Replacement Coils help needed

[AngiBe]

I haven't tried the Twas Brillig yet and I don't have the Ginger. Several samples are still steeping like White Rabbit. I like Zombie Apocalyse as a treat but not all day. I liked the Cherry Blossom sample and when I ordered I asked for extra flavor in it. After airing it out and steeping for a week, now it is perfect. LOL

Right now my favorite ADV are the Cherry Blossom, Kringle's Curse and Sub-Zero. I also keep mixing Malibu with Sub-Zero for a nice Tropical Breeze vape, I haven't nailed the perfect mix yet though. And I keep liking/hating Voodoo, it is better with a full tank but vape a little out of the tank and it is just meh, I can't figure out the Voodoo yet. It keeps changing on me.

Ok, my heart bleeds a little when someone isn't enjoying the VOODOO like me. LOLOL. I guess I have to ask what you are trying the VOODOO on/with? G6, VV, mini tank, reg?? I know some of you guys really like the mini tanks and that's great. For me, it doesn't give the best flavor at all with heavy, thick and complex juices whether it's Halo or otherwise. Lighter vapes or menthol, yes I feel they're fine.

Although the minis are 2.4 ohm like standard Triton tanks, the huge difference is the actual wicking system. The short, disposable wicks/tank is meant for short, smaller draws and best for a quick taste. If you are a chain or heavy vapor and prefer a long draw (over 5 seconds) certain juices WILL burn on a mini. The wick gets too hot and burns the juice. You will get off/odd tastes and it will effect the juice. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Voodoo is better with LONG, slow draws so it is counterintuitive in a mini tank and seems to perform better as a great juice on a VV. Also Evie, if you like less TH and cooler vapes, I would suggest higher ohms. The lower the ohm, the less resistance, more energy from the batt is being used. This means more TH and a hotter vape like on a 1.8 than from a 2.4. And more from 2.4 than 3.0. So if you are using a reg batt instead of a VV and can't adjust volts, the only thing you can do is adjust your ohms. And of course on a mini, you can't do this at all.

Thanks for the info! I'm glad halo offers different ohm heads, I'll need to get some higher ones. I'm having a hard time with a lot of juices being too harsh on my throat, then when they are I have a sore throat all day. This will help until I can spring for the vv

I play around with ohms quite a bit. The hard part sometimes is remembering which tank has which ohms. But I usually can tell once I start vaping. Also, keep in mind higher ohms have more resistance so it tends to drain the batt a little faster. But, that's where a second, fully charged batt becomes your best friend.

 

[DaveOno]

AngiBe, well said!! You have it all absolutely corect and I'm agreeing with it all.

It'd be nice if the heads were factory marked with the resistance. You would think by now there'd be different colored condoms.

When I bought a different resistance set of heads, I took the condoms off, and with a very fine jewelry file, cut a notch across the long tube. Not deep, just a scratch. Then if I get another resistance, I'll scratch 2 parellel marks. I made sure I cleaned all the metal particles out.

But really, gang. If you are caring this much about the quality of your vape experience, you should really buy a multi tester. Under $7 at Harbor Freight. Or get a better on at Sears Craftsman. They are easy to use, and invaluable for gauging coils, batteries, etc.

And if anyone has one and needs tips on how to use it, I'd be happy to 'spain it. (Maybe a thread exists on this?)

But untill you get a VV, coils is the way to adjust the vape.

And VooDoo in a Triton tank; it deserves no less...

 

[AngiBe]

I really need to do this trick with the scratching thing. Once I do my cleaning and toss all the wicks in the sink, it's over knowing which is which. I remember you talking about this before and I completely forgot about it but will be trying the next time around.

Going to have to try voodoo in a triton tank now. Might change the coil in one to the 2.6-2.8 ohms everything seems like it's harsh today even with a vv.

Weird, I get like that too. Usually the mornings for me. I have to turn down my VV on all juices and try and remember which tanks have higher ohms. I just want a smooth, cooler vape in the mornings. Prime with a few drops of Fusion usually does the trick for me.

I think you might have the ohms thing backwards in terms of battery drain. the less resistance (lower ohms) the more power being drained from the battery, the quicker the battery goes flat.
if you find it the other way around, I wonder if it's because you take longer drags on the higher ohm heads?

