Coils Coils Coils

Hey guys, so i've been wondering.
I ordered some 1.5 ohm premade coils on fast tech the other day for a patriot rda, does adding 2-4 more coils change the ohm of the whole rda or will it keep at a medium around 1.5?

Hi iitzBeast and welcome to the ECFs

If you set up two 1.5's as a dual coil set up your final resistance is 0.75 Ohms. Quad Coils work the same way - if you want a final resistance of say 1.5 Ohms then you need four 6 Ohm coils (which wouldnt really give you any vapor - your wattage is divided between the 4 coils - so 15 watts is only giving 3.75 Watts of power to each coil). Hope this helps!

So if I want a 2.0 reading and I'm doing 2 coils I'd have to make each coil a 4 ohm? Would I be better off making one coil at 2 ohms? I'm not using a mech mod, I'm using a regulated mod.

Thanks for the welcoming .

Well i'll be running it on a tesla m2 and a sony vtc4 2100 mAh 3.6 v Li-Ion battery. I dont really know how much watts that would bring out, so i'm trying to get it at maybe a .2 or .3 ohms area, i bought a ohm meter for the safety.
And is nicotine level a big difference cause i run 24 mg on a smoktech sid with a mega twix dual clearomizer and the lowest volt or watt burns coughs my throat when i go for the throat hit

Yes and Subjective. I like a single better, some like a dual. As far as battery life and power per coil you will have more of each with a single coil build on a regulated mod

You can use an Ohms Law calculator if you dont want to remember all of the formula's for calculating Amps/Watts/etc. Use 4.2 for Volts (fully charged battery) and enter your metered final resistance of a new build and it will give you the amps and watts.

For Example 0.3 Ohms and 4.2 V = 14 Amps and 58.8 Watts

Voltage divided by R (resistance in Ohms)=Amps and The the power P in watts (W) is equal to the squared voltage V in volts (V) divided by the resistance R in ohms (Ω) in case you want the formulas.

That all being said - this is a great resource of info and charts: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion-safety-battery-info-warnings.html

Many say it is, I was already using 0,3,6 down from 24 by the time I started using RDAs. I can tell you my friend uses 24 and was bowled over using mine even diluted to 12, but others dont experience this effect - so its certainly possible. You can always dilute what you have already with VG if you find it to be to strong. a 50/50 dilution would make 24mg become 12.
