Voltage using Odysseus

[Ridgerunner]

Hey, I am wondering and those whom have used the iAtty could probably answer best. For the Odysseus, if I can get the resistance in the 1.4-1.6 range for the coil would one want to run this at 6 volts or for higher voltages say 5-6 volts should I use higher resistance wire? I assume one could make a LR coil and run it at 6 volts and it would perform like beast but burn out quickly like meteor entering the atmosphere. Let me know what you guys think.

If I remember right Rick once told me he was running 2.4 ohms at 6v which I plan on trying with Odysseus. I accidentally tried 1.5 ohms at 6v once and it tasted like burnt juice badly. If 2.4 ohms doesn't work out I will probably go 3 ohms which is how I vape my UFS

Imeo did some tests with the iAtty at different ohms and voltage combos (1.5 ohms at 6 volts, 1.5 ohms at 3.7 volts, 4.8 ohms at 6 and 7.4 volts, etc.) you can check the videos at the videos iAtty section on the Wiki:

I am not sure about running LR coil at more than 3.7 volts since I only vape at 3.7 and 1.5 to 2 ohms coils on my iAtty, but I think that you will not have good results running a 1.6 ohms coil at 6 volts (22.5 watts), I think it would be to much and you will have a burnt taste, however I think you are right about the wire gauge for the coil, if it its to thin I probably will not last much. Maybe a 1.6 ohms coil made with 32 awg khantal wire could work ok at that voltage. (I'm just guessing )

I absolutely would NOT run it at 1.5 ohms and 5 or 6v...but that's just me. For 5-6v I make a 3 ohm setup and it's nice and warm and full of flavor. 1.5 ohms @5v = 16 watts. Do you really want it that hot?

Imeo ran 1.5ohm at 6V using the iAtty. He first got the wick and coil under way at 3.7V then swapped the batteries

I bought some Kanthal A-1 32awg for my resistance wire and then bought .999 dead soft silver 32 gauge for NR wire. I have 2 Odysseus on the way to me along with a SS GGTS and will stick to 3.7volts running one on the GGTS and the other on a silver bullet or VV device. I will wait to buy replacement wick until the unit gets out to buyers and we start experimenting.

Para, what did you use to make the 3.0Ω set up ?

.16mm resistance wire w/116 ceramic wicking.

The Iatty with that setup is pretty close to perfection for me

Watt is not the right meassurment to see if the taste is burned guys. I will give you an example. If we make a wire at 2 ohm and we vape it at 7,4 volts , the watt will be at 27. If you vape this set up, you will not see a burn taste with a 0,2 or 0,22 fat R wire.

Watt is a fake meassurment. I first talked about watts on ecf and I first tell you that its not the right meassurment

 

[Wharf Rat]

Obviously new to rebuildables, where do I get .16mm resistance wire w/116 ceramic wicking.

Just a bit of advice the Nextel XC 116 will take a bit of ceramic modification to work since it is thicker then the stock 2mm wick.

This is all getting intriguing since the Ody's should start hitting ion a couple of days (as soon as the USPS gets off their fat white uh, seat cushions from Christmas break). Being of the cooler vape preference, I am going to want to start around 2.2-2.4 @ my usual 3.7.

Ah the joys of being satisfied at lower voltages!

Crap.........not my forte! I hated the ce2 wick....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nextel XC 116 hollow ?

So it should squish abit making it less than 3mm.

Anyone with some XC 116, can this be done ?
