going from a VV/VW MVP to Mech mod coil questions

[Argo2013]

so I recently purchased a K100 Mech mod, I have a Trident rda on my MVP v2 that I have a 2.0 ohm coil using 32 gauge, when using the same rda with the same coil on my Mech mod it doesn't seem to produce as well as on the MVP. should I be using 30 or 28 gauge with Mech mods?

A lower ohm coil will give you better performance on your mech.

Gauge doesn't really matter, but I like 30g.

So what would be a decent ohm for a mech mod coil? between 1 and 2 or less than 1?

I use .7ohm micro coils built on a 5/64 drill bit with 28ga. good vapor, good taste and pretty good battery life.

just to be safe, what batteries are you using with the k100?

Us good batteries and I usually stay under 1 ohm dual coils I hit about .2 .3 ohms .5 to .6 ohms on single on a mechanical the lower the better to me imo

for singles I stay around .6-.7

dual .4-.5 but again batteries need to be able to handle it

using these batteries

about how many wraps around the 5/64 drillbit is that?

guess I've just been a little hesitant with making some sub-ohm coils

Stick with coils wrapped between .7 and 1.5-1.8 ohms. IIRC those e fest batts have a 10 amp limit so a .7 ohm should be a leave a good buffer zone. Also since you have a mech I recommend picking up a higher amp battery like a Sony vtc4 just to be on the safe side.

For me, I have a trident clone RDA and I like dual coils, 30ga kanthal wrapped 4/5 times around a 1/16 drill bit. Comes out to 1.4-1.5 ohms for a single coil, and almost always exactly .7 ohms for duals. Then instead of wicking I put a cotton cloud under each coil and liberally soak them.

The coil ohms will depend a lot on your battery. The amp limit will dictate how low you can build a coil. Since you're new to mechs a good starting place for your coil build is either a .09 or 1ohm coil. The maximum coil ohm I recommend is 1.2 or 1.3 ohm.

Coil guage only affects the type of vape you get, and how fast the coil heats up. Check out "riptrippers" on you tube. He's the coil king. Everything I've learned about coils, and coil building comes from him.
