High voltage/wattage - confused

[Two_Bears]

Greetings and welcome to the forum.

Depending on the rated resistance, the Nautilus coils are rated at: (1.6ohms 5v max, 1.8ohms 6vmax). I would not worry about TRYING to hit the maximum as you'll likely get burnt taste at anything over 3/4 the maximum rating.

Before I use a prebuilt atomizer/coil, I'll first check the airflow BEFORE I do anything by placing ether end in my mouth and blowing on it. Some factory coils can be a bit more clogged than others right out of the box.

Next I'll squirt juice down into the top until it is FILLED and leaking out the 510 connection end. Just set it on a paper towel for a 5-10min and inspect the 4 side holes, if they appear wet then your coil is primed and ready for installation - just put one end in your mouth and cover the other end with a paper towel and blow out the excess juice before installing.

While I have a handful of Nautilus tanks and used 50/50 to %100VG in them, I personally did not like using wattage mode with them and preferred using voltage mode. (given that the coils are rated in VOLTS and not watts) On the 1.8ohm coils I rarely could venture higher than 5V otherwise I'd be getting a burnt taste.

The atomizers/coils are fairly easy to rebuild. Instead of purchasing more prebuilts just to use my older tanks I rebuild them.

Volts are made of watts. In wattage mode you have fiber control that jumping in .1 or. 5 volt increments. A better example volts are the new radio on a chip where the frequency of the AM band jumps by 10. Wattage mode is the old transistor radio where you have the fine tuning wheel where you can narrowly tune in one station and tune out encroaching frequencies.

My Kayfun Nano is presently running a 1.2 Ohm coil at 12.5 watts, and the applied volts is 3.98.

Kfun nano? Is this the same as the mini?

My Kayfun is built this way.

Kayfun Lite Plus base
Normal Kayfun barrel
Kayfun Nano chimney
Bell cap over everything
1/2 inch tall drip tip.

The reason I call it a Nano is because of the Nano chimney, and the fact that it holds 3 ml of juice or less.

As mentioned above, higher ohm coils need way less power to operate. I run my 1.5 - 1.8 ohm coils from 7-9.5 watts or in your case 3.7-4 volts. My subohms are ran from 18 watts or higher BUT.... ranges from 3.7 to 4.2 volts. All depends on the build of your coils as to what wattage to run at. Volts tend to be the same with the exception of people pushing their mods to the higher end which the mod allows.

LOL...... to funny

As I mentioned in MY experience I'd rather control the VOLTAGE applied to my Aspire Nautilus coils rather than using wattage mode. Why?

• while some simple math can convert voltage, ohms and current in to watts the coils themselves are rated by voltage applied (makes life easier - no math involved)
• in wattage mode when/if the resistance of the coil or the entire loop changes resistance, the mod will adjust the applied voltage to keep a constant WATTAGE - with only wattage displayed (my two VV/VW mods only display ONE value at a time) I would not know what voltage the mod was using to achieve the displayed value
• one of my mods has only VV and NO display, hence using VV on all three devices was more consistent experience than using VW on some devices and VV on the other

I found that driving my Nautilus coils with VV mode more reliable and offered my own personal experience to the new user.

(BTW: I learned ohms law in the early 70's, 40yr licensed HAM radio operator)

Welcome @Eryger! Yes, you will find a wide range of vaping styles, and no, not all of them are for you or for me.....

Just because Person A vapes a 0.1ohm coil at a guh-zillion watts or Person B vapes a 3.0 ohm coil at 6 watts doesn't mean that either one or the other is wrong. It's just what that person LIKES.

Personally, with "standard" stuff (not temperature controlled), I like coils between about 0.7-1.8 ohms and anywhere from 9W-25W. Just because my equipment CAN go higher power doesn't mean that's what *I* like....

So "Vape it Your Way"
