hey, i've got those things, brand new lemo rta, vamo v5 apv 3-15watt vw, 28g kanthal and cotton balls

anyone suggest a solid coil build? was playing around today but didnt come up with anything satisfying.
aiming at 1.4-1.8ohm coil. those ones i tried todsy were my first ever! using this (weak ...!!) vamo v5 i have been using with my genitank from kangertech until my copper penny mod clone from fasttech comes (eta 12/18)

thanks in advance coil building xperts for your help !!
i obviously searched builds, and played around with steam-engine, but i'd rather someone help me with my specific needs so i'm not over looking anything :))

anyone? x.x -

it's probably that my vamo fails at reading resistance (although it reads 1.7 or 1.8 for each my factory kangertech coils; but steam-powered.com is giving me pretty far off answers on my coil building. obviously need an ohmmeter :)

well got a nice coil in there now. vamo reads it at 1.5ohms; 28g, 7wrap, 2mm ID
steam-powered tells me for target resistance 1.4ohm, do 9wraps w/ 28g and 2mm ID...
i have all input right, 28g, 2mm ID, 7mm legs (bit of an overestimate, but i dont have a good way to measure, so maybe not and maybe why steam-powered seems to be trolling me). weird;

anyway coil gives about 1.75x vapor my kangertech factory coils give, more flavor (which is a bit obnoxious with this 80/20 pg/vg black ice from mt baker vapors). no leaks whatsoever !!! I can't wait to rewick this with 85%vg/15%flavoring catepiller e juice "off with her head" (green jolly rancher). has so much potential but the genitank from kangertech gives no flavor besides menthols. i'm not sure how kangertech completely neglected the flavor aspect, but ... it sucks!

anyway, i can't wait to make some real clouds when my copper penny clone mod arrives and i pick up some vtc4s. so far love the Lemo! and love rebuildables in general i think. next purchase, i think, will be a mutation v2
