I have been vaping for more than 3 years now. I'm not sure where you've found the 2-15ohm information on coils, but for most people that vape, including myself, sub-ohm vaping is the way to go these days. This pretty much includes coils of around 0.4ohm-0.8ohm. Also it is important to mention the difference between the non-regulated (so called "mech" / "mechanical") mods and regulated mods. The mechanical ones are pretty much like a basic circuit with a 18650 battery and a coil, when you press the switch, the circuit closes and the current heats up the coil...these are however dangerous as in the event of a short circuit the battery will heat up rapidly and might even blow up (this unfortunately happens to inexperienced users and brings bad publicity to these life-saving devices!). On the other hand, regulated ones both have the protection circuit in place (reverse polarity protection, short circuit, overcurrent, etc) and allow the user to apply specific wattage or voltage to the coil (referred to as VV/VW - Variable Voltage/Wattage), thus influencing the vapor production, taste, temperature. There is also a thing called TC (temperature control) which allows the user to apply specific temperature to the coil, thus allowing tight regulation of flavor and preventing the possible emission of formaldehyde by not overheating the e-liquid or causing dry burns on the cotton wick in the coil.
All in all, I think you could design a regulated mod with nixies to display variable voltage / wattage setting. Of course, keep in mind that these devices need to be able to fit in our palm and will be exposed to constant movement which is sometimes a challenge for nixies' lifespan :) Dana četvrtak, 19. listopada 2017. u 17:39:45 UTC+2, korisnik Paul Parry napisao je: > > Hi All, > > I've been asked if I can make a Vape machine with a little 2 digit IN-17 > volt display built in.
