Air flow and coil placement in (most) single coil RDAs

[MortenOen]

Hi,
In order to understand what is going on in this video, it is helpful to have watched my other air flow videos where I cover the basics of what is going on in a low presure chamber (an rda in use). This experiment is a result of a discusion on this very forum, and I finally found the time to prove the hypothesy I and @VictorViper hacked out. If you are allergic to science, don't watch

Good job! I look forward to seeing you do a video on bottom airflow single coil design.

Thank you! I have done the Aeronaut. You can find it here, and it might surprise you that I went clapton coil for that one

I think you should design and market an atty (single coil please)...

Looking at how things are setup, it looks as if there is air flow coming from both sides. However, once you apply the vacuum/suction it looks like the air is only coming from the left. Which is true? Have you done any experiments with air coming from both sides?

I'm working on a dual coil right now, but I have drawings for a single coil also. We'll see what happens

Air is comming from both sides. Only the left air has visible vapor in it. That is how I can pick the two flows apart. This is stated very early in the video

Looks like I have some serious catching up to do after a few very crazy weeks of mayhem!

Maybe you have

This will be the nerdiest thing I'll say for a while, but watching the first and final placement clips had my heart racing. Man, it is indeed nice to see a hypothesis in action (especially when you're right!).
