Why do NR-R-NR in CE2 type setups?
It's all about heat dissipation. We all know about "Hot Legs" (HL) and "Hot Spots" (HS) right? They are the bane of our builds. Will get you metallic taste, poor VTF* and nil or low vape satisfaction.
In a regular SRTAº the coil rests in close proximity to the terminals (+/- posts), thus HL & HS are avoided. However, in a CE2÷ type rba the coil is distant from the terminals... the legs are stretched, which produces two hassles - (#1)HL/HS obviously and (#2)the 'heat' runs beyond the actual coil towards the terminals, along the length of the wires.
This #2 is the dogma. Which further does two things - (a)renders wastage, as the 'heat' is everywhere without tactfully remaining in the coils and (b)effects the ceramic and the Delrin insulators, which might melt/break/weaken.
The aforesaid twin snags can only be avoided by keeping the heating element within the periphery of the coil - thus the use of a 'resistance' (R) wire. And the legs remain inert by using a 'non-resistance' (NR) wire.
BOTTOMLINE: Pls don't do a straight "R" build in these RBAs.
