iJoy Tornado Nano w/ Chip Coil

[skelley]

Thanks DP2Raja & cigatron.
I had a link saved on my desktop, but the power supply crapped out, so I'm using the lap for now.
My link even had the chuff cap accessory, but I wasn't having any luck with google today

$10 bucks for 5? Wow, that's one heck of a deal. The wife has been using her original for months.
Thanks again.

The 5 for $10 looks like a simple coil rather than the twisted original now that I look at it, but still, at that price I would consider them a nice disposable alternative for sure.

 

[DP2Raja]

oh STOP it!!!

I was commenting on Cig's LED statement

 

[DP2Raja]

Yeah, I'll pass on the single strand. This one has the twisted 5/$10.50

IJOY Tornado Nano Replacement Coil Chip Coil 5pcs- 0.3ohm

 

[cigatron]

Yeah guys, I can't comment on the performance of the .6 ohm single strand coils. Never tried them. I'm still using the first of two .3 ohm twisted coils supplied to me for beta testing the Nano.
The .6 ohm coils could be used as a disposable @skelley but they may work great too, who knows.

 

[DP2Raja]

I want to match what I'm getting out of the twisted one I have in it now. So I just ordered from the link I posted above. The flavor on these 0.3 twisted is just outstanding. And they should last quit well. Getting the stock wicks out was probably the most stress the coils will be under. Loving it Cig! Been vaping it all day.

 

[cigatron]

Right on, glad you're enjoying it! I owed you brother cuz I'm still enjoying my nets using your extraction process. Only thing I changed is to triple filter it for longer wick life.

Cig, glad you are enjoying the NETs!! I jumped from the American Spirit to quality cigars (Rocky Patel, Padron, etc). Each cigar extraction lasts about 5 months so extracting from a $12 or $15 cigar is well worth the flavorful extract I get. I am filtering them 6 times. It has improved the life of the wick, and the vape is fantastic.

On the factory chip coil, I did remove a little bit of the original wick.
The wife vapes 70/30 VG/PG, so it seemed to be packed a little tight.
I also dressed the coil up by squeezing it together with ceramic tweezers when I first rewicked it.
This chip coil is getting crazy life as it's been in use since it's first release.

I would try the single spaced coils if I had one as that is what I make on all my builds lately as I think they give better flavor, YMMV.

Decided this looked interesting and ordered one from Ecig. The deck looks nice, and these chip coils sound good. Ecig was out of stock on replacement chips, so I googled around and found Vaporworld has them (heard of them, never did business with them), and they have a chip coil version with an LED light in it, with a choice of red or green.

I guess it's in keeping with the LED they're using with the new Limitless XL coming out. Fortunately, you can get replacements without the LED too. Does the kit one come with a light? I haven't seen it mentioned before and guess it could be cool for maybe 5 minutes, but then I'd want it gone.

 

[DP2Raja]

No LED on my kit out of the box.
I might get some just for Christmas fun...but in general I would hate having a light glowing at the end of my nose. Not cool.

Thanks! Feel better again. I didn't want to get stuck with some cheesy gimmick. It would have turned me off before giving the tank a decent shot. It'll be interesting to compare this to my Crius Plus and Limitless+. I really like both, so I'm hoping this will hold up to it.

 

[DP2Raja]

This tank is capable of really great flavor and nice dense vapor. I have used the chip coil and it is really nice. I also use the rebuildable deck with 2 strands of twisted 316L SS. Great vape. Just now rebuilt and just vape'n away and loving it.

 

[Eskie]

To clarify, the chip coils are also SS wire, right? Not horrible if they're not, but it would add value, at least for me, as I do like TC.

 

[DP2Raja]

They are SS in the one I got in the kit. They also throw in 2 twisted SS coils to use in the rebuildable deck as well. The pair ohm out at 0.3, same as the chip coil does.

 

[cigatron]

My twisted wire .3ohm chip coils are kanthal or nichrome or Chinathal or Cinachrome or something. Tested them on my dna200 and Q class and saw no significant increase in res with temp rise.

I can live with that and just use SS on the RTA.

 

[DP2Raja]

Cig, I stand corrected. But I am pretty sure it is not kanthal. I use Kanthal all the time and these coils taste and look quite different. That's why I assumed they were SS. I also only vape in power mode so I did not try TC on these at all. I will be using SS in the RDA deck of the Nano. I use kanthal in my Merlin and Boreas. SS in my Mage as well.

 

[cigatron]

I thought they were SS looking at them too. They even ran in tc on my Q but then I noticed that only changing power affected vapor temp; changing tc temp did nothing. Not sure why the Q didn't jump out of tc. Maybe there is a small tcr value to the wire but too small for me to see as a res change. Shrugs.

Got it, started out with the 0.3 ohm chip coil, and what a nice vape! That's a handy coil design with the option of rewicking. The coil is also easy to prime. The RBA looks fine, and I'm sure I'll get around to building it out, but for the moment I'm enjoying this included coil. I also found these coils are either out of stock or just plain not available yet in the US, but FT has them for ~$8.70 for 5. Between a 5 pack of those and the RBA, this tank is good for a long time.
