Sub ohm coils in Clearos?

[eMats]

Is there anything I have to watch out for in using sub ohm coils in my clearos? I mount them on my mechs and they seem to do well especially with the new Aerotank where I can up the airflow to them. I don't run ridiculous resistances, just around .8 to 1.0 ohm. They seem to vape almost as well as my kayfun.

Hmmmm… that sounds interesting to me! The reason you always see people using sub ohm coils in atomizers is the airflow is directly on the coil. I mean if you want to, then go for it! I would say just be careful on your voltage/wattage and know your limits of your specific battery(just typical sub ohm stuff).

I must say I'm surprised that it works alright! what voltage/wattage are you actually running it on? or are you using a mech mod?

I see no inherent dangers in rebuilding your clearos with sub-ohm coils if possible. One thing to consider, however, is that the heat is generally much more than a standard or even low resistance coil on a regulated mod or APV. I don't necessarily believe that they intended clearomizers to be rebuilt, despite it being a possibility with certain heads and setups.

The chance of burning a rubber grommet, insulation piece, or other such component rises when you begin to fiddle and re-make such coils. I certainly wouldn't put a .3Ω coil in a Protank head unless I was absolutely certain the airflow and wicking capacity would mitigate any potential hazard of burning rubber.

That being said, .8Ω to 1.0Ω is a definite safe zone in the sub-ohm realm. At most you'd be pushing 22 watts which, to me, seems well within the intended range.

Maybe... just be careful dry burning them and always check/maintain your batteries!

Vape well, vape often

Why would you want to use a sub ohm coil anymore? A more normal resistance micro coil will out perform it anyway.









<~~ that is a 2 ohm coil blasting away

This would be my concern. It's not the resistance that's the issue per se. 20 watts is a lot of heat being pumping into a small space with typically plastic and possibly rubber like components around the coil. These devices were designed to accommodate 10 watts in typical use.
