KangerTech T3S Coil and Ohm question

[Way2Gone]

I called my local vape store in town looking for some new coils for my kangertech t3s tank. He said they have universal coils and I can get a 5 pack for 10 bucks. The ones I have in now are 2.2 ohms. Would it benefit to maybe drop to a 1.8 ohm? What is the difference you are making by selecting what ohm you are running? Flavor? Taste? Strength? Your opinions!

Hmm. Also, if it helps, I am running a "Generic" (OffBrand) Innokin ITaste VV V3 battery. Same attributes as the "namebrand" innokin from what I have read. It is variable volt and variable watts and i run it at around 4 to 4.7 volts or about 7-10 watts depending on how i feel. I am giving you this information so you might be able to give me the best idea on some new coils.

And if you know anything about this tank or can relate to any of this, let me know!

Since you're running a VV/VW device, you can adjust the settings to the different resistance coils. With the lower value on the new ones, you'd probably want to lower your VV3 settings to compensate, and get the same vape.

5 for $10 is pretty reasonable for a B&M, btw. I'd not recommend lower than the 1.8 they have, or higher than maybe around 2.8. (Actually, keeping more to the middle, i.e. 2.2 - 2.4 gives you more room to adjust to taste, but 1.8 just means you'll be running at the lower end settings.)

And the T3S is a fine clearo. Have several for use on my ego styles (Spinners, VV3, etc), although I tend to use larger ones (ProTank, Davide, etc) on my tube mods. Reliable, easy to maintain.

What do you mean by adjusting to the different resistance coils? Sorry I am new

I guess you mean, if I was to go with a 1.8 coil, I could lower my settings and it would taste the same?

What does "B&M" mean? For flavor purposes, would you recommend I make it the same like a 2.2 ohm coil, or maybe even bump it up to a 2.4? If I bumped it up or if I droped in coil numbers, does this make my juice stronger or weaker? Meaning like is the nicotine and the contents of the liquid distributed differently with teh size of coils you have?

B&M = your local vape store (Brick & Mortar)

Brick & Mortar, i.e. a real physical store you can go into, vs. online.

Without delving into the world of Ohm's law, basically what we do as vapers is boil the liquid. It takes a certain amount of power (watts) to boil it. Different flavors react differently to how much power is used, and that's a subjective / taste issue.

As long as you're boiling the liquid, you'll get vapor. and it won't affect the amount of nicotine. More vapor generally does mean more flavor, and more nic per draw, since there's more vapor. But no change in the distribution of the juice components.

If you put too much power to the coil, you risk burning the juice, or dry hits, as you're boiling it off the wick faster than the wick can pull in fresh juice.

I lean toward the 2.4 range, for reasons mentioned above. But 1.8 is fine, and you do want some spares! You'll just have to adjust your battery down to have the same vape. That's why they came up with VV, and then VW, so we don't have to be so picky on coil resistance.

Just scrolled back up and saw this

Hey, don't worry, we were ALL new at one time!

You adjust the voltage to control the power, and due to Ohm's law, with a lower resistance coil you use less voltage to get X watts on a lower resistance coil. You can run your VV3 voltage down or up as needed. But with VW, you just adjust the watts directly, and the battery takes care of any voltage adjustments for you.

So maybe just put your VV3 in watts / power mode, set it at 7 or 7.5 watts, and vape. Like the vape? You're set. Don't? Adjust up or down by 1/2 watt and vape. Like? Done. Don't? Take it another step. Repeat until smiling

Once you have the watts set for the juice you use, 'cause different juices may taste better at different watts, you don't have to worry about the coil resistance. The VV3 will deliver the set watts to any coil (within operating range), and you don't have to adjust anything.

Well I just got back from "VaporBank" my local vape store. I picked up the same coils, (2.2 ohm) coils. I was goin to go 2.5 (2.5 was the closest they had to 2.4) but I might wait and try that next time.

I have been running in Variable Watts mode because for some reason I feel like it hits better, it could just be because the settings are different.. meaning like the volts on this itaste goes up by .1 increments, while in watts mode you go by .5 increments, making volts a little harder to set for my liking, and like I said, it just don't seem like it hits as hard or the same. I love watts mode though, for some reason it hits stronger (seemingly), it could just be anything really. But yeah..
