How can I get thicker vapor?

[SissySpike]

Nimbus DBA wrapped on dual coil 28g 2mm ekowool (torched)

Could someone translate please?

(Not being a smart-...., I'm confused about what this is)

a Nimbus is a rebuildable dripping atty. 28g means 28 gauge Kanthel wire. Ecowool is a wick material its braided silica wick vs just kind of wrapped.
Its just as good this is in code most dont understand because while there is nothing wrong with this set up. Its sub ohm dual coil. being suggested to someone who has no clue about rebuilding stuff.
These kinds of post are a little irresponsible IMO. At the very least this post should include a couple of paragraphs waring the inexperienced vapor of the risks associated with building this set up and the precautions that should be taken if you do enjoy vaping like this.

SR 510 atty on a mechanical mod with a fresh battery 60 PG/40 VG Hig VG is not necessary for clouds just quality equipment.

Seems a good deal of getting clouds of vapor have to do with:

(A) Your cartomizer
(B) The battery/mod
(C) How you draw
(D) Dripping vs. regular fill cartomizers

Best draw? Bottom fill, Vamo or similar, exhale before drawing, use a pause or three between draws.

Yet using my eGo on the go I find I get great draw and plume just using a manual VV, and exhaling, then drawing in several deep puffs.

Werkz for me!

Drippin at work! haha Just took this now when I saw the thread. More air flow is going to get you more vapor and you need to take lung hits ( in my opinion ) so that you can take a nice long draw. Im vaping with an IGo-S that I drilled another hole on. With the coil I built its running at 2.1 OHMs and i have my provari set to 5.5 volts.

While vapor clouds are fun...what's the goal? Is it because they are fun, or do you feel you are missing something? I did the vapor chase a few times. What I like now is a mixture of carto tanks and vivi novas. I have an evod and protank on the way, just to try.

I did learn that the same gear, juice, etc can give more vapor from one draw to the next simply from how you draw. Try slow and steady, you may be drawing too hard for the equipment to keep up. Just an idea.

I enjoy big wonderful clouds of flavorful vapor goodness. I say why not?

Thank you Buzzzlove. I really appreciate you explaining this to me. I agree with your comments completely.

Simple,just use a SS mesh wick in your Evod.

Direct inhale to the lungs also makes more vapor.

I had no idea that replacing a wick and coil was so easy. Is this the same concept if I was using a rebuildable atomizer like a ZAP for a provari? where does one get that metering gizmo?

Thanks!

 

[dokebilee]

Pulling out clouds with my Penelope (Dual coil), might need a weather station inside my house.

 

[SharonMM]

Why doesn't anyone just SELL replacement heads with wire mesh? I don't have steady hands, I think id have a lot of trouble trying to maneuver those tiny little parts.

I'm starting to feel a little resentful that I'm like, being excluded from a superior vaping experience because I don't have the DIY skills.

Yes ma'am, it's a conspiracy.

Seriously, I'm surprised noone has mentioned getting a non-rebuildable dripping atomizer like an LR510 Low Resistance Bridgeless 1.5ohm Atomizer (Cisco Spec) - Avid Vaper or if you want to splash the cash a HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper

These are literally plug and vape solutions to those of us with ham fists. Screw it on, put a few drops of juice, put in a drip tip, vape. Repeat until happy.

Edit - just thinking about it, you might be better going with a slightly higher resistance than the 1.5 I linked to above.

It was mentioned along with a plane old 510 standard resistance dripping atty.RBAs may not be for you so as mentioned these are off the shelf things the OP might want to try

If you mean multi meeter home depot. Harbor Freight. If you have a provari it has everything you need built in. It checks the resistance and has a error code for shorts.

So thinning the juice didn't help? Or removing a wick?

PB had a LOT of vapor on a stock EVOD.........
You PROBABLY have a wicking problem. That explains the low vapor and the burning. It's hard to tell since you didn't mention voltages. But adding VG won't solve it. I suppose you can just keep buying stuff until you find a setup that works with your juice. But it's easy to take a sample and put it in a bottle and add a drop of water and fill the EVOD and test it out.

The reason removing a single "flavor wick" is common is that it reduces "pinching" at the wick. It may increase the chance of leaking though. Particularly for a bottom coil design. The 50/50 mix you're using is too thick to wick into the coil fast enough with compressed wicks. So you need fairly low voltage so you don't burn it. A starved coil, along with lower voltage = poor vapor. Adding VG and making the juice thicker is the last thing you want to do. 50% VG should make clouds. See post #20.

Best guesses.

Well PB was vaping at 5.2v... I max out at 4.8v. I think that's a great reason for me to upgrade units, don't you?

Since posting this I'm kinda realizing that my equipment and juice are doing their job.. I think the problem is more that I recently reduced my nic levels and therefore taking longer draws, getting less TH, vaping a lot more often and probably getting sensitized to the flavors.

I just thought that if I could find a way to get my vape denser, it might be more satisfying. I really want to learn more about RBAs... First to get a better vape but also to be prepared "just in case" vaping stuff becomes less available in the future.

Thanks again for the info, all.

Just an update- I switched the head in an evod to a 2.2ohm.. I like it much better! I wasn't expecting a huge change in the vapor considering that the stock heads were 2.5 (or 2.4, I can't remember) but it totally did the trick. It's like purple haze up in here lol.

I also primed the wick with a drop .. it seems to help. I wanted to try removing a wick but I couldn't wiggle the shaft loose. I do think the wicks are wedged in pretty tight. It takes a while for them to saturate.

Sooo.. yeah. Just thought I'd share.

 

[Ken_A]

Glad you were able to figure it out Sharon.

 

[AttyPops]

I'm using 50/50 mostly... If I turn up the voltage I get a burnt taste.

I'm surprised that it doesn't burn then due to ^^^^ comment from before, but regardless, I'm glad the new head works for ya. Could be cleaner wicks help too, IDK. There's another poster in this thread that had burning too so maybe removing a wick will help him.

Good vape wishes to all.

My kanger mt3 produces more vapor than my Evod don't know why but it does.
