How do Vape Pens work?

[Kody Kuhns]

I want to try a Vape Pen, but I dont understand how they work with different coils. I was looking at the smok V8 Stick Pen 3000mAh, 3.4V-4.2V. So I understand when the battery is full it vapes at a higher Voltage, and as the battery dies the Voltage gets lower. But how does it work with coils rated different Ohm's?

If I use a 0.6ohm coil rated 30-40w, what wattage does the Vape Pen use? Does it automatically go to the correct wattage? does it know the correct wattage for each kind coil?

What if I put in a 0.2ohm coil rated 60-70w? At max voltage (4.2V) with a 0.2ohm coil that equals 88 Watts Max on the Pen, Is that to high for a Vape Pen?, is their a limit??

Like the Uwell coil 0.3ohm is rated 60w+, but the iLeaf 0.3ohm coil is rated 35w+...... does the Vape Pen use the same wattage for both coils? (since their the same ohms) Or does the Vape Pen know that the Uwell coil requires a higher Wattage????

The Smok Vape Pen max 4.2v with a 0.8ohm coil = Max 22 watts. But the Uwell Crown II 0.8ohm coil is rated 35-45w. So I cant vape a 0.8ohm coil above 22W with a Pen????

You can pretty much put any coil on that down to .1 ohm, you don't really have to worry about the coils wattage rating. It's an unregulated device, so it'll just put out whatever voltage the battery has in it at any given time.

The pen is rated 3.4v - 4.2v. That means if I have a 0.8ohm coil the MAX wattage i can get out of 4.2v is 22W. I cant vape a 0.8ohm coil at 22Watts!!!!!!

(And thats with a full battery, the second that Vape Pen battery starts to die, I will be vaping at 10-15Watts)

Any Coil under 0.5ohm will have 35w+ with a 4.2v Vape Pen. But anything over 0.5ohm will have TOO LOW of a WATTAGE to use those coils with a Vape Pen.

So I cant vape on any coil above 0.5ohm's with a Vape Pen right?????

I'm not sure the technical aspect of the Stick V8. I wanted another Big Baby tank, so picked up the V8 at not much more cost then what the tank would cost. I am quite happy with the vape it puts out and have no intention of putting a different topper on it. I have run it with the M2 coils for up to about 3 hours with no noticeable drop off in the vape. But I have not run the battery down until it shut off. So I am keeping that as a dedicated set-up for shorter trips out and run my other tanks/RTA's on adjustable watt mods.

You can use any coil from .1 to 2.5 ohm. I wouldn't worry too much about all the wattage stuff. The limit is the amps, and that is 20a continuous draw. If you a worried about the voltage dropping off you might be better off getting a regulated device.

Don't worry too much about the range written on a coil doesn't mean much. I have vaped a 0.8 coil at 17 watts just fine
