Who's still vaping 1.8ohm Kanthal?

[llmercll]

Hi,

I was wondering how many of you still vape on 1.8ohm Kanthal (or close to that). I haven't caught on to subohm vaping even though I have a Triton tank. I like the way higher resistance coils heat up slower (so I can take longer draws), as well as the increased battery life and reduced heat.

I kind of feel like it's older tech though, so am curious if I am the minority these days, trying to recreate the vape of my old ego =p

Thanks!

I do. Use the old Davides with Kanger coils at 1.8. on a ProVari 2.5. Works for me, It's what's I'm happy at. There's probably other stuff out there that would work better but every time I try something else I quickly run back to my old reliable. I'm happy there and so that's what I'm stocking up with. I feel no shame in that. If it makes you happy, who cares what others think? If it works for them, I couldn't feel happier for them. Y'know, whatever gets your rocks off.

the wifey does 1.6 28ga in a Kayfun...

 

[Bigbob2322]

Works for me.

I also above ohm vape. I tried to subohm, can't do it.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I do it. Slower, more relaxed...no hurries, mate.

 

[tj99959]

Yup, me too.
Hell I even use 3 ohm coils a lot.

What gauge wire are you using that "higher resistance coils heat up slower"? There is nothing slow about the way a 30ga 1.8ohm coil heats up.

Kayfuns and Taifuns from 1.2 to 1.7 Ohms, and I never plan to change.

My first convert wont even consider giving up his Silo tank with 1.8's in it...

My two favorite setups are a ProVari P3 with a Kabuki or KFL+V2 topper, and a BilletBox. The Kabuki is a flavor chaser's dream, and uses Nautilus BVC coils -- 1.6 or 1.8. The flavor is better than anything I've ever tried, including dual .6 ohm and Claptons. The BilletBox can use rebuildables, or 1.6-1.8 BVCs (not Nautis). Outstanding! I've come full circle: flavor is where it's at, for me; it's what keeps me far far away from analogs. I think there are more than a few of us out there

Used to have an authentic Kayfun Lite-Plus v2, but I lost it while I was in the Philippines. I have since replaced the Kayfun with a Lemo 2.

I make a single coil using Kanthal 27 guage wire in the 1.2 - 1.4 ohm range.

I feed this coil 12.5 watts of power.

BTW ... I vape mouth to lung (like I would a cigarette)

My Kayfuns are all coiled supra-ohm. But I have several cloud chaser tanks an drippers as well.

 

[David Wolf]

1.6 and 1.8 ohm nautilus coils.

1.8Ω for me in a simple smoktech ARO tank on istick 30's and MVP 11 watt batteries. I have tried the lower Ω's and it isn't for me. I do a MTN (mouth through nose) draw. Since the vapor doesn't have to go down into the lungs to do its job I figure I am doing my lungs a favor by not putting it in there.

I have a supply of RDA's for just in case. If I ever have to use them I will still stick with 1.8Ω on them. I enjoy a cooler vape and a long battery life I also have a couple of mechanicals for just in case but hope I never have to use them.

I have a bunch of Kayfun v4 tanks and run all of them at around 2.1 ohms (28gauge, 10 wraps, 15.5 watts). I've only recently got a spool of 27 gauge kanthal and I'm playing with that now. 10 wraps with that is right at 1.7 ohms. I'm quite happy with that.

 

[BulletStopper]

Close. Currently vaping 1.5 ohm single coil on a Russian 3.0 at 16 watts.

Ooh yea, nauti coils in the Kabuki, all I need

 

[motordude]

I am at 2 ohm or above with silica!
I will probably never change either.

 

[nyiddle]

Heh, I've been going back up in resistance lately. I'm vaping a 1.5 ohm single coil today.

I've also gone up in nic level (~10mg), but I'm only vaping ~2-3mL a day (unflavored).

I vape 1.8 30 ga kanthal with cotton wick in modified T3S and 1-1.2 ohm 28ga Kanthal in Sub Tank Mini's.
