Tebecco rda clone
Nemesis clone
dual 24 gauage kanthal 7 wraps
And organic cotton
Plz help

Ps. Plz recommebd a good build with 24 gauge kanthal because tht is the only thing i have atm :(

What ohm is this build putting out? What device are you running it on?
If it's a regulated device, what wattage/voltage are you running?

You should be at around 0.8 ohms with that build. I use 24g at 3 or 3.5mm diameter, which should be 0.6 or 0.7 depending on what I'm using it on, at around 30w and flavor is great. What rda clone are you using specifically? Tobecco is the manufacturer. Try to install the coil closer to the air holes, so that more air passes over the coil. That'll allow you to go higher in power, and also get more flavor out of it. Maybe get some 26g and build a bigger coil. You can get it by the foot really cheap on ebay just to try out but even 50' of kanthal is only like 5 bucks.

Hi J and welcome to ECF. Which RDA are you using? Is this your first experience with RDAs or have you built others successfully?

He mentioned using a nemesis clone (single 18650 mech), what he didn't mention is the diameter of the core, so I'm assuming 3mm
24 AWG 7 wraps on 3mm core should be around .65 ohms and he mentioned having it in a dual coil setup which would be half of that ~.32 ohms which would put him at around 55 watts and a 13-ish amp draw.
That would be an okay-ish build.. I wouldn't recommend going much lower than that on a single 18650. Like others have said make sure the coils are lined up exactly with the airflow slots and close enough so that air doesn't just go straight up and actually has to hit the coil. Also do not stuff the wick under the coil, only have them touching the bottom of the juice-well on the sides.. if you block the air around the coil with your wick, it will impact performance severely. Depending on your RDA more specific advice can be given.. Also make sure your battery is rated for at least 20 amp continuous draw and that it's fully charged.

Do you not have something that can read resistance? An ohm checker or multi meter? Did you build the coil and install it yourself, or did someone else do it?

I do not have a ohm reader its prob around .3
Could u recommend me a good build with 24 gauage
Also i made it myself and installed it

This is my first one im using a velocity clone with a nemesis mod

First, if you're going to be using a mechanical mod you need an ohms reader. The one I linked to is only $10 which is a fairly good deal. The problem is that the watts your build makes is totally dependent on the ohms so in order to get the vape you want you need to know what the ohms really are. It will also allow you to know there are no shorts in the build and that you're not pulling too many amps from the battery so you stay safe.

Here is a video which shows a good build on the Velocity and how the two air flow options work. I find it best to keep the coils right in front of the air flow openings which in this case means you can see them through the lower slots. It is important not to have the coils touching the inside of the RDA cap or you'll have a short and could cause the battery to vent which can get dangerous. The ohms reader is the final check to make sure that does not happen. I would close off the upper holes to start with and experiment with the slots first. The more power, which means the lower your resistance, the more opening you'll want and the more air you will need to pull over the coils. 0.7 ohms will give you about 20 watts and will require you to take lung inhales instead of pulling into your mouth and then inhaling it, to get that airflow needed. 0.4 ohms is about 35 watts and will require more air movement to get the best from it. Opening up the air slots makes it easier to move more air.

HTH.

I am assuming the same problem I had. high pg juice? not sure if unicorn blood by fusion vapor is high pg I mean it looked pretty damn watery to me but I dropped it in my mutation xs little vapor and practically no flavor where as in a tank it did really well. just got a new RDA the archon by cloud chasers inc yesterday dripped some vg based juice flavor is good, clouds is good. I mean I'm pretty new myself so my coil building and wicking ain't the greatest. you also need to play around with the air flow for flavor

First of all, welcome to the forum. This is a great community that can offer help with almost anything you run into, and a great place to learn. There is a ton of information here.

I really try not to be rude to new members, but sometimes there needs to be a little tough love. That being said, DO NOT USE THIS SETUP! You do not know what you are doing....at all. With your level of knowledge, you are basically playing with a pipe bomb. I am not sure who, or what, made you think that this is the best setup for you, but it's not...yet.

You ABSOLUTELY NEED AN OHM METER! Its not an option, its not something nice to have, it doesn't just makes things easier, IT KEEPS YOU FROM BLOWING YOUR FACE OFF.
