help with ody

[negrete35]

ok, here's the problem. I am currently using my ody on a provari. so the high res coils I make, I can get to work just fine. but I plan on using it on the stealth i have on pre-order. I cant get a lo res coil to work. I was just wondering if using a thicker kanthal changes the VTF. if it does, is it a good change or a bad change? I guess I just need help. I dont think there is a better looking combo (imho) than the ody on a stealth. so I really want to make it work the best I can. But i have been very unsuccessful making a low res coil on the ody. I have a V1 and am currently using 32awg kanthal. Thanks in advance.

I use 32 awg kanthal and can get round 1.5 ohms. I had to start using the crimp beads tho. But it works

 

[negrete35]

excuse my ignorance, but what does "crimp the beads" mean?

 

[keighles]

Crimp beads are just that...small beads normally silver that you use to crimp the wires together. some like them but I do not.
In my experience, nichrome works best when making a standard single low res. coil.

If you're using 32 ga or thicker wire you will find it easier if you switch to a thicker nr wire, like 28ga

 

[negrete35]

I thought I should get some 28awg. I think I will put that on order tomorrow.

Why aren't they working? Too low and faulting out the Provari? How low can you get one to work? Do you set the voltage as low as you can to try it? Do you have any of the pre made wires, the are about 1.5 ohm. I use 32g kanthal and 1.5" is right around 2 ohms. They work great on Provari or a straight battery mod.

Hey negrete get yourself a GGTS and you wont have this issue. also what ohms are you creating with your low res coil? If I may suggest a 34 gauge i use it all time to make 1.2 -1.4 ohms single coils. I even make a dual coil out of it and it works great on my ggts and provari.

I've been using 32awg kanthal to make 1.2-1.5 ohm coils for ever. Never had any issues on my Provari, GGTS or Stealth.

I would like to get around 1.1-1.3 ohm coils. I Currently use 32 awg kanthal and 32 awg nickel. It tastes burnt when I get a could that low. Then I open up the juice control until the burnt taste goes away, and then it floods. For some reason, when I set up a 2 ohm coil, I don't run into any issues. But a 2 ohm coil on my the stealth i have coming, probably wont suit me. I like a little more power than that I pretty much push the provari to its limit with my penny. In fact, I push it over the limit if I use an ohms law calculator. 15.3 watts.
