first family pic:
Mama & baby!
So, I just got this grand off the classies, and honestly I almost put it up for trade immediately because I am so used to the mini (and, you know, small hands and all...) Also, the atomic was not my favorite atty in the beginning. I first tried dual
coils (28g .9 ohm) and the vape was WEAK. So then I just used the same coil that's on my cyclone (26g, 9 wraps, .7ohms, hole drilled out to 1/16th-- perfect!) and it wasn't still even close to what I want. Now, I was under the impression that coils closer to the deck = more flavor & coils higher = more TH (harsher). NOT TRUE. I just read the other thread on here- higher off the deck- and I tried it... 30g, 5 wraps each, .7 ohms, pulled the coils up to about level (slightly above) airholes on the atomic (which are considerably higher than the cyclone) and BAM! It is so smooth, thick & flavorful. The nice thing about the atomic (and probably any other AFC) is that I can make very minute adjustments to the airflow. So now I'm thinking I'll keep her around for a while. The Grand still feels big, but the battery life may be worth it. And the TRA finish is fantastic!
So, thanks everyone for all the great info! I'll be sure to post another pic once the family grows!
