This is a great topic!
I have recently been looking into getting a mech squonk as my first mech.
I am very confused by the steam engine when it comes to wires and "mod setting" at the bottom. I understand ohms law and where I want to build to as I am currently running a 24awg kanthal parallel spaced in my rta and a twisted in my rda both .25-.3.
I am curious about different wire types and the heat they would produce. Steam says ss dual 28awg at .3 mod should be 26watts and 2.6v. What would that be like on a mech. Hot?
That would only pull 12amps or so. The same situation only changing to the thicker wire is at 4v
So I guess my question would be how to select the wire and guage to be a good adv set up since any equation doesn't always depict the same outcome it seems
