2.2 - 2.8 Ohm Coils for VV or VW kick in IGO-W5

[AwaxJago]

I am currently running sub ohm, and tonight I am going to build coils around 2.2 - 2.8 Ohm. This will be my second time wrapping coils, and am hoping to get advice, thoughts, or what other people are running. I am doing this to see if I can find a sweet spot in that ohm range (to see if I'd like to use a VW or VV kick). Any advice or thoughts? I will post pics/review after

Current set up: Nemesis (hcigar), with a IGO-W5, dual 1.4 ohm coils (.7 ohms & 28 gauge), and either efest 1000mAh 18500 3.7V (15A) or efest 2000mAh 18650 3.7V (10A)

Whats wrong with the .7ohm vape?

Not a da.. dang thing ~ It's been blowing my mind, so gooood! I'm curious about the VV/VW kicks, and since I have only tried dripping on .7 coils, I want to see if a coil that can run with the kick is to my liking. And the challenge/hobby aspect of it ;P

Gotcha, haha. I understand that!

So I did a dry burn/wash on my coils yesterday morning, and changed the wicks. By afternoon it was working way to well for me to change the coils !!! Another day I guess, haha

That's always a good thing.

I ended up setting up a 2 ohm (ish) single coil; really didn't like having to cover the atti cap hole... So, I threw on another coil, running at 1 ohm (ish) (note: one of the wicks is a bit light).

From .7 to 1 ohm isn't a huge difference, though I used a different size mini screwdriver shaft for 12 wraps vs. 7 or 8 on the .7 ohm set up.

Initial thoughts ~ 1st hit after it sitting is a disappointment, 3rd & 4th are nice and warm full flavoured ... Will report back after giving a proper test run

I run the IGO W at .7 as well must be something about that wind for that unit. just about everyone I know uses .7 on that RDA. anyhow I am interested in your findings. I don't mind pulling mine apart for some experiments, but if your messing about with it I'll watch and learn.

Set it up, vaped for an hour or two, seemed alright... Took it to work and vaped while I was doing some writing/planning — such a disappointment haha, I think I'm a cloud chaser.

Got home and nothing happened until I fixed the set up. Flavour, density, & the immediacy of a sub ohm coil, gah, so good.

Set it up with a .6 ohm coil, seems good - my 3rd build
