Just wondering what is the hottest atty with or without a mod? How hot does it get? Really any information at all, I have a project in mind.
Thanks.
Sorry... but that's kind of ambiguous and in some ways it doesn't mean much.
If an atty is being fed e-liquid at the right rate, and the airflow through the unit is maintained, the coil won't get much above the vaporization temperature of the e-liquid (which is pretty low). If you increase the wattage.. and simultaneously increase the liquid delivery rate.. the actual temperature can remain pretty much a constant (which is exactly what you want).
The coil on an atty will get quite hot when it is not receiving enough liquid. And when that happens, the coil can actually glow "red hot" (almost any atty can do this)... which means that you're talking temperatures over 1000 degrees F. And by conduction and convection coupling, the outside of the atty body can get warm too.
The coil on the atty will stay relatively cool if it is getting too much liquid (below vaporization temperature), but in this specific case the outside of the atty housing can actually get warmer than one would think because the liquid is conducting the heat away from the coil and transmitting it to the atty casing. Badly flooded atties can "feel" quite warm.
Soooo... calculating the wattage that an atty will consume is quite easy. But trying to figure out "how hot" it actually runs... well that's pretty complicated and relies on a lot of factors.
