    Coil measured temp profile over time

    Thanks! Excellent clarification and I agree, the coil material plays a big part in the ramp times. But, IMHO, the point I was trying make was the juice in the cotton is definitely heated and aids in the coil holding heat. Here is another chart showing the ramp of the bare coil and the "juiced"...

    Vacuum Testing Results - Tanks & RDAs

    Yep, it's a clone and definitely is restrictive but I don't find it that bad. It is what I am using right now (my other tanks/mods are scattered somewhere else at the moment)... 1.3ohms at 20W and is OK flavor and decent vapor. Not something I use everyday, but it is a change and easy to fill...

    Huge JUSTFOG S14 Hybrid Tank Giveaway - 500 to be won!

    Fly by... started a thread Vacuum Testing Results - Tanks & RDAs . Did some testing to put some numbers around whether a tank/RDA is Mouth-To-Lung vs Direct-Lung.

    As an FYI here is a vid of the coil giving off vapor in slow motion:

    Coil measured temp profile over time

    Not sure this is the best place to post this, but: I decided to take some quick measurements of what my coils were doing when I vaped. So I hooked up a temp sensor (Type K thermocouple ). I placed it inside the coil sandwiched between the coil and the cotton (centered between ends of the...

    Vacuum Testing Results - Tanks & RDAs

    Yes, there is a direct correlation between pressure drop (vacuum), air flow hole size (orifice area) and air flow (flow rate). Air flow increases if either or both of the hole size or pressure drop increases. Or another way to look at it is in order to draw the same amount of air through a...

    Vacuum Testing Results - Tanks & RDAs

    It is not really related to wicking. It is just an attempt to associated some numbers with what could be considered at MTL versus DTL device (tank or RDA). I think common sense tells us if our cheeks suck in when we try to draw on a tank/RDA then it is more likely to be a better MTL device...

    Vacuum Testing Results - Tanks & RDAs

    Every once in a while a question comes up about what tank or RDA is good for Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) or Direct-To-Lung (DTL). I thought it might be interesting to put some science around the question so I made up a little crude test rig. It consists of a Vacuum Pump connected to a tee fitting. A...

    Difference in performance between .5 & 1.2 ohs coils

    "Performance" is very subjective. I get some pretty good flavor and vapor off my $7 tasting RDA with a simple 2.5 ohm, Kanthal, 30g, 2mm, 10 wrap single coil at 14 watts... steam

    Hmm

    This seems kind of random. What questions did you or someone else ask that did not get answered? I have not experienced this observation at all. But, then again, I tend to do some research before asking a question since most answers can be found via a simple search... IMHO.

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    It sounds like you either lie Arabic or not... maybe that is something to try later. I have read a lot of good things about FA 7 so that will probably be on the list. I read that Gold Ducat is supposed to have a sweet and nutty taste which makes it very appealing to me. Thanks! Perfect, along...

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    I've been reading through this and other threads (e.g., Hangsen) and have come up with this list of future potential purchases. Now I just need to figure out how to reduce this list to my first 3-4 flavors! I think I like nutty and/or sweet, but therein lies the problem because I may like...
