I've been looking at getting a TC mod and have noticed that they appear to run lower ohms than standard vw mods... The one I'm looking at says it can go down to 0.06ohms and the mod takes a single 18650. I'm confused as I know a single 18650 can't run a coil that low as the discharge would be far too high. I usually build in the 0.8ohm range so I'd not go that low anyway but curious how TC allows building that low.
Hope that makes sense...
To answer the question:
Unregulated low ohm vaping has nothing to do with running low ohm builds in Tc mode.
1. Even if TC isn't working, the material used to make TC capable coils (nickel or titanium) changes it's resistance with temperature. A 0.06 ohm coil at room temperature, might be over 0.5 Ohms when at 400F so the current draw is much lower than a simple calculator will give you because the resistance isn't constant.
2. Assuming TC is working, the electronics will throttle the output in order to keep a set temperature thus reducing the average amp draw.
3. These boards aren't stupid. They monitor the battery under load and if the voltage starts to sag too much, they will simply stop firing.
This isn't obviously an excuse to skip on good batteries but these devices are as safe as you can be regardless of coil resistance.
Can something happen? Highly unlikely but not impossible. Everything made by man can fail. However, think of this: will you stop driving because there is a possibility (no matter how low) of your brakes failing?
