Changing to Ni200

[n30nex]

I'm picking up an IPV3 Li today from B&M, I'm going to get a pair of new batteries to marry into it as well. My question is that a friend gave me a spool of 26g ni200 and I want to put a duel temp-control build onto my Troll rda with that. I have no experience and TC kind of scares me. What I think I understand is that I cannot dry fire ni200, and that I need to be as close to the resistance I set on the mod for the coils.

Steam calculators have been telling me 18 wraps of nickle will get me 0.15~, I am just curious how large (and spaced) a nickle coil will I need to be making to go duel down to 0.15? I feel like its going to be like 30~ wraps (!) each. Help is needed. Advise or anything haha.

If you increase your ID your coils wont need as many wraps. Its still going to take alot of wire to get your .15ohms on a dual coil. Im certain there will be someone replying soon who knows MUCH more than I about TC mods and how to build for them.

This is why most people do not use dual coil nickel builds. Each coil would need to have too many wraps to get the combined resistance up. If you insist on a dual coil, you may want to target 0.07 or 0.08 ohms rather than 0.15 ohms.

Aww I was hoping to cram a duel into it, I will try my best ! I am not sure if the ipv3 will fire at 0.07, I might have to go for 0.1.

Honestly, I have had a lot better luck in TC mode with singles myself. It's just easier to do. This was a wrench as I am a dual-coil (Foggers!) man from way back. I have, however, found a solid replacement in the Lemo 2 Tank, and that's what I'm using for TC work. It is possible to get a dualie build (at least in a Fogger) on a TC mod, but I found it necessary to use 32ga wire. Try not to shudder when the ohmmeter reads .1, lol. I'm pretty much moving to the Lemos for my daily driver-- it's an excellent tank and breathes about as well as a dripper; not to mention the only top-fill tank I have that doesn't flood the deck when being re-sealed after filling. I'd take a hard look at it, seriously. You're talking 30ish bucks for an authentic.

I'm looking into temp controll too. Got a iPV4 a few weeks ago and haven't played with it yet. I have a 1/4" coiling jig, so I did the math on that for a .1 build. I think it was like 11 or 12 wraps at that ID. I'm not entirely sure it is going to fit in any of my drippers, but I'm gonna give it a try.
