personally I haven't perfected my vertical and I need to spend more time with it but I'm so loving the horizontal micros in the kayfun I don't find the urgency to play with verticals...
I know that the first dual I did looked crazy but it really vaped great even at 12 watts, 2 second heat up then 6-7 second pull and I'm getting a really really nice thick tasty vape. I compare it side by side to my 20 watt duals in my cyclone and the biggest difference is how fast it is... the cyclone I take a 3-4 second hit and that's it where the big long duals I'd take 2 second heat up then 6-7 second draw, but the actual vape, pretty damn similar, both rich warm thick and flavorful, just one does it in 3-4 seconds where the other takes 8-9 seconds... one does it with a big open airy hit where the other is more of a long softer type draw, ones sipping and the other is gulping
this is the biggest difference between high and low power, a high powered vape will be much quicker big open air inlets and only take a short hit and instant big clouds, where a lower power will need more time and longer tighter softer draws... obviously a high powered vape will produce more vapor but it's not just more it's more in a much shorter time
anyway, the 12 watt limitation was just screwing with my head and even though it was a really good vape I wanted to speed things up a bit and raise the power a bit so I redid it with less length coils... this is dual 18's... this thing really rocks, heatup at 15 watts is instant and the vape is really nice
and here is how I wick this
and the last thing I do once it's all buttoned up is push the 2 coils closer together so the air is forced between the coils
as good as the loong coils were, this is just better. instant heat up and 15 watts no problem and it's wicking well no problem and it is good good good
36 wraps and it hits awesome, taste and vape quality is spot on, honestly I think this is going to wind up being my go to setup from now on in this kayfun give or take a few wraps eventually I'll play with verticals again but verticals never gave me awesome so far where this one def does
as a point of reference my cyclone right now at 20 watts is running dual 13 wrap coils for 26 wraps total and honestly I rarely go with less than that on any vv/vw device, only time I need to go down to 10 wraps or less is on a mech mod. I find I get a richer more flavorful and less harsh vape with longer coils that are well over 10 wraps each
oh and you can see here that I try to get pretty close to the air hole. I like to get as close as I can because I think it causes the air to spread around the coil more and the more air flow that actually passes over the coil itself hugging the surface of the coil the better the vape in my opinion, I think the duals forcing the air to a slot between them also helps this air flowing over coil surface. this reduces throat hit and increases flavor I think but of course you can't get too close or it chokes and wicks fluid to the air hole. I'd say play around with it and get as close as you can without the draw tightening up and it starting to gurgle and get fluid in the air passage.
