Dual coil rda rebuild technique help

[Jsreb]

I'm new to the forum but not to vaping. I started with cig-alikes and never was satisfied. Eventually moved to a bigger battery with protank 2. Still love this setup. My newest is a magneto with igo-w and 30amp rated 18650 battery. My igo-w is drilled out to 1/16" and has highly improved airflow.
I've built a few coils using 28g kanthal with my mech so far: one setup just using ceramic wick and tested at about .7ohms, second setup is a dragon coil with cotton wick tested at .6ohms. Both work great but I've noticed especially with the dragon coil, that I have to re-drip after only a couple hits. It's frustrating.

I'm looking for a more efficient setup that doesn't demand such frequent dripping. What's your favorite dual coil setup using 28 gauge kanthal (or 32g) with ceramic or cotton wick?

i use twisted 28 or 30 kanthal and silica wick for my builds
works great!

More vapor that you put out means your using more juice, So it's a trade off system really, not entirely a bad thing for most. Just a regular dual micro coil setup at around 1.0 or little less will work just fine. 28g seems to be the all around setup.

Try more wraps for a higher resistance, sub ohming just drinks your juice. It's the v8 of vaping, you gotta pay for power =]

You're all probably right. Sub ohming does burn through juice fast. I'm just amazed at how fast it's gone. I just rebuilt it with ceramic and so far it seems to be more efficient than the dragon coil even at .5ohms. I'm not sure how to build higher ohm coils (1.2+) with 28g kanthal. Next build I'll try my 32g.

My coils were wrapped 14 times around a sewing needle for the dragon coil build. Still tested at .6-.7ohms. Probably need to avoid micro coils and make them larger.

lol, yeah I find dripping frustrating too, more work than needed IMO. That's why I prefer rba's all the way. Fill tank, vape till empty, fill again, repeat. Can get every bit of flavor, vape quantity, and vape satisfaction, out of a good rba as one can achieve on a rda. Drippers are good for sampling juices, but pretty much all I use one for. Had to try one to insure that I wasn't missing out on anything, only thing I missing out was having to drip juice on my wick repeatedly.

What's a good rba to use on the magneto? Possibly something that is flexible for modification (unlike the protank)
