Dragon coil v. Micro coil?

[Mastermatt63]

Hey guys, I have a nimbus rda and was wondering what the difference is between a dragon coil and a micro coil? I plan on doing a dual micro coil for my next build, but should I consider a dragon dual coil setup? What are the differences? Hoping to achieve around .7-.9 ohms for my itaste svd. Thanks!

i dont think that you can go that low on the svd i believe it has a 1.2ohm cutoff. and as far as the coils they are basically the same. the dragon coil is considered a nano coil because it is smaller. it is personally what i use buy that doesnt mean it is better by any means. basically just do what you would like to do.

Never tried micro coil myself, only 0.5 ohms dual dragon setup with great success, vape beautifully.

Have you tried subohms on svd before, because I believe it wouldn't fire below 1.2 ohms

It's not the same concept between micro and dragon coil, cotton thread through the micro coil but the dragon you lay a cotton at bottom of atomizer and press the coil onto.

I'd caution against serious sub-ohming below 0.8 ohms personally. But yeah. Basically a nano is coiled around a pin, needle or something smaller. I think there's a chart somewhere on the forum with strict classification guidelines for micro, nano, etc. coils based on their inner diameter and length, but I personally think it's nit picking bs. With dragon, like Sickkboy said, its a nano coil which is unthreaded and instead rests on or is wrapped on the outside with cotton giving careful attention to keeping the ends of the coil open and keeping it around the same height as the air hole is a good idea. Micros, since they're a bit bigger are easer to thread but you can do the same dragon process of leaving them unthreaded and resting &/or wrapping the outside of the coil in cotton. You should try a microcoil, throw some cotton inside the coil and after a couple days when the cotton should be changed out anyway, try the dragon set up with the coil hollow/unthreaded.

The advantage with each of these set ups in my opinion is being able to keep the same coil going for weeks at a time and just replacing the wick & when you do dry-burning the crud off the coil to clean it.

true that. i guess i should think a little more before i speak. i myself do use a dragon coil. and i love it

Don't worry gregamite, you just want to help fellow vaper as soon as you could.

Thanks for the help everyone! I'm gonna go with the micro coil for now. Got my needle and wire, just gotta pick up some organic cotton. I was thinking about just buying some medical-grade cotton wrapping at CVS though. Any other suggestions?

+1 for the big wad of cotton batton from cvs... I myself can't get the flavor I want( I squonk now on an hh357/ slant coil from vapage) but it's your safest, best and most economical bet. Thirty different wicks and I've barely touched it ha

I love my Provari and my HH.357


---Mastermatt- use organic cotton balls

here is a GREAT VID -- Dino is the master of building starts at 21:00 time Kayfun RBA micro coil with with Organic Cotton Wick! - YouTube

I know I may be behind the herd on this one, but just adding my on the cotton convo. there's a whole lot of talk about organic vs. sterile cotton and here are my own findings:

1. organic cotton in some cases is still bleached with hydrogen peroxide for whitening. in the case of the CVS organic, it says it in very small print on the front of the bag. so, instead adding any dosage of hydrogen peroxide to my vaping experience, I went with the most logical (at the time) option...sterile cotton. genius, right?

2. sterile cotton SHOULD be safe was my own thinking. if I can put it on my wounds, I should be safe. but in reality, "sterile" simply means free from microorganisms, not free from chemicals, which is one of the many reasons I stopped smoking! however I noticed that with the sterile cotton, it too had a "funny" taste to it prior to it burning off. after doing some digging around I decided to just boil to be on the uber paranoid, cautious side. upon adding my first fistful of cotton to my boiling cauldron, it not only boiled up and over the sides of the pot, but it developed a slight film, similar to when you're boiling pasta. I also noticed that when I poured the boiled cotton water out, there was a very strong sterile hospital smell in the steam. what did I do? I boiled the hell out of it until there was no more emergency room smell (5 boiling/rinse rounds) and VOILA...no more funny taste. of course my cotton doesn't look so purrty anymore, but that's fine.

now maybe you knew this already. if so, awesome!!! if not, I hope it helps you and someone else who is new to the cotton revolution (yes, we still exist...I've only been using cotton for going on 3 weeks now). I'm sure it will be eons before I ever need to boil another batch of cotton, but it is now a mandatory step in my process going forward. you never can be too safe...

again, I hope it helps!!

peace.
