New to dripping

Recently sold my provari and bought the Carapace and TOBH atty. I like a cooler vape but still wish to blow decent clouds. I have 28 gauge kanthal but no ohms reader. Around what type of resistance would give me a cooler vape? And how many wraps on say...a toothpick?

You really need an ohm reader that reads to the third digit when rebuilding along with an IMR battery rated high enough for the builds you are doing and might do.

For a cooler vape make sure your coils are lined up perfectly leveled and behind your airflow holes,

Ohm's law | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Here are some tools, but you still need an ohm reader, since ohms can change with slight movement and placement of coils and how tight or loose and spread out they are made.

Buy an ohms reader or digital multi meter first! If you haven't, learn ohms law. Learn how to spot a short. With no ohms reader you could be drawing too many amps from the battery and it could blow up! Do you know your battery continuous discharge rate?

Please respond to the above!!!

After ALL of the above: at 28g, maybe 1.5ohm should be ok.

I always use single coil, around 1.5-2ohms. With a single coil, you may want to try putting some tape over the opposite 3 air holes, blocking them. And only using the 3 air holes in front of the coil.

Lifting the coil up to the same level or above of the air holes will help.

There are far more important things to do before you ask about clouds.

I know haha. I spent all my money on this mod and before, my provari served as my ohms reader !

I do not. I use a Sony 18650

A digital multi meter can be found at any hardware store, and they're not that expensive. Youtube has some good videos on how to use a DMM with a Mech.

Search youtube for, 'Mechanical Mod Safety,' or something similar.

I'm currently on holiday, and don't have the time to find it here today, but you need to find the continuous discharge rate, apply ohms law and make sure your coil is pulling well under your battery amp limit.

'baditude' here has some great blogs that explain everything.
