RDA 32 Gauge Single Coil RDA

[SacredNut]

Never had/used a rda before. Looking to get one. Only have experience rebuilding single coils on the mini protank 2. Only have 32 Gauge Kanthal Wire. I do have tons of organic cotton/Rayon/peaches n cream, so I'm good on wicking material. Not interested in huge clouds.

I'm looking for a RDA that maximizes flavor potential and is easier on the coil assembly side. Don't care if it's a clone, probably prefer that it is for a cheaper price.

Anyone have any recommendations of a RDA that can allow me to utilize my 32 gauge wire for easily making single coils and get the most flavor out of it. Don't want my Nicoticket Virus to go to waste and would love to pick up flavor notes that I may have never noticed before.

Thanks,
Sacred

Most of the RDAs are too large for such a small coil to fill with vapor. I did try dual 32's since mine is made for duals, the symmetrical airflow maybe helped but the thin wire didn't even want to work on the posts. After trying 28 ga. on my Taifun I went back to 26 ga. single on the dripper, this last time stovetop (kind of blocks off half of the space in there). Save money on the RDA and get some better wire if you have the battery for it. Or use dual coil and/or twisted.

What might work is the mini-RDAs such as https://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/mods-rbas/rbas/smok-mini-rda-2-0ohm-single-coil.html ... on sale right now, drip tip for it will cost you more .. or the slightly bigger one. I may get one. Would like to know if there's anything better that's small, for small clouds flavor.

You can always twist two strands of your 32 gauge to have something a little easier to work with in an RDA. An A6 single or dual coil (dual coil if you don't mind dealing with the extra fuss) would be a good place to start for single strand 32 gauge. Single strand 32 might be too light for the Derringer, but the 1:1 clone is nice. More worried about the post holes being too big, than the ability to cut the air down tight enough to get good flavor with that wire.

edit: You may have to go dual coil to get the resistance low enough to produce a descent vape with 32 in an RDA.

twisted 32G acts pretty much like 28G - and i find it ALOT easier to work with compared to regular 32G and 28G

32g is pretty thin, but if you get an RDA, just order 28g at same site. Speaking of RDAs, I have 3 and I prefer the Magma for flavor. On Fasttech (Chinese co.) They are about $14. Free shipping. But it does take about 2 weeks to get it. You can get the wire there, too.

Good luck!

 

[CoilinTrouble]

^^^ Yep... I predominantly work with 28 most of the time, although twisting 32 should also work quite well if youre battery can handle the ohm drop from twisting wire. As far as the rdas go the magma really is an ideal flavor savor rda.

 

[Lessifer]

if you really want to use the 32g and don't want to twist, or even if you will twist it, consider the igo-l. It's small enough to provide good flavor for single coil, and 32g is easy enough to wrap around and trap on the post screws.

BTW what are you powering this with?

 

[SacredNut]

Not sure why I was mentally stubborn trying to find an RDA that can utilize my 32 gauge. I feel dumb now. I could easily buy like 28 gauge with the new RDA, as it's so cheap.

Interested in this magma. Keep hearing how flavor is big on these. Would 28 gauge with this magma be recommended?

Device wise I'd either be using a VV 3.0 (11 watts max) or the VTR (which can do up to 15 watts)

Are either of these devices able to handle the magma? Would I be limited on certain coil ohms to allow them to work?

I've been using those devices for my aspire nautilus and kanger aerotank and never go above 9 watts.

 

[mcclintock]

My reasoning is this: the low power devices I like are tiny inside. When Cloud Chaser hits the button between his big battery and .1 ohm build, that big atomizer suddenly gets really small in the vapor explosion. But with a low power build, that rig makes a fair amount of vapor but little flavor.

The magma is recommended for flavor (not for leakage) so would help, but finding a good true single coil atomizer would be better. Those batteries are limiting ... I bought a cheap mech just to even be able to try things.

 

[Mellowbuzz]

At 15 watt maximum, I wouldn't go any bigger than 28ga. You would be limiting yourself to building really small coils because it would take forever to heat. I tried running rda's on my vamo v5, at 20 watts max. It was really.....lame for lack of better term. I found myself quickly updating to a box mod with much more power available.

Is it worth even trying to use a RDA and rebuilding whatever size kanthal wire to make a coil if the "biggest" device I have now is a VTR (15 watt max)??? I'm getting a probably should hold out until I get something at least 20-25 watts, before I go down the RDA road. How did I do ECF?

I happily ran rda's on an old vamo(max 15w) for a long time, it's definitely doable but you're going to want to stick in the 1.3-2.0ohm range. For that, you might want to consider 30g wire. 28g will work, but unless you're on the low end of that resistance, it could be too slow to heat up for your tastes, or maybe not.

 

[Mellowbuzz]

Completely agree with Lessifer's comment. It's definitely doable. Like suggested though, stick with a little higher ohm builds that require less wattage. Perfect practice when you do finally do decide on a mod upgrade. I would probably stick to the 30 or possibly a 32ga wire for the time being. You would have no problem rocking a 30ga 1.7ohm build.

I learned with my MVP. As said 30 gauge would be best. The smaller the chamber the better flavor you'll get at lower power. I'd go with a 14-15mm atty over a 22mm.

 

[Lessifer]

The Veritas is a great flavor RDA, pretty much leak proof, and handles a single coil well at higher resistance with adjustable airflow. It is a little different from other attys when mounting a coil, but easy to learn.

What make/model RDA has a 14-15mm?

 

[Lessifer]

You want something with a smaller chamber, like the igo-l, cyclone, veritas. I would stay away from the squid/octopus though if those are still around, they never quite worked right, and no juice well.

Considering the MOD you are using. I agree you want to target 1.5-3ohm coils. 30awg is best, IMO for that. followed by 29 below 2ohms and 31 above 2ohms. Twisted 32 is going to function electrically like 29awg and vape like 27 or 28. Really it comes down to the target ohm and your battery..
