I think those are designed specifically for the original Cascade tank, a proprietary design. That tank came with an adapter to use the GT not GTM. The later Cascade models used only the GT coils. The GT coils are the right fit for the SKRR-S, I believe.

Nope. GTM coils are made for the Cascade tank, they are not compatible with the Skrr tank. GT Core coils are compatible with both the Skrr and Cascade tank, the later requires an adaptor (comes with the tank)

The Cascade also came in different variants (Baby SE etc) that specifically used GT Core coils – these are not compatible with GTM coils.

The thing is that I am looking to take advantage all the power that my Vaporesso Luxe S has to deliver! In addition to SKRR-S tank I've also got the Falcon King tank and the eLeaf Melo 5 which I don't like so much.... Can you recommend please any compatible coil with these tanks that can handle 200W or even 220W?

What do you want to achieve with 220 watts?

First, this is unobtainable with most coils, for the device has limitations with voltage and current output. Second, there are no 18650 batteries on the market that can safely handle the current draw from 220 watts, which would be in the region of 40 amps per cell, give or take

I am new to Vaping, it helped me so much to quit smoking! Now I wanna try new things like cloud chasing! I love my mode and wanted to take advantage of its capabilities, even 150-200W will do! I have also good batteries installed in this (Sony VTC 6), I already read that these batteries can handle this amperage until they reach high temperature! I won't overdo it with high wattage but to my knowledge the mod auto offs when it overheats (have that enable it)! So can you recommend any coil please?

Good to hear vaping helped you to quit smoking. But you do not need 200+ watts to cloud chase.

Sony VTC 6 are great batteries, but also have their own limitations of a safe CDR (Continous Discharge Rate) of 15 amps, 20 amps max if you can keep the cells under 80°C. I would not use them beyond 80 watts

The Skrr tank has a range of QF Mesh coils, GT Core coils also come in Mesh. Both will provide ample clouds in the 50 to 70 watt range. You can also use juice with a high VG ratio – 80%+ VG with a GT Core mesh coil would make the weather man happy.

No, the GTM 8 coil is too big to fit
Thanks for your reply! Can you recommend any other (multiple) coil that fits the SKRR-S tank and can handle about 200W (preferable messed)? By the way I love my Luxe S kit and I want to avoid buying any other's brand tank (for example smoke's that has coils like that). I want to see all the output potential of this amazing mod with the excellent SKRR-S tank that I already enjoy!

There isn’t any!

For a coil to be able to handle that kind of power it needs a lot of metal, or better put mass. By design, the coils that are compatible with the Skrr tank are challenged by their size, meaning there is only so much that can be done with them. You are bound to their limitations. You just have to accept that.

There are coils for other tanks (ones that you mentioned you do not like), that CLAIM to be to handle that type of power - but using them at those levels, users have reported an extremely short life span, if any life span at all. High power, low packed in wick (cotton) has its limitations. It just does not work!

And again, using those batteries at 200 watts increases your risks of thermal runaway which is NOT something you want to experience. The thermal sensors for your device are for its own circuitry, NOT the batteries. There is no vape device that can sense the internal temperatures of the batteries! If your device shuts down at 90°C because it feels this is too hot for the circuitry, what temperature are your batteries at?? You do not know! In fact, your batteries can reach dangerous temperatures long before your device even starts to get warm!

Not trying to discourage you from chasing clouds – I am trying to advise on how to perform it safely. You do not need 200 watts to produce massive clouds.

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! I just learned a lot from you!!:thumbs:

Any coil maybe for my Falcon King tank? I will be very cautious when I will use high wattage and probably I won't reach 200W!

Max I’ve seen for the Falcon King is 80 watts. And to note, this is a manufacture rating – operating a coil at its max power rating greatly diminishes its life and increases the risk of a poor experience…ie: burnt tasting vape.

The highest rated coils I have ever seen are Smok TFV12 coils – and these have an extremely horrible reputation for their poor quality and vape experience. Not to mention, they are not compatible with either the Falcon or Skrr tank.

The only other is the Vaporesso GTM 8 coil for the non SE Cascade tank.

And if you are going to toy with high power settings, pick up a pair of Samsung 20S cells – these have a CDR rating of 30 amps, which would be good for 180 watts when 2 are used (90 watts if using a single battery).

And to add – just because a device is rated at 220 watts, that does not mean it is able to achieve that wattage. Every device has its limitations in what it can output in terms of max voltage and current. So depending on what these limitations are, you will be limited in reaching 200+ watts with a very small select amount of resistance. 220 watts is more marketing than fact. Not to mention you are operating the device at it limits which will stress the device. Would you drive your car at it’s max RMP?

Yes even if you shoot for 200 w with a two battery mod, well, you will get like three hits (fry your coil probably) and then your batteries will be like, "F:censored: you."

Read the list of battery tables for 1860 batteries and you will come to see that two (even the VERY BEST OF THE BEST) are not rated for 200 watts.

Here you go. Sorry I have had zero success with linking the table itself.

Mooch's Recommended Batteries | E-Cigarette Forum

AND NO this does not mean you need a three battery mod, a two battery larger cell mod, you just need to start thinking about "When is enough enough?"

Most people vaping that high are in cloud chasing competitions and they have special gear, flavorless eliquid and etc.

While a very tiny minority of vapers DO like that type of wattage, they are a SMALL minority and my guess is you are not one of them.

JUST CHILL ALREADY basically
