RDA Cloud Build Question

[phantom552]

I am curious on specifics based around 24ga coil builds.

Say I had a goal of a certain ohm dual coil build, 1.0 as an example. Given that either build would ohm out the same in the end, would a smaller diameter coil with more wraps or a larger diameter coil with less wraps produce more vapor?

I am not a coil master, but you may not want to build true micro dual-coils (small ID coils) with 24 gauge (especially if your build was targeted to be 1.0Ω). It'll just get too hot and plow through the liquid too quickly. Plus, you will need far too many wraps on a smaller ID dual-coil of 24 gauge for it to be of any real use. Go with a larger ID and fewer wraps if using 24 gauge. Vapor will also be largely dependent on the atty you use. You could blow pretty generous clouds with 28 gauge if you build for it and your atty's airflow works for it.

But, I am no coil master...someone else will likely tell you better.

I have a MutationX v3. Also, I don't actually plan on building a 1.0 ohm dual on 24ga, I am just curious whether smaller ID & more wraps or larger OD with less wraps (both to the same resistance, for the sake of discussion) would be the route to more vapor production.

using 24 gauge wire, you'd need 2 x 22 wrap around a 3 mm ID to get 1 ohm...

if you want a .5 ohm dual coil, it's still 11 wraps around a 3 mm ID

I'd either get higher gauge wire, or shoot for lower omhs..

oops...I type too slow. lol. technically it would be the same, as long as the wattage was the same. same surface area, etc...

Coil ID is going to affect wicking and available qty of juice, more than the qty or quality of vapor.
and 24awg dauls at 1 ohm would NOT be HOT it would be cold, Heat flux of 11, yes icy eleven, at natural drawn battery wattage of 13-17 (3.7v-4.2v).

This build is 24 gauge twisted 9 wraps .4 ohm around a 1/8 screw driver. It's long and only .4 ohm. Idk how you will fit a 1 ohm coil.

I'll put a guess out there and say it depends on the airflow configuration of your RDA, since technically surface area would be the same; this assumes that your wick is efficient enough in the smaller diameter coil to deliver enough juice. You want as much air targeted directly upon the coil as possible, so a wider, side airflow cyclops style RDA would benefit from a longer coil that spans the distance of the air opening. In a stacked airflow situation like a Mutation X or something like that, I'd imagine a bigger diameter coil would take advantage of the vertical configuration, receiving direct air on the bottom, center, and top of the coil simultaneously. If one of you tech-savvy folks can prove me right or wrong I'd appreciate it...this is how I generally determine how to build for a specific RDA and I never have a problem with a lack of foggage

I really like this post! Makes me re think my mxv4 lol tyvm!

Honestly I would just try both and see how it works. Kanthal is cheap enough to have fun experimenting.
