Lowest ohm coil for Kanger Protank 2?

[leleegrrl]

I have been using 1.0 on my Kanger Protank 3 with lowest voltage on my Tesla Spider VV battery. I was told that 1.8 was risky on VV batts b/c they can burn up more easily than 1.0.

That being said, I have dug up my Protank 2 and some old (but unopened) 1.8 coils I had for it. Both 1.8 coils I have tried have burnt within a few puffs. I want to order lower ohm coils for it, but the lowest I can find is 1.5. That seems too close to 1.8. Do they make a lower ohm coil for this tank? Is it normal for the 1.8 to burn up like that at the lowest voltage (3-point-something)? Or could it be the age of the coils? I got them about 2 years ago, but they were still new in sealed packaging.

I don't own a tesla, but it seems like a normal vv mod and if it is and does (like all) set to 3.7volts then there should be no reason why those 1.8 coils shouldn't work. A mod is a mod and a voltage setting is a voltage settting, so no matter if you have a 200 watt mod or a 40 watt mod, it's the same if you can set the voltage. At 3.7 volts and a 1.8 coil your only pushing 7 or 8 watts, so you should be good and actually you should be able to get more then 3.7v into that 1.8 coil. I would say either it's the coils or maybe the mod somehow is pushing much more power into that coil then it's saying. Sometimes if you have a wonky connection or a 510 pin issue, I have seen a mod kind of short , thus shooting bursts of increased power into the coil burning it out really fast. I had a mod once that did that if the tanks pin was too far out. Your definitely in vv mode and not perhaps wattage or temp?

Are you doing mtl or dl? I was thinking perhaps it's not the resistance of the coil but the air flow or juice flow . Maybe the 1 ohm has more JF then the 1.8 and if your doing DL hits, you might be burning out the coil because it's not keeping up with the wicking.

Something doesn't sound right I'm running a protank 3 coil (different tank) at 1.7 ohms at 4.0 volts on my provari 2.5 mini with no problems

Hi! This makes sense; but I don't know what wattage and temp modes are. Looking it up... but good to know that the coils should not be behaving this way under normal circumstances. Thank you!

I think I do about 2/3 DL and 1/3 MTL. I'm kind of all over the place. But if you're right, the DL could definitely be the problem. I also take frequent hits at times... but I never had a problem with that on a protank before.

I checked and I don't think this batt has a wattage or temp mode... just VV, unless there is something I'm missing.
