    New wire taste different?

    In your head, zoiDster... I'd say that's pretty insane normal.

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

    Mandy... it's OK to be lost and confused. Gotta' start somewhere, right? ;-) Anyway... there are only three bits of information you've provided that are of any value at all... wire gauge, cotton wicking, PG/VG and nicotine percentage. To diagnose your issue, we'll need: Specific RDAs... if...

    new dripper burnt taste?

    It should go without saying... buy an Ohm meter. In the mean time, I'll calculate your build - Single coil? What wire, how many wraps on what size mandrel? Did I mention... get an ohm meter. You've run into a situation where you don't really know what your resistance is... and you can't...

    RDA Youde Jakiro

    Appearances are deceiving. The overall length is 34mm, so it's about 5-7mm taller than a conventional RDA, but... the inner cap and smaller build deck/juice well reduces the chamber net volume considerably... which improves both flavor and vapor warmth, while the net air flow maximum is actually...

    First Post

    Welcome to ECF, alange... You've left out a good bit of information... like your build specifics. Wire gauge and single coils, or coil(s) in parallel have a dramatic effect on vape temperature, vapor production and flavor... when balanced against specific current outputs. Click both the first...

    Would this be safe?

    A genuine AW 18650 2200mAh has a MCCD of 20A. Without considering the pulse or momentary discharge/time values... you have a negative headroom of 3.3 amps, at 4.2V & 0.18Ω resistance. Lets say for a moment that you have a conservative pulse discharge rate of 1.2 X 20A = 24 amps. Might be...

    Coil Build Help !!

    Wrap count and ID don't determine resistance. Only the wire gauge and length from terminal to terminal establish net resistance. The wrap count and ID are physical attributes effecting coil surface area - relative to wick exposure. At a full 50 watts... 24 gauge might be a bit too thin (and...

    Any other Mechheads out there?

    Right there with ya' Thrash. Had several, kept the four favorites and off-loaded the unused orphans.

    PWM vs DC mode Sigelei Mini 30

    Yep... in DC mode, the chipset is bypassed, allowing the atty to run directly off available battery current... which permits a lower net resistance than otherwise permitted by the chipset. Edit: In DC mode, you'll need to know your battery MCCD (maximum continuous current discharge) value, then...

    sub tank mini rba dry hits at high wattage

    Your wattage isn't high, heffe... in fact, if you use the Ohm's law formula or v² ÷ Ω = P (wattage)... it's low. Although there is an unidentified wire gauge/wire strand count value that will have an effect on "heat flux" (coil radiant temperature in mW/mm2)... 0.4Ω resistance at 4.2 volts...

    Is the heatflux correct for twisted wire?

    Yep... using your SE link, I get identical values, and a stone cold HF of 47mW/mm2. You'd need at least 60 watts to get into the approximate middle of the green zone @ 167 mW/mm2. As an example of myself and others, I tend to build for the 230 to 345 mW/mm range, with the lower end for RTAs...

    Is the heatflux correct for twisted wire?

    What you may have done is set it at "dual coil" for the build "set-up"... where the program believes you have two parallel coils, each made of two strands of wire. Reduce the build to a single coil and it will adjust heat flux to 189 mW/mm2. Read my Steam Engine User guide (link below) if...

    Coil Diameter Pros & Cons

    Some of what you've stated makes sense... but I'm not clear on what you're using for a power supply. Is this a single 28 gauge coil, approximately 111 mm in length, 10/9 wrap on a 3mm mandrel for 2.0Ω even? If so, and if you're "forcing" 40 watts with a regulated mod... then your heat flux is...

    Coil Diameter Pros & Cons

    For a known net resistance, as determined by wire gauge, wire length and parallel coil count - regardless of the diameter and individual coil wrap count - the coil "surface area" remains the same, as does the wattage required to produce a desired radiant coil temperature ("heat flux"). Where it...

    ohms meter ?

    The USA meters will work fine. If all you use is regulated mods, a DMM will still be good to have, but not just about mandatory, as it would be for a RDA / mech mod user. As to the Half-ohm, milliohm adapter... it's useless unless you have a standard test lead spacing DMM.

    ohms meter ?

    Nice to have, but sometimes, for "some people"... better to not know, than to compare their voltage drop (VD) value to other's values, without the benefit of a known resistance or repeatable methodology. They may freak out when their numbers suck. :blink: Every now and again, someone will...

    ohms meter ?

    This page is the point-of-sale page for Tech-Thing. As it's always a headache looking for a place to happen... I don't generally recommend specific DMMs. I don't know what your budget is... but you will be well served if you get something in the $45 to $100 range. Yes, you can spend as little...

    ohms meter ?

    Ohm meter/build boxes are convenient... and provide a continuous, consistent readout (vs the sometimes "dancing" readout common with probe testers)... usually to the one-thousandths place. Some have terrible accuracy, and some get pretty close to a much more costly 4-wire ohm meter. The better...
