Hey guys.. I was just wondering what you guys think of my e-cig.. I got a nemesis matte mechanical mod with a 3.7 v battery and an igo-w4 rebuildable atomizer.. I checked out the ohms on my atomizer and it says 2. Ohms.. What do you guys think? I know we all have different preferences but I still wanna know what you guys think.. Thanks!! I have a dual coil with Eko wool

What battery are you using?

 

[eben987]

An efest IMR18650 3.7V li-mn battery

Doesn't matter what we think, what do you think of it? Are you happy with it?
I like an IGO-L with a single 1.4 ohm myself, but you may not like it! It's what works for you, not me or anyone else!

But what do you think would give me a little more vape?

Depends on the type of coil you use. Lower ohms usually result in more vape aswell, but the lower you go, the warmer the vape.

What do you want? More throat hit? Big clouds to impress your buddies? Just to get off of cigs?
Most people like to vape around 8 watts, myself included, so with your build you are at 3.9v off the charger including sag for the load, that's 7.6 watts and it will drop.
A 1.6 ohm build will give you a 9.5 watt vape, then drop to 8.5 watts as the battery settles in.
But it's all in what you want, I like a 1.4ish build on my drippers that I run on a mechanical, and right now I'm running a 2.2 ohm build in my Kayfun on my Provari at 3.7v, so everything is a little different for what you want out of it.

i think that that coil ought to give you a decent vape and it really ought to stay well above 1Ω until you are certain you have an idea of what you are doing.

i like the nemesis but an w-4 is a dog to rebuild (cue the usual - no i can do it in 4 minutes).

Thanks for all you guys' advice! I have a 29 gauge kenthal with 4 wraps around wool.. How many wraps would give a bigger cloud?

How are you checking your ohms?

Have you looked into micro and nano coils?

 

[eben987]

How are you checking your ohms?

With my multimeter on the ohms with my positive lead in the center and the negative on the grooves

No I haven't

4 wraps with 29 isn't 2 ohms, unless it's the size of your finger! Please check everything again!

So how would you check it? I have the digital multimeter.. Please excuse me as you can tell I'm rather new at this

First touch the probes of the meter together and make sure it zeros. If it does, great, if not, write that number down. Then touch the neg and pos posts and see what it reads. This is where the number you wrote down comes into it, take the reading and subtract the earlier number from that reading, that is what the coil is producing.

read more - i suggest baditude blogs on batteries. And any of Thrasher's comments generally.

This is not condescending - you can do as you please, but it would benefit everyone if you vaped safely and within the limits of your own abilities and those of your devices and batteries. <~~~~batteries! You will be asked this a great deal.

It's giving me 1.5-1.2 ohms subtracting .2 that the multimeter gives out
