KwiqNiss Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have 26AWG pure ni200 non resistant wire. Is there a difference in ni200 and ni200 non-resistant?I have built 18 wraps dual coil build around a 4mm nail, with no gaps in coil. According to steam wirewizard, this should be .105 ohms resistance (since it's dual coil, I did 9 wraps single wire in the tool instead of 18 wraps. I saw similar results in wizard if I set 18 wraps and selected parallel wire). However, my dna200 reads it as .05 ohms resistance; half of what the wizard states it should be. Since the battery won't do more than 27 amps, I'm not sure this is safe since 80W at .05 ohms is 40 amps. I'd have to go to 35W to be safe, but then no vapor is produced.

VapingBad Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 It depends on the purity, it could be, Ni200 >= 99.6% nickel.That is 2 x 19 warp coils for 0.109 link and 0.05 would be 2 x 8.5 wrap coils linkThe DNA will not fire at too high current, but even though the batteries should be >= 23 A, the board can output up to 55 A from that safely as the voltages are different. The board converts both current and voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KwiqNiss Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 It's 100% ni200 from Master of Clouds, according to the label. (http://www.amazon.com/Ni200-Gauge-Nickel-Resistance-0-40mm/dp/B00R525L1E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450294569&sr=8-2&keywords=ni200)The batteries do 27A, and can do 54A in 3 second burst.

Spirometry Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Your wire seems fine to me, although I prefer 28 gauge tempered if i'm messing with nickel.Do you have two 9 wrap coils or two 18 wrap coils?The DNA200 can only draw 23 amps (max) from the batteries. You are confusing the input current and the output current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
