Haha yeah that's why spending a few bucks on something good pays off in the long run.

Your mod has short protection so it's a good mod to learn to build on. I always try to talk people into getting something with protection when they first want to learn, but they always seem to want the shiny tubes lol

I just walked in to my vape shop and asked the lady who works there and she said it was a good battery lol I should have studied more about this stuff before I bought it but it works pretty well with my Atlantis I'm just tired of buying coils. Dripping seems way more fun anyways I can't wait to try

You are doing fine..... But yes it does pay to study especially when dealing with these high current coils. There are lots of good "Youboob" videos that show a person about everything imaginable about vaping. I suggest you look at some of them. It really does help new vapers.

Pretty much anything. Do you want a rebuildable tank, or a dripper? For tanks, Delta 2 with the rba is my favorite, they are 15 bucks at vaporbeast right now I just got another one. Lemo 2 is also really good, or the subtank mini, or the uwell crown, smok tfv4, Cloupor Z4, freemax starre and a ton more.

For drippers, the magma is pretty fool proof, or the Nova n22 which I've seen on ebay for 10 bucks recently. Theres the dark horse, plume, freakshow, and a plethora of others.

Yes, 0.3 to 0.5 is pretty safe. As far as RDAs you have to balance what you want it to really do.

Flavor but decent clouds - Reduced and or narrow chamber - Examples the Helios, Derringer, IGO W
Good Flavor and Good Clouds - A slight larger chamber than above - Tugboat, Plume Veil, Freakshow, Kennedy, Patriot
Decent Flavor but big clouds - About same size and second category but massive airflow - Doge, Mutation X, Dark Horse, Velocity

Have you heard of a Turbo v2? It seems affordable but there has to be a catch lol

Luckily she didn't give you an istick 20 lol.. The vape shop near me pushes the clones for 50 bucks it's horrible.

Hah yeah I started off with one of those..I thought I liked it until I saw other people have drippers with huge clouds. I felt cheated lol

 

[Ou2mame]

My friend upgraded cause I kept blowing clouds in his face and he couldn't fight back. It happens.

 

[IMFire3605]

Yeah, I've seen the Turbo, if it is the one I am thinking of, has a little fan in it. I'd classify that one in the second category, never used one but seen one up close, the fan kinda restricts airflow a bit so sacrifices a bit of clouding which promotes more flavor

 

[Juiceman617]

So do u think I could get bigger clouds with a dropper than I get with my Atlantis? My Atlantis coils say they are 0.3 ohms but it still uses those vertical coils

Ok cool. Do u know how the vaping experience differs between builds that use one coil and two coils etc? Like do more coils= bigger clouds?

 

[Ou2mame]

Yeah more vapor more flavor.. The only downside is they have to be built very much the same or one fires before the other. The Atlantis is ok but I thought the flavor wasn't that good. For subohm tanks it was good when it came out but it's outdated by today's standards. My friend loved the artic tank, thats his favorite right now and he's had pretty much every subohm tank since the Atlantis.

Yes, dual coil will most times out perform a single coil. 2 coils = 2 sets of surface contact between wick and coil, more surface being vaporized, equals more liquid vaporized, equals more vapor and flavor. There are a ton of variables you can tweek and bang around, I've about experimented with most of them. Basic dual coil is a bit tricky as with electricty, each parallel line you add reduces the resistance, ie to be at 0.5 ohm dual coil, each coil needs to be 1ohm by itself, 0.5ohm triple coil each coil needs to be 1.5ohms, 0.5ohm quad coil each coil needs to be 2.0ohm, etc, and you have to balance both fire equally. Each extra coil adds more time for the coils to ramp up to temp though so there is a trade off and most people settle on a single or dual coil config over others.

Yeah it's ok for when I go to work and stuff but when I get home I wanna be able to blow huge clouds lol. The Atlantis clouds aren't bad but it's not as satisfying because I know there's better out there.

Wow I didn't know that!! Thanks for that tip lol that's major

 

[Juiceman617]

so does anyone know how many times I should wrap a coil around to get a certain ohm?

Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Its a bit of trial and error but the calculators will get you in the ballpark. Once you know your rba, you know how many wraps of what equal what

 

[IMFire3605]

Steamengine -> Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

has a lot of good useful tools even a coil wrapping simulator/calculator

As long as you're not smoking cigarettes you are golden.
Fun came after the withdrawal and cravings passed, for me.
What nic level are you using?

Good luck
I

If you want something for massive clouds, look at the mutation line of RDAs. I have one and it can chuck clouds all day long if I open the airflow up. The downside is that it loses flavor when I am going for monstrous clouds. If I close off the airflow, it gives decent flavor and decent clouds.

If you want something that gives you great flavor, look into something like a Magma RDA or a clone of it. I have one of those and it gives off phenomenal flavor, but can't come close to the mutation in the cloud department.

If you want something that sort of bridges the gap, look into a dark horse RDA. I don't personally have one, but my friend does, and has let me borrow it for a few days. With the airflow closed off significantly, it can give very good flavor. If you open up the airflow, it can give some giant clouds, too(but you will lose some flavor). In my short experience with my friend's dark horse, I felt that it gave more flavor than the mutation I have, but I was unable to produce as large of clouds.

Obviously, there are thousands of other options out there for RDAs. These are just ones I have some experience with. With experiences coming down to personal preferences, your mileage may vary.

If you start to push more power, you might need to lower your levels... If you are getting harshed with the newer units, consider cutting your levels again.
I never thought I could get by on .03%, but as the watts push up...
