    Advice for an SVD with an Orchid v4

    That happens more often than you might imagine... when the power supply output wattage is limited.

    Advice for an SVD with an Orchid v4

    Welcome to ECF, Silver... The "heat capacity" of your builds are too high a value... producing slow heat up and cool down times. Refer to both my first and second sigline hyperlinks. The first will take you to the Steam Engine program, the second will take you to a Steam Engine user guide...

    atty gap

    Welcome to ECF, Brightboy... More information would be good... clones or authentics? Battery brand / type? Have a dial or digital caliper to provide accurate measurements? Remember... the more specific information we have, the more likely we'll be able to solve your problem. Genuine...

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    Too vague a question, Bjorhyn. If you generate some numbers in SE for both proposed setups, you should be able to answer your own question. ;-) As the current for a dual parallel coil build is split, it MAY run cooler for a given wattage... but then, you'd not necessarily be using the same...

    Most efficient way to wick a dual coil RDA setup? (Youde IGO-W6)

    All your build data produces a HF of 266 mW/mm2. It's a good temperature... at least it's OK for me. ;-) You could go with a 25 gauge at 50 watts (1.98mm ID, 7 wraps), for a HF of 289... the HC would be a bit faster, with the leg power loss only 0.75% higher.

    What wire for me?

    With a unregulated mech mod, your current output is a result of the net resistance value. Lower resistance, with the assumption of using the appropriate wire for the build) equals a higher battery discharge... and more heat. First, establish the resistance you want to run... In my experience...

    VV/VW noob with a question

    It's all about the amount of heat you can apply, air you can flow and juice you can vaporize. A guy with a sub-ohm RDA or RTA may be using twice as much juice as you do... per draw. Look on YouTube for "cloud competitions"... not my thing, but it' will give you an idea of what's possible. It's...

    VV/VW noob with a question

    No problem, Jax - welcome to ECF... The deal with regulated APVs is that you can "force feed" wattage to an atomizer... a major advantage they have over unregulated mech mods, where the battery will discharge current only as the resistance requires. This is why mech mod users build such thick...

    VV/VW noob with a question

    With a 2.0Ω production atomizer - probably made with a single coil, 32 gauge or even thinner wire, your 5-6 watts produces a reasonably warm heat flux of around 220 mW/mm2+/-. I say it's likely a single coil because if it were dual parallel coils, the heat flux would be below 60 mW/mm2... and...

    Whats the difference between these mech mods?

    Welcome to ECF, Puff... I guess I can toss in my two cents, if I can get change back... yes? :closedeyes: The technical aspects are battery knowledge and safety, ohm's law and basic DC electrical comprehension. As far as mechs go, the common features one typically looks for are: A...

    Anybody here experiment with a woven cotton gun cleaning patch as a wick/wrap?

    I've been using them off and on for the past month... when I realized I had millions of CC flannel patches from my benchrest days. Compared to organic ball cotton and make-up pad cotton, I really don't perceive much of a difference in flavor. They wick about as well, and last about as long...

    Comment by 'State O' Flux' in 'Steam Engine: Basic & advanced features: Pts. One & Two'

    Hi ya' Dampmaskin... I fixed the cross article links. Having close to the same title screw'd my head a bit. ;-) You're welcome to link these to anything you wish. I'm honored the creator of Steam Engine approves of my guides.

    tugboat 1.5 ohm dual coils?

    Welcome to ECF, hereweare... Unless you have a APV with a resistance lower limit, 15 watts will support a dual parallel build as low as 0.4Ω. With dual parallel builds at 0.4Ω and 15 watts... With 28 gauge, the heat flux value would be 166 mW/mm². A bit cool for my tastes, but certainly not...

    Anybody here experiment with a woven cotton gun cleaning patch as a wick/wrap?

    Yep. Champions Choice and Brownells 100% cotton flannel... they wick pretty well, and of course are easy to cut, roll and thread through a coil. ;-)

    Coil help...please

    Hey ya' EMT... Most of the 11 watt MVP2s will "fire" down below the resistance to amperage parity point... but as you determined, the available output current isn't enough to support below the advertized limit of 1.2Ω. The imposed 1.0Ω lower limit with the MVP 20-watt is kinda odd...

    Dual Coil Heat Flux

    You'll get into it sooner or later Jake. ;-) Actually, this thread may tend to make it out as a lot more complicated than necessary, with spawn and I going back and forth... to get on the same page. Although perhaps a lengthy read, especially as I recently broke it down into 2 parts... this...

    Washington State seeks to ban online sales (and other provisions)

    I think, when you get right down to it... they're using negative, misguided and/or just plain ol' false information to support what is basically, a new source of income for the state. Gotta' pay for them salmon habitats somehow, yeah? ;-)

    Dual Coil Heat Flux

    Ah ha! So Wire gauge - 30 Number of strands - 2 Twist pitch - 1.3mm - adjusted slightly to fit the wire length of 107.4mm. Resistance - two 3.2Ω coils in parallel, for a net of 1.6Ω target resistance. Setup - dual parallel coils HF at 15 watts - 83. At 30 watts - 167. It...

    Dual Coil Heat Flux

    Good, clear photos, spawn. Very helpful. I'd agree that the twist pitch is very near 1mm. For two strands of 30 gauge, with a 1mm twist pitch per coil - at 1.6Ω per coil for a net resistance of 0.8Ω, at 30 watts, I come up with a HF of 334 mW/mm²... pretty warm, although not excessively so...
