Somebody please help me, List of resistance wire could be use as a coil?

[Jeq10]

Hi All,

Thanks for sparing your time to read, i hope someone can help me out on this regards.
I'm very new to vaping world (Going to be 3 month by Oct)

I use a semi mechanical mod (Tesla Invader 3),and i just realized that there's more we can achieve by using electrical mod (Watched it on YouTube)

Can someone enlighten me about viable low resistance wire that could be use as a coil, with the chemical sign (I'll be very grateful)

Thanks alot guys, and as usual... Good day to everyone who's reading this..


Cheers!

There are 2 types of coil wire that can be used in Watts mode. Kanthal (an alloy of metals) and SS (Stainless Steel). Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti) can only be used with a Temperature Control (TC) device. They cannot be used in Watts mode. SS can be used in TC mode as well.

For that Tesla Invader you have 3 primary wires you can use for it as it is straight voltage and wattage output.

Most Common - Kanthal A1, to get lower resistance with Kanthal you have to either use fewer coil wraps, larger gauge wire, or multiple parallel coils (example of multi-coil, dual coil is 2X identical coils in parallel, this effectively splits resistance in half due to the two parallel coil paths). Kanthal is an alloy made up of iron, ceramic, aluminum, chromium, and several others
2nd most common is Nickel Chromium (NiChrome) - Similar to Kanthal, it is a bit softer, has a bit lower resistance to Kanthal, I personally use NiChrome 80 which the 80 states how much Nickel is in the alloy. Again to get lower resistance, fewer wraps, larger wire gauge thickness, more parallel coils
Newest and gaining popularity - Stainless Steel 316L which has lower resistance by nature than NiChrome. Again # of wraps, gauge of wire thickness, and number of parallel coils lowers resistance further.

CAUTION
Before diving down into doing re-buildable coils and atomizers/tanks you better first read up and study up on
1) Battery Safety - understanding of battery safety is knowing what your battery amp limits are, and what your resistance of your coils and/or watts are going to request of the battery in amps which #2 and #3 below will tell you
2) Ohm's Law - this set of formulas apply to any electrical device, understanding most of how these formulas apply to vaping and such are needed basic learning. The Formula of Ohm's Law of (Voltage/Resistance=Amps) is the most relevant for Mechanical/Unregulated/Semi-Regulated devices like your Invader
4.2v/1ohm=4.2amps
4.2v/0.5ohm=8.4amps
4.2v/0.25ohm=16.8amps
3 ) Is a subset of Ohm's Law but many term it Watt's Law - This formula applies to regulated variable wattage devices (devices you can set the wattage output yourself on), (Watts Set/Lowest Voltage Before Mod Shutdown or Low Battery Error/Control Board Efficiency=Maximum Amps).

50watts/3.2v/90%=17.3611amps
50watts/6.4v/90%=8.6806amps

Be safe out there.

Oh yeah, forgot about NiChrome.

Hi Guys, didn't expect to have a reply very super soon, thanks alot Gandymarsh & IMfire... Your nick remind me alot of a battery type btw IMR la la la bla bla bla (That's a made up code, and a joke LOL).

Super very useful reply guys.. Sorry hope it's not over welcoming your help... But do you know what are the wire that could be use for vape (I know it's called low resistance wire) it's alot and i don't know which one can be use... And they have their chemical code name (Fecral, etc)..
That would be very nice!

Lotta respect (Doffing hat)

Kanthal A1 chemical code = FeCrAl - example of resistance per foot of 24awg round would be 2.07 Ohms per foot
NiChrome = NiCr - example 24awg round would be 1.641 Ohms per foot
Stainless 316L = CSiMnPSCrMoNi - example 24awg round would 1.101 Ohms per foot

Anything lower resistance, if you are thinking of very low resistance like Ni200 or Ti1, can't use those 2 wires on anything but a Temperature Controlled mod, due to with Ni200 the melting point is very low and if not controlled properly at the TC level could lead to Nickel poisoning, Ti1 if over heated creates titanium dioxide, again not healthy to have in your vapor aerosol.

Ceramic?! Others?! I thought FeCrAl (KA1) was just iron-chromium-aluminum?

 

[IMFire3605]

Different types of Kanthal can have ceramic in it, A1 may not, but for A1

Kanthal A-1 — Kanthal
It does have other compounds in it beside just Iron, Chromium, and Aluminum, like traces of Silicon, and manganese

Sure, I guess. And carbon. "Traces" being the key word here, though. Up to a few tenths of a percent, at maximum. No minimum. It can be as little as "zero." Presumably, it "should" be zero, but is hard to eliminate entirely and so a little teeny tiny bit may be allowed if it doesn't affect the physical or chemical properties too drastically. I may be wrong (that happens a lot, actually) but, personally, I would call those "contaminants" and not "components" of the material. The chemical composition of peanut butter may contain traces of beetle carcasses, but you don't see that in the ingredients list.

(Also, those are all "elements" [individual "species" of atoms]. A "compound" [molecule/"molecular compound"] is what you get when elements [atoms] are combined.)
