do mech mods use more juice?

^ see title

Im using a k100 with an igo w and im wondering if i builded wrong because i have to use a lot of juice to prevent burnt taste from my cotton wick is this normal?

What resistance is your coil? And are you having to drip way before liquid stops being saturated?

I have no idea im still new to this but I think the guy who make it for me said .9 and no i dont think so, it just cant be dry

That's dependent on your battery's charge and the resistance of your coil. A micro coil with a cotton wick will generally eat up juice faster than most standard clearos/cartos. If you're getting more vapor, the chances are you're using more juice.

Another thing with cotton is that it disperses the juice equally throughout the wick, so you're going to have juice sitting at the ends of the wick that can't really do much. With silica I think the juice is drawn toward the coil by the heat, but I could very well be wrong about this.

It's RBA's that use more juice, not the mod. Especially sub-ohm RBA's. It's a trade-off. The mod is just your power source. What the atty does with that power and how it manages juice is the question. This gets into wicking and coiling, which is really where the juice consumption happens.

Basically the larger the cloud ... the more juice is used.
You can set up an RDA any way you want. How you wrap the coil/wick, and the size of the air holes can make all the difference in the world.
It's fun learning all the different things you can do with RDA's, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

same reason a 4 cylinder motor gets better gas mileage than a V-10 RDA's provide more vaporizing power than an Evod type of tank. Heavier denser Vape clouds are a result of higher volume of juice vaporized...

Vape at a higher ohm.

You really need a multimeter. The fact that the guy at the store just built you a .9ohm coil and let you leave is just irresponsible.

Mechanical mods are not for beginners, especially people that are new to RBAs. It is imperative that you know the resistance of a coil before firing it on a mech. What if your coil gets loose? Or goes bad?

This!!!
And battery safety!!!

I agree entirely... You need to do some research on resistance. Sub ohm coils with the wrong batteries can be dangerous. I have seen mechanical mods become smoke bombs in peoples hands due to bad wiring and not checking coils prior to use. If you don't Check the resistance your playing with fire.... Literally. I would get an ohm checker or multi meter and in the beginning use coils above 1 ohm. Once you get the hang of it then build what you want. Find the right battery for what resistance level you are building to be safe. Good luck and happy vaping.

is there a link to know about resistance around these forums? i can't seem to find one
