High voltage and ohms on my RBA

[dugiller]

Hi guys

I own an ipv4s and a phantom tank by horizontech.

The stock coil gives me 0.22ohms and 2.77v while vaping at 35W.

I tried using the rba with 28 AWG Kanthal with 5 coils and i get a reading of 1.55ohms, 7.69v at 35W

That's a huge difference in volts and resistance i'm kinda scared of using it as im not really sure what are the dangers of it. Never seen such a high voltage before.

Also, what does the voltage exactly mean since im vaping at Watts. Why is there a reading of voltage? Tried googling many times and I still dont quite understand it.

Sorry if i posted this in the wrong thread.

watts = volts x volts / ohms

Whenever you do a new coil, start at low wattage and move up slowly; don't just jump straight to 35 watts.

The mod outputs a voltage to the coil.

Voltage is just something that is easy to measure.

No mod adjusts the wattage. They are all Variable Voltage. VV VW and TC refer to HOW the mod decides to adjust the voltage it feeds to the coil/s. Most regulate mods will not feed more or less power to a coil than the mod is capable of feeding to the coil. When you go beyond capability they either: do not fire or fire at the minimum/maximum power level available for the OHM coil.

So is there any danger of it being that high? I read some articles saying it is dangerous to vape at 5V and higher as carcinogens are released. Why is my mod feeding more than 7V to the coil? Is it cos of poor coiling?

If you are using a VV/VW device, they have safetys installed that would prevent anything dangerous happening. You made a very high ohm build, many people subohm nowadays. High ohms has a slow ramp up time and a very cool vape. All your mod is saying is to do 35 watts at 1.5 ohms will take 7 volts. You will be fine.

Its basically poor coiling you could call it. Most people vape below 1 ohm nowadays. .15 is hot, .25 common, .5 high

1.55ohms, 7.69v at 35W

Why do you think something is wrong with 7V ?

watts = volts x volts / ohms

7.69 x 7.69 / 1.55 = 38.15 = approx. 35 watts.

Some mods can go up to 12 volts.

What matters are the wattage and the temperature.
