You should never use the rated watts as a hard rule. The .15 uses parallel coils of a smaller diameter than the .5 iirc so power needs are similar. Both vape well around 25w.

Good to know as until now, I've always gone off what was printed on the side of the coil!

It's ok as a possible usable range but never exact. The minimum is usually the only number I go by and even then, ideal setting for your taste is going to depend on juice and device. IMO high vg always needs a bit higher power than high pg.

Wow! I'm learning a lot today! I vape at least 70% vg and didn't know that higher vg takes more power. Makes sense

That's a good way to go through replacement heads fast, end up with funky off tastes, singe / burn the wicking material nearest the coil(s) & have wicking problems.

Always start a new fully primed head off at a low power setting & work your way up gradually over the first half tank or so to find what you like best.
Lower power setting = Below the lower watt that is printed on the body of the head.

Why is it that Kanger SSOCC .5 coil says 15-60w and the .15 coil says 15-50w? Shouldn't the .15 be capable of higher levels of wattage?

Because the .15Ω is Ni / temp control only, the .5Ω is kanthal or could be the .5Ω clapton.
Actually the .5Ω is available in Nc, Clapton kanthal, ceramic kanthal, SS316L.

That, and possibly also because with the higher resistance coil you need a much higher voltage to reach that power level. May also have something to do with air flow. Don't use that device, but if the holes are smaller on the 0.5, that's a likely reason - no provision for enough air at high power to not burn the wick. :2c:

It does if you want any kind of vapor.

It isn't really high % Vg takes more power to get a satisfying vape or produce cloudz.
More like Vg is smoother, sweeter, less harsh than Pg and can be vaped at higher power levels without noticing an increase of throat hit / harshness.

Vg also mutes flavorings, you can prove to yourself by mixing 5% total flavoring in 50/50, then, mix 5% total flavoring in 30pg/70vg.
I've done it dozens of times, at 5% high Vg has little to no noticeable flavor other than sweet while the 50/50 to me at least is full flavored.

on edit;
all the kangar ssocc sub ohm heads have the same airflow, the .15Ω is Ni, & IMO not at all good in any way. I'd toss it unless you just want to experience TC vaping very close to the worst way possible.

No wonder that when I started making higher VG juice I wondered why my juice wasn't as flavorful...I hadn't increased the flavorings!

With an increase in the use of flavorings comes all the fun of finding out that some of your favorite flavorings may taste horrid when increased.
A few recipes may have to revamped almost from scratch.
Flavorings caramelize & gunk up coils more rapidly, wicking material clogs & looses capillary wicking action and turns all brown & funky looking & tasting quicker.

You may want to re-think and re-do your recipes?

Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. No problem since I have lots of extra time!

I would keep the ratios the same while increasing pct. In other words, up the pcts evenly, so if a recipe calls for 4% for flavor 1
and 2% for flavor 2
I would up flavor 1 to 5%
and flavor 2 up to 3% and so on.

Not to mention the dreaded 'steep' time is increased as it takes thicker ejuice longer to reach its full potential.

OK, so Meggroll users, I'm pretty sure I know the answer but please confirm for me. The v2 uses the same coil heads as the old v1, correct? I'm confused by the fact that FT lists a Ego One V2 Coil head, isn't this just the same as the old Ego One CL Coil Head? In which case it seems odd that they cost more than the CLR heads?

My understanding is that there's a significant difference between CL & CLR heads. I never tried the former, so I can't speak from direct experience.

But the CLRs, for THIS vaper at least, are >

kadly, I've never had the old v1 Eggie, but I BELIEVE it takes the same coils as the V2. I can't even begin to figure out FT's way of descriptions or the "why".

I do know that the CLs are rumoured to be a disaaaaaaaaastah, but those of us using the CLRs?

Check the pic above and say.......


MAGNIFICO!!!!!!!!!! Si!



(oh, and feel free to stop by for q&a, dahlink) eGo ONE tank series – CLR coil

    Ahhh, thank you, I'll pass the link along as well, since these aren't really my questions.
