Hi Vapers, important question !

[Mushiku]

Hey all,

I'm still pretty new to vaping. I've been using a Kanger subtank mini and now I'm wondering whether or not I should buy

a 0.15 Nickel OCC Coil Head would be suitable for say,

an eleaf istick 50w or a smok xpro m65.

Could you guys help me out before

Thanks !

Well to my understanding neither of those read temperature, and that's primarily the purpose of nickel builds, so IMO you are better off with good ol' kanthal OCCs

And now another question too, what are the differences between these kanthal wires ?

 

[jseah]

You can only run nickel wire builds on mods with temperature control. The resistance of nickel wire is so low that either it won't work in a mod without one, or it would fry.

So that would mean that I would need a DNA 40 Mod with it right ? Damn, those things are pricey.

 

[jseah]

Correct. Either a DNA40 or the YiHi SX350J (SX Mini M Class) or the YiHi SX330 v4S (IPV 4). The IPV 4 will be the cheapest mod you can find with temperature control, selling for around $90-$100.

If your mod can fire above .1Ω you CAN use a NI200 coil. I am using dual claptons on my DNA40, but have kanthal under the Ni200 so it doesnt read the temp right. I have it set at 40 watts and I'm vaping just fine.

That said, you are using a tank. I don't use tanks with premade coils so I can't confirm or deny whether or not it would work. without burning the cotton.

I'm thinking of getting the HCigar DNA 40 based on some reviews on YouTube

I have 2 mods currently. One of which is the Eleaf iStick 50W and the other a Smok x65 mPro. Also, I think I'd stick with the pre-built coils !

Unless you're doing a res/non res build, the nickel wire isnt going to help you read temps unless you get a mod thats built to read them

The Smok Xpro M80 Plus has temp control at a decent price.

The smok xpro m80 plus temp control has issues. I would say go for the hb dna 40. Evolve chips are solid aside from the screen glitches. If you can afford a vaporshark rdna 40 I'd say go for that cause the new ones have the updated chips. I have the vs rdna 40 and no glitches even after a whole month.

Just watched a review on the Heatvape Invader Mini. It can be purchased for around $70.00. Uses a DNA 40 "type" chipset.

 

[RichJr]

Teslacigs has a 2 TC mods now. They are pretty nice looking. No info on price though.

 

[pghman]

You can use the nickel coils on a mod that can fire that low without issue, you just wont get the benefits of temp control. Also you may want to research nickel and see the side effects of over heating it (not a problem with TC)

 

[mshinall]

I think both the Isticks only handle down to 0.4 ohms

Thanks for the heads up ! I hope it isnt going to be a problem like the Smok m65

A kanger OCC nickel coil at .15 ohms? Do either of your mods fire down to .15? If you want temp control, I'd recommend the SX Mini M Class mod, it has the yihi sx350j chip inside, which can fire down to .08 ohms according to yihi and is firmware updatable. Plus, it is one fine looking mod!

 

[RichJr]

The 20 watt iStick goes down to 1 ohm.
The 30 watt iStick goes down to 0.4 ohm.
The 50 watt iStick goes down to 0.2 ohm.

Damn, so it won't work i guess until i get a DNA 40 MOD...
