Well! Ello! Kinda got lazy but. here I am!
So today's build is gonna be a dual chimney build for the Fogger v4 (which btw is a ridiculously good rta for a solid price).
I love chimney builds, but wicking a dual chimney in a Aqua/Fogger v4 type atty always stumped me.
ANYWAYS. I haz it figured out finally and I love it. So here goes. 10 wraps of 28 gauge, around 5/64. Net resistance = 0.9 ohms. (using 11 wraps = 1.2 ohms. works every single time)
1) Make 2 identical coils and mount em on the the atty like so:
Always make sure coil and airholes are lined up
Side view to show the height of the coils. I suppose you could lower it to adjust for flavor/throat hit. I personally left the bottom of the coils flush with the top deck. Didnt wanna let it get too low and risk melting the insulator:
Fired up nice and even:
Wicking: 2 strands of cotton used. Each strand starts from a channel on one side, travels diagonally across the centre to the coil on the opposite side, wrapped around the outside of the coil, and back diagonally to the starting side's other juice channel.
Waaaay easier to mould the cotton when it's wet
This is how much cotton I have in the channel. The important thing is this: previously when I used the amount of cotton perfect for a 5/56 drill bit and shove the entire end down the channel, the wick always gets choked. This time what I did was to cut the end of the cotton wick to form a downward pointing V shape, and pushed that into the channel (halfway down)
With the chimney on
Results:
VAPES LIKE A }*|%\*]€| CHAMP. currently at 27 watts on my zna30. AFC at the largest and tbh the vapor is pretty ridiculous.
Issues:
1) took me 10x 2 seconds drag before the cotton broke in. Before it did, flavor and vapor production was worse than the crap blu ecigs put out. Then all of a sudden I got the nicest lung fill and it was heaven. I guess using boiled cotton would've cut short the break in period
