Running regulated mod at minimum coil resistance - long term?

[ravensierra]

Hi all, new here.

Just looking at the Horizon Tech Arctic tank at the moment, available at .2ohm or .5ohm coil resistance.

I've picked up an istick 50W mod, which states .2ohm as its minimum to fire.

Would I be likely to shorten the life of the mod by running the Arctic on it in the long term?

Thanks!

Not the mod itself, just the battery. Especially on the 0,2 ohm coils.
But seeing the istick has a non replacable battery it is the same thing.

BTW. Did you see rip trippers review on the Artic?

If your going to vape that low you might consider something you can replace and charge the battery on. You will also benifit from a 30 amp battery. Two good units are the Segeli 150 watt and the IPV3 150 watt. I have the ipv3 and it takes TWO removable 18650 30 amp batteries. I get three days of use before I need to charge my batteries. That includes Sub Ohm vaping. I'm not sure what the amp rating of your unit is but you really don't want to push your battery to its limits.

When you are operating ANY piece of equiptment at the LIMIT. It is time for an UPGRADE.

Im gonna bet the engineers of the chip built in some safety factor but still than again, running something at its max potential is asking for an early end of life performance issues.... in other words, you may fry the chip/circuits sooner than you want...

As has been stated above, running a mod at it's maximum is running that device hard and will indeed give you shorter battery life. Just an example...

I run 2 sig 150 box mods with Joytech delta 2 at 40 watts and Subtanks and 30 watts. The mods are capable of 150 watts, but because I don't max them out, I get three days of battery life before charging.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Looks like a hardware upgrade would be in order to go for any most of these new sub ohm tanks.

I'm pretty satisfied with the Atlantis I'm running, and last thing I need is to get through even MORE juice!
