Steam engine is confusing me again. Designing "twisted pair" coils with 26 ga Kanthal (3mm, 7 winds) and everything else looks good except suggested mod wattage and "Heat capacity" are through the roof! Is it just too much mass?
For dual coils (0.5ohm for both) It's showing around 150 watts and 150 mJ/K heat capacity (is that what's called "ramp up time"?) Heat flux seems OK at 200. I'm really a noobie with using SE. My mod is only 60 watts... can I even use this setup?
Ignore the watt setting - just think about how much heat that dual core build will generate. The amount of mass (wire) in a twisted dual coil build is high.
I stuck your coils into Vape Tool Pro:
The heating surface is huge @ 692.11mm sq.
Dual coil: 7 wrap 3mm id 26ga kanthal results in:
Much lower heating surface. I'd try this build - see how it vapes and then try the twisted dual coils.
