Is It Safe?

[Will S21]

im kinda new to vaping but never got to the knowledge behind it. I currently have a mega volt 80w from COV that fires as low as .2 ohms. Now i was given a tank that reads .16 ohms, is it safe to use this tank?

On a regulated device, 0.16ohms is not unheard of, actually quite safe, the mod control board will determine if a coil is safe within its programmed parameters, most this is a resistance range of 0.10ohms up to 3.0ohms. If your mod as stated specifications it is 0.20ohms lowest, the control board will kick a "Short", or "Check Atomizer" error and refuse to fire at all. The main reason Ohms are used on a regulated mod is to read that resistance, then adjust the voltage to what the user set watts are, after that it does a safety check each time it is fired, after that Ohms play no difference. The biggest safety factor with any mod is the amount of amps you ask of a battery, most mods that show amp readings, this is the reading of amps from the control board to the coil just like a mechanical (Amps=Voltage/Ohms), and a regulated mod the amps are based off the watts set, this is the amps from the battery to control board (Amps=Watts Set/Lowest Voltage/90%).

Back on topic though, will the mod fire the tank, if it has a resistance range of 0.10ohm and up, then yes, if as you state it is 0.2ohm, may be a hit or miss, the mod may read the coil higher, other than that then no, you'll need at least a 0.2ohm coil or above with that mod.

Yea, probably, but more important, read up on battery safety and ohm's law. Learn as much as you can. Knowledge is power, it never hurts to have too much, but not enough has hurt plenty

Yes, I found that some of the posts and blogs on battery safety to be compelling, easy to understand, (and I am math illiterate) and very helpful as to battery safety. I'm happy to have the REVERSE problem, where my 2 battery mod is using a tank with 1.8 coils at 13.8 watts. I'd rather have batteries that last a few days than trying to stress my rig to the max. You should also read up on storage, safe batteries, safe charging, and whatnot. That really helped me to start, ah, respecting my batteries. Good luck and happy reading1

As IMFire said it is safe because your mod will keep it that way by not firing if the resistance on the coil is outside its range. Hopefully you can get higher ohm coils for the tank.
