Need help with coil builds!

[kenflawless89]

So far I've tried many different coils. But all have lil to almost no vape, some get harsh and hot to the throat.. I've tried nano coils, micro coils, dragon coils,And even super nano coils.. I got a private v2 with a trident gold rda (clone) a 18650 efest battery 2000 mah. I've been useing 28 gauge a-1 kanthal and organic cotton as wick.. most my coils go from 1 to 2 ohms. The lowest I've gone was .5 .. the most wraps I've done is 10 wraps. Could that be the problem? I'm looking to produce big vape clouds but still safe..ish... Anyone got any idea's? Can anyone help me out?

Sounds like it could be a number of issues... Could be that you don't have enough wick. Could be that you have too much wick. Could be a short. Could be hot leads. Could be uneven coils. Could be a hot spot.

Pictures would help. Could we get a few pics of the set up? One without firing and one while firing.

Ahh ok. I always do make sure to put a bunch of wick. If I don't the coils turn red hot and taste no good.. I make sure my coils touch absolutely nothing.. and the coils I smush them together right after firing to get all the hot spots out and make sure they're firing at the same time. From the middle out.. I don't have any pics but I'll send some as soon as I get home from work. I'm really trying to figure this out..

I did find this pic . This is a 1.2 ohm microcoil. Still no vapor.

From that pic I don't believe I see anything wrong... Do you test for hot spots or hot leads by firing without wick?

 

[kenflawless89]

Yeah I fire it a couple times and squeeze the coils together a couple times. And make sure they fire at the same time and make sure there's no hot spots.. then I insert the wick after it looks perfect..then I juice it then fire it again a couple times.. sound about right?

agree

what is voltage or wattage do you use?

 

[kenflawless89]

I use watts on a mech mod. In ohms law. I base (E) off 4.2

what pg/vg ratio is your juice ? I used a trident for a long time on a innokin 134 and the best I found was just a single micro coil id 1/16, 8 to 12 wraps of whatever gauge you have to do 1.1-1.3 ohms, and have the coil right on the airhole with the biggest hole


or a nano sat on a very thin layer of cotton without a wick but you cant sit your coil to close to the edge cus the tridents middle sleeve sits inside the cup so you have to leave a gap, I think there might even be some circles lightly engraved in the cup you can use as a guide

Actually just picked up some alpha the dude pg30/70vg and installed a 1.2ohm super nano coil.. it seems to produce a pretty nice cloud.. I might wanna go lower ohms.. I also pick up 2 sonyvtc 18650 30amp..

I have notice building mine it takes some time to heat the coils with 28 gauge. Try less wick. Also get some 32-34 gauge and play with those a bit shorter heat time.
Twisting up some cotton I found that a tight twist that is about the size of 1/16 or little smaller, rolled between fingers tight (starts out about 3/8 loose) works pretty good with 28 gauge

IMO the cotton inside your coils is too thin, also check that your coils are not touching the base of the atty
