Ni200 0.15 ohm coil: temperature and wattage question

[federete]

Hi there,

Usually I vape on ijoy 5s RDTA tanks (love them) but now I decided to try temperature control for the first time with my uwell crown and a Ni200 0.15 ohm coil. I am using a tesla 200W WYE mod (had issues with it, would not recommend it). The thing is I don't understand well how all this T control thing work. If I am setting a given temperature, why would I modify the wattage? (not good at Physics). My other question is that I read most people use 50-70W and 400-500ºF but I tried that and found it too cool, with only modest clouds, not a warm vape as I am used to. Should I go to higher temperatures or is that risky? Should I increase the wattage? That seemed to make no effect

Thanks!
Federico

I used those same coils in a crown tank years ago. The wattage is the ramp up of how fast you get to the desired temp. I ran about 40 watts and 500°..

Good luck with that.... If you like warm vape with tons of clouds TC ain't going to do it for you .... If you have to vape at 500 degrees and 80 watts on Temperature Control and still not hot enough then stay on wattage power mode..... Get a Yihi..... Amazing TC....

As long as you keep the coil wet... you can vape at any temp the mod can produce.....and use whatever wattage is required to achieve the desired Temp setting.

Now if you want big clouds from TC..... you probably won't get there using a factory made coil head.... as TC is more about flavor and consistency than big clouds. Gonna take some building trial and error to get super big clouds from the tank using TC. Clouds are about maximizing power usage. TC really more about minimizing power.

Many thanks for your answers, guys. I understand now!

Use boost or punch preheat to ramp up faster and then tc holds the temp to keep your coil at the temp you set. If 500 seems comfortable and you dial in watts to get there it will level at the set temp and only apply enough power to maintain that set point.

I don't understand why a bunch of the tanks from yesteryear used nickel coils. I mean if a person didn't know any better they would just use it in wattage mode. I have tanks that have Ni200 coils and I haven't put one in. They're like garbage to me because I don't trust nickel. Am I being too cautious and missing out by not using them nickel coils?

Not sure Frank. I believe there are a few ppl that are allergic to nickel so it fell from favor. Also the nickel is softer and doesn’t hold up as well. I don’t believe you’re missing something huge though.

Simple early TC devices couldn't regulate other wires.... harder to regulate wire with resistance like SS. SO TC STARTED with Ni200. Then Ti.... then just recently SS...

NI200 is safe enough if you dont get it hotter than about 800 degrees.. or red hot. Only time those temps are approached is when dry burning.
