Here is mine for the stumpy.

Single twisted 28g at 0.67 ohms.
Mine is similar to that but I'm pushing 52 watts through it. You left the wattage field blank. If you insert 50+watts into the watt field your numbers will go through the roof. 1.3mm? That's a tiny coil. 50watts would cause meltdown on that build.

Cotton baking works in high heat my way. This is a .12ohm. 24 gauge dual parralell 3mm I'd build. In the thump.I wick it tight. I get 4 to 5 hits out of a maybe 2 secound light squonk. I rip the strip in half for thickness wise then can cut 3 strip usualy for wicks out of each section for this size coil. Maybe used 6 packs the last year. I build tons of coils all the time. It works the best for me in larger coils I rarely build under 3mm id. I should say it works just as good in small coils. I just use mainly build smaller coils. I used do use it in an erlkonigin with tiny timy coils. Most options for wicks the pad style or things like that dont work at all for larger coils. So started using this exclusively about a year ago works for all applications i have used it for. Realy no break in time. Sucks juice, and holds juice amazinly, and i use max vg juice allways pg bothers my throat. It produces more vapor and a consistent vapor and taste then any thing i have used. It burns vary consistant and evenly. They way i wick it the cotton will turn completly white and evenly if u let it. Is great because thing like native wick and vapors choice seems to get saturated and if say u got a dry hit the cotton womt actualy be dry is weird.

I usually build at either 2.28 or 3mm I like 3mm in single coil and 2.28 in duals. Notice the .5mm spacing, I believe that helps a lot with really hot coils. Inefficient for battery usage but very smooth.

Sorry to go all ADD on you guys but I'm working on the Releaux DNA200 concept. You wouldn't believe how small the wire are in this thing. 18g Max.

IMHO they used way to small of wire for a DNA200. Seeing the balance wires I can see why so many people had problems with charging....

I would imagine so. The wires from the battery look to be 20g or 22g. I will try to get them up to 18g for the line side and stick with 14 on the load side out to the 510. I'm hunting schematics for 133w config right now. If you have never wired a dna200 I could see this being a bit intimidating.

It isn't too bad once you see how it wires, visually. The only change is in the balance port to trick it into thinking its a 7.4v battery.


I'll upload my drawing when I return.

I did mine the other way so the batteries would go in in the original polarity. I did a 14g diagonal cross connect and a charge lead off of both positive connections on the bottom. Pretty genius I thought....

I suppose I do need to remove the diode or fuse that wisemec installed between #3 and +. The one that goes from - to g should be perfect though.

Blue cross connect, 1 red primary, 2 independent red charging leads, and the brass tab provides the common neutral. Now to get it all back in and 510 drilled.

I use 18g for high current line as I'm having trouble pushing the tray back in...is pretty tight

Any one know the oring size for the thump rda. It came with extra post screws but no extra orings. And the first one is shot allready. Or an alternative oring size they may work better. The stock cap fit extremly tight. Even when lubed up with juice. Is the reason the first one is junk already and is strected out. Thank you.

Just received paypal invoice from Chad for 92.00 has been paid I am assuming this was for a Areonaut? Thanks boss
It was actually a mistake but it just means the Facebook guy that didn't respond within 2 days will have to wait until I get the next few Aeronauts. Yours will ship before Tuesday.
