Moonshot 22mm 40W build

[botakchek]

Hi, just wondering if anybody is using their moonshot for a low power build? I got my moonshot on the nugget currently and been vaping a 26g dual 7 wrap 3mmm ID N80@40W and the flavour is not bad.

Trying to see if anybody else sticks any other build in their moonshot @ low wattages.

40w is not low wattage vaping. but with the inefficient coils being all the rage now day it may seem like it.

dual 28 gauge 2 strand parallel bump to 27 gauge if you want it a lil warmer. 3mm diameter. I run it around 45 watts in the Mutanks and the moonshot.

For a rowdier vape bump the strand numbers to 3 or 4 and adjust wraps for your preferred resistance. These ones vape nice in the 50-60 watt ranges.

Wattage is only a brute force attack for vapor production.

@Tagi , thanks for the response. I've only got 26g N80, 26g KA1 and 24g KA1 at the moment. Any recommendations? I like a warm vape. Just stuck dual 13 wrap n80 3mm ID in the moonshot and the flavour of my OHW policeman just seems off

If you want to keep it in the 40 watt range then your options will be limited to regular coils. In this I would try both contact and spaced.and pick they one I liked best. 24 gauge 6 wrap at 3mm, or 5 wraps at 3.5 should be in the .28ish range.

Getting out of the wattage limitation, I would try 2 strand parallel 26gauge kanthal 6 wraps at 3.5mm dual coils. Should come out to around .25. Wicking speed may be an issue with this build. but it will be a fun experiment.

For me I don't like the long coils. They always taste a little scorched to me. I prefer them in the 4-6 wrap range. If I cant get the resistance I want in that range of wraps, I start adjusting diameter and wire size.

Tried a twisted 26g n80 dual coil today. Put it on my topbox mini, had to push the maximum 75W to get some flavour. 7 wrap, 3mm, came out to .24. Think I got to find another build.. hmm.

yup, with those wires your going to be limited to simple coils to keep the wattage in the 40 watt range.