Volts don't drain a battery, amp load does:


P = power (watts)
V = volts
R = resistance
I = current (amps) I forgot why it's "I"

Voltage x voltage ÷ resistance (ohms) = power (watts)

Voltage ÷ resistance (ohms) = I (current/amps)

Hi- res:
4.9v²/3.0Ω = 8.0 watts
4.9v/3.0Ω = 1.6 amps

Lo-res:
3.7v²/1.7Ω = 8.0 watts
3.7v/1.7Ω = 2.2 amps

Even though a 3.0Ω atty at 4.9v and a 1.7Ω atty at 3.7v are producing the same amount of watts, when vaping lo-res the amps increase, which draws more from the battery.

Since 8 watts is 8 watts, an average vaper probably isn't going to notice a difference in the temperature of their vape, but they may notice the battery charge doesn't last as long.

EDIT-reread again and sry, I think I did flip it accidentally. Now gotta read again!!! LMAO!

 

[Fenris4024]

Love it when people get all scientific! But yup, its amp load, not wattage/ volts. I like the low res stuff on SOME juices, but overall, I tend to run at 2.2-3.0 in almost everything I use. I did at one point make a subohm micro+cotton on the REO, just to see what all the whoopy was about. made a TONE of cloud (and certainly had to use a lower nic percentage) but wasn't for me. Flavors were weird... some scorched really easy (makes sense, of course) and some just tasted like nothing at all.

 

[AngiBe]

I have no desire to sub ohm but.....really want to try a nano micro coil!!!! Have you done one?

I've been thinking of getting a mod. Don't know what good for first time mod

batteries produce consistent voltage until the power starts running dry, at least Lithium batteries such as Lithium-DiManganese-Oxide which deliver a nice 3.6-ish set of volts on their own. that's the chemistry going on during the galvanization process along with regulators and external battery circuitry put into place.

That's why it's best to look at Amp/Hours (or milli-amp hours mAH)to determine battery capacity. Watts is the amount of "work" the total system provides. Since Volts x Amps = Watts, and Watts remain consistent in this scenario.

So the 78mm G6 is about 280 milli-amps, then of course the Tritons which have significantly more staying power.





Also, it's the amps that are deadly. 65 milli-amps travelling across ones heart is enough to make it stop. That's why a 50,000V stun gun is usually safe-ish, but a 110V electrical outlet is bad juju. French kissing a light socket also falls into the "bad" category.....erm, or so i've heard.

 

[AngiBe]

Well said my friend Wheezal! Now I always understand it when I read it, but for some stupid reason, I like to reverse when I type it. My fingers don't catch up with my brain or vise versa. I haven't figured out which.

Not sure what you're looking for but there is a ton of them out there. Some worth it, some not so much.

Yup, did a 28g nano wrapped on a 20g blunt tip needle... kicked my ..... I'm thinking of making some like that, but with 32g kanthal in a vertical setup for my Evod/ Protank head rebuilds.... fix the airy draw of them. Instead of a standard horizontal coil where the wick is inside the coil, the idea is to build the coil vertically, and then to pack cotton in around the coil in the little cup, leaving the inside of the coil as your air flow from the bottom. It should also fix the "meh" flavors I get from most BCC types.

Or it will knock me on my ....!

one of the many reasons we keep getting back together.

Ok, I'm jealous. Haven't done one yet. But from what I've read and seen on YT, it's like getting the best of all worlds-nice vapor (w/out the total crazy sub ohm too much, stupid vapor), great flavor and TH. Did you get that experience? Like, was there a huge difference in flavor from a reg micro coil-both using cotton (I assume that's what you used)

 

[Fenris4024]

Mod-wise, it really depends on what you're looking for. Like Angi said, there's tons out there, but you can run into crappy quality control VERY easy. SO far, the ones I've used (not neccesarily own, mind you) that had the best quality were a REO, of course the infamous Provari, and honestly enough, an MVP 2.0. Heck, I'd almost say that the MVP 2.0 delivers almost as smooth of a vape as a provari....

*runs off to a bomb shelter before the provarinati find me*

 

[Fenris4024]

Flavor was certainly more pronounced in the nano over the micro (if you can believe that's even possible lol), vapor was a bit thicker, and since its a smaller amount of coil than even a micro, (of course, adjust the kanthal gauge to find the ohms you want it at), its certainly a more "responsive" vape too. I found I didnt have to do a primer fire on it to get the same vape as I would on a regular or a micro.

And yup, cotton. Silica would never be able to keep up with it.
