Coil keeps burning!

[Huntingdeer]

I have a kamry k100 with a omega rda and I've tried many single coil builds and all I keep getting is coil taste.ive been using a 1/16 bit.i have 26 a1 and 32 a1.anyone have a good coil build? I'm looking for more of a cloud coil.

You didn't mention anything about your build other than the type of wire and bit. How many wraps? What is your wicking material and how much are you using? I use this site as a starting point/calculator for my builds: steam-engine.org

What resistance coils?
What wicking material?
How do you have the airflow adjusted?
Are you keeping the wicking material saturated?

I'm using Japanese organic cotton.the last build was 32awg 1 wire 11 coils and I don't remember the resistance.i got it off a website.then I did another 26 awg 11 wraps.a few more but don't remember.

Airflow I was using both holes.3mm I think

An accurate way to measure resistance is not optional when using a mech / rba set up, you need to know not guess the resistance of the coil.
Calculators give an estimate that still needs to be verified by an ohms / dvom / multi meter and checked for shorts before firing on the mech.

With a single coil you want to use the air hole that matches the location of the coil, not both. Using both will have better results with a dual coil set up.

I could type a lot here but will just wait for Susan she is good listen to her.

I have a ohms meter but just did not remember what they were at the time.ive built many coils too many to remember.im just looking for a suggestion to how many wraps with 28 or 32 a1.

Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
use this and watch the color thingy in the right side that says 'heat flux'

Use your 32 gauge.
Wrap on 2mm to 3mm item like small screwdriver, drillbit or toothpick.
(1/16 inch is ok; 1.5 mm)


5 to 10 wraps : (aim for 7)
Should put you around 2 to 3 ohms.

Check the ohms, of course, with your regulated mod, ohmmeter, or multimeter.
If using a multimeter to check ohms, remember to check/account-for the zero offset.

You can post the pictures of your build. A picture is worth a thousand words. Did you line up your air holes with your coils?

Definitely use an ohm meter not a website to check your builds. It will help you to not blow your face and hands off.
