Iatty 6V / 1.5ohm???

[wigglr]

Has anybody tried a set-up like this? I'm a TH chaser.... I feel like this may do the trick

haven't tried this, but I'd be a bit concerned about the amps required to do so. I would only try it with the LifePOs as they're the only 3/3.2v that can handle those types of amps consistently (from my experience).

Personally, I run a 3.7v @ 1.1 ohms on my iatty and it's got knee buckling TH.

That's all I needed to know thedude
I'm just chasing that TH

Hi, What wick are you using for this setup? Thanks.

If you want to try this wig I suggest you first vape this resistance at 3,7 volts for 1/2 day first. After 1/2 day the wick will be saturated very well so you can do this setup easy without a burn taste

Thanks, Imeo. That's a good idea

Ermm don't wan't to be a killjoy here but please be careful with your choice of battery if your trying this setup

1.5ohm at 6v is pulling 4 amps from a battery, i would recommend an IMR high drain 18650, plenty of amp headroom using an 18650 , LiFePo batteries are safer chemistry and the claim is they will not vent with flame, same applies to the IMR, but 4amps from a LiFePo....your going to put enormous stress on the battery and reduce it's lifespan considerably

I agree, I may try it with my AW lifepo4's, but I thought thedudeabides suggestion for a lower ohm such as 1.1 @ 3.7V is a pretty good idea too.

 

[womblebat]

Yip i would certainly recommend going slightly lower on the ohm's with a single cell battery, stacked batteries at that amp draw will make them more unstable and remember with stacking batteries that one battery discharges at a faster rate than the other, so eventually as well as having to handle the amperage draw the discharged battery also draws power from the fresher battery, no likey

Just to mention as well that a 3.7v battery normally comes off the charger at 4.2v, so a 1.1ohm coil on a freshly charged battery is still around 3.8amps, i would go with a high drain IMR, better safe than sorry

Thanks so much wombat -- you seem to know your stuff (and I know very little so I am grateful for you and individuals like you)

I try to only buy AW IMR -- was left without that option when going 6V so I just have the AW lifepo4
I do have AW IMR 18650s though

If you know anything about AVS's could you please check out my AVS thread! I'm having a lot of trouble!

 

[womblebat]

Very welcome wigglr, AW IMR 18650's are the best battery around IMO, excellent "C" rating (ability to handle a constant high amperage draw)

AVS i had a long time ago, i remember the best results i had were with carto's (with a hole punched in the side) but there are some very knowledgable people on here who have the AVS down to a fine art, i'm sure they will be along with better advice on this than i could give, hope you get it vaping great soon

 

[wigglr]

Thanks! I hope so too!

Hi, What wick are you using for this setup? Thanks.

I use the nextel 116 wick, kanthal wire and fine silver wire in my iatty.
