Hi everyone,
So, I have been vaping for a while now (about a year with a short break in the middle) but have just, as of a week and a half ago, went to sub ohm vaping and I had a question I was hoping someone here could answer. Before I go on, I'll list my gear before I forget (all coils mentioned are purchased - I don't know how to wrap my own coils yet).
IPV4S 120W
Kanger Subtank mini using 0.15 nickel coils
Horizon Arctic Subtank using 0.2 nickel coils
I only use the nickel coils in temp mode (I've really only been using temp mode so far)
So here's my story... Started out 1.5 weeks ago buying an EvicVT. Everything seemed cool - I was vaping the Kanger at about 40watts 470 degrees (F). Then my girlfriend wanted to get into vaping and she really liked my Evic so she bought an IPV4S (which I kind of wanted) and we swapped - she took the Evic and I took the IPV4S. Here's where the issue comes in. The Arctic tank I can vape fine on my IPV at similar temps to what I was doing on the Evic. But when I try to vape my Kanger subtank at the same temps I was using on the Evic, the vape is way too hot. If I turn the temp down from like 440 to like 350, then the kanger seems to perform fine so I don't get it. Why is the temp so wildly different between these 2 devices on the same tank/coil/juice? Any thoughts?
I always prime my coils by dripping some juice on the wick windows and in the top of the coil angled at the cotton. Then doing a few dry pulls on the tank without firing it.
I use mostly juice that is higher in VG - maybe like 30/70 on avg. The juice I'm testing in the kanger right now is Looper by ANML.
Any thoughts here guys? I'm new to the sub ohm vaping and temp control and really want to understand the discrepancy between the temp settings and everything. I've heard people say that they vape the kanger tank with the nickel coils at like 470 (F) but if I try to do that on my IPV, it's like way too hot. Yet, it seems relatively fine in that temp range for my Arctic.
Any help and advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
