Advice on dripping

[sketchness]

I was struggling to rebuild my coils and found Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators to be immensely helpful. I could get a coil to fire but it was like it was really boiling and not vaporizing. This takes a lot of the guess work out of it. And the advance view calculates surface area to really show what i was actually shooting for. Built my first coils that were as good as the shop built coils when i first bought my dripper. Kinda weird I was able to dial in my fogger before i could get a dripper hitting that wasn't soggy.

Thank you for the link to calculator. I have been kinda guessing at wraps and this is a great help !1

I really want a VVVW box

I highly recommend the Sigelei 100w. $10 more than the 50 watt right now. Solid box so far. I am sure it will be old news in 3 months but I love mine.

Right, so I finally built a 1 ohm coil, or dual coil should I say. Parallel coils, 15 wraps, 25.5 gauge kanthal.
I must say, really not what I expected, really have to have the watts up high to get a good draw, takes a while to heat up and the taste is extremely dense which is good.
Think I'm gonna have to stick to lower resistance as this doesn't seem to be the way to go for me, strange considering everyone advises on higher resistance coil builds with these box mods.

With so many wraps ofc you need high W and it takes a long time.
Try 28 with less wraps

Wow, this thread is educational, I have definitely arrived lol

Lol Tom I wouldn't recommend hooking that up to your iPad, not sure it would fire haha. I am unable to take pics yet but I have built a fair few coils now. Just experimenting as much as possible. I've only got 25.5 gauge kanthan at the minute so until I decide to spend yet more money on 28 I'm gonna stick to the lower resistance builds otherwise they take a little while too long to heat up lol. Thanks again for your help and advice

I say take them. I mean post them due to a lack of posts unless any mods wanna allow it pretty please lol
