Herakles coil question 0.2 vs 0.6 ?

[shangula]

Just wondering why the 0.2 ohm premade Herakles coils is rated for a lower minimal watt (30 I think) compared to the 0.6 which is rated for minimum 50 watts... Shouldn't it be the reverse?


Not a very dense vape with the heralkes 0.2 in a starre tank at 50-55 watts with the air closed off a lot....

To do with wire used would be my guess. Kanthal A1 l to hit .2 you would need 22Gauge that is way to thick in a stock coil head. Rubber grommet will not sit flat. SS316L is a lot lower resistance and a higher gauge wire (thinner) can be used. For .5 I can use I believe 26 gauge Kanthal A1 to hit that mark. This is only a guess on my part but I don't see any other way. CHEERS!

The .2 is probably NICKEL wire or somthing for TC vaping. If so, not a good idea to get it real hot.

it's kanthal

it's kanthal

Then it's thin wire relative to the wire used in the .5, could be same wire. In this case it may have a higher heat range at lower wattages.
