    My cheapest mech mod hits the hardest.. What gives?

    It's not my intent to cast shade on your comments @tj99959... and certainly not to say that you were the "ground zero" for these, sadly all to commonly held, "beliefs". Rather, my goal is to stab those false beliefs in the heart... and replace them well documented and established facts. Why...

    'dual' or 'quad', not should I, but which is this..

    A WAG would be a rusty steel post under a "flash" chrome or nickel layer... or the center screw that's not shown has transferred some rust. Gotta' give 'em credit for a great, in focus, close-up though... eh? YMMV? :rolleyes:

    My cheapest mech mod hits the hardest.. What gives?

    it's not surprising... It can, for fit and finish, quality of materials... but a poor design is a poor design, and a clone of a poor design... is just as poor, or worse. If you have a DMM (and an inline volt meter can come in handy as well), you can follow this (primarily tube) mech mod...

    'dual' or 'quad', not should I, but which is this..

    The number of coils per strand, isn't relevant for net resistance measurement purposes. It's called a dual parallel / series. A pair (parallel) with two coils in series. It could be a parallel pair with an infinite coils per strand, and as @Mad Scientist indicated, it's measured as a dual...

    Sxk vs Infinite?

    SXK is a manufacturer. Infinite is a wholesaler/distributor that frequently contracts SXK to manufacture products both clone, and unique to them. Some of the better quality Chinese products frequently come from the SXK/Infinite "partnership".

    Claptoning Drill

    There are a variety of cordless "nut drivers" with a 1/4" drive available... many of which have, including the charger base, a very small, easily packed form factor. Combine any of those, with a micro drill chuck... and the entire package is quite a bit smaller, and more easily packed than the...

    Looking for a good cloud build

    I like multi parallel coil builds from thinner wire - for the very short duration heat capacities - vs thicker wire, which can take an annoyingly long time to temp. There are literally hundreds of builds that will optimize within the 100 to 150 watt output range. Here's just one... Example -...

    Looking for a good cloud build

    Welcome to ECF, Matt... Remember to provide equipment information when asking for build recommendations... without it, respondents are completely in the dark. As you've provided wire type and gauge, the remaining info needed would be: what atty, what wick material, what current output device...

    coils

    Lars has added a "wire wizard" calculator to Steam Engine (as a supplement to the brilliant "coil wrapping" modeling program)... and it allows for (more detailed parallel and) Clapton build modeling. Although 28 core/28 wrap is not common for Claptons, the program accepts that gauge for entries...

    Comment by 'State O' Flux' in '18650 Battery Ratings and Performance Table'

    Hey Moochy... I just noticed that you added a "my CDR" line for direct, MFG CDR comparison. An excellent idea for "at-a-glance" reference.

    Looking at a mechanical mod

    Actually, the "battery holder/contact switch"... AKA the mech mod, can be just as important as the batteries you use. The best quality batteries (Mooch's terrific 18650 testing will clear up the advertising BS) are only as good as the conductivity potential of the mech they are used in. A great...

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

    Hi Windowelf, I got ya' beat by 6 years on them Camel straights... $10 a pack was getting a bit ridiculous. ;) Thanks for the kind words. Even if it doesn't resonate fully right now. perhaps later, when you're doing a build, you'll wonder what this or that actually means, and come back to the...

    Multimeter help.

    Above about 0.30Ω, you can use a decent DMM alone... preferably one with a min/max feature* so you can make an educated estimate of true resistance from the range provided. Make sure you discount the test lead resistance. If below 0.30Ω... you need a greater level of accuracy. Perhaps the least...

    Why high wattage?

    Lower resistance, thicker wire and/or greater coil surface area. More surface area (that can be adequately heated) = more and denser vapor (with high VG) is produced, per draw.

    sub ohm coil question

    Wouldn't be much of a "coil"... for all intent and purpose, with only 11.2mm of wire length, a single wrap... and depending on the mandrel size, you may not even get that.

    Welcome to the Asylum, Aegon... It should "turn out good" if you aren't easily frustrated... should something not, initially work out as you hoped. In the vaping world, there are a whole lot of different ways to do a very similar thing... which is to inhale some tasty, satisfying vapor. It's...

    Vappower Green 35A 2500mAh 18650 Bench Test Results...a 20A battery, no higher

    I know how you feel. You've done so much already, and the majority are as thrilled as a bathtub full of otters to have all this objective data available (finally), but... there's always a "but", isn't there? ;) You can leave it totally as is, and I can't imagine anyone dumb enough to complain...
