Earthling789 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I still have more than a dozen coils for my Kanger tanks (different resistance, singles, and duals), but I have four or fewer of any single form/resistance left. So, right now I'm trying to narrow down what to buy in bulk, before I run out, which will keep me happy, AND keep me from having to keep up with 4-5 different coils. Right now, I'm liking the 1.8 Ohm single coils, and the 2.2 Ohm aren't bad at all, but use my battery faster because I have to run higher Wattage for them. I saw no advantage with the 2.5 Ohm coil, and haven't tried the 1.5 Ohm coils. So, I'm thinking 1.8 Ohm will be my choice for a single-coil.... For my dual coils... the 1.5 Ohm are better on battery life (and work better with my PT3 Minis on an eGo), but the the 2.0 Ohm seem to give a slightly better vape with my AeroTank, despite higher drain on the battery? (I've not tried 1.8 Ohm duals). Now, I understand that I can use the single-coil in my AeroTank, right? Can I use a single-coil in my PT3 minis? I've not tried it yet... didn't want to risk catastrophic leakage I have no issues with keeping up with single/dual coils, but I don't feel it necessary to try to keep up with a box of each resistance AND each form-factor. I primarily use my larger tanks (KPT2/AeroTank) with my MVP 2.0, and my Mini KPT2's and KPT3's with my eGo-style batteries for portability / form-factor. So, If I can use single-coils with my PT3 Minis, I think I'll be satisfied with running 1.8 Ohm single-coils in all my tanks. If I have to use dual-coils with the PT3 Mini, that's cool, too. I'll just keep a box or two 1.5 Ohm dual-coils on hand? Is my logic sound? Is there an advantage to using a 2.2 Ohm single over the 1.8 Ohm that I'm missing? Or should I just stock-up on the 1.8 Ohm singles (and 1.5 Ohm duals, if I can't use singles in the PT3 Mini)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I only use 1.8 ohm single coils and love em. I order them 10 boxes of 5 at a time and just stay stocked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that was my plan... a box of 50 from online vendors range from 60-90-cents each, whereas my local B&M sells them for $12 + tax for a box of FIVE (which is $120 for 50 coils) So, can I use the single-coils in the PT3 Mini? Or, will I need to keep a few dual-coils around, too? Edited May 22, 2014 by Earthling789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I pay $1.19 each for them regardless of how many I order unless I find a co-op to get in on. I don't really bargain shop because I have a vendor I trust and am really loyal to them. I do not mind paying a fraction more to feel 100% comfortable I am getting genuine products and quick cheap shipping. That said, I will never pay B&M prices unless I am someday forced to and if that day is coming, I will order every 1.8 ohm KPT coil in the US if I can LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 1.8's are ideal for me for flavor and vapor production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The VTR runs a little hot, so i use 2.2s, and 1.8s for other devices.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Good to know on the VTR... I don't have one yet, but plan to get one in a few months (maybe/hopefully). Based on this info, I think it would be a good idea to hang onto my remaining 2.2 Ohm coils, at least until I start building my own. BTW, I just test-fit a single-coil with my freshly cleaned PT3 Mini... it does NOT work . The silicone "cap" over the wick/coil is too short to reach/seal the center-tube... would be a leakage disaster had I filled it.... So, looks like I'll need to keep a box or two of 1.5 Ohm dual-coils handy for my PT3 Minis! Thanks for all the input, everyone... I'll be placing an order for 1.8 Ohm single-coils, and 1.5 Ohm dual-coils, within the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabird62 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Running 1.8 on my Nautilus and 2.0 on the AeroTank and PT3. Dual coils. All seem to be working well now that I'm getting the hang of things. At first, I was flooding and frying coils on occasion but have worked the kinks out of how I "operate" them. All is good now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn another silicone cap upside down over the one there they wont leak Ive done it with my T3D and pro tank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Funny, I don't have the problem of my VTR getting hot and I use 1.8 ohm single coils in a KPT2. Just what are you doing to it, Troy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 It doesn't get hot...it runs hot..compared to other APVs it's works a little stronger ie: hotter on the same settings check out Psbardos review.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 What battery are you using in it (brand/mAh/single or stacked)? That could be you're getting such good output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Doubtful, I have way too many 18650s many makes and mahs, even a few vtc4s and 5s..Stacking is for idiots and I don't like to be insulted like that... I'd rather it be a strong workhorse like it is compared to others. Edited May 23, 2014 by Aquatroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well, it's good to know that it is a workhorse, regardless of the 18650 battery you're using... And, sorry Troy, I didn't mean to insult you, nor imply you were stacking ... I was only asking for clarification, and mostly interested in the brand / mAh you were using in your VTR. As I plan to get one soon, knowing which battery performs well would be a good piece of info to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I use Panasonic 18650s in mine, 3400 mAh. Single, NO STACKING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) I use efests, Sanyos, Panasonics, and Sonys, they all work just fine, just seems the VTR is tuned in well?. And don't let me catch you stacking!!! Edited May 23, 2014 by Aquatroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
