Yeah prob not the best first atty build for me. I went with the parallel coil on the advice of the shop but I probably shouldn't have lol.
Anyway I took that coil out -- and just to see, installed the premade Claptons that came with this RDTA. It came in at .17 ohms and has worked like a charm at 80w all afternoon. Nothing weird going on yet. I think I'll vape on this premade Clapton until its ready to have a wick change. Then I'll try a single strand build next. And give another update!
Also- what is the wattage range for a dual Clapton kanthal at .17 ohms? I like it at 80w but just curious.
The best wattage to vape on is what you like. Everybody is different. As for me right now with the fat Buddha (30mm) with a .35 dual 22g Ka1 and running it at 9v right now. I'm just breaking in the coil so going up slowly. Gonna go up to 11.5V and vaping this .35 at that voltage would give me 377W. That's where I like it with this DIY juice 70/30 I'm using right now. I made it 70/30 for my Voltrove being a tank it wicks better but I'm just loving the flavor out of the Buddha.
One thing about vaping is this is a good voltage/wattage for me but you would try this and cough your head off cause your used to around 80W with the juice your using. You will find that juices will also alter what wattage you vape at so...back to what I was saying...vaping is for everybody. What works for me wouldn't work for you. If you can't find something that works for the person, they haven't looked hard enough or vaping just isn't for them. If I try your setup, I would feel like that wattage just wasn't enough for me. I've tried a friends vape and had to turn up the wattage on his mod and when I gave it back to him I forgot (at least that's what I said...::devil horns:
to turn down the wattage and when he took his next hit he coughed his head off and the group still got a laugh.
I said that to say this...do you! Whatever is good for you is good for you. If you feel like you want to go up or down in wattage, go for it. Your the one vaping on your device. Hope that helps.
::Edit:: I forgot to mention, I will run my coils for months (aliens cause it takes a while to build them (and I'm kind of lazy and just don't want to build more) and just change the wicks u tip the coils have had enough). I will just rewick numerous times so I would run those aliens till the give up the ghost and then try the single strand coils. Also you could try single strand contact coils (when the wraps are touching) or spaced (just what it says, space the wraps). Easy way to space is when the coils is wound around your jig, grab the end side (wrapping hand) and use your nails and stick in between the last wrap and the one before it and pull to stretch them out. Once stretched, push it back in towards your holding hand and it will be perfectly spaced. Try them and see what you like. Sorry I made this little comment so long but sometimes that happens to me..lol.
