    wires role in flavor

    I don't believe wire gauge... assuming all other variables are matched to the gauge (including net resistance / wick capillary action appropriate juices) to provide similar surface area/wick exposure and heat flux... makes much of a difference. One might think that wire gauge makes a...

    Complicated builds. Are they so much better.

    I'll toss in my two cents... but I want change back, m-kay? From a technical perspective, rather than a "yeah, this seems about right" perspective... if you match all the variables... wire gauge net resistance parallel coil count (if more than 1 coil) coil surface area to wick...

    Copper vs ??

    Welcome to ECF, TS... Personally, I think it's overkill considering the tubes net cross-section, but... from a practical standpoint, conductivity (or "potential" conductivity) can be quite a concern as your net resistance drops. If you're a cloud competition guy, running the near dead short...

    The practical applications of heat flux, wire gauge, parallel wire count & net resistance as they relate to... the simplicity of a mech mod vs. the independent wattage control of regulated mod. In simpler terms... the Ohm's law limitations of mechs vs. the ability to "force" wattage with an...

    trouble building Kayfun V4 clone

    Wrap the coil (over or under the mandrel) so that the tails are naturally 'aimed' at the 6 o'clock point of the screws. Continue this natural direction by wrapping the tails around the screw shanks in a clockwise direction, so that when you tighten the screws, the tail tip is 'pulled' clockwise...

    High Discharge/Drain Batteries

    Just vendor advertizing hype, which can be somewhat "overly enthusiastic"... depending on how honest the vendor and/or distributor chooses to be. ;-) Truthful listings of the HE4 should include both discharge value ratings, as follows. Maximum continuous current discharge: 20A Maximum...

    Why use an actual coil ohm reader when I have a multimeter?

    No problems using a DMM... until you get down to deep sub-ohm values. If you're build is 0.5Ω or 0.55Ω... it's not such a big deal, as current draw is modest. If, on the other hand, your build is 0.1Ω or 0.15Ω... it can rapidly become a big deal. At this point, not only resolution & a solid...

    I know it's all about preference, but am I crazy?

    Without providing specifics - PV voltage settings, as well as carto brand / type (including juice feed hole number and size) and tank BVC coil head resistances... not much can be offered in the way of suggestions. A few "WAGs"... your comment "I like the warm vape of the carto and the...

    Sub-Ohm... what's the point?

    A few days ago, this post popped up... with my answer to follow. Although you provide no detail regarding your net resistance and wire gauge used... everything you need to be successful at higher wattages can be found in Ohm's law formulas, the Steam Engine coil modeling program... and an...

    Juice at High Wattage?

    Although you provide no detail regarding your net resistance and wire gauge used... everything you need to be successful at higher wattages can be found in Ohm's law formulas, the Steam Engine coil modeling program... and an understanding of "heat flux". Heat flux is the coil radiant heat...

    RDA New to RDA, build suggestions?

    Dual parallels... even if they appear to be identical can lag, one coil behind the other. Just a millimeter difference in a leg can do it. Some will go so far (and actually, this is pretty easy with a two-hole positive post) as to resistance test each coil independently. When it magically...

    Cloud 9 (watts) challenge

    Interesting experiment... "what build will produce the highest level of performance, when you've got only 9 watts to play with?" What you have now is not too far off the mark, Nada, but... you can save time by having a better understanding of how to optimize build specifics against available...

    SMOK Pro BT50 Box mod reduces poower

    Your PV seems unhappy with 142mm of heavy gauge wire (excessive net mass) to produce such a (relatively) high resistance. Try going with 27 or 28 gauge... which would be more common for a 0.8Ω dual parallel build, or... with the 26 gauge, lower your net resistance to around 0.4~0.5Ω. Either...

    Beginner Vaper need help!

    Welcome to ECF, cnguyen... Per Stem Engine (using genuine Sandvik licensed Kanthal A1)... with a net 10mm leg length, a dual parallel, 32 gauge, 5/4 wrap coils should produce a net resistance of 1.0Ω+/-. A 5/4 wrap of 28 gauge produces 0.35Ω+/-. There is a possibility that a coil is shorted...

    RDA New to RDA, build suggestions?

    It appears you've got it about 98% sorted out. All I can suggest is: You might try either setting the coils lower, and/or at a diagonal... either way, closer to the juice well/juice level. After a long draw (Oh goodie, another one of them fabulous subjective values... what constitutes a "long"...

    RDA New to RDA, build suggestions?

    Funny how we can quantify nearly all build, power and performance values... but when it gets down to wick density and coil fit, we're stuck with such subjective terms as loose & tight, firmly and lightly compressed, snug, slight drag - and the most recent of funny descriptors... "wiggle room"...

    RDA New to RDA, build suggestions?

    Assuming around a 10mm net (2.5mm per leg - makes a big difference when you get down to low sub-ohm) for coil legs, and based on your other data, I get a dual parallel 6 wrap to produce a matching .20Ω resistance. At that resistance, wire gauge and wattage, with 80 watts of current, the HF is...

    RDA Need some suggestion on issues having with first rda. Please?

    Photos are decent enough, along with measured resistance, to get an idea of what you have. Thanks. Wrap count alone can be deceiving if you don't know the size of mandrel the coil was wrapped on... having the net resistance helps. To get 11-13 wraps of 28 gauge and see 1.2Ω resistance...
