Dangerous voltage for 1.6ohm coil?

[Rimack]

I've got a nautilus with a 1.6ohm coil, and an istick 50w. On the side of the coil it says 3.2v-5v, and I want to know if that's just a guideline or a limit for the coil.

I'm running it at 4.8 volts, but I get better flavor and vapor at 5.5 volts. There are no wicking issues or burnt taste at 5.5v, but I don't want to damage the battery or the coil. Any advise would be great thanks!

I think it's OK as long as you are not getting burnt/dry hits. It might make the coil not last as long, but I don't see any way it could be dangerous or hurt your battery.

I know that some people have questions about the wicking material used in those coils, and whether or not it might flake off and be inhaled, but I don't think what you are talking about would have much bearing on that. You're not talking about that big a difference between 5v and 5.5v.

4.8v/1.6ohms= 3 amps E/R=I you aren't no where near damaging range of a decent 18650 battery, besides the iStick 50w is a regulated device.


P.S
P=IxE 3Ax4.8v=14.4watts

If its vaping well no worries

Yeah, just a "guideline" find the sweetspot that gives the best flavour and vaper and bobsuruncle. Cheers.

I use my mini naughty 1.6 ohm heads at 12.5w and that is 4.6v. Aslong as it tastes nice and not burnt everything should be fine.
The istick is a regulated device so basically the chip inside will keep it safe.
Wierdwille was talking about ohms law, its important on a mechanical device (just a battery with no circuitry ) as too many amps for a battery is dangerous.
