:rickroll: I'm sooooo happy today! Yesterday I was getting so frustrated with the flavors of my juices and just over all lack of performance of my vaping, I was using factory coils that were 2.0ohms and up.

I spent an hour working on coil builds. I didn't relize that Ohms can make a big difference. (I guess I must of missed the memo..lol ) 1.9 is my sweet spot :ohmy: I'm enjoying juices that I didn't care for a couple weeks ago, but with the 1.9ohms coil and cotton filler, what a big difference..

I just had to share :)

oh my coil build is 32 gauge wire with 5 wraps around a small flat head screw driver I had laying around. (sorry don't know the size) on the evod base

What you noticed was not the change in ohms, but the change in watts. I assume you are running a fixed-voltage source such as a standard ego or mechanical mod. The same improvement can be created with higher voltage.

At a fixed 3.7-4.2 volts and 1.9 ohms, you are running 7-9 watts or so. In a clearomizer built with 32 gauge, I certainly agree this can be a very good vape. That is almost exactly what I ran when I first started rebuilding and very close to what I run today in clearomizers (Kanger T3's then, EVODs and Protanks now)

If you get a comment here about running much lower resistance in an actual rebuildable atomizer (RBA or rda), take it with a grain of salt. That is a different ballgame which you may or may not eventually get into. If your rebuilt clearos work well for you, stick with 'em.

I use an MVP and switch between an evod and a pt mini, I actually think they are basically the same thing, just I find the evod has a tighter draw. I prefer that one most.

Ya you can say building a coil is kind of like crafting, how ever I don't "craft" unless you call painting a room or remodeling a kitchen or bathroom "crafting" lol that's more my speed.

I don't think it's fiddling. It's more like I wanted to learn to replace my own coils and save more money, I just didn't know that different size ohms can mean a totally different vape. but to each their own right :)

Congratulations Sue. The discovery that vaping is more about temperature and therefore better approximates a craft like cooking is HUGE!. It is in fact both.

For perfecting the art of your next soufflé may I recommend...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/486794-protank-microcoil-discussion.html...a center for clearomizer microcoil perfection where new taste discoveries are made every day. Because in the end we need the right culinary tools to tap that favorite flavor for the gusto.

And a medium for the recipe like this can be achieved in seconds…

Many accomplished vapers have passed through the swinging doors in that kitchen.

We'll see ya there.

Good luck.

:)
