5 hits per drip, normal?

[Mad Scientist]

Gonna make it a single coil when I'm due for my next change which is latest tomorrow and update about the experience. Thanks guys.



More details as in? I'm using a 28 gauge kanthan wrapped round the blue screwdriver 5 times giving me about 0.45ohms. But doesn't having more cotton makes your wicking slower? I wicked mine with the cotton being able to e moved about with just a tad bit of resistance.

For a dripper I generally go with the thickest wire and fattest coil that will still work and fit. A typical Ti G1 dual coil build would be 26 AWG, 3.5 mm, 9 wraps, and a wick as long as I can possibly stuff in the juice well without completely blocking airflow under the coil. For Kanthal, same but 24 AWG. I think the blue screwdrivers are about 2 mm.

More cotton holds more juice without leaking out the airholes. I like my juice wells filled with plenty of wet cotton.

Really? Friend, you are going 40w at a 0.6ohm coil. Seriously you getting five good hits is well above average. I would think your build would have a problem if you go way above 5 hits. Drippers are meant to drip. That is why people carry a bottle around. If it frustrates you, I suggest you switch to a tank.

You may want to try a Squonker and not worry about dripping.

Squonking is dripping. It's squonkdripping[emoji12]

I'm getting five hits per ten drops on a .6 ohm single coil at 37 watts.

Will try that out soon and see how it works for me.

Yup it's kinda frustrating when comes the time where you'll want to chain vape so many times. But I figured tanks might pose an issue as well when Chain vaping?

I reckon a nice bottle like u-can makes dripping easier on the go. How often do u guys recoil or rewick?

once a week maybe?

Nope. Not when you are on temperature control setup. Even on kanthal build when I wick and build my setup nicely, I can go for like 8-10 hits without dry hits. Always remember this to get a constant good vape - "Long drags, less hits. Short drags, more hits".

Now, that looks good as well. Anyway I rewick about once a day or once every 2 days? Will needa clean the coils as well when rewicking as well. Recoil say 4 or 5 days?

When I feel like I need to change the coil, or setup. Otherwise, I only rewick, I do not recoil if it is a wonderful coil already. I simply wash and clean the coil to make it brand new. Washing and cleaning your coil will not only make it as good as the first time it is, but may make it even better.

I'm using TC for normal vaping and only on wattage mode when I want more clouds. yea and I usually take long deep drags cos more shiok.

 

[teddyzippo]

Get a tank and use tc. I chain vape pretty damn a lot. Can finish 3 to 4ml in one rd of chain vaping and im vaping at 0.07ohm, 50joules with 0 dry hits. Tc is really a wanderful upgrade to vaping.

 

[iSuck]

0.07ohms? On a single coil? What gauge kanthal are you using? And I fiddled with the ohm calculator and figured that dual parallel would allow for a cooler vape as well?

He isn't using kanthal wires. Kanthal wires will not work for TC mode. You need to get nickel wires instead. Dual parallel builds are usually used in RDAs for cloud chasers. And no, it will give you a hot vape and very low ohms. I currently have a 0.25ohm dual parallel (5 wraps each) on my RDA.

It will be advisable for you to watch and read up on more reviews before trying out.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I think parallel wrapped coils are only useful on a mech to keep resistance low and wraps up. So a 5 wrap parallel is 10 coils of the wire around the wick but a quarter of the resistance of a 10 wrap. On a VW or TC mod, just do 10 wraps.

 

[Epic_Sinner]

Yep. Because the coils are wrapped in such a way that the length of the wires per wrap is halved, which is why the resistance is reduced by 65%.

Idk if it's just my mod of my build but, earlier on I tried building a single coil on a 3 post RDA and the coils are having hot spots all over. Are 3 posts RDA not meant for single coil? And I did a 6 coils on a 28 gauge kanthal aiming for a 1ish ohm but it seem to be that the single coil 1.1ohm glows so so so much brighter than a 1.8ohm parallel dual coils. Any ideas?

 

[WarA]

I would suggest you read up on power distribution. A simple would be that on dual parallel power is split into 2 whereas a single coil absorbs the full effect. Also as Voltage=Resistance*I(current), Power=I(current)*Voltage. Mainly we'll be using I=V/R and P=I*V for simplicity sake

Voltage remains the same on parallel whereas current is split.
The same is inverted when they are in series where voltage drops and current is same in series. (This applies mostly on dual battery mod where batteries are in series)

edit: Also to heat dual coils to the same heat as single coil should in theory use 2x as much power however a lot of other factors comes into play (personal preference etc)

edit edit: Also as to resistance, resistance in parallel is actually (sum of all resistance)/(number of resistance) aka average of sum of resistance (this is what years of engineering gave to me haha)

How about posting a picture of your build?

This is my single coil rda build, in case you need a reference. This is 28g, running 1.7 ohms I think.
