Questions about Aspire BVC Voltage Ranges (not Nautilus)

[Stormdad]

Hello ECF,

I'm new to the vaping world and started off with a few Ego-C Twist VV and the Aspire ET-S Clearomizer.
The tanks came with 1.8Ω BDC but I ordered the BVC replacement heads.
Looking at the Aspire site it mentions that there is a newer version of the BVC available, what has me confused is the voltage range that they list. The older version (the ones I have now) are listed as 1.8Ω (3.0 - 5.0V) which seems like a reasonable range for the batteries that I'm using. The new version however is listed as 1.8Ω (4.2 - 5.0V) this appears to be at the top end of my batteries voltage capabilities. The 2.1Ω heads are completely above my voltage range at 5.0 - 6.0V.
The safe vaping power chart that I use adds to my confusion considering the voltage ranges that Aspire is listing for these coils.
Any help getting my head wrapped around this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

The Safe Vaping Powerchart was designed when many vapers were using cartomizers (that was all that was available). Most of us have moved on and no longer consider that chart relevant to the equipment we use today.

I have not picked up any of the 2nd generation BVC's but the current one's I can vape at up to 18 watts without getting dry/burnt hits.

Hi Susan, thanks for the response!
I'm not really bothering with the power chart anymore, been adjusting to taste and seem to have settled around 8w.
I guess my concern is more the listed voltage range of the 2nd generation heads.
With my current range of 3.2 - 4.8v, will I have issues with the 2.1Ω 5.0 - 6.0v heads?
Don't want to order stuff that's not going to work with my Ego-C batteries.

Thanks

They haven't changed the BVC coils.

They have just changed their recommended voltage range.

So if you liked them before, you will like them now.

Voltage on its own is irrelevant. There is also this new and improved, made in USA, by the hard working Americans, that has revolutionized space travel and approved by NASA. I present to you,.... ..... drum roll........... "WATTAGE"!!

hello Stormdad, welcome to the ECF forum

ballpark is the old rule of add 2.0 to your coil Ω’s
eg: 1.8Ω + 2.0 = 3.8 volts / 1.6Ω+2.0=3.6 v

was the ‘range’ you were looking at maybe due to dual coil ?

I get along good with ET-S bvc 1.6Ω @ 3.6v

good luck

I'm so new to this that I really have nothing to compare these coils to.
I guess that I'll just have to see how long a coil last before forming an opinion.
The real goal is not to break down and go buy a pack of cigs...

It seems that 8 watts is a good spot for me as far as flavor, throat hit, and vapor.

Hello pufZeppelin and thanks for the welcome!
I never even fired the BDC that came with the rig and opted to start straight out on the BVC.
The rule of thumb that you mention appears to be spot on because I have settle on 3.8v - 8.02w for a 1.8Ω coil.

yes Watts will do it for you "AUTOMATICALLY"

8 watts will usually get you where you need to be {7.5-8.0-8.5}

watts is kinda set it and forget it, it will maintain the heat YOU like (with volts)
and keep adjusting the volts as needed to maintain your watts setting...

With iTaste MVP and Nautilus BVC i could only go to 3.8V and 9W to have a perfect balance for taste and temp.

With Sigelei 100; i could go to 12W, 5.3V and still have a nice cool flavor with out cooking the juice or the coil.

Point is; the lower end(cheaper) devices arent very good at controlling power output no matter what the digital dial tells you.
