Best coil build for flavor and throat hit?

[TechnicallyTactical]

Hello
I picked up a eleaf iStick 50 Watt and a sigelei Tai .. V2 Dripper 22m this week, they are due to arrive next week and I want to be ready haha
I've been looking up coil builds everywhere and I want to get some experienced advice about what build is best for me.

Like I said my hardware is the 50w iStick and a 22m sigelei RDA, I'm new but I've learned a lot quickly
I have some background in electronics and loads of tools and such so I'm not at all afraid to try out tough builds.

What I'm looking for is a decent throat hit and good flavor, clouds are not that important to me and I like mouth hits over lung hits.

One build that caught my eye was a chimney build
anyone out there know a good coil set up for me?

Help is much appreciated so thank you in advanced. Sorry if I say something that sounds stupid

I worked at a vape shop for almost a year recently. All the staff rebuilt coils and used RDA's. Many did exotic builds. To tell you the truth I couldn't tell a difference between vaping an exotic build and a simple microcoil.

Unless you really like the hobby aspect of coil building, I'd just stick to a simple microcoil build.

^^ what he said.

I've always thought it funny to build some fancy kind of build that no one can see anyway.

Thanks for the replies everyone, If the microcoil works for you guys it should work for me. Maybe a lot of the fancy build hype are just more of a placebo effect expecting it to work great. maybe down the line ill give something else a try,
I also feel like a lot of the vape quality comes from the wick and coil placement inside the RDA rather than the coils winding so ill spend some extra time on that.

Hi! I am by no means an expert and fairly new at rebuilding but I just use a simple coil. I find it easier to play with the ohms; watts; and pg/vg percentages as far as throat hits and amount of vaper I want.

I do use single coil around 1.5 ohms (just having an RBA for a few weeks) and somehow it's just works for me. My problem is somtime the cotton wool get burned, so i need to rebuild the coil after a couple of days.. but i get the flavors and TH is good.

Agree...a simple single coil with good organic cotton does it for me...some folks look at vaping more as a hobby/sport, which is fine, but not required for a good vape.

Theres no way to clean the stuff off the coils? you have to rebuild it, or you just put in new cotton?

 

[TechnicallyTactical]

single coil sounds good then, I cant wait to get started

Typically, one dry burns and re wicks a functional coil...ie remove the scorched wicking material, fire the coil until it glows to incinerate any accumulated gunk and gently blow away the ash residue, insert a new piece of wicking material, then back to vaping.

oh ok, every couple of days you have to do it?

You can make a coil last as long as you want it to. They can be dry burned, rinsed and scrubbed (i.e. wet q-tip or tooth brush). Depends on how much effort you want to put into it. It also depends on the liquid you are using. Measuring in days is difficult, go by volume instead.

Usually about 15-20ml is my limit on wicks. If I bother to take a tank apart at that point, I usually clean it and rebuild - its faster than trying to clean the coil for me. I can usually get 30ml out of an atlantis coil - not rebuildable however - and I only use certain liquids that don't foul coils in that tank.

If you're using a NET, 5ml is about the limit on both the coil and wick. I've had no luck cleaning coils with these liquids - not worth the hassle, and not as good as a fresh one when done.

Regarding coil types, depends on how much time you want to put into it. These days, I just build standard or micro coils, since I replace them so much. Call me lazy.

Micro coild, twisted coil, all the fancy pants coils may not make the most difference on taste, but vape production should.

On that not, you are sort of limited on a single microcoil, no? It may be more productive to do some research on dual coil vs single coil, gauge and watts I would think
