than when I use my 2.2 -2.4 coils. I can turn it up to the highest voltage without worrying that Im gonna burn out my coil. I initially thought I'd like the cooler vape but now tht Im trying all the settings out, Ive noticed I hit my sweet spot on my fav flav (butterscotch and bavarian cream) at around 4.7 volts. I got all confused by the physics involved as well, but then finally I just put my coil resis of preference in my tank and just started trying them all out, and trust me, as long as u stay under the "burn out" point, you'll find a setting you like.

Good luck and stay vaping

Not at all crazy for that, (I had a typo, fixed.) I'll vape at 4.3, maybe sometimes 4.5? But I agree. With standard coils, anything over that is way hot!!

And not even crazy for your avatar. Mr. Manning is going to make the young upstart Seahawk Defense much better next year by exploiting and showing them their weaknesses on Sunday. He has to catch up to his lil bro with rings.





(And I'll be watching this whilst vaping at about 3.7 on some Torque + tribeca with the VV, getting the beautiful Blue VV messy with wing grease...)

+1 for the wing grease! That's the way we do it!

Yea, my Jets are undefeated in the super bowl.

I actually generated a spreadsheet which shows the power for a standard battery (3.7V) using each coil. It also shows the range of a VV battery (3.3V to 4.8V) using each coil.

It should show below (if I used the attachment feature correctly).

That is awesome, especially since we can just plug in what we want to see....

Ahhhh, Excel, one of humanities greatest inventions

I tried all of the coils but just use the standard ones in the VV Tritons now. I also use non-regulated Tritons, so it is easier for me to just buy the standard ones. I adjust by taste on the VV, not math.

torque + tribeca interesting !

When I charge my VV battery the blue led turns on, does this happen to all of them? My 650's don't do that so I found it a bit odd.

Yep, the fire button on the battery of my blue VV stays on the entire time when it's on the charger.

I'm wondering if everybodys USB light stays solid red while the blue light flashes every second non-stop for the full 2 hours before going solid blue?? Is that normal or do I have a wonky USB adapter?

 

[Penguins17]

The blue light on my USB charger blinks according to how close it is. Once every 6-7 seconds when I first start charging, then over 2 hours it speeds up until it is blinking rapidly. Then for about 5 minutes, it is solid blue and read, making it purple. Then the red goes away and it's just blue and fully charged.

It happens with my VV and my 650's.

Does anyone know why the button stays lit while charging the VV's?
