Question about the Kanger sub-ohm coils

[herb]

Everyone has different tastes. I'm still new at coils, but have successfully built a few for my kanger aerotank which I believe is the same atty as the protank. Unfortunately until I get some new Kanthal all my builds seem to only make it sub ohm, about .8 to .9. Not a lot of room in that chimney.

I actually would like it to be about 1.4. The downside to sub ohms is that just about all regulated devices can't handle it. I do run my sub ohm on my mod and it works fine. But my main reason for trying was 1. Cotton wick; and 2. To try and get a little lower resistance. But I want it to run on my MVP and below 1.2 the MVP gets weird. Too low and it doesn't work at all.

Anyway,to answer your question, I'd say it's all about preference. But again, I do wonder if it will catch on due to the fact that most regulated devices won't handle it.

I run 1.0 coils on my MVP with a Kayfun and never had an issue , haven't tried lower than that though.

A 0.8 won't fire on anything in my VV/VW collection - will it?

Maybe it's time to upgrade your VV collection? Hana boxes, OKR chips, Raptor chips. There are many which would more than gladly fire a .8 ohm build!

I'm waiting for both the aerotank mega and sub ohm coils in the mail so I will certainly add my 2 cents. Couldn't help myself and was very curious.

It is intended for and should work well with their Kanger Giant Aerotank

Exactly. I have a giant running 0.8 factory coils and it is the best flavor i have achieved with tanks...

I was able to try the giant Aero with the .8 coil heads, it was quite surprising. The vape was nice and thick with some good warmth and flavor was really nice as well. I recently got a nautilus mini to hold me over until I replace all my vape gear that was stolen and I'm also very impressed so far with the new bvcs.

If the kanger subohm coils last as long as the nautilus bvcs, then I would say they are a home run.

I've been getting down to close to 1.0 ohm with rebuild standard and (previously) dual coil-size Kanger heads wicked with cotton and running in various small-format clearomizers liike Smok RBCs, Smok Aros, a PT2 clone and a couple of MPT3s. When my VV batteries won't fire that low, I have a couple of KGO Mega 1300mAh unregulated batteries that fire at the full 4.7 and gradually power down. Yes, the chambers are tiny for that amount of heat, but I bore out the stock air hols on all these little tank bases until they run nicely and belt out the vapor. I have to let them coil after a few hits, but they produce a ton of tasty vapor for the size. I've also had to experiment with more or less cotton inside the chambers to find the right combo.

< 1.0 ohm should be fine with these too, as 4.2v won't pull more than 4A from these cheap batteries. I just haven't tried yet because the vapor production I am getting is great, and I don't feel like there's any point to heating up these little heads any more than I already am. Maybe it comes down to heat transfer. If you have a larger enough base with good heat transfer (heat sinking) carrying your coil head, then sub-ohming may still be a practical choice. The "giant" clearo tanks with AFC should be perfect for them.

Good heat transfer plus lots of air and good wicking should kick out some awesome vapor for these tiny devices.

Oh, and it will guzzle the juice and your battery run time like crazy. LOL.

For me the only reason to run these is the ability to use them on a mech with no boost! I run the .08 ohm on a magneto with in kick and it rocks! Just a battery and my aerotank! Can't beat that. I got an email this morning that rock bottom has them in stock for $11.

Ok, I just bought the Kanger SubOhm .8 coils for sizzles and giggles.

I tried it on my Panzer using my Aerotank. Works ok.

Obviously, I knew first hand that it wouldn't work on my Vamo v5. But did it anyway. It won't fire (duh) and it says 0.9 on the screen.

Tried it on an eGo (Smok Winder 1000mAh) and it fired, from 3.3V to 4.8V. But isn't this "not safe"?

 

[Midniteoyl]

Dont know about 'not safe' but it will kill that battery quicker.

 

[Subintro]

I've found a twisted coil with Japanese cotton with a bit of the cotton put back over the sides of the coil works wonders for sub-ohm

I'm wondering how safe it is also? Been thinking of getting a 30 watt device, but have a few Spinner 2's, Tesla Sidewinder 2 and Kanger Emow 1600mah that I've been thinking of trying some 1.2 ohm coils and maybe venture into .8. At .8 you're firing at something like 28-29 watts at 4.8 volts, which seems pretty extreme. I thought most of the ego style batteries were limited to 15ish watts or so and of course 2-3 amps (example above I think you'd be at like 6 amps, right?).

I do have a guy I buy some of my stuff from that has said he's fired .8 ohm coils on the Tesla for sure, with no issues.

I am running the 0.8 coils on an Aerotank Mega on a DNA30 clone / VTC4 battery. Amperage should be fine, the mod should be able to handle this fine.

My issue is two coils, both soaked for 15-30 minutes, both are burning instantly. I tried stiffening the draw, airing it out all the way, drawing without fire, etc. For one toot, it got hot as hell but not burnt, but this is troubling since it's only at 7 watts, which comes out to 2.5v. All subsequent vapes were instantly burning. My mod/battery can't even regulate at that voltage, yet still burning.

Liquid is a DIY menthol 75% PG, the Kanger 1.5ohm dual coils I normally use don't even need much priming, only maybe a minute. Any ideas guys?

Whatever you do, be careful sub-ohm'n.

kinda makes you wonder why the expensive mod can't go lower when you need it too, huh?

Well, I am well aware the DNA30 and clone variants can't regulate under 4V, that's not my concern. My concern is a 0.8ohm coil shouldn't be burning at 4V, right? Trying to determine if it's the coils or the mod here.

Nope it shouldn't.

Which clone is it?
I'm pretty sure I've seen comments that one of them shows the wrong voltage.
