Vapor is too hot.

[zmauls]

I'm running a 0.24Ω dual coil on my IGO-W. It's great, but the vapor is too hot to inhale for more than a second or two. The air holes are currently drilled out to 1/8", so I'm hesitant to go bigger.

Unless, of course, that is the problem, in which case I'll fire up my drill right now.

If air flow is the problem, I'm thinking about maybe doing two smaller air holes above each of the current ones, perhaps 1/16", making a triangular shape, or maybe two more 5/64" air holes on each side, away from the coils, as in if each half of the cap is drilled now, making it so that each quarter of the cap is drilled. I've done this before on a different atty and enjoyed it, though I'm not sure of its effects.

Help.

You do realize you are vaping at nearly 74 watts?

Is that really your intention? I think this has a lot to do with your vapor being "TOO HOT".

 

[magicpad]

Try wrapping a higher resistance coil. I shoot for the 0.7-0.8 ohm range on my dripper.

 

[jared1taylor]

My air holes are atleast a 5/32 or larger when I vape on that low of ohms.

Yep. My buddy vapes around 123. I'm not gonna play that game, but yes, it is really my intention.

Great! I figured as much. Thank you.

 

[magicpad]

Just curious, but doesn't your battery go dead in like half an hour if you vape at 70+ watts? Am I missing something?

Your buddy is playing with fire, literally...

 

[TheReign]

I'd recommend you be with your buddy at all times when vaping, Not real close though. You might be taking him him to the ER very soon.

at .24 ohms thats getting close to the ER without the proper safety measures taken

Judging by punching the #'s into a calc, his buddy is running around .14ohm and pushing right at the max discharge of the best batteries out there, living on the edge...lol.

 

[TheReign]

Thats just not safe, at all Lol. my sony's are 30amp and I feel weary about using my .45 super nanos... I've only heard about what happens when you push it to the limits and I don't even want to get close to it Lol

How old are you guys running your devices at such dangerous capacities? That's very dangerous and is like playing with dynamite! You know it could explode and there goes a hand and a face?

Higher ohm coils would help.

 

[suspectK]

I think you need to research more...airflow should be practical knowledge before getting into deciohm coils.

I doubt they're actually vaping at 123watts.. voltage drop is already pretty bad with most devices and batteries at normal temperatures. I use 4.2 volts to figure current needs, but I'm lucky to get 3.7volts with voltage drop in the pv's+atomizers I have.

Maybe they're using 26650's with that 0.14ohm coil?... just a hopeful thought.

Check out this video; Resistance & Air Flow.

I don't go below 0.5 ohms in my Trident. I keep my air flow on the coils. Two 2.25mm holes makes for a cool vape. If I went to 0.25 ohms I would expect to need to make the holes bigger. Yours are 3mm. I would keep the air flow on the coils for best vapor and flavor. Drilling in a triangular pattern like you are thinking of would IMO increase heat and TH, decrease vapor and flavor. But I have not done this and I could be wrong

Your amp draw on the battery is approaching 20 amps (depending on ohm reader accuracy and the battery you're using), so make sure you've got that covered.

Vape safe

I think this one Wins the Quote of the Day Award.

That was like reading another language. I have no idea what any of that meant.

Ever thought about Dialing Back the Ohms on that Coil a Bit?

Might help with that Flaming Hot Vapor you're Trying to Inhale. And also limit your Acrolein intake.

If he read anything or studied anything about subohming he would realize that it's the low ohms and the airflow he has currently causing it. I'm sure he doesn't realize how dangerous it is at that low of a resistance.

 

[zmauls]

My buddy's build is 0.08Ω. Two coils of twisted 24G wire. With this build, his high-end brass mod maintains a voltage drop of about 0.1V.

That post about my spring buckling was months ago, not to mention just one month after I joined this site. Thankfully, this site provides a plethora of knowledge and ideas for improved performance and safety standards. I'm not stupid.

Furthermore, 1/8" air-holes are big in my book. I am well aware of the relationship between ohmage and air-hole size. I simply didn't want to lose flavor. As for my batteries, I run 23 amp batteries in my Reo and 30 amp batteries in my tube mods.

Not that it matters as you've all already come to your rash conclusions about my lack of intelligence, but I drilled out my air-holes to 5/32" and everything is going swimmingly.

I've never seen or heard of anyone in my community blowing a battery, and no one I know vapes above 0.4Ω. Instead of letting yourselves be fearful of rumors and hearsay, I suggest you educate yourselves on the actual capabilities of your APV's.

For me, and many people that vape, it is more of a hobby than a habit. Like any hobby, I dedicate a large amount of time to researching and studying the equipment and paraphernalia, both to remain safe and to get the most out of what I do. I have never taken a new mod out of its box and simply fired it up. Whenever I purchase a new piece of equipment, the first thing I do is take it completely apart to examine all of its components in order to assure that, should any problems arise, I might know where they are sourcing themselves.

I find your assumptions attributing me some level of stupidity insulting. Again, vaping is a hobby, and it should remain fun for anyone who chooses to get involved. So long as the proper safety precautions are taken, I see no legitimate reason not to push your hobbies to their maximum potential. This response was not meant to offend anyone, but in the future, I suggest you stray away from assuming that the OP is unknowledgeable or foolish. Let's all have fun, huh?
