Can I use an RDA with a MVP 20watt box?

[Chelsea Ann Hall]

I've been vaping for well over a year now, spent a crap load of money. My brother in law has had a couple different cool things, and I've learned quite a lot. I've always just used a regular tank (Aspire and Kangers) and have never done Sub Ohm, and I'm not interested in sub ohm. MVP 20w can't do sub ohm anyways which is fine for me, I am wanting more like 1.2 ohms if I can. So I am interested in a clone RDA which allows you to use it as a single coil or double, which I don't know too much about RDAS (but I research a lot) and would like to not have to buy Aspire coils for my current tank all the time! I am constantly changing my flavor and would rather drip it on there perhaps even have a tank AND drip tip, like I said I'm new to the RDA's, don't know a whole lot.

So can I even use an RDA on my MVP? I don't go too crazy with watts/voltage. But I'm sick of buying coils and love the wide bore and air flow on RDA's.

Help? I don't want anything to blow up on me lol.

Yes you can do it but you must make your coils appropriate for a 20 watt source. You will not get massive clouds but do fine and enjoy the flavor boost.
I am sure someone on here can recommend a proper coil for 20 watts and a dripper.
I actually use a little caterpillar dripper (pretty pathetic) on an ego. Works fine for testing my DIY juice but not something I would recommend.
Probably something in the .5 to 1 ohm range on your coil.

Yes you can, let's use 1.2 ohm as a coil for example. 1.2 ohms at 20w is roughly 4.9v. It would work well with that. That's the beauty with regulated mods, you don't have to build super low. Probably a dual coil, 13 wraps of 28g around 2.4mm diamter. 13 wraps per coil should put you at around 1.2 ohms. Not sure about the best RDA for you, you get something like the troll or freakshow for pretty cheap to learn to build on.

You most definitely could, but it'll limit the range of resistance/wire gauge you can make your coils. 28g or 30g at 1+ohm should work great though.

I run a Smok Scar RDA with a single 1.5ohm 30awg coil. Small, tight air draw, great flavor, and a decent sized juice well.
Bonus: It only costs about $7.

Ya can ya just have to have a higher ohmd build on it so that 20watts will be enough to fire it, us like 28 or 30g wire and ya should be good​

 

[joshua miller]

Anything .8 or higher should be fine

You certainly can.
It's really more about the coil you put in it.

 

[kardia]

The smok caterpillar is only about $12 and would work for that, use 30 gauge wire and you'll be set...only downside is you can only use dual coils.

Yes, no problem, but you're going to have to coil it so it works on 20 watts. Have a glance at the Ohm's Law Calculator to check things as you begin to build coils, but the Innokin MVP 20w machine offers between 3.3 and 7.5 volts. At your preferred level of 1.2 Ohms and 20 watts power, the mod needs 4.4 volts, which it can easily do. Remember, when you build dual coils, the applied resistance of the atty is half the value of each coil; that is, two-2.4 Ohm coils in a dualie make a 1.2 Ohm atomizer. If you don't have an ohm meter, you will definitely need one to build coils.

You can drip 20W on a dual coil. To keep it at or above 1.2R your coils needs to be 2.4R each. It is much better in the 25-35W range. You'll be happier with something like a Kanger Subox. If you own the 20W MVP now, then something like a Troll RDA (which I use now) is cheap ($20) and will get you into dripping. You might get two, one built to a single coil and one built to a dual, and compare notes. Backup toppers, with fresh wicks and coils, never hurt.

Do you know of any websites or really good videos that will teach me how to build coils. I trained in electrical at the home depot when i worked there and have a slight idea (LOL) but I have no idea how to do it and don't even know where to start. It all sounds extremely overwhelming, but everything is when you don't completely understand it. But I want to.

 

[Darth Omerta]

Tons of instructional vids on you tube. Just type in micro coil build RDA and you will find lots!

Until you get into fancys-- Zippers, Claptons, Braids, Fused; what have you, and don't ask because you don't want to know-- a coil is pretty much a coil. There are two basic types; contact where the several loops touch one another, or spaced where they do not. Coils are built from different types and sizes of wire, and wound in different diameters, but the purpose is always to achieve the designed resistance within the tolerances of the build deck. Minimizing thermal mass and maximizing surface area-- that's where the Zippers and Twists come from-- are more advanced considerations. The former reduces power consumption while the latter increases vapor production. I am on my tab so I can't link you, but there are calculators available to help you figure alk this out.

Ah, on my big machine now: Steam Engine Coil Calculator; Ohm's Law Calculator. And pretty much any you tube about building any tank will give you the basics of coil building. They vary, yes, but in detail. The broad brush strokes are much the same.
