Confused On Kanger Coils

Ok so I know that kanger subtank .5 ohm coils are good for up to like fifty watts and the subtank 1.2 coils are good for up to 26 watts, my question is this kanger has released vocc coils pretty much the same coils they have for the aero tank , genitank ,etc except now they have organic cotton like the subtank coils. Is it safe to think that the 1,2 and 1.5 ohm vocc coils will be safe as the 1.2 and 1.5 subtank coils at the 26 or so watt range, if not how many watts are safe so I don't burn them to hell  

My Current Wattage Settings, Mvp3.0

Just curious what wattage you guys are comfortable with. I just got my Itaste mvp3.0. I have the Kanger Subtank Nano with a .5 ohm occ. The mvp recommends 25-30 watts for that. But the coil itself says 15-30 watts. Kind of confusing. Anyway I keep mine between 15-20 watts. Anything more heats the tank up too much, like I can feel the heat on my lip.

I just picked up a Kanger Genitank Mega also, haven't tried it yet but it came with 1.8 coils, so I'll probably start at about 6-7 watts and go from there.

I love this thing, so far very happy with my purchase, hopefully it holds up for a long time. I guess just want to see if I'm doing everything safely.  

Help Selecting A New Tank?

Okay, so my partner and I have used the same Aspire Triton2 tanks for about 5 years now. They were never leak proof, but lately this problem has been getting worse and I am trying to see if the market has something better to offer. Other than the leaking problems, the Triton2 has been great. Here are some desired features that I hope to find in selecting a new rig: holds at least 3ml, long lasting coils that are affordable (around $3 ea), replaceable O rings would be nice, manufacturer that is not a fly-by-night, and hopefully leak-proof. Also I should note that I currently use 0.3ohm coils @ 38w and really have no need for very high wattage vapes.
If anyone knows of some tanks that fit the description above, I would be grateful for any suggestions on what to shop for.
Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Low Ohms Reading Coil/tank Question

GS Air coils/GS 3ml tanks.
I Googlefied this and Did see One place that said A worn out tank could make coils not last as long. (Sounds near fetched to me...)

Can an old tank start Causing premade coils to show Low ohms, like. 05 ohm?

I am pretty sure these are factory coils not FT copycats.

Ipv4 Tutorial

Hello everyone, I feel like I should post this in the Beginner's Thread. I bought an IPV4 today and it is my first temp control, non-built-in battery mod. I need help! LOL like with everything. I tell you my gear. The IPV4 of course, a Nitecore D2 charger, a pair of Imeren 18650 batteries, 5 Kanger OCC nickel coils and 2 .3 Atlantis coils. Along with an Atlantis V1 and pair of Kanger subtanks. Now I know, some of you are probably thinking people like me shouldn't have temp control but please humor me I want to learn.
Basically my first question is where do I start? How do I get to temp control on this mod? Where should I set it for these Nickel coils? Should I leave it at the same setting for regular coils? How do I get to joules? Where should I set those? Ok, let's just start with that. Is there a place online I can get a tutorial?
Sorry to be like a kid trying to learn to ride a bike, but as anyone that owns one of these things knows, the instructions don't say much. Thank you all for any help given, I know there are some real pros here.  

How Tell If Your Coils Are Duds?

Hi all,

I've recently decided to buy a Kanger Subtank Mini to test the waters out and see how it compares to the Aspire Atlantis. Unfortunately, my coils are only lasting me 6 hours at the most before the cotton is charred black and everything tastes burnt. I've heard about coils that are coming back as duds. What is a good way to tell if the coils I've bought are duds?

Thanks in advance!  

Air Flow And Coils.

I know a lot of people, particularly those using higher PG mixes, tend to use open airflows. However, coming only recently to vaping from long years of smoking I still pefer my draw to be a little tight. I very often find myself using the lowest possible airflow. I usually vape a 60/40 or 50/50 PG/VG ,mix. Now my question is - am I maltreating my coils, am I flooding them and shortening their life? I ask because I went through two coils in as many weeks on my Kanger Geni. They may have been born under a bad star and if that is the case I will take it. But if I am doing something wrong I would also like to know and be advised about it. Thanks.  

Rebuilding Kanger Heads , Help Please

I just Started rebuilding my kanger dual coils and im having a issue , seems like when i build them and check my ohms on my meter they are right where i want them but when i put them in my tank and fire them up the ohms fluxuate like crazy from low to high ohms, any idea why it happens ? It occurs even when i build single coils. Anyway to fix this? Thanks  

Average Life Of Kanger Temp Control Coils

Hey all. Just started using the Kanger occ ni200 nickel temp control coils a week ago. Been vaping the first one about 430 f 20-25 joules. Checked it tonight and the coil looks gunked up as well as the flavor lacking a bit. What kind of usage do you guys get out of these? I heard one person say 2 days?? How long do yours last?  

Ni 200 Coils

Everything that I have read so far says that you want to use spaced coils when working with Ni200. Will the coils not work as well if you use contact coils? I am asking because I have a Goblin RTA and it has a small build deck and Im not sure if I will be able to fit spaced coils in it (also, I have never made a spaced coil lol)


Thanks for your help guys!
