Question about ohms and coils?

[1800ninjafrog]

Hey guys, so I bought 26 gauge .65 ohm Clapton coils for my nebox vape. I have the green 18650 battery in it. My vape says the ohms are .56. So first off, what does this mean lol? And also is this a safe combination for me to use? I don't want it to randomly explode.

Which green 18650 battery? LG, Sony and Samsung all make green 18650 batteries.

The "resistance" of your coil is 0.56 ohms. Ohms is a measured value of the amount of current the wire will use. It's sort of like the "watts" on a lightbulb and how much light it will produce, but that's probably a poor anology.

In our ecigs resistance is in our coils. If you increase the resistance (increase the ohms) of the coil then less electricity is allowed to flow through the coil. The lower the electrical flow through the coil the cooler your vape will be. On the inverse if we increase the electrical flow by using a lower resistance coil (lower ohms), we will see a higher electrical flow that will result in warmer temperatures.

At that resistance, and assuming that you're using either LG, Sony or Samsung INR batteries, you're good to go. That's a safe combination.

I'm using the VTC5, and thanks for the response! I appreciate it.

You should be OK with those coils in the Nebox on that battery. That's a good battery. The Nebox doesn't go over 60 watts, so the battery should handle anything you throw at it.
