Another newbie question

[lauriejeanne]

I am using a Kranger Evod BCC...the starter pack came with 1.8 coils....a sales associate in the store told me that my unit is compatible with both the 1.8ohm and the 2.5 ohm coils....does anyone know if this is true and if so, what would be the difference between the two coils...more taste? More vapor? Better throat hit?

Yes they are compatible. I've not noticed any difference in taste etc. The 1.8 just takes less power to fire.

 

[Completely Average]

Kanger EVOD BCC coils come in 1.8, 2.2, and 2.5ohms.

The higher the resistance in the coil the cooler it will be. A cooler coil will generally produce less vapor but have a bit more flavor.

 

[Kenho21]

Yes, your device is compatible with either of those coils.

The higher ohm rating of the two (the 2.5ohm) will require more power to achieve the same vape (flavor, throat hit, vapor etc.) than the 1.8ohm.

Is your battery variable voltage?

A good question, yes you kanger clearomizer can take various kanger coils at different ohms. The variation in ohms will change your vape. Assuming you have a regular ego it is designed to fire at or around 3.7 volts IIRC. There is a whole complicated speech that applies but honestly it is probably overkill right now. Again pm me with anything you'd like to ask. But my suggestion is if you like the 1.8 keep using em. Maybe get a different ohm coil or two to try and compare.

I tend to use a lower resistance because I prefer a warmer vape. You will find your sweet spot.

 

[wbart]

My suggestion is buy one of each and see how each stack up. That is the only way that you are going to learn where your sweet spot is. I am currently using VV so I have noticed that I usually go up to 3.7 for the 1.8 and over 4.0 for the 2.5 coils as I like it hot!

No compatability/safety issues there.
Suggest you try the same juice with both coils, and see if you spot any differences for yourself and if you develop a preference based on your own experiences.
You will not need to empty your Evod's juice to do this. Just keep the tank upside down as you unscrew the base and change coil heads. Remember to always let your juice soak a new wick for a few minutes and to take a few unpowered primer puffs before you vape on a new coil setup so you dont get a dry or burnt hit.
Post back here and let us know what YOU think! The discovery process is part of the fun with vaping!
Congratulations on your decision to vape and welcome to the forum!

I will have to include a 2.5 in my next order...will report back with my personal observations....thanks for the input!

"what would be the difference between the two coils...more taste? More vapor? Better throat hit?"

You really can't talk about ohms (the resistance of your atomizer 1.8 or 2.5) without also addressing what battery voltage they're being used with. For instance, a 1.8 ohm atty used at 3.3 volts should be very similar to a 2.5 atty used at 3.7 volts or a bit higher. So, not knowing what voltage you're using, hypothetically, the 1.8 should be a slightly warmer vape with a stronger TH and a bit more vapor if you had a way to test that exactly especially if you're at 3.7 voltage or above. I don't know if you're using variable voltage and changing it. One thing you should know though is that regardless of voltage, a 1.8 ohm atty will drain your battery a bit faster than 2.5 ohms will. Personally, I prefer 1.8 ohms at any voltage below 3.7; above, I prefer 2.2 ohms or 2.5 ohms. At 5 volts, I would prefer even higher ohms. I'm not a subohmer and I don't even "get" them.

I know this is probably more than you wanted to know but its the only way I know to explain. Hope it helps a bit.

Edit: I had to answer the phone mid-posting. There was only one reply when I started. Sorry if I've repeated anything already given. I'm just leavin it without reading.

It was my understanding that the Kanger Evod starter kits came with 2.5ohm coils...at least mine did. On my 3.7v regulated Kanger batts, I prefer 1.8ohm coils. I just like a hotter vape.

 

[furyjoel2]

Try both and decide which you like better!

My Evod owner manual says the battery is 650 mah....it is not variable...

Stick with the 1.8ohm

Your battery should be regulated at 3.6-3.7 volts then. IMO stick to 1.8 or 2.2. I only use kangers atm and have found the best balance between vape and battery life to be the 2.2 on a fixed or vv ego. 1.8 will cost about an hour of batt life and will burn most fruity juices a lot easier where 2.5 will cost the same loss in batt life because you have to take more "warm up" hits as it takes a sec or two longer for the 2.5 to heat up. The 2.5 can be better for fruity juices though since they tend to like a cooler set up. I use vv batts (ego twists and evic) so i stick to 2.2 ohm and just vary the volts/watts to the juice flavor.

 

[CHEAPERS]

I rebuild all of my own Kanger coils right out of the box. Assuming you are using a twist battery, it's just a variable of your battery setting, the juice you are using, and your personal taste. On the higher number coils, you can get more dialing range out of your battery, but less life between charges. On those 1.5's , if you crank it up too high, you are not going to like what you taste. Keep vaping and good luck!

 

[CHEAPERS]

Just saw you are on the fixed voltage. Stick with the lower number coils. You will barely wake up anything over a 2.0

 

[Huckleberried]

I prefer a 2.2 to 2.5 range, myself. I use egos and an MVP. I take a long, slow draw, so if I use a 1.8, I tend to get a burnt taste too fast and too frequently.
