IPV D2 with Triton .4 ohm coils

[MrThortan]

Hello. I have been lurking for a while and this forum has been really useful.

I am using a IPV D2 with a Triton 2 tank and just purchased some .4 ohm coils from Mt Baker Vapor (They have treated me very well). Their site lists them as kanthal, and I talked to customer support and they verified that. Everywhere else list the same coils as stainless steel though, have the same black o-ring and I haven't been able to find .4 kanthal anywhere else. From my understanding, the IPV D2 doesn't support stainless steel. I have been using my IPV D2 in Joules mode to get step down to work with my higher ohm kanthal coils. I am new to sub-ohm vaping, so am taking safety seriously.

Would the Triton .4 ohm coils from MBV work safely in my IPV D2, and with the joules mode workaround? (I can't link the coils as I am new)

I am not familiar with the IPV D2 or the workaround. But according to Aspires website the 0.4Ω coils are stainless steel.

Since stainless steel can be run in wattage or temperature control mode MAYBE the workaround would work.

To the best of my recollection the biggest selling point of the Tritons were the SS coils way back when.
Set your d2 in ni mode at a low temp and start working it up.
I'll bet it doesn't kick you outta tc mode. If it kicks you out the coil is not SS {or ni or ti}. Black oring is for ss. Cheers.

Thanks for the info folks. I think I am going to just play it safe and pick up some different coils. Nice thing about the Triton 2 is a lot of other coils fit it. I have been wanting to try the cCells and they are in the wattage range I like to vape.

Your coils are fine MrThorton.
If you are setting joules, the device is in tc mode and you will also be setting a temperature. SS coils are my preferred coil as they work safely in either mode, wattage or/ TC. I do prefer the ss in power mode on my d2 fwiw.
but that's just me.

The Only real concern is mistakenly running ni or ti coils in power/wattage mode. Other than that there really is no concern.imho.
