Ohm ?

[spitzer26]

So i got the turbo rda v1 and i have the evic vtc mini with a battery of awt imr 3000mah, 3.7v, 40a. and i'm starting to build a coil .. Whant ohm should i build to keep it safe ? and what kind of coil build. because right now i only have nichrome wire.

Please help thanks

With that battery, I'd stay at .5 ohms or above. If you are new to coil building-- you sound like it-- I need more info to help you with a build. What guage is your NiCr wire? What are you using for a mandrel, and what diameter? How do you intend to wick it? You know about steam-engine.org, right? And the ohms law calculator?

to be safe? 2 ohm.

but what ohms you build depends on the wire thickness.

use steam engine coil calculator

Say it with me now, kids: "OHMS DONT MATTER ON A WATTAGE-REGULATED device!" It will either fire the coil, or it won't, depending on its capabilities (the eVic mini fires down to .1 in power/wattage mode), but the amp draw (and hence the safety issue) depends solely on the watts setting and remaining battery charge (a regulated device will draw more amps from a weak battery, contradictory to a mechanical mod where it pulls the highest amps on a full charge).

Amp draw will be [amps] = [wattage setting] / [battery voltage]. Note that the atomizer ohms don't even factor in to the equation. That's because they don't matter. If the battery can safely push 50 watts, for example, then it doesn't care if it's pushing them through two ohms, or two-tenths of an ohm; the amp draw will be the same (~10.6 amps on a fresh battery, ~15.6 on a weak one) either way.
