Help! Discouraging iClear 30!

General Safe Vaping Power | Voltage | Resistance | Ohm Chart

Theres the ohms chart...
Wether you look at 2 ohms or 4.... 11 is too high.

The highest i go is 8.5 watts.

Im not sure what device you were using before. So maybe one reads more precise than the other if it was a vv.

I also second the carto tanks. Www.desertvapes.com has the smoktech dcts on the cheap.
I get my cartos from ibtanked. The smok techs would need an xl size.

You can try soaking the iclear30 in vodka overnight, that is if you havnt burned the wicks too bad.

Good luck with your vape.

If you are using the typical 2 ohm single coil, at the typical 5 watts, the voltage is 3.1 volts.
If you are using 4 ohm single coil, same guage and wire type, just twice as long, at the same 5 watts, the voltage is 4.5 volts.

Now, if somebody makes up a dual coil using 2 of those same 4 ohm coils as above, inparallel, what voltage do you want to use?
Well with the 4 ohm single coil you were using 4.5 volts; if you use the same 4.5 volts, the coil will respond the same way, and vape as it should at the same temperature; (it will actually be a little higher because of the close proximity to the other coil);

So I would expect a dual coil (using typical coil wire) to use twice as much power; and a quad coil to use 4 times as much power.

The Watt is the unit of power most referred to when talking about vaping and other electronic gear.
as resistance decreases, amperage increases.
Volts x Amps = Watts

your logic, stating that a duel coil will use half the power of a quad coil is NOT ALWAYS correct and here is why,.

MOST RDA bases made for duel coils have 3 posts, one in the center and 2 on each side.
there are 3 types of electrical circuits series, parallel and Series Parallel.
a Parallel circuit when you run duel coils on a 3 post device
a Series-Parallel circuit would be like 2 coils per post for a total of 4 coils (2 in between each post)
so the math is still the same. for example
parallel duel coil: 2 coils (one per branch) at 3 ohms each means an over all circuit resistance of 1.5 ohms
Series-Parallel quad coil: 4 coils (two per branch) at 3 ohms per branch still means over all circuit resistance is 1.5 ohms.
now i have seen a few devices that have 1 post in the center and 4 around the sides that will let you do a parallel quad coil...
if you have a device that can run 4 coils in a parallel circuit and each of the coils are 3 ohms over all circuit resistance will be .75 ohms.
electricity will always try to take the path of least resistance, so when you add parallel branches you are giving the electricity more paths to flow. adding parallel branches will decrease over all circuit resistance because it reduces friction, and friction is lot of what causes resistance (ohms).
(you can run a series-parallel quad coil on an RDA with 3 posts, setting that up gets a bit tricky)

Each his own.

Honestly think you coulda gave it another chance ;( haha new coil would have done it for ya imo.

Check out IBtanked or crazy vapes cartos

I'll tell all you guys that i'm vaping my iClear at 8 watts and it starts to get burnt ma friends.

Yeah man I run an iclear30S now. I was running the iClear30 first though. A 2 ohm coil head should be burnt at about 3.7-3.9volts I would assume. Atleast that's from my experience with it and I got about 1.5-2 weeks off a coil.

how much power you should run a coil is dependent on more factors than just the ohms
the thickness of fluid the air flow and even the air temp in the room ( or outside ) will play a
significant roll in how much power you should give the coil.
my advice always start low and work your way up once the wick and coil are gunked up its really hard to go back.
i start my VV device off at 3.3 or 3.5 ohms and work my way up over the course of the first few drags once i get it dialed in i stop adjusting the power and vape until im satisfied. then turn it back down and put the device back in its case.
