So I ordered a pack of the new kanger .2 vertical occ coils from sweet vapes as soon as they were available. Just tried one on Friday and wow, what were they thinking? Wattage recommendations on the side of the coil show 25-80 watts. Construction looks the same other than slightly larger juice holes and a thicker gauge wire inside.
Placed inside my Subtank mini and primed with a high vg juice. Starting at a low wattage to break it in. Not much vapor till about 30-35 watts. Vapes like crap until about 55 watts. Coil spits and pops like a maniac, floods like 1800's northern Holland, and tastes like crap. Kanger coils never have needed a break in to taste good but these apparently do. For a decent vape I would have to run it around 60-65 watts. It runs wayyyyy too hot at that point and no way it could get to 80.
To top all this off it fluctuates to below .15ohms during use at which point it can't be run on my d2 or Istick 100w. Say nothing of the fact that even if it held at .2 it still couldn't be run on my Subox mini or nano. Seems like kanger just wanted to be able to say they had a higher wattage coil.
Anyone else had different results? I got 4 more and may try another with the hopes that the first was a dud.
