Part 2 !! stingray mod with areotank mega which coil ?

[banditruss]

hi all again !!
part 2 
just got the stingray mod clone with a kangertech areotank mega with 10w kick in, using 18350 800mah 3.7v batteries what would be the best coil to run ?
and would it be better to put higher mah batteries in ?
another question can it run other tanks like the 510 subtank or kayfun lite only ask as i cant see how they would fit .i presume the coil on the areotank joins between the stingray and areocoil (cant tell because i havent got a coil yet )
thx again !

You're only going to get a limited run time with any 18350 battery banditruss, a lower mah just means they'll drain more quickly depending what you run them at.

I'd think a Micro coil will be your best option . . . what style head have you in your Aerotank?

[banditruss]

i dont have a coil in atm it didnt come with one ...

[Perpetua]

Did it not come with a head at least?





In answer to you edit . . . . you won't be able to run a low ohm subtank on this set up, you'll need batteries that can safely handle the higher load generated. Which I'm not aware of any 18350's that can.

[banditruss]

hi yeah didnt think could run sub ohm just wondered what ohm was best ,or if to upgrade batteries to improve which ohm to run ?
this is how it came attached to a stingray clone

[decoy]

ok not owning any of this stuff it is only my best guess but here go,s

starting ta the tip of the pen
it looks like the base(bottom)of the tank is attached to the top of the stingray clone(510 connector)see if you can undo them if you can the bit with copper stays on the stingray and this is the bit you screw diff tanks to

the other bit thats screwed to it takes the coil that perp put pic up for(old and new) it dont matter which type you get and they screw in to the middle of the base of the tank(the bit you hopefully unscrewed from the top of the stingray) it do need to be tight but the maine thing with vape gear is only nip it up DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as its a bugger to undo stuff when you do

the 3 bits your left with that you havent touched yet will screw together and can be filled with juice

the base of the tank (bit with coil in) should then screw on to the bit with the juice in and your tank is then complete

screw tank back on to top of stingray and keep it upright for 5/10 mins to let the juice soak in to the coil and then it should be good to go



now then the main thing about resistance is you cant run lower than 1ohm on a 18350 batt safely ,they arnt built for it,simples
to run at . 5 you need a good 18650 batt(hopefully you got some tubes with your stingray that can be added so it will take bigger(longer)batts)
hope that helps

Decoy ...your a star your right the bottom two bit come apart ....ok in a wood protected vice and cloth covered pump pliers !
Brilliant now i can see how it works
fortunately i didnt get extension tube for the sting ray so am left with the smaller 18350 so unless i can find an extension piece 1 ohm plus it is ..would that be 1.2 or can you get a 1ohm would you know ?
another question can you alter the wattage or is fixed (i only used a box mod up to moment so can alter wattage etc)

a real big thx for your help much appreciated

cheers russ

With the 10Watt kick in you'll be somewhat limited in your choice of coils. An Aerotank Mega is much better above these 10 Watts so are you willing and knowledgeable enough to run without the kick?

Best head for the combo (without kick) would be a 1.4ohm unicoil but you'll have to be confident at checking for, and dealing with shorts. You'll also need to learn how to rewick the head if you can't already. There's plenty of peeps here can help with that.

The above is only MY opinion, it's what I'd do with that kit

[banditruss]

thx ripshod ...i dont even know what the kick does lol..but willing to have ago ..so still use the areo but with the unicoil in it,and the kick section removed ,i need to learn how to rewick anyway due to the dripper and kayfun i just got
i thought it was best to go low ohms therefore the 1ohm coil in the areo excuse my ignorance but i thought lower ohm was better than higher ie the 1.4 ?, thats why i got rid of my mvp20 running 1.2 to my ivp mini 2 70w running 0.5 ......did i mess up!!!!
thx for help

If you take the kick out, you can also use the next size up battery.

[Ripshod]

The lower the ohms the higher the power (watts) when talking mech mods, so long as the wicking can deliver the juice. An Aerotank would be sweet at 1.4, no real need to take that any lower.

The problem you'll have when you go lower is the limits of the battery you're using. 18350s have a low mAh, but they are also somewhat puny when it comes to sub-ohm vaping - many of them you can't sub-ohm at all. If you can find the specs of your battery (true specs not vendor specs) you can work out how low you can go (ohms=volts/amps). Add about 25% to the resulting ohms for a little safety. What battery(s) are you wanting to use?

I really don't expect you to be able to go anything lower than 0.8ohms with the dripper - depends, like I said, on the battery.

Great catch markm. An 18500 would be a much better option

[banditruss]

lol nice one markm that was my first thought but my 18650 didnt fit ....but the 18500 good idea

ripshod thx for help ideally id have liked to use the 18350 efest 800mah 3.7v as i got 3 with the unit ..... (so best unit for that set up or different if i put in 18500)?
the dripper i can run off my ivp mini2 70w (18650 efest 2500mah 3.7v) so i dont know what i could do with that (the unit shows ohms and volts)

thanks very much for the input guys

[markm]

TBH a 10w kick is out of date for any recent coils. They
Were invented in the days when 2-2.4 ohms were considered standard.
The idea was for it to boost the voltage on these higher resistances.
On a more recent low ohm coil, to get it to run at 10w would require it
To reduce the volts, which it can't do.
For instance, a 1ohm coil, receiving a fresh off the charger 4.2 volts, will be
Running at about 17W. In this scenario the kick is just taking up space in the tube.

[banditruss]

ahh ...so best to get rid of kick replace with 18500 1100mah battery or they do a 18500 1000mah 15a high drain battery which would be best for which coil ?
cheers

also noticed if i stuck with a kangertech coil (can get locally) they only do .8,1,1.2,1.5,1.8
