Hey guys I have a quick question. Someone gave me an AGA-TD Dual Coil Rebuildable Atomizer. I have watched many youtube vids on building mesh coils but one question I can't seem to find an answer for is: What determines the ohms you get when you build a mesh coil for a genesis style atty?


The reason for my question. I have seen them use 316 Stainless Steel /400 Mesh and 28 or 30 gauge Kanthal A-1 Wire and the ohms are extremely low (below 1.0). My mod (Vamo V3) allows 1.5 to 5.0 ohms of Resistance. What do I need to use to make a 2.0 (or so) ohm Dual Coil Mesh Build?


Thx.

Use higher gauge Kanthal like 32 to start and maybe an extra wrap. A lot of factors will affect the Ohm's but it's not hard to build a two Ohm coil, and much safer to vape with anyway, and won't get you more or less vape regardless. Just because you can make clouds with low ohm coils doesn't mean it vapes better. In fact, just for fun, I've built some ridiculous coils and make big clouds. As long as you don't care about flavor, whether the throat hit actually hurts you or not, not to mention looking ridiculous in public, go for it. but if you're a normal vaper a 5/4 or 4/3 wrap with 32 kanthal should get you into the 1.8 to 2.2 Ohm range without much trouble. Watch your spacing, eliminate hot spots, and you can make a good coil that will last a good while. Practice makes perfect, and the more you experiment the more you'll realize that it's not really very hard. Please test your Ohms BEFORE you fire the coil. The wrong batteries and the wrong resistance can cause catastrophic failure, and there's absolutely no reason for it. Just be careful, patient, do everything in order and as per instructed, and you shouldn't have any problems at all.
