Build ideas

[Saltydogg]

My Youde Goliath will arrive tomorrow and I am trying to decide what my first dual coil will be. I'm looking for a build to chase flavor and I'm not worried about getting big clouds. I'll be using my istick 30 and I have 26, 27, 28 and 30 gauge Kanthal. I've never built a dual coil rba before so can anyone give me suggestions for a good one?

use steam engine.

i'd go with 28 gauge, 0.5 ohm dual; should vape about 20 watts; 2mm ID 6 wraps

Kanthal A1
gauge ----- watt per ohm (per coil) for 200mW/mm2
34 ----- 1.4
32 ----- 3
30 ----- 6
28 ----- 10
26 ----- 23
24 ----- 45
22 ----- 91

Current might be a more intuitive way of thinking about it.

gauge ----- current (Amps) for 200mW/mm2
34 ----- 1.2
32 ----- 1.7
30 ----- 2.4
28 ----- 3
26 ----- 5
24 ----- 7
22 ----- 10
20 ----- 13

Thanks edyle, how do I determine leg length?

the leg length just means the extra length of wire between the wrapped part of the coil to the point where it reaches the post.

That atty has some pretty big wick slots. This build is great for flavor on several of my dual coil attys: 28g, 7 wraps each on a 3/32" bit or 2.5mm bit. It will be about 0.7 ohm. I think you want to use at least that size coil on that atty IMO. I run it between 20-25W.

On some of these big air attys I do this build: 26g wire, same size bits, 9 wraps each for about 0.5 ohm. This I run 40-50W.
