Question about the Kanger sub-ohm coils

[pokemom]

Hi all,

I do not sub-ohm, nor do I have the knowledge or where with all to gain the knowledge to do so safely. That said, I am curious about why Kanger is now producing sub-ohm coils, what the benefit of using those over a 1.8 ohm coil would be. Really, is it just a marketing strategy?

Really?
More info please.

Well their is plenty of knowledge to gain around the forum as far as battery safety and safety of sub ohm vaping. Their will be advantages of their sub ohm coils though, you will definitely have increased vapor production and flavor increase. I have not used them myself but as long as you have the airflow for them and the insulators hold up I could see them turning out pretty decent for a pre made coil.

The part that I do not understand is the chamber on the Kanger coils IMO wouldn't support the airflow needed to produce enough vapor. I feel that it would just get extremely warm.

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'm thinking a new tank to go with them. also, it might open up low volt vaping. a small mod with 1 or2 eneloop aas.

Call me cynical, but Kanger do not have the hardware to sell sub-ohm coils for.

A sub ohm on an Aerotank? People get enough problems vaping at standard power.

 

[BeRight]

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

UPDATE!

Someone has done a review on a 0.8ohm coil on an Aerotank.

Apparently, it does work. Well, I don't know what to say. I'm going to send a PM and find out exactly how long it lasts him.

Just 'cause you are going sub-ohm doesnt mean you have to vape at insane wattage.. If you have a regulated mod and it can fire below 1ohm, then the .8ohm dual coils would net you a faster 'time to heat' and lower voltage to do so. This results in lower 'button push to draw' time, more flavor, and less chance of burning.

Kanger is not producing sub ohm coils.

Maybe you got defective coils. They just happend to be shorting on the housing.

Oh; dual coils; 2 1.8 ohm coils work out to 0.9 ohms

So, the one "rated" at 0.8 is plausible then

I'm still not trusting the review though. 1-2 days isn't enough to convince me.

Yup that would be 2 1.6 ohm coils. Quite doable.

This is true. However, I think the likelihood is that mechanical mod users will stick them in Aerotanks and vape at quite high watts.
A 0.8 won't fire on anything in my VV/VW collection - will it?

Yes they do... I posted about it yesterday.. http://www.vaporbeast.com/kanger-pr...-mini-protank-3-replacement-heads-5-pack.html

Dunno what you have... some of the 20-30w regulated mods will go down that far.. or farther.

The iTaste VTR can fire a 0.8 atty, as can the iTaste 134.

Yes, I guess newer mods are more suitable.
