Extremely disappointed about my new vape

[BiefBink]

Hi all,

So I've been trying so hard for a very very long time to get the most out of my vape but everytime it seems like I am getting rigged as hell by all webshops. Let me explain the story:

I currently have the Ikonn eleaf 220Watt vape.
I am buying & buying new coils but nothing really exciting to join my friends cloud battle.
Why on earth are all my coils so low.
Webshop support says: yeah u shouldnt go to 220watt for the battery.

Now, I have bought the x4 0.15Ohm coil but this is also a big miss buy.
Can someone recommend me how I can get the most vapor out of my vape.

Will be refreshing for a reply

THANKS!

Edit:
Ohm: 0.15
Volt 2.77
watt ~60

100 % VG liquid would help if you haven't already

 

[BiefBink]

Okay, should have mentioned I'm a total (newbie) based on those names. What do you mean with VG Liquid?

 

[BiefBink]

Because I don't think my liquids are the problem. More the coils
Someone can recommend me a good coil?

Max VG juice (most commercial juice is close to max VG nowdays). Maybe its your technique. With a .15 coil there should be plenty of vapor at less than a hundred watts. Open the airflow and see if that helps. If it still not enough then maybe a better tank. If clouds are what you are after the maybe an RDA is your answer. Something like the Drop rda with dual coils

I cannot send in links but can you YouTube: "Cloud vape"
Then the first clip on the video: Biggest clouds compilation 2017 by @mobhookah on ig.
Is that possible to get close or what is the closest I can get?

First of all you haven’t named which model of mod and atty you have so that’s currently impossible. Secondly if you want to make gigantic clouds like those people in videos you need to understand a few things:
1: there are 4 things in eliquid. Flavoring, PG, VG, and (sometimes) nicotine. PG is the base that makes clean flavor and throat hit. VG is the base that makes big puffy clouds. If you want big clouds (god knows why all it does is irritate people) you NEED high VG percentage juices.
2: cloud chasing is basically a sport. As such the people who make the biggest clouds have specialized equipment that generally isn’t good at doing anything else BUT making clouds. They generally vape pure VG no flavoring or nic, and they do it with godawfully large and powerful rigs designed for the purpose. You likely don’t have one of those. Or, if you do you probably want to buy something else because for regular vaping it’s going to be near flavorless and use up truely ridiculous amounts of juice.

I have the Eleaf Ikonn 220 with ELLO Clearomizer with 18650 2x batteries.
Max 220watt. The Eleaf Ikonn mod box has upgrade able firmware with a 0.91 inch display screen.

Does that answer your question?

Hi and welcome.
What brand and model of battery(s) are you using?
What nicotine level is your eliquid?

Cheers

Got to say thanks for all the help guys already.

I have the: 2x Sony VTC6 3120 mAh

You're welcome sir.

More or less. The ELLO is a good DL flavor tank. Sadly the max wattage on really any 2 battery mod maxes out at around 160w with 30amp batteries if you want any kind of battery life at all. You can boost past that but it hits the batteries really hard and the pulsing can get annoying. Anything around 100w is more than a body needs for regular vaping though. I personally generally vape at 20-30w, but I’m a flavor chaser not a cloud chaser.
My knowledge of the ELLO and clearos is in general is pretty limited because I’m a wick and wire guy. If you had a wick and wire tank I could talk heavyweight exotic coils which help cloud production at the cost of basically everything else, but you don’t so I’m afraid I’m of little help.

Someone with more knowledge in that area will likely be along though.

Career? I got the impression that it was a lot like competitive bearding. An odd largely hobby level microsport with enough prize money to support maybe 1 or 2 fulltimers world wide. Like competitive gaming 15 years ago.

Ain't it stupid that a vape gives the option for 220watt. but actually it only can go to 100w?

 

[bombastinator]

Oh it can go high

oh it can go higher... sort of. The companies get around the real world limitations by assuming battery output levels that don’t actually exist. If you HAD a real for true (rather than merely labeled as) 40amp battery the things would probably do it fine. Problem is there’s no such animal.

 

[BiefBink]

Alright alright, so I know your knowledge might be a bit low then but is there someone who could recommend me where my vape will produce a lot/max of vapor my vape can resist?

Not I sadly, but it’s a big site. You may have to wait awhile but chances are someone will know. There’s also some technique and skills involved with competitive cloud chasing I’m not too familiar with that might help. One you’ll sometimes see is people making clouds blow into the vape and wait till vapor starts pouring out the air inlet holes before inhaling. This both clears the lungs and makes sure that all of the air in the lungs is saturated with vapor. It may also nic you out if you’re using nic juices. There are likely others as well.

First thought: voltage reading is low for .15 coil. Right now I'm vaping on a .18 setup (not like yours) at 77 watts and it's pulling 3.75 volts. Crank that puppy up a couple watts at a time every few hits while playing with the airflow. If it's too hot or tastes burnt, need more air or less wattage. Second thought: vtc6 batteries are rated for 15 amp cdr i think and they are reliable batts but you may want to look into getting some lg browns (hg2's) or sony vtc5a's to maximize output at higher wattage.

You want cloud chasing, just throw away any tank that uses drop in coils because if you're trying to compete not one of them will come close to a hard set of dual coils on a dripper.... Mmmm I love it even more when my face is wet!!

With two good batteries it will go higher but as they drain the output decreases.
