Need More Vanilla

[binks00]

I want more flavor and vapor but get dry hits above 14 Watts. I've tried 3 different vanillas, some 50/50 others 70/30. Is this just the nature of vanilla?

Setup
dna 30
kayfun
Kanthal 26 ga wire with 2mm coil at 1.1 ohm
Cellucotton wick with perfect legnth and placement

I have decent vapor now but want as much as I can get with other juices at 18+ watts.

Check out Nicoticket's Frenilla, they specifically test their juices at high wattages on regulated mods and low resistances on mechanicals to make sure it doesn't scorch. Plus, I've heard it tastes absolutely amazing.

I believe your wick is what is causing the problem. If you wick right, you can Vape 100% VG juice a lot higher than 14 Watts. Try wrapping your coil on a 1/8" drill bit, there's a tutorial on this site on this amazing build that you can Vape any juice at high wattages and never get a dry hit.

Try that build first. I did it the other night and it is truly amazing.

So your coil is about 4.4 mm long, right ?
If so, there's your problem (especially on a Kayfun). Maybe you should use a higher gauge wire in order to shorten your coil.

Sounds like it's not a hardware issue but a juice issue. Try Nicoticket's Frenilla. Yum.

I have the same issues with frenilla. Cullin - ive already subscribed to that thread but I've only tried 2mm coils, I'll have to try 3mm. Albert - my coil is 8 wraps... so probably about 4 mm long. Could I just use 4-5 wraps and run it at a lower resistance?

Considering the airhole on Kayfuns is only 2 mm wide, I do think it would be better to shorten your coil, to make sure the entire coil stays within the airflow. Either by doing less wraps or by using higher gauge wire.

Shorten coil with less wraps. I can't wait to try. What is the minimum resistance for a kayfun and/or dna?

I do 8 wraps on a 1/8" screwdriver (3.175mm) with 26 gauge kanthal and don't have an issue with any juice at all. It comes in right around 1.0-1.1 Ohms. No matter how hard I try, I can't get a dry hit, not even at 30W. This includes the French Vanilla juice I use.

There isn't one for the Kayfun but you have to remember, the Kayfun can only wick/feed juice so fast. Obviously don't exceed your batteries limits but I see people vaping Kayfun's at 0.5 Ohms and some even at 0.3 Ohms. The lowest resistance a DNA 30 can handle is 0.3 Ohms. Going that low is counter productive though and you may notice that it doesn't work nearly as well as a 0.8 build at 30W.

Try the build above, 8 wraps on a 1/8" (3.175mm) post with 26 gauge kanthal. You won't be disappointed. I'm vaping it at 23.5W on a DNA 30 with a 100%VG French Vanilla/Vanilla Cupcake blend and it's delicious. The vapor is great as well.

I just found out I had a loose ground wire on my dna 30 which didn't help matters. That's squared away now and I'm currently running 5-6 wraps @1/8 inch. Good results with strawberry but I did not try vanilla yet.

Thanks for the advise, Cullin. I'll try the 8 wrap of 26 gauge on a 1/8 in. next build. It may be a couple days yet since I just got a magma yesterday.

Tobacco Road Vanilla : This can help you what you are looking for the same. This is mellow tobacco flavor with the essence of vanilla after tones. Perfect for you all day vape. refer this Tobacco Road Vanilla E Liquid one of mine friend tried before a week

I'll look into bionic. Thanks! I smoked for 15 years then took a 8 break. Now im vaping 3mg of nicotine once or twice a day but I have no interest in tobacco flavored. I guess its because cigs always tasted terrible, it was the nicotine I was after. Thank you for the suggestions though.
