Hi all,
I'm curious to gather different experiences everyone is having when dripping with their DNA40 using nickel and temp control. (please outline which rda you use, wick, and your temp and wattage settings)
I am currently running a Hobo clone on my vaporshark rdna. japanese cotton, single spaced coil, 420-450degrees, 15-20watts.
I see a lot of people bragging about how long their coils are lasting with temperature control, in terms of wicks not getting charred, and considerably less buildup than a traditional kanthal build. But does their flavor stay the same? While I can say that the appearance of these nickel builds do certainly last longer before looking beat up, I can also say that I typically can only go a week before I just can't take the flavor anymore, and I have to rebuild. I can usually only go 3 days before ultimately seeing a decline in flavor and vapor production - and the throat hit becomes more of a throat burn. I am wondering what causes this? My builds are pretty consistent, usually coming out to around .15ohms, with no hot spots. I've tinkered around with a few air flow setups, and have found what I believe to be the best that I can get with this Hobo.
How long do you guys usually go before you see a decline in flavor/performance? I'm trying to gauge if I am on par with everyone else, or if I might be doing something wrong. Below a picture of my current coil, after about 4 days of use. I plan on rebuilding tonight because the flavor has declined, and it is no longer an enjoyable vape. You will see that it is showing signs of wear and tear toward the middle, and is starting to blacken a bit. Is this normal, especially for the wattage I vape at?
