New tank/coils for Kamry K1000

[Daniel_2017abc]

Hello everybody!

I recently bought a Kamry K1000 and would like to change the tank and coils to get a lower ohm in order to get a slightly better throat hit. Is there anyone here that could give me some recommendations on what tanks/coils i should go for? Im using 24 mg nicotine.

Oh, it's an e-pipe with a 510 tank (as far as I can tell).... (I do remember it, just)

Well, you can certainly put lower res' on that, but only so far as it takes 18350 batteries.

What rating are the original coils?

If it is a standard 510 fit, you might be able to use mini Nautilus or Protank type tanks.

Personally, I'd take a chance with an Eleaf GS tank and the 1.2ohm coils IF your 18350 battery is good enough. I have a bad feeling the battery that come with it won't be good enough though.

Try an AW or AWT 18350.

I think its a standard 510, on the batteries it says IMR 18350 900 mAh 3.7V. How do know what tanks i can use with my batteries?

Your battery (the 'mod') uses a 510 connector.
You need to get an idea of the width of the tank and then buy another tank which is about right. Nearly all modern tanks use the 510 connection, which is the slimline screw-in male-female (tank to battery/mod).

The next bit is more complicated to answer. Your battery (the IMR 18350 3.7v) is only capable of using a certain level of power. If you bought a Subtank with a low resistance coil (0.5ohm) you might/will find it will not work and be potentially dangerous. There is a LIMIT on the amps your battery can offer you.
That limit will be based on the amps capability of the battery.... and unless you have bought a battery that specifically states (and we can trust it) the amps, then it's just guessing.

Do you have the Kamry battery?

It is very important that you take notice of the fact that the Kamry K1000 is a mechanical mod. It has no safety features. This device requires a responsible user and you really need to know Ohms Law before you start using any mechanical mod.

If you are planning to get a device like this and you haven’t educated yourself regarding Ohms Law then you are putting yourself at risk. So read everything you can before buying one, stay safe.

Ok, is there any risk at testing a coil + tank with lets say 1,5 ohm?

I would say very little risk. Using a calculator, assuming your battery is fresh (charged to 4.2v) that would equate to just under 12 watts and 3 amps.
Would I do it? Yes... because we were running 1.5ohm coils years ago on basic batteries.
Will folk agree? Hard to say.

There is some kind of safety-chip in the botton, under the battery. Isnt that safe enough?

Well, not really if it says it a mechanical mod.

Anyway... I am stepping away from this thread since it seems a one way street. I have told you all I know (and invested time in researching for you) and wish you luck.
Vape on.

Ok, thx for the answers!

Is there anyone else here that have been using K1000 with lower ohm than the original ones?

The long chimney of the delivery device in combo with the long pipe stem / mouth piece = little to no throat hit.

Using lower resistance isn't going to magically create throat hit until you get lower than an 18350 can support safely.
Battery life will drop in step with lowering resistance.

The fuse the newer k1000 come with may or may not give some level of protection. Using a 10a fuse with a 5a battery isn't going to do any protecting.

You can try higher % PG to increase TH.

 

[Daniel_2017abc]

Ok :/ Ive seen some threads were people say that they have been using the batteriers with coils of 1.2-1.6 without any problem. The battery life isnt really a problem for me

I was thinking of getting the Viva Nova v3 with a 1.6 coil, isnt that going to make a difference regarding the throat hit? I think the original coils are 2.4 on the kamry.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Using 1.2 ~ 1.6 will pose no saftey problems. I doubt it will increase TH enough to notice.
The decrease in resistance will increase the voltage drop which will reduce the power available for the coil to produce vapor. Very little difference in vape quality between the differing resistances above ohm when using a low quality 18350 in a mech.

The long chimney and pipe stem = little to no TH.

 

[Daniel_2017abc]

ok.. i think im going to try the kamry along with Aspire Vivi Nova-S. The guy in the thread below seemed happy when he tried that. "I opted to purchase a Vivi Nova BDC tank with a 510 thread from Go-Liquid, much better throat hit and vape. I'm happy once again with my pipe"

Kamry K1000 Advice Please?
