Coils for Protank 2 & EGo 1100 Battery

[jbarrick]

I am looking to buy replacement coils for my Protank 2, using a EGo 1100 mAh Battery. My question is what the best Ohm’s coil to get using this battery, 1.5om, 1.8om, 2.2om or 2.5? Everything I am reading about is using a Variable Voltage mod, which is not in the budget at the moment.

Again, my question is what the best Ohm's coil to get using this battery?....... 1.8om?

I don't find any last very long on the 1100 batteries. Need a twist that you can up voltage to 4 or 4.2. Wife uses heads with same coils and they just clog up to quick at 3.7 Volts. Lower the coil the quicker the battery drains. 1.8 to 1.6 ohms I find best.

I think the 1.8 is the one I had the best vape from, but I had spinner batts and could dial them in.

That's a big pile of "it depends."

Since you have a fixed voltage battery you can't adjust anything to suit the resistance of the coil. That, and different liquids produce better (or worse) flavor depending on that combination of coil resistance and battery voltage. In your case you can change the resistance of the coil but can't change the voltage. What that leaves you with is: the lower resistance you choose the hotter the coil gets. And faster. With Kanger BCC stuff that doesn't always turn out to be a good idea.

In my experience I prefer the 2.2 ohm coils. Even the 1.8 ohm coils can get too hot at 3.2 volts on a variable battery. But as I said "it depends" - on your liquids, what you like etc. You best bet would be to pick up some single coils at 2.2, 1.8 and even 2.5 ohm to sort this out.

If you are wondering what you are using now, real Kanger coils have the resistance stamped into them - on the smooth cylindrical section below that flat metal washer. You will need strong light, a bit of rotating back and forth, and possibly a magnifying glass to read it.

Protank 2 used to be one my favorites and overall results with a 1100 mAh battery I've found 2.4 to be the best

I always preferred 1.8ohm coils on a non vv ego...but that's just me. As rickajho said, everyone will have a different opinion. In the long run, it will be cheaper to build your own coils, but there is some up front cost for a meter and some wire and cotton...and you will need the original coil bases to build on anyway.
