RDA Cloud comp, parallel dual or quad

[AngieMcSkruf]

I need a cloud comp build, its a small comp and I know my lung capacity is crazy especially for a girl, but it's my first one so I have some questions.

I plan on doing a parallel build, possibly a quad. I have 22g kanthal and 24 g kanthal. Will also twist. I prefer a cool vape for clouds, I'm rock in a twisted messes on a magneto so the voltage drop is terrible. I have the green Samsung's (blues as well) need a build that is "safe" for vaping this build to practice and for the comp only. After which I will change out the build because I know the batteries can't take it for long. Can't go below .08. Open to all suggestions, aside from ones requiring a new battery. I'm willing to pulse/flick the bean if need be

I would go 20g titanium if single coil and 22g titanium for duals @ 0.1 Ω. LG HB6. Not a cool vape at 145W to 160W.

Clafify please, just regular old coils or when you say dual you mean parallel?
I was planning on at least 2 maybe 4 individual coils but whether they are single or parallels (or twisted) is up for debate

As much as I want to give you a recommendation I would not recommend using the Smok Magneto, it's simply not conductive enough for super-subohming and you will be losing a pretty significant amount of voltage in the mod itself which can cause hot spots and excess battery strain not to mention that you will be giving up easily 0.7v-1.0v or more of power to any other competitor who is using a very conductive mod with minimal voltage drop. What that means is that even if you built to 0.08 ohms you would be at a very distinct disadvantage because you are sending so much less power to the coils, so much less that you could be 50-60W behind someone with the same build as you and a more conductive mod and no matter how big your lungs are that's a losing battle every time. Honestly it would be like entering a totally stock family sedan in to an endurance off-road race, it's just not built for what you want to do with it.

20g or 22g standard coils. The use of multiple smaller coils will only result in inefficiency generated by increased leg power loss. I have never seen a comp winner's circle populated by either twisted, or parallel builds. There is no way you will be able to heat a large mass of wire fast enough as comps are all about quick and hard hitting setups. Adding to what Froth said, if all you have are 25Rs then your build will be limited to around 0.14 Ω. That alone will set you back 50-75W against a 0.08 Ω build. Or you can take it to the edge: Calculate 3.8V and build to 0.12 Ω with 32A pulses on new cells with very little runtime.

What about the voltage drop fix involving sanding down some of the parts to get the coating off and decrease voltage drop? Look up magneto 2 voltage drop fix. The man has a very strong accent. Could this work?

Its all I got, I'm trying to win so I can sell the prize for a new better mech. This is my first mech and I simply can't afford to spend hundreds on a glorified metal tube. There isn't much competition, and its girls vs girls, I think I have a chance, especially if I find someone in the crowd that let's me use their mod

No matter how much work you do with the Magneto you're not going to improve it enough to really notice, you don't need to save up hundreds for a nice conductive mech, there are plenty of clones that work great for not more than $30.

Thank you for your input, I was more looking for build advice/a way to mod it. I know my mod isn't great but it was my first foray into mechs and didn't want to end up with a fancy ... pencil case if I didn't care for mechs. I'm aware of the voltage drop being rubbish, but I'm still trying to enter and I've already won in my mind. I have a babysitter and my fiancee is off work, so I may not have another chance for a long time. I'll suss out the competition, I still wanna build but if there's a lot of female entries, I may not sign up seeing as 10$ is a lot to spend to lose.

Build it simple and according to the limitations of your cells. Sand down whatever you feel comfortable sanding down. Go for it.

...I may not sign up seeing as 10$ is a lot to spend to lose.

$10 is an insignificant amount when compared to the experience of participating in your first cloud comp. Compare builds. Make new vape buddies. Win. Lose. Live the vape life .

What?

What you can do is make sure every contact is super clean to reduce possible voltage drop. Sanding stuff down basically resurfaces metal, it may help if contacts are uneven or dirty.

What you can do is use Steam Engine and come up with a build that performs better at a lower voltsge. You'll probably need thinner wire. Thin wire can make clouds.
