As far as safety goes, anything below 600F is perfectly safe as far as the nickel is concerned. In an open air environment a fully saturated wick won't burn below 525F, but inside a chimney with restricted airflow that temperature will be lower. Completely Average, Jul 24, 2015

What ohm should my vape coil be at?
Generally 1.5 ohm is going to put you around 11-14 watts. Your 15 watts might be just a touch warm. I vape coils from .6 ohm to 2 ohms on a Kayfun. Heat Flux is a function of wire size, coil diameter, wire type, number of wraps, and voltage. I usually vape at 15 watts and below, mostly around 10 watts.
What temperature should you set your vape to?
Common vaping temperatures are in the range 390°F to 480°F (200°C to 250°C ), with the temperature usually adjusted quickly in increments of 10°F (5°C). Set your target temperature. Hopefully, you’ll get a good vape and, because it’s TC, you should be able to take really long hits without fear of overheating the coil and wick.
What is the best temperature control coil for vaping?
SS can be used in wattage or temperature control mode. Nickel 200: commonly known as ni200, it was the first temperature control coil but it’s less common now due to some vapers having sensitivities to nickel. Titanium Grade 1: otherwise known as Ti. It works well in TC but the user has to make sure it does not get overheated.
What is it like to vape sub ohm?
Also vapers have discovered that by twisting two or more types of wire together they can create complex coils like 'twisted', 'claptons', 'fused claptons' and 'alien claptons' which in terms give an even better flavor. Sub ohm vaping can be very rewarding, but at the same time it has a few downsides.

Okay, I'm new to temperature control and have a few questions I'm hoping you fine people can help me with! I've looked around, learned some stuff, but still a tad lost. I've been looking around here for similar posts and questions but still am confused:

That is why we use nickel with temp control devices, to avoid high temps. The dangers you mentioned with nickel don't happen under 600F, from what I understand, but I am no metallurgist. With the M80, I really don't know what temp would be safe, from my understanding it is a wildly inaccurate device.

We use nickel for temperature control builds because nickel has significantly increases resistance as it's heated up, and since the resistance changes are a constant it's easy to make a simple table to calculate the temperature based on the amount of resistance change.
What is an ohm in vaping?
What is an Ohm. First of all, ohms represent a unit of measurement for resistance, and when it comes to vaping they translate to how difficult is for the electrical current from the battery to pass through the heating coil. The lower the resistance, the faster a coil heats up to a certain temperature and controlling this value is key in delivering ...
Is sub ohm vaping good?
Sub ohm vaping can be very rewarding, but at the same time it has a few downsides. The first is that it's mostly suitable for direct lung inhales, which is a style of vaping not that familiar to smokers or beginners. In order to fully enjoy the big clouds you need to draw the vapor straight into the lungs, which requires a very airy draw on the tank or atomizer.
What is vape gear?
Vape gear, like vape pens and counter-top vaporizers, operates at much lower temperatures than your typical open flame. In fact, some vaporizers allow you to dial in exactly the temperature you want. This prevents the cannabinoids you need from literally going up in smoke.
What temperature does a BIC burn?
When you light a match or flick your Bic, the flame produced is, at minimum, 600 ℉. That’s hot! So hot, in fact, that it’s actually destroying a portion of the cannabinoids in your pot. That’s bad! A normal flame can do so much damage because most cannabinoids begin to boil at half (or even a third) of that 600 ℉.
Which is better, 1.5 or 5 ohm coils?
the 1.5 ohm coils will be better on battery life and juice consumption compared to the . 5 ohm because you will vape at lower wattage ti acheieve similar results... for MTL above 1 ohm is generally considered a better vape than sub ohm because it is a cooler vape when you restrict the airflow to more closely mimick a cigarette...
Is vaping a cigarette?
That is both the neat thing and the frustrating thing about vaping. Unlike cigarettes, where a cigarette is a cigarette is a cigarette, and, for the most part, one cigarette pretty much draws like any other: Different combinations of mod, tank, coil and e-juice can, and will, produce widely-varying results.
How many watts does a 1.5 ohm coil use?
There are many variables. The material of the coil, the size of the chamber, amount of airflow among others. Generally 1.5 ohm is going to put you around 11-14 watts. Your 15 watts might be just a touch warm.
Is there a minimum wattage for a RTA?
There Really isn't a Minimum Wattage for Any Tank or RTA. Only what the Minimum is that You Like. I don't have that particular Tank. But there is Kinda a Rule that Applies to ALL Tanks. "Start at a Low Wattage and work your way Slowly Up.". You'll know when the Hit starts to get Too Hot. And or Starts to Taste Burnt.
Before Temperature Control
Years before TC ( Temperature Control) technology was a thing, vaping was all about voltage and wattage. Then came variable voltage and wattage, and people began to think in terms of lower ohms, then lower ohms and higher wattage, and so on. All coils, whether they reside in a coil head or used in an RBA or RDA, were always made with Kanthal wire.
Temperature Control to The Rescue
Temperature Control Technology fixes that problem…as long as you use it properly. Once you’re using it like you should you’ll never have to worry about dry hits again… with an added bonus of using less e-liquid and enjoying a longer battery life.
Keeping It Healthy
If you are ever worried about any harmful compounds and chemicals that your e-liquid may contain, such as DA/AP/BA, using a Temperature Control Mod can help.
