God mod 180 cloud builds?

[Asquad]

I've been trying different builds on the god mod for cloud chasing. Right now I've got quad vertical coils @ .5 ohms in the 454,and boy was it a pita to build. Not much room, and I have the negative leads under the ring wrapped around the screws. I managed to fit a wide bore tip from the dark horse on it and have the bottom afc ring off. So far this is my favorite setup, and it cranks up to 180watts. Any one with suggestions on attys and builds?

You don't specify the wire gauge used... which is critical (from this perspective) to best efficiency. If you were to (arbitrarily) limit the heat flux (HF) to under 400 mW/mm2, then the most efficient gauge for your build would be 28.

28 gauge would, at 0.5Ω net resistance / 180 watts, provide a HF of 399 mW/mm2, a heat capacity (HC) of 29.5 mJ/K and a nicely low leg power loss of under 2%. Unless you lower resistance, as the gauge decreases and net wire mass increases, your HF gets cooler and HC (time-to-temperature) increases.

Without knowing: What you have available to you for wire, or if you want to continue at 180 watts, or if you want to continue with quad parallel builds and not go lower than your current net resistance... or even what you're using for juice, it's hard to offer useful suggestions.

thanks for the reply. i use steam engine religiously , and your guides are awesome. . Im using 28 now at 9 wraps 3mm i.d. lol. pretty much the same build you just mentioned .I have several sizes of wire and ribbon. I mostly wanted to see what other people were doing with their god mod.
