Best resistance coil for VV?

[ThomasC]

Hello everyone, another thread

My Vision Spinner 2 came this morning.

I am running a 2.4 coil. I have had a look at the vaping power chart to see the safe zones.

I have mine set at 3.7 volts for my Collins tutti fruiti flavour.

Looking at the chart am I best to run 3.0 ohm coils with this setup to give me the best flexibility?

I don't want to run any flavours at 4.8v (the highest it will go) and burn out the coil etc. I'm scared as this is all new to me.

I have tried tinkering the flavours with my current flavour, but at 4.8v the flavour just tasted burnt. I think 3.7v is the best with my current one.

So, what is the best coil to stick to? One that will give me the best life out of my coils and vaping experience?

My spinner 2 goes from lowest 3.3 to 4.8v .

thanks in advance.

p.s - just to add my Evod clearo looks silly on my vision battery. Not a massive problem. I am looking to upgrade when I get paid to a Protank 2 and buy an air flow control.

It's really personal preference I like to use lower ohm coils.......usually around 1.5ohms But unsure about your spinner capabilities as I've never owned one. If you have a vape shop around you could try a lower ohm coil in a couple of different ohms to see if you like them To me, a lower ohm coil gives a more "smoking" type feeling to the vape

This is all good, but what scares me is that running a 1.5ohms coil at 4.8v might destroy it? According to my chart the safe zone is 3v to 3.4v for a 1.5ohms which gives me nothing to play with as my spinner starts at 3.3v.

The lower in ohms you go the more power you will make at the same volts.

2.0 - 2.4 ohms is a pretty good atty for that battery. Going with higher ohms will not get you anything in performance and will limit you in other ways. You are limited to 2.5 amps.

Vape on

Disclaimer: This is the most simplistic explanation and is addressed to new vapers or vapers who are happy within the recommended "just right" power zone (4.5-7 watts) and use stock coils.

Ohm's Law as it pertains to vaping is really not that complicated--and it's very useful when you want to know what you're doing.

Voltage and wattage are often misunderstood by new vapers. Wattage is the power (heat, sweet spot) that your PV (battery and atomizer) generates. Wattage = Voltage (of your battery) squared divided by Resistance (Ω) of your atomizer [P=V[SUP]2[/SUP]/R]. If you're not good at math, don't worry, use this easy calculator:

Online Conversion - Ohm's Law Calculator

Of course, if you own a VW (variable wattage) device, you don't really need this calculator because your device will do the math for you.

The wattage you want, especially at the beginning of your vaping career, should be somewhere between 4.5 and 8.5 Watts. Anything lower than 4.5 watts may not vaporize your juice properly and will not produce enough warmth and vapor. Anything above 8.5 watts increases the risk of burning the filler in your cartomizers (if you're using them) or dry with your clearomizers.

There are, of course, other variables, like eliquid and JDD (juice delivery devices) that you're using on your batteries. Seven watts on a filler type cartomizer may feel different than the same 7 watts on a fillerless clearomizer or a dripping atomizer. The same is true for different eliquids; tobaccos, chocolate and coffees generally require more wattage (heat), while fruit and other delicate flavors do better with less heat. Everyone's sweet spot is different--those are just very general guidelines.

If you are using dual coil atomizers, things get a bit more confusing. Dual coil atties consist of two coils configured in parallel, which means that a 2.1Ω atty is really two 4.2Ω coils--so you have to calculate your wattage based on the 4.2Ω number--not 2.1Ω--roughly. Dual coil atties require more wattage than singles, but not quite twice as much. They produce more vapor due to increased surface. I usually increase the power (wattage) by ~50% when using dual coils; for example, if I like 6 watts with a single coil atty, I start at 8-9 watts with a dual coil atty. That's just my preference--YMMV. When in doubt--start low and adjust up as needed.

If you are interested in high wattage (and/or sub-ohm)vaping, that's a different conversation altogether--and not my area of expertise.

Experiment and you'll find your own bliss in no time!

The chart below is a good guide to safe vaping, even though some think it's a bit conservative.

I'm new and bought a spinner an evod and a Sunfire emod. I burned out both clearos within 2 weeks. I had extra coils for the evod so I'm still vaping but daren't go over 3.3. Is the resistance supposed to be moderated by these mods or do you buy special coils even for a mod that came with a variable battery? I've read all the math but it seems like sticking to 3.3 or 3.8 makes most sense. Also...a warning. My spinner has spun in my pocket.

Keep in mind also has to do with the device. Some VV devices shine with say a 1.5-1.8ohm resistance, some really don't play well with anything lover than 2.0ohms.

Technically speaking, it doesn't matter what resistance your coil is. What matters is wattage. Kanger recommends 5-7.5 watts for their coils. That said, I prefer ~2Ω single coils myself--they are the easiest to use, IMO. I usually buy 1.8-2Ω dual coils.

Please see recommended wattages for dual coils in my post above.

And an observation--Kanger coils tend to run a bit higher (+/- .1-.2Ω) than stated.
