Need help for an order please

[keepsmiling]

I am ordering some coils online and did not realize until now there are different "OHM" selections?
2.5 ohm
2.2 ohm
1.8 ohm
I use two kanger pro tank II on vision spinner batteries. What is the difference and which ones should I get?
I have been buying them locally and I think they are just generic.
TIA

For my Innokin SVD I like 2.5ohms for my PT2s. I like the cooler vapor. Lower ohms will make for a hotter coil and more vapor, maybe more flavor. I've found the 2.5 to provide plenty of flavor, but that's subjective.

If I'm wrong about this, anyone with more knowledge and experience feel free to correct me.

Hope this helps a bit.

I believe the kanger pro tank II comes with a 2.5 ohm coil.

Since you're using a Spinner, it's not a critical choice. You can dial the volts to get a tasty vape.

I like to keep my coils around the 2.2 to 2.4 Ω value, as it gives more room for adjustment. Different flavors may taste better at different power levels. With 1.8, and some flavors, you may not be able to go low enough on volts with the 1.8 to avoid burning the juice.

While Wrath is correct, that's mostly only an issue with fixed voltage sources. Unless your VV/VW can't go low enough (Many of the latest high power mods don't...)

Hi Keepsmiling, when i purchased my PT2 it came with a couple coils with different ohm settings, Perfect opportunity to try each one to find which i liked the best, i settled on 1.8.

For my PT2 and PT2 mini I use the 2.2 - 2.5 ohm coils

Learn how to rebuild your coils, get a better vape and only spend less than $0.10 per coil

But if that isn't an option, I'd say get a pack of each and see which you like best.

 

[DetraMental]

I agree with those who like theirs around the 2.2-2.5 area.

If you're interested, rebuilding your coils is more satisfying and provides a better vapeing experience. Plus, you can wrap them to whatever resistance you like. I understand that this isn't for everyone though.

I have been interested to learn this. How or where can I learn ?
Thanks for all the replies.

Why not look at ohms that are printed on your current coils and order those. If you are looking experiment then follow the advice above. Enjoy your choice

Get some 30 gage kanthal wire on eBay from temco. It costs about 5.00 for 100 feet. You will use about 3" per coil. Also get some cotton balls from cvs. You will have enough supplies for about 20 years of vaping by making these 2 purchases.

You can start here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ave-organic-cotton-yarn-30-gauge-kanthal.html

And google up some utubes with something like "rebuild kanger coil" for some more vids.

It's really a lot easier than you might think, but you really do need some means to check the resistance before firing any newly made coil. An inexpensive DMM would work, and most higher end mods (and some "lower", i.e. MVP2, Innokin VV3, etc) have ohm check built in. Should your new coil be shorted, or even too low a resistance, you'll be testing your battery's overcurrent protection. Three inches in front of your nose...

Learning to rebuild coils is the best thing a vaper can do. It saves so much money and it's really very easy once you get the hang of what you're doing. One coil will last for MONTHS, and all you need to do is rinse and swap out the cotton once or twice a week when it gets gunked up.

Better yet, use the money you'd spend on expensive replacement coils to get a genuine (or clone) RBA/RDA and the vape quality and ease of rebuilding are magnified immensely!

A lot of people think the resistance (ohms) doesn't matter with variable devices. It does. While it's true that you can achieve the same wattage, the current will be different. With higher current the coil will heat up faster, and drain your battery faster

Here's an example:
A 2.5 ohm coil set at 4.5 volts will give you 8 watts and draw 1.8 A current.

A 1.5 ohm coil set at 3.5 volts will also give you 8 watts, but draw 2.3 A current.

Think of it like a water hose. A thick hose will have less resistance and let more water flow than a thinner hose.

No disagreement, brawas, but I find the actual impact on vape time between charges to be very slight. And you DO have a backup on you, right

And there may be legitimate taste preferences for the slight change in the vape with the same juice. Speed of heating changes the vape.

As does the coil geometry, one of the reasons those of us who rebuild get more consistent results (and generally better ) than factory coils.

Since we're all different, the only way to find out is just to try them all

True. That's part of the fun. I've tried so many different resistances, tanks, drippers etc. For me I like the fast heat and I've found since I got into rebuilding, I like my Kayfun setup between 0.7 - 0.9 ohms. I like the quick instant heat. Because of that, I'm now using my nemesis mechanical more than my provari. In fact, I ordered a DNA 30 mod and will be selling my provaris soon. If you don't want to get into building and want a similar vape, the closest I found you can get is with an aerotank and the new 0.8 ohm coils. And of course, I always have spare batteries.

If you don't yet know what you like and you have a wide range to choose from shoot for the middle. That way if you have a regulated device you can go either up or down and experiment to your liking.

 

[keepsmiling]

Thank you all!

No more pro-tanks for me...they taste yucky!
