Best subohm build to reduce juice consumption

[Llamamafia1]

3-4 hits then dry! Just looking to see what everyone uses to make juice last longer when dripping. Currently I have a 22g single coil at .4 ohms

maybe a deeper juice well, I have a mutation x v3 and a velocity with a REALLY deep well, and I get close to 10 hits before dry.

I think juice capacity has more to do with it.

Build at .9! LOL!

Deep wells and high VG will help but subohming loves to go through juice like crazy

Larger ID will help too with more wicking material...maybe.

I agree with the above comments. Get a dripper with a larger juice well that can accomodate more wick (and more juice). Or build coils of a higher resistance

Higher heat (lower sub-ohm) vaporizes more e-liquid and at a faster rate, hence liquid is consumed at a higher rate. There's no getting around this fact.

Pretty much this. Your only options are a larger juice well (different RDA), or changing up the build a bit. That's just the nature of the beast though, RDA's are "drip drip, vape dry.. drip drip.. ad infinitum." If you're looking to lower juice consumption, lower wattage/higher ohms can help with that.

There is an optimal amount of wicking for any given build. This usually means the wick tails just touching the deck, with clearance under the coil. You can use more wicking which will hold more juice, but may potentially ...... vapor production.
Dripping is labour intensive. Thats the price you pay for a superior vape. Dripping through a chuff cap can save some grief, or maybe look into squonking.

That's why kanthal coils are regulated to my RTA's, and a nickel coil is in my Velocity. I like dripping, but I hate dry hits, and no matter how careful I am, I always forget to drip....lol. Now, weak vapor is my indication I need to drip, instead of scorching my throat.

40 watts will consume juice twice as fast as 20 watts.

I recently got a 3d rda; works for me; it's kinda like a genesis by with a spring in the tank, and you press down on the top to shoot some liquid up to the coil. More convenient than my bigdripper;

Using a lowish subohm build and looking to conserve juice is like driving a V8 and expecting to get 70 miles to the gallon.

You all mean I can't defy the laws of physics?? NONSENSE!!

 

[dcfluegel]

deeper juice wells have been biggest game changer in my personal experience with RDAs

 

[Hitcat44]

+1 to Deep Welled RDAs.
I use an El Cabron, Twisted Messes, & 13 Heavens & 9 Hells (the Compvape Triplets) which all have 5-6mm deep Wells. The 13/9 is supposedly like a 7mm deep as it is a very "cleaned-out" Well with as little Post Material left in it as can be.
Also, Just enough Wicking to provide solid Feed to the Coil but minimalistic as possible still accomplishing that Goal.
Typically can hit it pretty well (most Medium with a couple Lung-Busters thrown in for good measure) 10-12 times and not Dry-Hit.

If you do circumvent the Laws of Physics, PM me immediately so I can be the first to bid on the Rights to your Invention

Thanks, you all kinda backed up what I had figured, my mutation x does alright with its deep wells but just switched to a dark horse with has no juice well at all, well basically. Figured out a solution, dark horse top on the mutation base

A deep well can extend time between drips, but subohm drinks juice and there's no way around that.
