Sup guys,
I was googling a bit and i did'nt find it so, this is my question :
On how much watts can i vape safely with 0.5ohms nichrome coils ?
+ overall what is the watt difference between nichrome and kanthal ?
Thank you for your answers
Here is a Good Site where you can Plug-In different types of wire and compare things.
Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
I use NiChrome 80 purely because I like the Taste of it Better.
Ok thx and how can i find out what type of nichrome im using ?
And where can i see the max safe watts ? I can see the heat flux, but i dont understand it...

The difference between nichrome and kanthal is that for the same gauge, nichrome (also known as ni80) has a much lower resistance per mm of wire. Because of this, between builds of equal size, a nichrome build will have lower resistance.
If you use a mech and have a fixed voltage to vape at, this translates into higher wattage.
You need to understand ohms law; the wattage you vape at doesn't really have much to do with coil material. The watts you can safely vape at depends on your battery, device, and atomizer.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Max Safe Watts"?
If you mean how many Watts can you run the Coil at and not get a Dry Hit? That is Hard to say. So much depends on you Wicking and the Amount of Air Flow.
As to the "Heat Flux". Think of it as how Hot the Coil will get for given Ohms/Wattage. Also notice that the Heat Flux will change for a Coil with the Same Ohms/Wattage but with different Gauges of Wire. Or Different Types of wire.
Where Heat Flux come in Handy is once do a Build that you like, plug in the Values of the Coil and you r Wattage and then Remember the Heat Flux Number. You can use it as a Baseline for other Builds. And it you make a Build with a Similar Heat Flux, but with Different Ohms/Geometry/Wattage, you should get a Hit that you will probably like also.
You can add watts till it's too hot to vape. There is no max SAFE wattage. There is a point I guess were the heat generated would cause the wire to fail. But then it just breaks and stops working.
