Heat flux and Heat capacity steam engine help

[Cloudhound]

Hey guys, I've been after an answer on this and figured I'd turn to the geniuses for some help.
1. On steam engine, are there optimal heat flux and heat capacity numbers you're after?
2. Or is it a "set to taste" subjective endeavor?
3. Are the numbers a measure of coil efficiency?
I can't seem to put the numbers in any sort of context and they start to seem troubling with some theoretical dual coil nickel builds, ie the heat flux becomes very low (at lower wattage).

I'm not a physicist, a chemist, or an electrician so be easy on me. I would love to get a really good answer on this though.

Thanks for the help!

Entirely subjective. Although most like a heat flux in the 150-250 range... above 350 you start to get a pretty warm vape. the little colored flame beside it in steam engine give you and idea of how warm it'd be.

Here's a link to one of State o' Flux's blogs on heat flux and Steam Engine. Hopefully that will give you some pointers. Nickle wire isn't mah thing so I am of little or no help on that subject, sorry!

1. On steam engine, are there optimal heat flux and heat capacity numbers you're after? This is a matter of preference, but the need can vary by atomizer and juice.
2. Or is it a "set to taste" subjective endeavor? Everything about building a atomizer is about your own desires
3. Are the numbers a measure of coil efficiency? YES

Do some reading on STATEOFFLUX's blogs.. This will help understand what you are seeing on the Engine.
