Sat 22 clone

[derogg]

Infinite Sat 22 clone is pretty nice. I've been playing with it for a couple days. This is my first genny. Stainless steel mesh wick. I used the mesh that came with the kit, so I'm not sure what size it is. The build quality of the atomizer is OK. My only complaints are that the o-rings that are in the center post were both split and the wick/fill holes were not machined very nice. Who ever was running the drill press that day used the oval drill bit . Vapor production and flavor are nice. I currently am using 32 gauge 3/4 wrap at 0.7 ohms at 15W. I think I found something that suits my vape style. Relaxed restricted draw with lots of flavor.

I am always looking for a new genny, thank for sharing your thoughts on this one. I might try and find one soon.

Is that 32 wire twisted or are you really vaping on a 1300 heatflux? I ask cause that 10x hotter than I vape at.

The wire I had used when I wrote that was some stuff I had in my equipment box so I'm not 100% positive what it was. But looking at it again I believe it's 30 gauge. It might be nichrome and not kanthal. I have since change to 28 gauge TEMCO kanthal.

I just got one of these too this past Friday from a local B&M. It's my 2nd Genny (I also have a Zenesis Atty) and the first time I gotten a Genny to work well. I followed an old YouTube by Igetcha69 and used a 30mm x 20mm piece of [HASHTAG]#400[/HASHTAG] mesh and wrapped it tightly around an 18ga blunt tip needle. Then I wrapped 4 turns of 32ga K1 Kanthal (Scott used 28ga @ 5 wraps) around it and installed it as a unit. Came in at 1.4 ohns and works great!

@93g; I tried it Scott's way first with 28ga and it was WAY too hot, came in at something like .8ohms. I had trouble with hot spots, it was too hot, couldn't get it to work at all. I went down to 32ga and it works well, but the whole atty gets so hot I have to put it down to cool. No shorts or hot spots, is that what you were saying about heat flux? What gauge wire do you use? I think maybe next build I'll use 30ga...

Heat Flux is a measurement of how hot a coil gets. I was thinking the Op was using single strand 32 that would be blazing hot. twisted 32 in his app would also be hottish, but vapeable.
Look at the Blogs by StateOFlux for a real explaination of Heatflux and heat capacity in your builds.

I'm vaping in a different world from you.. 1.5is as low as I'm building right now. I am vaping on 30awg, at approx 10watts on a 2.34ohm coil 8/9 wraps. Just got the Sat22 atty this is 6th try first coil I get any flavor from. Have tried 29awg, 30awg and twisted 31 and 31/32. I will probably try twisted 32 next. 1.8ohm twisted 32 is my favorite with my Kayfun.

I just got a look at that Sat 22, and I must say it's a nice looking RBA. It strikes me as simple and elegant and it looks quite easy to build on. I might consider getting one, after I get my Kraken.

I have been enjoying mine. I'm sure an authentic is 100 x better then my clone.
