First attempt at a 26g twist build - opinions?

[MattyVigilante]

Hey guys,

Just had my first attempt at a 26g 4 strand twist coil. It's a 6 wrap build showing a 0.24 ohms. Just looking for some opinions before I fire it, I've checked for hot spots and its glowing beautifully. Is there too much cotton on there? Does it look right?

All opinions welcome, I'm just kinda chuffed because I've been trying to build a coil that I find easy to build and install and so far this is by far the easiest for me My stupidly big hands make making small coils a nightmare!

Cheers in advance

(Haven't decided on what juice I want to try first yet, hence the fact that it's dry!)

That's a regulated mod, so what you really have to verify is that the batteries you use can handle to power your mod might demand.
If it's sony vtc4 you are in good hands.
If it's protected icr, you got a problem

Everything looks in order to me, nicely wicked and nicely coiled, the kbox200 should be able to handle the .24 build easily with any 20A set of batteries. Just dont fire above 4.8v or 90watts

The batteries by the way are LG 3000 mah 3.7 volts, should be fine shouldn't it?

all about the amps, but yes those are 20 amp batteries continuous drain.... so as long as you dont go above 4.8volts or 96 watts on that build you wont strain your batteries. This site is a very good place to go when you start experimenting with the low end spectrum of sub-ohming.

The build looks nice. But you really should get some VTC4's for that 200W mod. I'm guessing that build will laugh at anything under 100W.

No he should have a perfect vape around 75-85 watts according to Steam engine

those battery's should charge to 4.2v and it's when they are @ their lowest is when higher wattage becomes a problem, do you vape over 120 watts ?

Never more than 120w really I only have the kbox 200 so I have the option really

If you keep it under 120w your battery's will thank you, especially @ half drained and lower......................

 

[MattyVigilante]

Yeah that's no problem, already found a lovely sweet spot of 75w

That will work fine for calculating amp draw for unregulated devices. Use this one for VW mods.

Assuming the mod uses the batteries in series and the low voltage cutoff is 6.4V like a lot of series VW boxes, I'd suggest not exceeding 115W. You can go 150W on a fresh charge but the amp draw increases as the battery voltage decreases. Here's how it looks at 6.4V of battery input voltage.

Important to note that atomizer resistance has no bearing on battery current drain in a VW mod. Only the power setting and realtime battery voltage determine the amp draw from the batteries. You can adjust the atomizer resistance in this tool and notice the battery current drain will not change.

People People People, He has found his sweet spot vaping range at 75w which is well below the threshold of his batteries capabilities of a .24 ohm build. I would venture to say that this thread is case closed lol.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out with this, I'm really happy with this build and have already made 2 more of the coils to carry round spare in my vape kit
Tons of flavour and just the right amount of vapor for me, if you are thinking of trying a new, simple build I can only recommend this one!
