Hello, so I tried the Baby T-12 and the taste and vapor production is fine, but it makes a quite loud crackling noice every time I inhale. Is this dangerous, or just a nuisance?On the V8 stick you want to stick with the M Series baby coils. They are rated for direct output. The baby t12 will work but is not rated for direct output. Your V8 stick will try to push to reach the wattage range for that coil even on a nearly dead battery which is when it becomes dangerous and puts you at risk of the mod exploding if the saftety doesn’t kick in first.

Thank you very much, you’ve been quite helpful!Crackling/popping noises can be normal especially when the vape has been sitting unused for a little while. Everytime you inhale is something to keep an eye on also if you’re going to use baby t12 in a device that isn’t made to consistently power it then you need to be safe about it. Signs you need to watch for are the battery getting warm and when this happens you need to allow your stick to cool down. Also not using it when the stick is not fully charged. Smok does have protections in place but they don’t always work and from what I have saw it’s more frequent that they don’t work on their Stick mods.

One is built for direct output devices which is what the stick is.Can you explain further?
You seem to be saying the smok stick has voltage boosting on the 'T' series coils but not on the 'M' series coils?
How does it know which one its got, seeing as both are 0.15 ohms?
A baby T12 is designed for use in devices that can handle the power the coil will pull from the device safely and consistently. A stick can not handle the consistent drain a T12 will cause. As the battery power lowers the stick will continue trying to put out enough power to meet the T12 best range. The sticks battery is drained quickly and can’t pull enough power to fire the coil. This could lead to the batter becoming over heated leading to explosions due to a constant strain on the battery to power the t12 to the best W range. The M series coils were designed for direct output meaning they pull no more power that what the stick is capable of firing regardless of if the stick is fully charged or half. I hope this makes sense.T 12 has more coil to heat up requiring more power or a longer hold on the power. M 2 has less coil and is easier on the battery to get it to operating temperature.
The M2 is just an even performer across the entire voltage range the mod delivers. That's it.
It performs well when the battery is fully charged, and it performs well when it's going empty.
For the V8 stick:
It comes with a 0.15ohm coil installed. Running any other 0.15ohm coil is not going to harm you or the mod. Will it perform worse, better, equal? That's for you to test. Chances are, the T12 won't perform as well as soon as the voltage goes down.
Reading the product desc, the V8 stick caps at 20CDR (max 4.2V=84W), which is less than a 0.15ohm would theoretically draw from an entirely unregulated mod, but still enough to power the T12 in the manner Smok advises you to. So.. no problems.
I run a similar setup with my Ikonn Total. It eats coils down to 0.15ohms, but at the same time caps at 50W. I run whatever coils I desire, although some, of course, perform better with that cap than others.
Agreed! I am currently using a vaporesso cascade one plus and have a VooPoo Caliber on rotate as my back up. I’m not a fan of internal batteries either using these to try them out and see how I feel about them VS the Smok we carry. So far I am feeling like we may quit carrying Smok Pens and replace them with the Caliber and Vaporesso options. The Caliber stays charged all day even with consistent use which is awesome. The Vaporesso will last a solid 4 hours 6 hours if I continue vaping past full charge and into the red. Not bad but definitely not as good as the caliber.Well, that's what always kept me from getting a V8 stick: Smok.
I love the Big Baby Beast and the Baby coils to death, but Smok mods.. erh.. no, thx - too many "incidents" I've heard of. Plus, I'm not a fan of internal batteries. For all I know, they could equip it with complete and utter garbage, and I'll only learn about it if the device fails... not what I'm looking for.
No, sorry. I'm even more confused.I hope this makes sense.
You are talking about the stick as if it is a "smart regulated" mod, such thatthe stick will continue trying to put out enough power to meet the T12 best range.
No. I just worked backwards from the coil.If I understand your post correctly, you assume not that the M coil was tailored to fit the mod's output, but that the mod's output was adjusted to fit the M coil desired wattage at 0.15ohm?
I do not have a Smok Stick to test."... baby M2 coil head, which [was] specially made for stick v8batterymod"
