IPV3 Higher Watt Build Advice

[cryfreedom66]

Hey guys,

picked up an ipv3 last weekend and im loving it. Really a whole new world from my mechs. Right now I have a 26g dual coil setup in a mutation X, reading .37 ohms. I can only push this to about 50w and even then it starts to taste a little burnt, 45w is the sweet spot. It is a fine build, lots of flavor and clouds, just curious...what kind of build would I need to start pushing the watts closer to the 100 range?

Would a dual coil twisted 26g build do it? or should i pick up some 24g or lower?

Just curious what you all are doing to push the watts.

Thanks!

No takers eh? ;-)

You can use the Steam Engine coil modelling software (see red sigline hyperlink below) to 'build' your rda for a 'desired' wattage output value... using the 'Heat Flux' (radiant temperature) as your constant.

Your current heat flux, using 0.37Ω with a 26 gauge dual parallel build and an output of 45 watts... is 269 mW/mm² (milliwatts per square mm). As you are satisfied with that tempeature - including any objective and subjective variables - we'll use that HF value area (plus/minus 10 mW/mm²), as our target.

Keep in mind... for a given wattage, thicker wire requires a lower resistance and thinner wire a higher resistance... to stay within a partricular HF range.

So... some dual parallel build examples - with a 2.5mm mandrel (coil ID) and 5mm leg lengths as our constants - and using an 85 watt output setting:

• Using 22 gauge wire at 0.17Ω, the heat flux will be 275 mW/mm².
• Using 24 gauge wire at 0.34Ω, the heat flux will be 276 mW/mm².
• Using 28 gauge wire at 1.4Ω , the heat flux will be 269 mW/mm²... however, as the wrap count of 16/15 for a 2.5mm mandrel may be physically impractical, we can increase that to 3mm for a 14/13 wrap count, or 3.5mm for a 12/11 count.

22g 6 wrap sits well at 90 to 100 watts. or 224 wrap quad. and lastly 26g parallel sits at 120 quite well!
