There are two ways to go...

1. You can learn the mostly electrical and a bit of math knowledge to confidently figure it out for yourself... which requires effort and time on your part.

2. Have a total stranger make a recommendation... for a build only a few tenths of an Ohm away from a dead short. As your APV is somewhat idiot proof, you won't likely get hurt, but then again, the build you copy may not be optimal for the wattage.

I do the first way... and can offer numerous guides and personal instruction.
If on the other hand you want the second way - and I'm not here to judge you if you do - you'll need to wait a bit for that total stranger. :rolleyes:

You will not have a very satisfying vape on an istick 50W pushed to it's limits like that. Quad coil's need a lot of power, more power than 50W. Also, the reason a lot of iS50W's are failing is because people are pushing them as far as they can go.

I would recommend building a dual coil setup at 0.7Ω.

Guess I am out of the loops. iS50's failing?? I've been running mine daily with a dual .3ohm build on my derringer for 4 months now with zero issues. Something I should be aware of?

And thanks for the advice - ill keep it low key and enjoy the vape.

What hes getting at is this: If your ohms are too low your device just simply wont fire... for a few reasons you can learn about on your own (You dont want me writing pagees on this stuff trust me) Luckily the mod you are using has a chip that will stop it from even firing if the ohms are too low. Id suggest reading up on ohms law here on the forums. There's a plethora of information on it. Once you understand it you will realize why the device wont fire if the resistance is too low

Not quite what I was getting at, but good points nonetheless. I'm talking about the ones that are auto-firing and few that have caught fire. Many of the failures have been because they are being pushed way too hard.

I was also trying to say that 50W isn't nearly enough power to fire quad coils. Lets put it this way, a quad coil setup on a mech mod at 0.2Ω would be at 88.2W and even then, the ramp up would be quite slow. You would likely need 100W+ to fire that and have a decent vape.

The higher the resistance, the more wire, and the longer ramp times (however, your voltage will increase which will help). An iStick 50W simply is not the correct device for that kind of build.
