Just started making my own coils using 28g and cotton and am rolling 9/8 to get 1.24 ohms running dual coil to get .64 ohms get a decent cloud but to much throat hit what can I do
I used to sub ohm for a couple years, used nothing higher than 26g wire and only mech devices... then the high watt boxes came out and I jumped on them because i thought sub ohms was the only way to get best flavor and vapor at the same time.
Well I was wrong... ymmv, but like you I don't care for throat hit; just flavor and good vapor. I was getting occasional burnt hits too often as well.
I now use 30g wire and vape 1 to 2 ohms (single or dual coil) and rely on air flow and higher voltage to get the clouds (you need a good atomiser with at least 2mm air hole/s).
Thinner wire takes more wraps which give you more surface area on your coils (good for flavor) and takes less time to cool down.
Best to have a regulated mod that gives you more than 4v.
I usually use i.e. a 1.5 ohms coil or a 1 ohms dual (2 x 2ohms), and vape about 4.5 to 5.5v.
Another good thing is this setup uses less amp draw, which is better for battery life.
And oh yes... keep the nic % down...
