Help RDA problems Tulsa peeps

[TwistedLogic]

Im new to RDAs and have viewed just about every video possible to help assist me. Ive tried just about everything and cant seem to get it right at all! The local vape shops cant help with builds do to insurance reasons, so this leaves me stuck with a mech mod and an igo-w paper weight. I just need to see how its done right! So if anyone can assist me in this id be more than.thankful!

Edit....

I have viewed just about every thread on here. Its gotta be something in my build technique!

I have an Igo L that works great. I take a 20 gauge syringe needle and wrap a coil using 30 gauge kanthal wire around it 16 times. Make sure the coils don't overlap as you're wrapping. Then I push them together. Then I hold them together with a pair of tweezers and torch them with a micro torch until they stick together. You can use a regular lighter as well. This works out to a 3.7 ohm coil. If you have a mechanical you'll get a better ohm of around 1.7 by just using 28 gauge kanthal. Everything else above applies.

Then I bend the 2 wires coming of the coils to form a u shape and slip on on the center post and the other on the side post. Tighten the screws down and trim off the remaining wire. I then get about an inch long block of organic cotton. I roll it until it forms a point. Wet the point with your tongue and slip it through the coil. Trim off extra cotton and push the rest in the cup. Saturate the cotton with juice. Test it to see if its producing vapor. Put top cap on and your set.

Special note : You should check the ohms with a variable voltage device, multimeter, or whatever. Make sure you fall into the safety zone on a vaping chart like this http://www.newthinktank.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Vaping-Power-Chart.png

I hope that helps

This is the guy that showed me how to wrap coils https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OTsgNOASnw&list=TLrq6s5psR4m65mH7lIAqFZqZf9IJq4HQH

What gauge wire and wick are you using?

 

[The Goo]

Where exactly are you falling short when building your coils? Also, what gauge wire are you using?

 

[TwistedLogic]

Ive been making micro coils and also using cotton. I have a whole spool of 30g and have tried 5 to 12 wraps and it produces light vapor and.light flavor at 3.7v. How many wraps would you reccomend for 30g on my igo? Is dual a better option?

 

[TwistedLogic]

1/8 airholes cuz i was running .3 ohm dual coils built by the shop i got it from.

1/8 airholes cuz i was running .3 ohm dual coils built by the shop i got it from.

and what kind of mod/battery are you trying to run this on? at 14 amps/60 watts on a mechanical no regular battery can power this.

 

[TwistedLogic]

Smoktech magneto, 18650 imr.

 

[TwistedLogic]

Why is dual coils at .3 hard to believe? Maybe im saying it wrong?

 

[Thrasher]

Smoktech magneto, 18650 imr.

if your just using regular imr your way beyond the amp limits meaning the battery is most likely choking, and dangerously over its limit. most standard high drain batteries stop at 10 amps lol. after that your in pipebomb territory. if this isnt one of the ultra high amp batteries, good chance the internal resistance is struggling to power this thing. not very hard to understand why a store wants nothing to do with this.

not hard to believe, just hard to understand why anyone would try to draw enough wattage to light your bedroom 10 mm from your face lol

I want the actual battery brand and type before I tell you more than, you shouldn't be running 12 Amps on a lot of batteries. I like to keep my current output around half of what the continuous current rating is.

Edit-Ah. you win thrasher. I yield unto you..

 

[TwistedLogic]

Im not running that setup anymore, its gone! (it blew up) jk. But the shop built it sub ohm not me and at .3 that thing ripped and never had issues. Any way the battery is a EH high drainn 3.7v 2250mAh 18650. They used 28g kanthal 3 wraps on each coil.

 

[TwistedLogic]

I just cant find a sweet spot with this 30g with cotton. Flavor nor vaper id there. Using 100% vg.

 

[suspectK]

Another shop built subohm coil..nice. I'm going to stop there before going into an angry rant.

That battery is only rated for 10 Amps.. put down subohm builds until you know more about battery safety paired up with a little ohm's law.

[TwistedLogic]

I totaly understand that all! Theres a reason im not using that setup anymore... cuz i found out that it was pushin .3 and i dont like to go under .8 myself. i was basically telling you that so youd understand the hole size.. i appreciate you guys and your respected very well by me for watching out for me. My mane concern is this is my first build using 30g and just need to know how many wraps to get this to produce.

 

[Thrasher]

got to let the cotton soak for a long time to get real wet. and make sure its not too tight in the coils.

 

[TwistedLogic]

Talkin micro coils

 

[TwistedLogic]

I have a good idea of the cotton fitment. But how long are you saying to wait after you first wet it with juice?

 

[TwistedLogic]

Thanks for watchin out
