Bebop Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Ok. Here's my next question - is this technology too new to invest in at this time? Has anyone used it and what can you tell me about coil life and performance? texassmokes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixter Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 One thing I can tell you is that when using nickel wire (required for TC), you can build your coil according to the space you have to build in and not worry so much about hitting a target resistance like you have to do with Kanthal A1. texassmokes and Bebop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) TC batts need special coils with nickel wire? Edited April 14, 2015 by cany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixter Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just as in other mods, it depends on the wattage you're vaping at...I'd use high amp batts in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rixter Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 You can use Kanthal A1 or Nichrome if you want to, but TC won't work with those. In order to take advantage of temperature limiting, you have to use Nickel wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they SubTank coils are produced and I am sure many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rixter Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm sure that all the major manufacturers will be making nickel coil heads in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonculp Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I want a TC mod so bad that I can hardly stand it. I have gutted a Cloupor mini and I am designing a fixture to transplant a DNA-25 or DNA-40 into it, I just have not finished. I am hoping my work schedule gets a bit more managable soon so I can get back to my hobby! Rixter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rixter Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I want a TC mod so bad that I can hardly stand it. I've been wanting one for a while now but the prices have been out of my budget until this one. I was ready to save up $189 for a Vaporshark RDNA but now I don't have to.

I was ready to save up $189 for a Vaporshark RDNA but now I don't have to. I was doing the same thing, but I will never make it. Too many things are half the price, that I want more. I have always wanted to build a mod and thought this would be a good excuse. I don't know if I will ever get it done. I am sure I will end up buying one at lower prices too.

No exactly, most will wrap for about ~ 0.16, Seems they should be < 1.0Ω Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixter Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just going by what Phil Busardo said in one of his videos about TC. Since Ni200 carries such a low resistance, it's not such a task to find the right number of wraps to stay in the specified range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Can this heapvape mini 50 be used with out of the box stock (coils)? Yes and that's the beauty of it. I think the range is 1 - 40 watts and .16 ohms and up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oops. I should have added that you can't take advantage of the temp control with a standard kanthal coil, but it will fire them. I'm really interested in this product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Here's a pretty good vid on building a basic nickel coil. Interesting it takes 12 wraps of 28 ga on a 2.5mm spindle to achieve .18 nominal resistance. Surprisingly low. In order for TC to work your build must be under 1 Ohm.
