I am pretty new to vaping and building. So far I have only built sub ohms. I have heard that lower vw box mods shine with 1+ ohm builds. After many many builds, and much wasted kanthal, I have found my sweet spot for my mech mod. But now I am looking for a solid build for my vw device. I was hoping to expedite it a bit by getting some suggestions. I also had a few questions...


Do you get better flavor with single coil build?
Why is +1 ohms builds better for lower watt box mods? Or is that even true?


Here is what I have to work with....

dna 40 box mod
Plume Veil 1.5 clone
Tugboat v2
24,26,28 kanthal
1/8, 3/32, 5/64, 3/64 screw drivers and 15 gauge blunt syringe
I do not have a drill for twisted coils

I really want a warm vape. I cannot stand cool vapes. Cloud production I really do not care about. Thanks for taking the time read this. Any help would be appreciated.

Use Steam Engine to determine what the heat flux (HF) heat capacity (HC) and wattage output values are... for this build.

Once you've determined what your HF / HC / W "sweet spot" is, develop a higher resistance build that duplicates those representative values.
Heat flux is the value of radiant heat, expressed in milliwatts per millimeter squared. Heat capacity is the value representing how fast (or slow) a build reaches full temperature.
The Steam Engine heat flux (HF) variable is your friend. Click on the first two sigline hyperlinks below... and start reading. In particular, pay attention to the "part two" users guide article.

Once you understand what heat flux and heat capacity are, and how to manipulate wire gauge, resistance and parallel coil count against wattage output, you can replicate your "sweet spot" HF radiant heat and HC values... with "above-ohm" builds and lower output current.
