Cloud Chasing

[chris16371]

So I'm going to participating in my local vape shops cloud chasing event. There are 2 contests. First distance second density. Rules .2 lowest resistance, no twisted, no ribbon wire, single or dual coil only. There's more rules but these ones are part of my question. I have a wide variety of rda. Mephisto v1, plum veil v1, stillare v1 & v2, igo w3, dark horse, tugboat v2, hobo v2, mutation x v1, little boy, veritas. In experience what would you build using what rda? I'm also thinking of using one of the stillare ,bc the v1 and v2 are about the same, and drilling some extra air holes. Any feedback on on customization would also be appreciated. Also any advice regarding cloud chasing such as posture etc would be of much help thanks

nichrome 80 wire 5(maybe 6, you'll have to check resistance) wrap dual coil around a 2.4mm screwdriver in the dark horse with a lower air flow setting for the denser comp...just my thoughts on it, have participated in a few and I am obsessed with nichrome 80 for comp status (a.k.a. "royal" wire if you wanna go overpay for it lol)

I have only ever used kanthal. Would you please explain what the difference's between nichrome and kanthal. Pros and cons

And you say 5-6 wraps. 24 gauge?

20% less resistance than kanthal, lower melting point, cooler vapor at lower ohms...that's all I need to know lol, but you have to use nichrome 80 as there are different grades of this wire (20, 40, 60 and 80) oh and the gauge I was refering to was 24 gauge and once you use it and see the temp difference you will be AMAZED it is much less harsh on the throat and makes comps alot easier at those lower ohms and higher watts, in fact alot of people have said you "must have amazing lungs to take a hit like that at that low of an ohm"...rubbish, it's all due to the nichrome 80 oh and it is easier to work with than kanthal and when people saw me build with it it was always comments like "you make that look easy" once again this is rubbish, it is simply using a different wire will always have pro's and con's and IMO this wire has more pro's than con's, there ARE some con's though...like how you have to be more careful while compressing them for a microcoil than kanthal, you can't just get them red hot and hold it, the metal will melt and fall into your RDA as the legs of the coils just give out, so you have to pulse them while they are hot carefully and barely get them red to compress them into a even firing micro coil and some have questioned the healthiness of this wire but to that I pose one simple question...do you KNOW that kanthal is "safe"? No? Then shut the hell up...just saying lol
