Uhhh bit confused...

I think rule of thumb is the higher the ohm reading of the coil, the lower wattage setting you need to go on your mod. With a 1ohm coil at 75watts you might need a new set of lungs I've occasionally swapped atties and forgot to change the wattage......... quite often going from atlantis tanks to nautilus, and a 1.8ohm nautilus coil at 30+watts is no laughing matter....... not for me anyway lol

I'm so pleased that I'm not the only one that does that, my usual was taking a dripper off and putting a subtank on in the morning.
 The 70w intended for a dual clapton is not appreciated when it fires the tiny coil in an RBA.
Much more carefull now as  I've pretty much gone over to TC and only have kanthal coils in drippers, really don't fancy a hit of hot nickel or titanium.

Yeah, its a right bugger aint it lol

Uhmmm, sorry slightly off topic, but only just noticed.. All this new legislation that's coming in.. 2016? What the hell

The resistance should be etched on the coil head.

0.25 is for mouth to lung, 0.20 is for direct lung inhale

higher resistace coil will take more power to heat.

70w time will be limited by what your 18650 battery can supply

Thankyou so much for that. Tbh I tried 75w and it just tasted burnt unless I turned the temp down.. Mouth to lung? no thank you, Ill stick to my 0.2 haha, they do sell some CL 1.0 ohm coils that say they are for higher power, would that be better for 75w? its weird, before I upgraded the firmware, 20-30w seemed to produce hardly any vapour, but now at 20-30 it seems as if it is on 60w on the previous firmware

Thank again

And I thought that (About the 0.5 difference) funny though, obviously does make a difference x

when using nickel wire coils DONT vape in V/Watt mode, thats a sure way to get a dry hit or worse a toxic hit when the metal burns.  Nickel wire is ment for temp control or limiting vaping. 


the resistance of nickel wire changes predictably with temperature and its this property which is exploited by temp control mods
but if you vape with a set wattage with nickel wire as it heats up and the resistance increases the power you apply just heats up the wire more and can burn it out at which point you could vape nasty comounds you doint want to, not as bad as TI wire but not nice all the same 

500F ???  have u done a cotton burn/singe test to verify thats the temp that starts to singe the cotton with your mod? if not that might be a tad on the high side, the whole point of TC vaping is to set a coil temp limit that will ensure that when the juice runs out the coil wont heat upto a point to singe or burn the cotton and give you that horrible dry hit.

the reason you may wish to do a singe test is to verify your mod is operating as expected, thing is the logic applied on the mod chip is 'best guestimate' and the electrical connections between the board and your coil ( solder points and mechanical connections like the 510 and screws securing the coil, can all add a margin of error..  so while dry cotton will singe/burn @ circa 220C (?430F)  it may be 200c on your mod or 180C? or another value..  the burn singe test will verify that, and then you should set the temp to the setting 1 step lower and then vape with confidence

the singe test is simple get an atty with a rebuildable deck fit a nickel coil and thread a length of cotton wick thru it and then set the mod to vape at say 180C fire it and pull the cotton thru a bit and see if its brown or singed, if not step up the temp by 1 step fire again etc until u hit the temp that burns on your mod..  not so easy to do with off the shelf coils tho .. So I would suggest you start vaping at lower temps and step up the temp gradually till your getting a full flavour vape and then stick at that temp..

hope thats useful and clear..

happy vaping..

That's a lot of amazing info, but I'm sure its irelevant, I vape it in Temp Ni mode which I was under the impression if you're in that you can mess around with the settings however you want, no?


Sorry tha tsounded really rude of me, I was in the heat of an argument then.

Are you thinking that I am vaping in bypass mode? If so mate I got no idea where you got that from, I set the watt I want and it stays at that, I tried bypass once by accident, it was horrific and quite honestly don't understand why it exists lol x
