coil needs more heat

[junkfixr]

I've been wrapping coils for a few weeks now and I did a parallel, single coil on my new Magma. I used 28, wrapped nine times and came out with a .7 build.
Surprisingly my Vamo fires it (ohm meter could be off a hair) but at the full 20 watts, naturally, it's underpowered. There's not any real lag, making baby clouds, but not setting the world on fire.

My question is, will a mech mod make the coil warmer/faster than my regulated 20 watts? Will I get more power and efficiency out of a regulated mod that can produce higher wattage? (If this is in the wrong forum, please move my post.) I guess what I'm after is a better way to heat a coil that has a large surface area, and 20 watts doesn't cut it. I have batteries already, I'm just wondering if putting them in an unregulated copper tube is going to produces better results, or should I be thinking in terms of more, controlled wattage? What's your preferred way to heat duel or parallel builds?

Assuming a fully charged battery at 4.2volts and a mech with 0 voltage drop (not really possible) a .7ohm load would fire at 25watts.

In reality a mech will have some voltage drop and the battery voltage will drop as its being used. So your watts will drop. You're probably not better off with a mech with the current coil setup.

Your options are to run less wraps which lowers your ohms and raises the wattage a mech can produce or leave it as is and get a higher power regulated mod and simply raise the wattage.

Although your Vamo is firing it, it is not firing it at the full 20watts. It's a Regulated safety thing.

Thanks guys. I've got a Fuhattan and some 26 kanthal on the way so all I need to do now is hang out and learn to perfect my builds. I knew I had to keep it fairly high to fire it on the Vamo and I see what you're saying about the limitations of a regulated device. I opted for an inexpensive mod with good magnets/switch and from there, my builds should be my biggest limitation. Gotta start somewhere!
