New coil builder confused.

[Enoch777]

can you tell me what rda/rba that is? thanks.

It's the the Optimus S rda. It's stainless steel, has adjustable airflow, and it quite small. It's really not much bigger than a typical pre-built dripper. The bottom cap is fairly loose but I've never had it leak on me. Overall it's a great RDA, especially for the price.

If you feel like it, try the same setup but on a 1/16" bit. I find it works better that way.

I have! I didn't really notice a different though I suspect I'll be revisiting smaller wraps soon though. Thanks for the tip!

EDIT: Re-did a 1/16th, 14 wraps, came out to 1.6Ω. Very satisfying! I was looking lately how to step things up a bit but was being stubborn about my current builds as they worked so well. I might have to try hitting 1.3Ω next coil. Hmm.... I wonder if a month or two from now I'll be building nano coils just to get that next "bump up" in satisfaction.

RYEDAN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!

thanks, looks like it'd be great for taste testing with a micro coil and cotton.

Just picked up a provari mini and an Igo W love it!

Hehehe, hey, it's not me, that's just the way this works. The good thing is atty building is cheap and in no time at all you're going to know a lot more about different setups than you do now

To those of you using rba's on regulated devices, even egos, is it really better than, say, a protank or evod? I'm rebuilding those with microcoils, working pretty well at around 2 ohms on an svd or vamo, or ego, but does it get better with a rba topper? If so, how?

I believe it does. Dripping allows more flavor. Also you can drill out the hole for a better airflow. It also allows you to tune the coil. You can make it give bigger throat hit. Less throat hit. Hitting my rda and an equivalent ohms coil on a protank, the rda wins everytime.

Thank you -- Would you say the same about a genesis?

 

[patrao_n]

Yes although in both cases differwnt wicks will give you different results. I like cotton in mu drippers and rba.
