Non disclosure violation. You know the drill. Send me your Strata, then go iron your hands.

Obviously I can't comment on the Strata as I don't have one, but with pretty much all rebuildables you can still get a great vape and huge clouds without needing to go SLR or dual coil. Hell, sometimes I find that a single coil vapes better, anyway. Case in point: I've got a 1.5 ohm coil in my Immo right now and my battery is almost ready to change, yet it's fogging out my living room ;-) Basically, it's more about your overall build than about any single feature. I expect the Strata will be no different in this regard
Besides, if you decide it's not for you then you'll have NO trouble finding a new home for it, so you have no need to worry ;-)
Not having any experience with the Strata yet, I can only use my imagination. I believe the Strata will perform great with normal low resistance coils in the 1-1.5 ohm range. The 360 degree airflow means you can have a single coil and expect excellent performance.
One of the downsides of the Aqua is that it's not made for single coils, although it is still doable, having two direct airflow paths would hinder performance with a single coil. I could be wrong about that assumption though. I setup the Aqua with .9 ohm dual micro coils, and it's performing really, really well. I don't even want to go lower than that. I plan on staying in that same range on the Strata with either single or dual coils, as I run 18350 batteries almost exclusively.
Fear not my friend, as the Strata will cater to vapers of many kinds!
Runnin a .9ohm on a 18350 i bet battery life is pretty short.I usually shoot for 1 -1.2ohm coils and the 350's seem to lose their "punch" in about 2hrs.
It's not too bad, I go through about 3-4 350's in a 12-16 hour day. The small stature is worth the reduced battery life to me.
Yes these are expensive but are they any good?
I plan on buying my own wire but would like some pre built coils to have ready for the Strata....... ???? Rebuildable Atomizer Coils - Avid Vaper What do you all think?
I am a rookie coil builder at best!

I have no experience with those particular ones, but any other ones I've tried would make me say NO! DON'T DO IT! NASTY NASTY NO!
But since we can assume that the wait for a Strata will be typically Super-T, I think it best for Riverboat to practice. Like me. Plenty of time.
Riverboat, do you have an el-cheapo rebuildable dripper to practice with?
The thing is, you almost never have to wrap a new coil. I change my cotton ball cotton wick with each tank. But, the coil cleans up good as new. I do new coils now and then, to just play with different gauge wire/resistances. But, I don't have to. With my hands, I would hate having to do new coils on a regular basis. If that was the case, I would be buying prebuilt coils in bulk!
Yes I do...........what is the best type of wire...Kanthal, Nichrome, ect...? What about the ribbon style vs the round wire? And what about wick material? Riverboat is lost in the RBA field.....HELP
PS. I want to build some 2.5-3.0 ohm coils for a Kicked ELA and some 1.2-1.5 ohm coil to try out at 3.7.....

imo, the type of wire doesn't matter that much if at all. Round vs Ribbon might be a different story but it's ALL subjective, including wick material. Keep it simple at first and start with the basics. For higher ohm coils use 32g or 34g, and for lower ohm use 30g or 28g.
Currently, I am vaping: round kanthal, 24g or 26g, cotton ball cotton wick, .85 ohms on my KFL's.
wow! The thickest wire I've used so far is 28g. Is 24g hard to work with? I assume this is a micro coil? How many wraps are you getting at .85 ohms and what are you wrapping it around?
My local vape shop guy was running the 24 and 26 in his KFL's. Beautiful coils that last forever. So, that is what I do now. Not hard to work with. The vape shop guy torches his first. Makes it easier. I don't torch. Yes, micro coil. Mine is around 9 wraps around my micro screwdriver bit.

I'll have to give it a try, thanks.
Question though; Does it take long for the coil to heat up with that thick of a wire, or does the micro type wrapping negate that? (micro coils seem to heat up faster)

Heats up fast. Center and out immediate. Make them tight. If you don't torch first, heat on your mod, and squeeze coils tighter together. Personally, I always meter for ohms prior to putting on the mod. Then I heat and squeeze the coils. Then I meter for ohms again.
