At 3.6 ohms per coil, I'd run them at the higher voltage. I used to run 3.0 ohm coils at 4.8 to 5 volts.

Yeah, my first duals were 1.5Ω and all I had at the time were my eGos--that was a very unhappy experience. And I popped one of the two coils in one carto--that wasn't fun.

Thanks again, Atty! I knew I could count on you! :)

And I'm gone!

Have fun without me, kids!

Anyone heard from Bear?

I really love Phil's videos. He does a great job and thorough review. The king of reviewers.

I don't always have time or patience enough to view them in their entirety though. I'll have to get back to the rest of that video at another time......:D

I agree. He's smart and thorough. He's also a great teacher--his rebuilding videos are very nice.

Anyway, Drew is all out of stock, so I'm waiting...

let's see. Two 3.6 ohm coils...so that's a 1.8 ohm DC head.

At 3 volts that's 3x3/1.8 = 5 watts.
At 5 volts that's 5x5/1.8 = 13.8888 watts

:facepalm:

How did I get 2.5 watts???

I need to sleep.

You're right. They are configured in parallel...

Thanks, Atty! :)

Yeah but you're right too. Because the watts are divided per coil. So 5 watts total, 2.5 per coil. Which would be too cool. That's why you need the higher voltage range. The 13.8888 watts = almost 7 watts per coil. Much more realistic.

That's 2.7 amps needed. Some devices won't power that, but most APVs and all the mechs would.

(Caffeine helps me to think and type more.)
