Hello,
Thanks in advance for any advice or constructive criticism. I tried to underline the most relevant info so its easy to review info. Set-up at bottom.
Ive been vaping for a bit now, and im looking for advice regarding building a dual coil in a IGO W4 for sub-ohm vaping. A while ago I went from my Ego-C Twist with an evod, to a Chi You clone set-up and never looked back. As my interest has progressed, Im now looking into an rda. Im picking up the IGO W4 in the next few days in the hopes of running it on the Chi You at .5 ohms.
Ive watched/read a TOOOOOON of the "intro to sub ohm vaping", "battery safety", etc, etc. and lurked various forums for a bit, but i still have a few questions :
I plan on buying using 28g Kanthal and cotton to build two 1 ohm micro coils, which will operate at .5 ohms. My main question is, should i use 28g? I commonly see people using 26-28g when vaping that low, but would that only apply to a single coil at .5 ohms? Or would I use a thinner gauge (30, 32? idk just spit balling?)I know that what I decide on could greatly effect vape quality. Im hoping to not run it to the point where it drys up/vapes burnt if not completely saturated. (or the opposite effect with too thick of Kanthal)
Next, I plan on expanding the air holes on the IGO W4 to 2mm. Will this fit what im doing but also be a versatile enough size to use if I change things up?
My set-up is (WILL BE) : Chi You Clone/ AW or Efest 18650, 2000mah, 10 amp limit/IGO W4. On my Ohm Calc it should would at .5 ohms, but im mainly concerned with whether ill burn my liquid, or have an undesirable vape. AAAAND just to double check myself
I will be using a Multimeter and proper materials/safety when doing this all. Thank you.
Sorry if I left out any important info. Any questions will be answered promptly.
Lastly, see any room for improvement? Im always open to suggestions.
