I got enough Ni200 to last me ages, whats its resistance?

[conanthewarrior]

Hi people. As you probably know, I have recently acquired the sig 75, which I am more impressed with than I thought. I got some NI200 to try this new temperature control, see how I like it, but I am not sure how resistant it is.

I do use calculators due to my brain damage to be safe, I would more than likely mis calculate.

I can not see it listed on the steam engine calculators, what is its resistance similar too? I will probably make a build and test it on the Ohm reader first, to get a rough Idea.

There was an option for Nickel 200, but it can surely not be that as to make a 1.8 ohm coil it was ONE HUNDRED AND 33 wraps! So I am guessing it is not that. Even a sub ohm super low build needed 17 or so wraps with this wire, so I am not sure it is that If I am honest.

Ni200 is completely different the kanthal the bigger guage the less resistance so 24 guage will have less the 30. 28 g takes 10 wraps dual coil on a 3mm screwdriver to get .08 ohms approx but ut wrap spacing will also make so more or less ohms a contact coil will be approx half the ohms of a spaced coil in other words yes it takes a shit ton of wraps

Thanks man, I knew it had a different resistance, that was kind of the point of my whole question lol. .

well, the 26 Gauge is basically unsuseable to me, as its too low, and 17 wraps of 30 gauge around a 3MM driver game me around 0.25 Ohms. I actually think I may need to buy 32 gauge if I want to make a dual coil RDA, as otherwise it will be stupid, at least 30 wraps a coil.

What alternative is there to Ni200 to use in my TC device with more resistance, or do I have to use NI200 just a thinner gauge?

On the steam engine calculator it lis listed as nickel 200, and yes, a 1.8 ohm coil at 30 gauge really would need 133 wraps around a 2MM driver.

Edit: With some tweaking and straightening, the coil is now 0.4 Ohms.

Depends on ur mod there titanium grade 1 and I heard there's a silver wire

Its the new Sigelei 75, which on power mode is PERFECT for me, if this temperature control works correctly aswel, I think It may be my favourite device, out of my 30Watt mini, 75W, and 150, all sigelei.

Ahh Ya that's right I read that at 3 Lol, I think it'll run ti in tc but not 100% sure

Resistance of NI200 coils are going to be much less than your kanthal coils. The Sig 75 will fire down to 0.05 in TC mode based on some quick googling. TC uses a different method of regulation - not just watts but temp as well - so your battery drain calculator may not be useful when operating in TC mode. Stock premade NI200 coils for various tanks seem to run mostly between 0.15 and 0.3. Likely someone that uses TC regularly will chime in on this but I don't think trying to achieve the same sorts of resistance as non-TC coils is necessary.

You shouldn't even bother trying to achieve the same kind of resistance that you would with Kanthal. The TC setting works very differently and you only need to build a coil that falls within those parameters. For my IPV3 Li I build a dual coil set up with 0.1 ohm resistance for TC mode and it worked like a dream. Anything over that 0.05 that your mod can handle will be fine. I've seen others call Ni200 no resistance wire before and it's fairly accurate. You'd need an insane number of wraps to achieve the resistances you are used to. I did 14 wraps at 3mm per coil with 28ga to achieve 0.1 ohm reading I believe.

Also do not dry fire it after you build your coils. Basically don't treat it like Kanthal at all. Build your coils as neat and tidy as you can, install them, then wick it up. Make sure you're in TC mode and vape on.
