rdta box ijoy 200w

[curlz1987]

hi im new to the whole self modding. i bought the ijoy rdta 200w/225w cheap off someone. he couldn't be bothered with building his own coils. im using the imc-7 deck twin coils. the ones that came with the mod. not been used before. anyway i screwed them into the deck made 2 wicks seems to be working ok. not sure what metal they are. i was geusing ss. so that's what iv set it 2. it shows on screen .35 ohms. iv set the temp at 200 and wattage at 40w. it does crackle and spit a bit but i think thats down to me using 50/50 liquid bit thin. the batteries im using are beeway 18650s 2600mAh. x 2 i dont know if these are good for vaping or not they seem to be ok. not getting warm at all. they are not flat top but fit in ok. so ive bought some kanthal a1 26ga wire and some cotton. my question is how tight do you make the coils and how many wraps do you do. what do you wrap the coils around. once ive made the coils and set it up do i just go with what ohms the mod is telling me its running at? what temp should i run at and wattage. any help appreciated thanks

Is that 200 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius? If it is Fahrenheit, it is way too low. It comes down to personal preference, but when I used to use temp control, I typically set my temp between 450 and 500 degrees.

I would research more, watch some YouTube videos on coil building. Maybe hit up a local Vape Shop, meet some people that hang out there and you can find someone to show you how to build. Building your own is fantastic, but you should really not just jump right into it. There are so many different builds it's hard to tell you how many wraps and so on. Good luck and VAPE ON

Welcome!

With 26g and targeting around 40 watts I'd do 6-8 wraps with a inner diameter of 2.5-3mm (dual coils). 6 wraps will be a warmer vape than 8. You cannot use temp control with kanthal and that particular mod.

Welcome and glad you joined. Might like to simplify vaping without using a tank. Test coils can be easily tested on RDA's.
Suggest experimenting on single coil first then step up to duel. Steam Engine can help you set your goals.

i like the tank as i can use it at work and not 2 keen on the idea of dripping. im going to change my batteries as i think these are re wraps of nitecore batteries and there are a lot of specs with them could be 4a or 40a so not gona chance it. they are still working fine and they are cold when in use but i recon they are only 4a. id rather be on the safer side and try and vape at 1ohm or there abouts. dont think it makes much difference in a regulated mod though
