Hiya. I don't know if this is the right sub-forum to post this, but it seems the right one.
So I got a Kanger subtank and a Kbox. The Kbox is good for mobile vaping, but I'm looking for a solution for home, AC powered vaping. I spend my time mostly in my office, so I feel that rotating batteries is kinda redundant (considering there are AC plugs next to me).
So I'm thinking of building an AC powered setup that can fire a sub-ohm (0.5ohms). My questions are:
- What's the rating of voltage and current that can fire a 0.5ohms coil normally? I don't need a lot of smoke. On my Kbox, I'm happy in between 8-20W. Let's just take the middle ground, 15W. I need to know the voltage and current rating needed, to find the right PSU. Will a 5V PSU work?
- I'm a little sketchy on ohm's law implementation on this project. In the PSU part, say I want a 15W output. A 5V would need 3A of current, and a 10V would need 1.5A of current. So the higher the voltage, the lower the current needed, for the same wattage. Now in the OCC part, 5V and 0.5ohms would need 10A, and 10V would need 20A. So in the OCC part, the higher the voltage, the higher the current needed. Which one should I follow? Logic says I should go with the OCC, so I'd need a 5V 10A PSU or a 10V 20A PSU (and so on). Or did I get it wrong?
- On my sketchboard (in my mind), I'd need the PSU, a 510 connector, a push button, and an enclosure. What else do I need? Do I need some kind of protection? A resistor or fuse?
- I'm happy with a working, single rating system, but let's just say I want to make it a VV system. I'd need a potentiometer and a voltage meter, right? What rating of the PSU should I use if I want to go VV?
Thank you in advance.
