rebuilding the vision vivi nova o.O

[Jfaria1891]

okay so i just watched "A PBusardo Tutorial - Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding" and in the video he rebuilds it using Kanthal resistance wire A-1 32 awg
the outcome of this was a resistance of 2.5 Ohms .....
thats all fine and dandy

would anyone know what size wire to use to get a 1.8 Ohms or like 2.2 ohms to use with an ego battery

from my understanding 2.5 ohms is too much for a 3.7 volt

i would do tests myself and try different wires but i have nothing to test the Ohms and im just assuming here that the resistance has to do with the gauge of the wire used.

thank you so much to whoever can answer this one for me!

I use 32 guage kanthal on my novas and get around 1.8 ohms with 4 wraps. More wire will raise the resistance, less wire will lower it. It's all about the overall length of the wire. 4 wraps is a consistant 1.7 to 1.8 for me. I recommend you get one of the ohm meters to test it with tho. It's $20 but worth every penny imo.

this man is a godsend lol i honestly didn't think i would get a solid answer on this because it was all technical =P thanks so much! Makes perfect sense.

you can also use lower gauge wire like 30AWG. I have 30 gauge I use for building my lower ohm coils for my reo which runs at 3.7v as well. You can probably use as many wraps as Pbusardo and get the ohms your looking for.

 

[Thrasher]

yup the lower the guage the lower the resistance wrap for wrap.

 

[Jfaria1891]

which method would you suggest i feel like using lower gauge would be better because there would be 5 wraps meaning more wire to heat up and make more vapor i would assume?

 

[JCJohn23]

yes I prefer to use lower gauge because then I can add an extra wrap or 2 and there's more coil to vaporize more juice I get lots of vapor from my rebuild nova head with the 30gauge wire
