I rebuilt my Protank II coil to 1.3 ohms using organic cotton. I threw is on my DNA30 box mod, and I was just wondering what is the highest wattage I should use with this tank. I don't know if there are any safety concerns with the heat being produced inside the tank. I've been vaping at around 14-16 watts. Can I crank it up to 25-30 watts?

Thanks for this link. They also have 50 insulators for $7.99 ($10.00 w/shipping). This is the best price I have ever seen on these!:)



I've been searching as I feel some are charging up the wazoo for relatively cheap items :) another link for kanthal Kanthal A1

It's more the gauge of the wire that matters for high power on a single coil like that;
thicker gauge wire takes more power; thicker gauge wire has lower resistance, so you end up with lower ohm coils when you use thicker wire.

If you try to run 30 watts through 30 gauge at 1 ohm you'll just fry the coil.
