Can anybody recommended me a good, cloud producing build using 30g Kanthal?

[Vapocalyptic]

I've got an assortment of drippers and a ton of 30g wire. I've ran a dual coil 0.8ohm setup for a while now, looking for a configuration that would give me some serious clouds. I'm not sure if that's possible with 30g; I'm looking into ordering lower gauge wire. I'm working with an assortment of mechs, vtc5s, and the magma, omega, and crown drippers. Using organic cotton. I've got a 1/16 drillbit, a 5/64 I believe, and some syringe needles. Help me out!

there are plenty of builds using twisted 30ga builds on youtube that might be fun

As in twisting two strands together? I'm really lost. I've stuck to dual microcoils thusfar

Try a couple of parallel coils

Try a couple of parallel coils

I agree... try a dual parallel coil setup. due to size restraints in your atomizers I would start at a 3/32 drill bit. These will be long coils with a low resistance so be careful, and you are going to need a lot of juice.
I think I'll try to build this in my Magma today as well.

Have you tried pure VG?

I get heavy clouds off an Omega with the Crappy coils that came with it.
I also have one with Quad Dragon coils @ .67ohm that works great on cotton and 50/50mix

Dual strands of 30g twisted will wrap like 28g.

Dual coils twisted 30 at .3-.4 ohms with proper airflow will fog a room.
Be safe and observe ohms law, and use batteries that can take the load.
Sony vtc4 orvtc5 or efest 35amp IMR batteries.

this doc has a chart for building coils

Thanks guys. I've tried pure vg, however it hurts my chest. I guess I have an aversion to it, which sucks, because it is foggy stuff.

Now ive got a question for the real good builders. I must be doing something wrong. I'm using a magma and a crown atty. On the magma, I tried a hand twisted 0.5 ohm build. Powered by a fresh VTC5 in a stingray. Cloud production is decent, but nothing like I see on the net. Not to mention it is hard to inhale, pretty hot, and doesn't taste good at all. I have no hot spots, it doesn't burn,... But it just tastes muted, or terrible.

Than I tried a parallel 30g coil, got it in micro mode, 0.4 ohms. Did this in the crown. Air holes are good, I use organic cotton... Cloud production is better, not as hot, but everything tastes pretty terrible. Am I doing something wrong? At this point I'll sacrifice the cloud chasing for optimal flavor. Can anybody recommend a 30g build that'll have some good flavor?

I'm attaching pics. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Is the RDA with the quad coil build set up for quad airflow? If not that's likely where the bad/burnt taste is coming from.

Regarding the other build, depending on the cap design, try bringing you coils out closer to edge of the deck to, hopefully, get the coils as close to the airflow as possible.

I've used hand twisted 30gauge with some good results before. I used a bic pen and pliers, twisted the wire until it broke off. Made a simple dual coil set up in my Trident. I believe I made 6 wraps with a 5/64 drill bit. Build came out to 0.5 ohms. Vapor production was good using my Shotgun mod (hard hitting mod, about equal to a good copper mod) and a fresh VTC5.
