Hello everyone, thought I'd stop by and introduce myself to this thread. Not entirely sure yet where I fit in the whole Tootle Puffer vs Mod Whomper scheme, but I'm without a doubt a flavor chaser rather than a Cloud Chaser, so hi everyone. I'll be lurking in your thread from time to time.
Welcome Kad, as long as your vaping, having fun and either staying off the stinkies or trying to get off them, its all good. Many Mod wompers will also tootle puff some, and the tootle puffers will swing by the Womper room at times just to hang out and enjoy some good ol coil porn.
Yeah, there is an idea that RBA's are for cloud chasers, or only for sub-ohm and that's just not true. My first "rebuild" was the head of a T3, and just changing the wire from the stock 34g to my 32g, same resistance, made a huge difference.
After a couple of weeks using my velocity at about .5 with dual twisted 28g coils, I'm back to a single 0.7ohm coil in a derringer. I like dense vapor more than huge volumes of vapor.
The only time I've EVER built a sub-ohm coil was for that Evic-VT I had so briefly. Otherwise, the lowest I've ever built was 1.3Ω. Didn't care for it, because with the 29ga I prefer, there weren't enough wraps for good vapor. The 7 wrap coils I prefer end up in the 1.65-1.7 ohm neighborhood, and make excellent vapor -- the thin "clouds" that suit me, with plenty of flavor.

My preferential coil build is usually anywhere from .2 to .6 and I have enjoyed a few 1.2 ohm builds before. I like to keep them simple, plain jane 24 or 26 ga kanthal tight wrapped coils but I dont mind a clapton or a twisted coil build in an RDA.
Its cool as can be seeing all the cool coil builds yall come up with, especially Bodens who is in my opinion a master coil builder and at times I will try a few of them but for the most part, I just keep it simple
Like you Lessifer, i learned on those tiny coil heads and even built a few 28 ga coils in a T3 style head. It vaped actually well but battery life was cut short from it. The hardest coil I ever built was the dual coils in the Protank III's, an to be honest, I never seen any real difference in the vape between a dual coil or a single coil in them.
