Subtank Mini coils

[dom qp]

Hi Friends,

I want to try out my rba but I want to get to 0.5 ohms. Based on steam engine, I see that 6 wraps @ 26g will pretty much get me there.

Curious to know if anyone has experience with trying this - i'm worried there won't be enough room on such a little deck. I have 0 experience building and I still need to pick up the kanthal, so i'm not sure how how obvious this is.

Alternatively, have different gauges/number of wraps given you an easier time in reaching 0.5?

I'm using a regulated mod.

It's not that little of a deck. I have 9 wraps of 28ga. for @1.5 ohms.

I run a 24ga TI 6 wraps on mine with room to spare.

I also run single coil 26g K1 on mine. I think it produces as much and maybe even better vape than the coil that came in it. One thing I know for sure is with my single coil the ohms do not jump around at all now. CHEERS!

If you want to hit an exact resistance, buy a set of numbered drill bits to use as mandrals for wrapping the coils. Harbor Freight has a set for under 20 bucks. I'd recommend you start with a #38 bit. If the resistance comes out a little too high, try using the next number up. Too low, next number down. Keep going until you get the resistance you want with the number of wraps you want. Trial and error will allow you to hit it almost exactly. Also remember on a regulated mod, exact resistance of the coil is less important, but I wanted to answer your question.

Cheers & good vaping.

(Oh and I almost forgot, keep notes on your builds. Nothing worse than deciding a build is working just perfect and then not being able to remember how you made it lol).
