How many ohms should i buy?

[dbirdb]

Start with 1.2 up to maybe 1.8. See which produces more of what you want, i.e. flavor, vapor(or you might find the sweet spot right away). You can always go lower or higher. Going lower gets you more vapor but you may lose flavor. Which can also be effected by wattage. Going higher produces less vapor but maybe more flavor. Point is: it's gonna take some experimentation. Personally, I'd start with a 1.2 then go down until I get the vapor I want while still having flavor, but I like clouds.

I buy my ohms in 5kg bundles. They should be kept refrigerated for maximum freshness.

I like to fry my ohms. Ohm on the range?

Or put wheels on them? Mobile Ohm?

Add Stevia to them? Ohm sweet ohm?

Using the stove? Didn't your parents tell you not to use the appliances when you're left ohm alone?

What about the correlation with flavor/clouds?

My advice is stay clear of pre-made coils (and/or builds). Purchase various gauges of Kanthal A1 (gauges anywhere from 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 - size matters only as to how big the post holes are in the deck of the rda and on how low a sub-ohm you want to vape at). Considering you sound like a newbie to building, stick with either the 26 to 30 gauge, in most newbies builds, 28 would be a good middle ground to start with. 28 gauge, if you vape at 1.0 or higher you will not burn through juice as fast...the farther you go down in sub ohming, the more juice you will burn or heat off the cotton. Sub ohming will make the coil heat hotter which in turn vaporizes the juice much faster. So if you want to build at 28 gauge and get a good vapor production, build a single build at 0.8 sub ohm, 28 gauge, kanthal A1, 3.0 mm inner diameter coil, 3 full wraps and you should be good to go. in my own humble opinion, you should go with the 26 gauge with the same specifications as above-stated but with 6 full wraps, get a good e juice at 30pg/70vg (blend is your choice), wick it with Samurai or Muji cotton, purchase a RDA like the Doge V2 or X you can purchase the eleaf istick 50 watt and all for under $100, you will vape like a beast. Hope this helps

Now I cant tell if the trolls are trolling the trolls...

I am no troll...I consider myself an advanced vapor. So tell us Signmaker, what's your definitive answer to his question regarding pre-made coil builds and/or any suggestions?

 

[Edward Aiz]

Net resistance doesnt matter much with a VW device, unless you are planning to go very low in wattage. Since you jumped off with a 100w device, I'll go on a limb and guess you're not planning on vaping at 5 watts. So in the end, any resistance coil will do just fine as long as it's within the specs of the mod. Somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0 ohms is fine.

The member wanted "good vapor production"...1.0 and 2.0 ohm is fine, I agree...but good vapor production? 0.8 if his device can handle it should give him/her plenty "good vapor production"...I would think more so than 2.0. I do agree 1.0 would be a good place too. But 2.0, yikes!

 

[Spencer87]

I think you should definitely buy all the ohms. You can never have enough ohms. BUY ALL THE OHMS.

In all seriousness though. Depends on your device... and what power. Higher ohms, lower the wattage for the same Voltage..

If your just with a simple style ego or something thats not VV/VW, then maybe 1 ohm would be a good starting point.

I'm not sure if you're clear on what a variable wattage device is, what it does, or how Ohms Law functions...

Put a 0.8ohm coil and set the mod to fifty watts, and it gives fifty watts. Put a 2 ohm coil on... its still gonna give you 50 watts. There is no magical mojo juice that makes the mod put out more power. You have a max resistance for the top end, which is controlled by the mods max voltage. You have a minimum resistance at the bottom end, dictated either by the max amperage or minimum voltage. Between those two, ohms mean diddly.

With pre built clearo coils like op wants, it means less than diddly. It is quantifiabley sub-diddly, which is a value closely approximating absolute-diddly-zero.

If you put a 0.2 ohm coil and set it at 60 watts...its going to shoot out around 4 volts
If you then take a 0.5 coil at 60 watts... its going to shoot out 5.5 Volts.
Ohms means a heck of a lot when you are dealing with VW. Try to vape a 1 ohm at 100 watts...not gunna be good times for ya

same with premade....The same principles apply...

Seriously, this has to be some forum meme I missed and you guys are screwing with me. Do you really not know what watts are? I'm taking the bait, and assuming you don't know what the word means, and just use it because you read it somewhere.

Edit: Plugged some numbers into Steam Engine for 100w...not crafty enough to port them here directly, but...
26ga, 3.5mm, 12 wrap, set up as a parallel dual coil, gives 1ohm net resistance, and 221mw/mm2...
22ga, 3mm, 16 wrap, set up as a single, gives 1ohm net res, and 220mw/mm2...
So, 1 ohm at 100 watts can be a perfectly fine vape.

28ga, 3.5mm, 8 wrap, set up parallel dual, 1ohm...but 444mw/mm2 is gonna be a nasty hot vape
28ga, 3mm, 4 wrap, single coil, 1 ohm...1775mw/mm2...aka "Surface of Midnight"
24ga, 4mm, 17 wrap, dual coil, 1 ohm....110mw/mm2...ice cold
And, 1 ohm at 100 watts can be a lousy vape.

The point being, the resistance is not directly connected to the vape performance on a vw mod. Wire size, coil diameter, and surface area of the coil are what matter. Since your desired mw/mm2 value is dependant on the airflow, it's more important to build to the atomizer, not to the mod.

Savvy?.

down here in the south ohms are in rare supply... must be alot of people up north hording ohms....

 

[tj99959]

All depends on if you're buying those ohms by the bucket or by the box.

By itself ohms means nothing because it's only one part of a 3 part equation.
Kinda like having all the plumbing done in a house, but they forgot to connect the water supply.

So to answer your question ....... it depends
