    Dual Coil Heat Flux

    I can help you with this, but... you've provided info I don't need, and omitted (or at least need a bit of clarity on). Is this two strands per coil, or two stands total? You say two strands, but you don't give a value for twist pitch.

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

    A few weeks ago, when I was made aware of the proposed legislation, here in WA. State, I sent a lengthy (well, as lengthy as the 5K character limit allowed) message to Governor Jay Inslee's office. This is the response I received this afternoon. "Thank you for contacting Governor Inslee...

    RDA question

    Welcome to ECF, DaCa... If you're new, you might want to find a RDA that has an AFC for both single and dual coils... an Origen V2 would be an example of this. Another example of a specific build, but this time based on a single 28 gauge coil at 30 watts: A 1.9Ω single coil, 10 wrap on a...

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    If you've not tried it, you might want to look into rayon... there's a gi-huge-ic thread on it in this sub-forum. A good bit faster than cotton, capillary action. As I've mentioned more than a few times... vaping, especially high wattage and/or low resistance vaping does have it's rules - but...

    How to achieve warm and MILD vape?

    David's suggestions are sound ones. You also may want to consider cutting the VG with distilled water... to decrease the viscosity and nicotine concentration. You may be experiencing a slight "dry hit" condition... thinning out the liquid may help with this also, as it will improve capillary...

    Airflow questing with thicker juice.

    Due to the even thicker wire, your HF is lower than I thought. This is a single coil, or dual parallel coils... and the net resistance is 2.0Ω? What size is the mandrel you built the coil on? See... 27 gauge is really the wrong wire for such a high resistance value and low wattage output...

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    Won't know 'til you try, eh? ;-) In truth, not really that hot. I run .40Ω, 27 gauge dual coils fairly regularly (8 wraps, 1.6mm ID, 5mm leg total) with RDAs and mech mods... Ohms law value for that, with a fully charged battery, is around 44 watts, but more importantly, an HF of 345. Saying...

    Airflow questing with thicker juice.

    Probably because, in a previous life, I was a technical instructor at a private trade school. Otherwise... I'm as dumb (and old) as a rock. ;-)

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    Looking back at my numbers, I used 0.15Ω rather than 0.14Ω. At that low a resistance, it can make quite a difference. :facepalm: Running the numbers again, with 0.14Ω... I get a HF of 296 mW/mm2. Better? ;-)

    Airflow questing with thicker juice.

    A lack of pertinent information requires that I guess, from the several possible options available. Detail is always good when asking questions, Luninariel. For the condition you refer to as "dry hits", where there is too much current output for the wicking material to keep up, or an adjustable...

    Coil help...please

    There ya' go, Leon. ;-) On a 2.0mm mandrel, it will be a 10 wrap, on a 2.5mm mandrel, a 9 wrap... both with 4mm+/- total leg length to terminals. If you get a chance for a bit of reading... refer to my two sigline hyperlinks below. Cheers

    Coil help...please

    A 28 gauge dual parallel coil build at 1.5Ω with 20 watts... will have a "cold" heat flux of only 59 mW/mm². You need to use either thinner wire, more wattage, build as a single coil only... or with a dual build, a much lower resistance. As you don't have more wattage, that's out, as is a...

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    Lets run the numbers, Bjorhyn... Gauge - 24. Number of strands in twist - 2 Estimated twist pitch - 2mm (looks like 2mm to me... but a measurement from you would be better) Setup is - dual parallel coils. Target resistance is - 0.15Ω (hope you have an accurate ohm meter at that low a...

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    And that explains it... although I'm not so sure I'd admit to being a "vigorous fluffer".

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    On this last question... sometimes it can be hard to tell, but your wick looks to be pretty tight, in-the-coil. Pull-through cotton or rayon wick should pull through the coil with only a light resistance. If it's too tight it tends to restrict capillary action to the wick-in-coil

    Wicking trouble at 150w.

    Hi Bjorhyn... The above photo shown doesn't match the description... a .25Ω, 26 gauge dual parallel (2mm ID) would have far fewer wraps. Photo typo? ;-) This photo below does match the description of .25Ω, 24 gauge - 2mm ID. __________________________________________ Anyway... moving on to...

    heat flux

    Not a problem. Had you included the milliwatt per (what ever) value rather than just the 'K'... I might have figured it out. ;-) Interestingly enough, in nearly a year since SE has been available, you're the first vapist I've encountered using the inch version of SE, where heat flux is a...

    No worries Cj... We all started somewhere. ;-) I have a few things for you to read... that may help with your education. Clicking on my two sigline hyperlinks below may serve to increase your level of knowledge. Cheers

    RDA Coil questions

    Not really much useful information to go by here, Cj... resistance and wire gauge, as well as the method of power output and limitations if any, would be helpful to aid in solving your issues. Assuming you built the parallel quad to the same resistance as the parallel dual... chances are you...
