26 gauge to 24 gauge...word

[jotohomomoto]

Just got a Panzer copper clone with IGO-W5 atty and have been using 26 gauge. Well I just tried it with 5 wraps with a 24 gauge and it is way different (more flavor!)!!
I'm new to mech mods but I've been vaping for over a year without a single cigarette. I'm not CRAZY into vaping but I DO appreciate a good vape with taste being the priority over clouds (although I do appreciate a good cloud!).
There is so many vape shops where I live its hard to keep count!! Everyone spitt'n knowledge, I'm just like...whoa!! But I get it! hahaha
see yah

Good discovery! Personally I prefer dual micro coils for good flavor.. I don't know why but they seem to give me better taste. All my buddies who low ohm cloud chase use stuff like 24g and 22g parallels and stuff but my 2 coil 28g at 9 wraps each actually blows pretty big and delicious clouds

How many Ohms are you running at?

 

[OddaKine]

Double wrap with 28ga is my go to, about 6 or 7 wraps for each

24g parallel setup

I found that twisted flat ribbon Kanthal gives the best flavor to cloud ratio I have found. I am at 1.1 ohms duel coils on an 18350 Caravela Clone.

i really don't know how many ohms i'm at. I don't have an ohm reader (Perhaps I should make the investment). hmmmm 9 wraps of 28g is pretty interesting. I just do what they tell me at the vape shop(s) for newbs...lol

I might have to try these different setups for optimal taste/cloud ratios!!

I've been vaping this juice called Manifesto (its a communist russia themed company?!?) and its a really great coffee flavor. Man does this stuff taste good! ha!

You definitely should for your own safety. Especially with low ohm vaping. Either a standalone reader or a mod that can read ohms.

I love twisted ribbon wire. I even twisted some twisted ribbon wire .4mm and the taste is out of this world.

No perhaps about it! Invest in an ohm reader or a Digital Multimeter (DMM). They are not expensive. Depending on someone else (an employee at a vape shop or anyone else) to tell you what to do is not a great idea if you value your life. You need to know that when you fire your mod you know what the risks are. You need to educate yourself.

What type of battery are you using?

 

[Nightshard]

Did you consider using twisted 26? Im using twisted 28 and getting very nice flavor.

 

[DaveP]

I like higher gauge wire just because it heats faster at a given voltage.

PLEASE do not build another coil or anything of the sort until you get an Ohm meter! This is one of the MUST HAVES for this type of thing. A safe battery and an Ohm meter should be the first two purchases made for all mech vapers! For your own safety please get one!

This can't be emphasized enough , your playing with disaster if your messing around with a mechanical and are unsure of the ohm's of your coil , you could be very seriously injured.

A Ohm tester is not just to test Ohms, it will also detect a short.
Could save you a busted battery or worse if you put every build on a Ohms Tester before using.

I'm sorry but I just don't understand how someone goes into sub-ohm and never tought about getting an ohm tester or multimeter?????

I'm a cloudchaser too but wen I got my first mech even before I even thought about going low I got a multimeter

come on guys this is just stupid

 

[Vapeaholic]

5 wraps of 24ga will be extremely low ohm, unless the coil diameter is huge. You need to get an ohm meter and know what your battery can handle before you get hurt.

 

[westonG]

if the OP is wrapping on a small screwdriver, it should equal out to around .35 or so as long as they have a decent battery they should be alright. But i do agree to get an ohm meter, mine broke so i use my wifes sigellie Tmax to test them. I do the same build most of the time with 22 or 24G and dont test the ohms sometimes, its almost always the same within .1 ohm. but like i said i agree with everyone else to get an ohm reader/ multimeter.

 

[muddog23]

Started with 30Ga, went to 26Ga and now today I ordered 22Ga. Cant wait to try it!

Agreed 100%. If you have a shop in town you trust and know well, go in and have them A. Build the coil for you, B. Show you how the ohms meters work. Shops around me sell ohms meters for dirt cheap. Seeing everything in person certainly helps because you can ask questions along the way. If a local shop does this to help you out, you know they are quality people who care about their customers. Mine does group buys for rare/beta/exclusive juices and always give me a call to let me know.

Yepperz! Check all ur coils out! You can get the small ohm checker box from Fasttech for $10 or a cheap multimeter from Home Depot or Hdw. Store for about the same price. Stay Safe & Vape On!
