Firing at 50 watts on ipv2

[Chapel76]

Hello fellow vaporians. [emoji16]

I want to build a coil that can be fired at 50 watts. What build should I do. So far those that I have done can only go as high as 40 watts, it gets really hot.

I have a stillaire, plumeveil and magma to fiddle with. Wires, I got 30awg, 28awg and 24awg.

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dual 3/4 wrap 24g 1/16" dia at 4.2v will get you to 50w. There's several coil building programs out there. I use vapers toolbox.

The Magma is going to have trouble handling much above 40W due to the reduced chamber, lack of heat dissipation fins, and limited airflow. You could try it, but I imagine the vape will be too hot to be comfortable. You'll probably have more success with high wattage builds on the Plume Veil. On the IPV2, you want to go for maximum surface area and higher resistance. One way to maximize surface area is to use multiple strands of thinner gauge wire in parallel or twisted around each other with a drill, and use those to wrap your coils. You could also wrap your coils with more loops. 24 awg can easily handle the high wattage, but the resistance is too low and also it will give you less surface area to transfer the heat from the coil to the juice. The 30 awg will give you more surface area, but the wire is too thin to handle high wattage and can pop if you try to push too much current through it. 28 awg is a pretty good balance between the two. I have had good results with dual twisted 28 gauge coils. You can play around with the number of wraps and diameter of the coils to find what works best for you. I usually do 8-10 wraps around a 2-2.5mm screwdriver depending on the size of the build deck I have to work with.
