Kanthal Wire 24 vs 28

[Vulcano]

Hello everybody...

I have been doing my own coils in a Veritas, getting around 1 Ohm with Kanthal 28, without any issue...

I got last week Kanthal 24, and I did a coil of 0.8 Ohms for the same Veritas, using the same Mod (Cloupor T5) I noticed that with the 28 it "fires" as soon as I push the button and I hear the poping noise from the e-liquid, but when I use the 28, it delays about 2 to 3 seconds after I push the button to start hearing the e-liquid poping....

Is it normal? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help, and happy vaping...

The thicker wire takes a bit more time to heat up, as it has less resistance.

Thank you, that makes sense!

I take it you're not building dual parallel coils... but rather a single. Although the Veritas can be a bit of a pain to build duals on... with a fixture, using a single-center looped wire, it's quite a bit easier. Give it a try. ;-)

Correct, using single horizontal coil in the Veritas....

And I will have to give a try to that! Thanks

Welcome Vulcano!

You didn't realize that when you started vaping, you'd have to get a degree in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and study Fluid and Thermodynamics.....

Glad to have you here!
