Change Coil Resistance

[facedown]

Hi Guys,

I use EVOD 2's and as best I can gather the standard coil is 1.5 ohms. Some juices don't produce all that much vapor or flavor with this coil. Since the EVOD batteries are fixed voltage, would it be reasonable to try a 1.2 ohm coil for these?

sure.

But realize by dropping to 1.2, you'll likely find it a warmer vape.

Changing resistance, as you've surmised, changes flavor... this WILL also be true of the juices that do work fine for you now at 1.5.

The other factor, could be PG/VG level... higher PG juices carry flavor better, higher vg juices produce more and thicker vapor.

I'm not sure that an EVOD battery will recognize 1.2 ohms as a valid reading. I think it will be below the battery's build-in short protection threshold, assume you have a short, and refuse to fire. It might fire, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.

The EVOD 2 is dual coil, isn't it? On my eGo battery, I don't enjoy dual coils very much. I rarely get good flavor/vapor production, because dual coils split the battery-supplied power between the two coils. For that reason, you may want to try something single coil, like the original EVOD BCC (it's becoming my favorite clearomizer for a fixed voltage eGo battery).

This will generate the same amount of vapor-producing heat as the EVOD 2, but it will be concentrated on a single coil. I find this to give more vapor, and I prefer it, personally.

The higher the VG ratio produces more cloud vapor.

Good Luck to You....Happy Vaping!!!

And if it does fire you may fry the batteries circuity. Most "Ego type" batteries have a 2.5A limit.

Yep, single coil is better with a evod battery. I had a aspire ets bdc and while it worked the coil died fast so I put in a single coil with cotton wick and it hits much better on a evod.

It took me a while but I finally found the factory specs for the 1000mAh model. It's actually 3A but that would limit R to just above 1.2 ohm so it's not worth it. I'll just try those juices again when I get a higher wattage rig.

Thanks Susan~S and all else who replied!
