On the coils, it all depends on the type of vape you enjoy. I am not really familiar with the Kanger's Clapton Coil, but most Clapton's require more wattage are a bit slower to heat up and stay hotter longer. They seem to produce a bit more flavor than "standard" coils. Normally if you are a direct lung inhaler the .5 ohm coils work best, and if you are a mouth to lung hitter you will probably like the 1.2 ohm coils better. From what I am reading the Clapton, and SSOCC (stainless steel organic cotton) coils are actually use Kanthal or NiChrome wire which are best used in Power Mode/Wattage. While the Ni200 are only to be used with Temp Control. My advice is to stick with the Power Mode for a bit, until you get used to your mod, then try the Ni200 and Temp Control when you get accustom to the mod/tank. Only you can figure out the best numbers to use with your personal preferences, your tank, and your juice. I start with my favorite juice, prime up a new coil, fill the tank, let it sit for a while, make a few pulls with the air slots closed not firing the mod, then set it at about 15 - 20 watts and try it. I go up until it gets where I like it. If it tastes burnt, turn it down. As for what you really have to pay attention to on the coils, only that you are using the correct coil in the correct mode. They will all work great on that mod. @VaporTron pretty much nailed the battery end of things. With this type of mod, you coil has no relation to battery safety, only the Wattage you have it set at. I personally don't recommend anyone going over 50 watts or so with a single 18650 mod unless you take a lot of precautions, such as buying special batteries, and a lot of them. At 75Watts (maximum) ÷ 3.4V (normal low battery cut out) = 22.05 +10% for efficiency of the mod 24.26Amps so you would need a good 25 - 30 amp battery. Please don't believe the wrappers that people put on batteries, there are very few that can actually handle 30 Amps and they do it at a cost of capacity (they don't stay charged as long) True 30A batteries are the LG HB2, HB4, and HB6. Just under these would be the Sony VTC4. With the Subtank Mini line of tanks you probably will not be able to use more than 50 watts. At 50 watts you are only looking at 16 Amps battery draw. This really opens up your battery choices. The batteries I recommend that will work great in my personal favorite order is: Samsung 30Q, LG HG2, Samsung 25R, LG HE4 or LG HE2. Please feel free to come back and ask questions, if you have any!

I didn't figure on using a ssocc coil that I have so I dismantled it. After cutting off the leads that were attached to it I ended up with 82mm of 0.40mm wire (26 gauge) I installed it in a Kanger RBA (1 big loop) put it on 75w TC mod in watt mode. I got a 0.52 reading. which closely matches what 317L would be. Nichrome would be about 0.7 SS304 would be about 0.45 and 316L would be about 0.47 So my unscientific study leads me to believe it is probably 317L or possibly 316L It is non magnetic so it can't be SS430. 0

According to Sweet Vapes they are Nichrome, but other sites say they are SS, Kanger online say they are SS Vape NW hints at them being SS, Kanger doesn't respond to e-mails, My guess is 304 SS. Kanthal is magnetic, but Nichrome is not, so using a magnet to check them won't work. The only way to know is to measure the diameter, and check the ohms to see what the best match would be.

No problem. I hope the help works out well for you. And, with that, it's time for bed.

This link might help a little. Other batteries have an indicator to show how much charge it has, these pen/stick batteries, unfortunately, don't. https://www.vapour-room.com/faqs/showfaq.asp?id=61

When is the last time you charged the battery? They generally come 3/4 charged but not always. I'd let it charge for a couple of hours then see if that doesn't take care of the problem.

It might not be the battery. Have you tried changing to a whole new coil?

Well, dang. Try rinsing the coil under very hot water, soak it until the water turns cool and then let dry overnight. That should help better than nothing.

I mix my own juice and the only difference basically is the flavor and have noticed that some gunk it up more than others. When I use a flavor that gunk's up the coil fast I add a few drops of water to it and it seems to help some.

There is no reason to worry about Ohm's law, unless you are using a mechanical mod, electronic (variable wattage) mods will do the calculations for you. As long as you are using a quality battery and don't try to exceed the batteries continuous discharge rate you should be fine. On your mod the what you do want to stay concerned with is the quality of the batteries. Personally I don't like going over 50 watts per good 20A battery. So if you use 2 good 25R's, or similar battery I would stay under the 100 - 110 watt range. The calculation you use is 160 (max wattage) / 6.4 (the approximate low cutoff volatage of 2 18650's in a series) = 25 Amps + 10% for board inside the mod = 27.5A for each battery. If you were going to use it to it's full wattage you would need to have TRUE 30A batteries in it. This would narrow you down to the LG HB2, HB4, and HB6 or possibly a Sony VTC 4. Since you are using it at less than 30 watts you will be fine with any good 15a - 20A battery. (30W/6.2V*1.1=5.16Amps) As for what settings to run, only you can figure that out. There are no right settings. The only thing you can do is start low and work yourself up until either you are getting the vape you want, or it is starting to taste burnt. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
