I do not know why MT#3 has to be so beastly. Perhaps because he's painted black. I really prefer prefer my atomizers stainless, the way God intended, and maybe he thinks I am prejudiced or something. MT#1 is such an obedient child he's still wearing the very first build I ever put in an MT-- parallel Kanthal 28s it was-- after more than a month. I'm sure the coils and wicks are nappy, but he's still vaping like the "Little Engine That Could" and I don't have the heart to take him apart. #3 is another matter. I built him the day I got him-- that one was 26/32 Kanthal Claptons-- and he did ok. I thought we were going to get along fine. But I pulled him apart to build him with parallel 28 SS316s because I wanted to test him alongside the Advken Ωega with an identical build. (That Advken is a he11uva tank, folks, for all I bought it by mistake. Seriously. I don't hear a lot of talk about it, but I can recommend it. I like the MT slightly better; it's a tiny bit cloudier and has bigger juice channels. But that Advken is a he11uva tank. If you like the MT/Mutank, you'd like it.) And #3 did ok, when he was working. But he laid down on the job on me, for some reason. His resistance wanted to fluctuate for some reason, and this gave RX#2's TC circuit a headache. Sometimes it worked perfectly; sometimes it didn't work at all. In the beginning, I had to run the Advken 10 degrees hotter to get even cloud. Towards the end I had #3 pegged at 600 degrees and he wasn't making as much cloud as the Advken at 550. I still have not figured out why. I saw no reason the resistance should move around like that and, significantly in my opinion, the Advken with an identical build did not do it.
In any event, I have decided to give #3 another chance to avoid annoying me before I send him to Roxy to put him in the pile for exorcism. Here he is wearing 2 x28/32 Kanthal fused Claptons, 5/6 wrap, 3mm mandrel, for .32Ω:
And, since we were talking about coil height the other day, here's a better view:
