"It ain't right, but it'll work!"
"Hey ya'll, hold my beer and watch this!"
"What could go wrong?"
"What? Me worry?"
"It might last six minuets or six months, but it's working now!"
"You want it right, or right now?"
"The hurrier you want it, the worser you'll get it!"
Yeah, I'll stop.
well if (2) 1 ohm coils makes a .5
(4) 1 ohm coils would make .25
(4) 3.2 ohm coils should make .8
(4) .2ohm coils should make .05 which indeed shall cook a roast. :O
correct me if im wrong coil experts. I could have this all ... backwards. Which is why i have approx 2 weeks to figure it out. I learn quick

4.2 V @ .8 ohms is only kicking back 5.25amps. unless each coil is kicking 5.25 amps,
this is what jiggles my brain a bit.
With 3.3volts being the lowest setting for the itaste. and a 3.5amp max
3.3v - .09 ohm = 3.6 amps....which still seemed to fire on my itaste ( Mistake of course...first time doing a micro coil with flat ribbon wire)
now being frisky francis i took it all the way up to 4volts...on camera incase my face blew across the street into the neighbors yard.
4v - .09ohm = 4.4amps. I dont recommend anyone doing this.
so exactly how "regulated" "safe" is my itaste. I have not a clue.

iTaste VV V3.0 User Manual - Best Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette Manufacturer| Innokin
I'm not sure about the electronics package in the iTaste, but from what I've seen in other devices (like some DC power supplies, for example) the circuitry will automatically clamp the output to keep it within its stated limits, regardless of where you have the device set.
Just guessing, it probably started at 4 volts for a millisecond or two, but once it saw the current go up to the max, it started lowering its output voltage to drop current below its stated max of 3.5 amps.
It would be interesting to do that on an oscilloscope to see what happens when you try something like that!
^ this is what I assumed as I didnt notice the coil heating faster, or any changes really
Very much agree to research before trying, But...
Just some clarification, voltage is the pressure/potential that pushes the current and this pressure and current together will flow to extraordinary/explosive levels if not resisted. In the case of sub-ohm resistance, it is very small...so current will rise and utilize as much voltage as is available.
Now heat is the result of current and voltage together (measured as power/watts) being dissipated with resistance. Its how all circuits with loads work.
The way PV's manage this dissipation of heat is to regulate the circuit parameters (voltage, power) leaving ohms/resistance/coils as the variable
When modders apply high current batteries and use low/sub ohm coils they drive the power applied to very high levels and the heat dissipation will be applied either in a safe/controlled way (heavy duty equipment) or in an unsafe way (explosions/arcing short circuits)
I'm just saying.....be careful

So......has anyone actually received the King clone yet? I'd like to see a review if possible.
I've been wanting to purchase the king clone too.
To OP, I suggest reading up more about batteries, ohm's law, etc. before going into dual or above setups. It's not something you just jump into and expect to learn along the way. Better safe than sorry!

People say the same thing about RDA/RBA ....Theres 3 things to understand ...volts/ohms/amps..not too difficult when ur dealing with the same constant - 3.7v batteries, or 4.2 full charged.
Figuring out amps is 2nd grade division. Get batteries from reputable vendors (RTD)
The shipping speed of fasttech is more than enough time to gather the knowledge needed. Hell american shipping speed would have been enough.
My only confusion is if dual coils double the amperage or not *even when doubling amperage I will still be well within my batteries limits.
^ (2) 2 ohm coils = 1 ohm dual coil. A single 2 ohm coil at 4.2v full charge is 2.1 amps..double that, you get 4.2.
18650 2000mah IMR 10a cdr ( RTD ) should be plenty safe even if amperage is doubled.
anyways just confused not having the device on hand if i need flat top or nipple top batteries >.<
Looking forward to it. Did you order the brass or the stainless? I am torn between the 2. Have to have the Lion on it though, don't care for the Statue of Liberty one.
Well, just ordered the brass King clone from Fast Tech. The tracking/stalking process starts. Again
I still haven't tried my hand at rebuilding because I suck at stuff like that and have a tendency to break things. However, I am determined to do it because there is just so much cool stuff out there in my new "lifestyle". Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.
My brass version of this mod from fasttech should be here any day now...left san fran yesterday morning...i build coils and use an igo-w with a mortalizer style top cap from capitallvapes which is so cool...i have aw imr 18650s and mnke imr 18650s and i def like the mnke batteries more for sub ohms and esp for quad coils...
Also efest just came out with a 30amp battery that is supposedly better than mnke's 20amp and those samsungs as well...i am looking into those and a couple AW 18350s bc i got a nemesis clone comin and wanna have it in stealth mode sometimes on the go with a genesis
Havoc, If I had a better camera I would have a rebuild tutorial, but I use my webcam and its .......supposed to be "HD" Stupid vaio...
BUT, what I can tell you is micro coils with cotton wick is easier then youd ever imagine. I use a blunt needle tip from wizard labs and make 5 wraps with 32 guage kanthal...get 1.8ohm micro coil everytime.
*edit - I need some tweasers and a nice torch though...to really tighten the coils up...i have a butane torch lighter that sucks...and i use needle nose pliers..
dark passenger - I have 2 of the 30a efest coming in the mail should arrive same time as my king, as my king also left san fran yesterday morning. 30a efest are hard to find but 101vapes had them on sale in stock ...
