I love my bonza on my pulse but it isn't the most flavorful RDA I own. What ohms are the coils and how many watts are you pushing through them?
The box of coils says they're .36, my mod and ohms meter says that the whole setup is running at .21 and I've been adjusting the watts to try and find a sweet spot. Currently I'm at 79.0

Hi and welcome. I think the Bonza is probably too large volume to make a great flavor RDA (I don't have one). It also appears to be primarily designed as a cloud machine rather than a flavor chaser. If you can stand a restricted lung hit and less cloud, try a build in the .5Ω range ad close the air down some, trying it between 25 and 40 watts. If that gets you pointed in the right direction, take a look at a Hadaly clone.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Might try to back up and try a high ohm single coil at low wattage and see if you have decent taste without the burnt aspect,then ramp up slowly.

How many watts do you vape at?

Welcome JB to the forum. My best flavor builds are running single coils, not saying you can't run duals and get good flavor. Making clouds is easy but flavor chasing there are many variables. The device, wattage, coil, wick, and eliquid all play a part. You change one of the variables or the setup and you produce an different flavor or no flavor. Earlier this year I switched to all 316L wire and gained alot better flavor. Most all of my builds are single coils in the 0.5 to 0.7 range using 28ga singe wire or 28/36 clapton with a Hadaly atty and mechanical device. Learning to build your own coils will help in finding your way to fining tuning your vape.
Welcome to ECF. Starting out dialing in flavor, wattage that suits you and coil resistance can be difficult. I personally find I get better flavor at slightly higher ohms and they require less resistance. It does matter a bit whether or not you are going for huge clouds (lower 0hms, more wattage) or the reverse. I'd agree that maybe starting out somewhere around 0.5 ohms with a simpler coil build may give you better results.
I don't own that topper so I can't say much about how flavorful it is or isn't, but I'd try a few different builds anyway because you will be learning a lot about how rebuildables function, and will gain knowledge about your preferences as far as build and wattage. If you decide it isn't working for you, then you can always select another RTA to try. Some of the clones can be really good and inexpensive, so you may want to start there next time with the understanding that if you find one you really like, you can purchase the original. It may be a less expensive way to start out. Since I don't vape anywhere like you vape, I'm not much use for suggestions.
With all that said, a different build on what you have may give you exactly what you want.
Best of luck,
Anna

Flavor is like anything else, it's subjective.
I use a dual fused claptons build in my rda at 65 watts and get very good flavors, mine's a .21 with 3mm diameter depending on flavors i always change the wattage, some flavors are better at lower and colder temps, some are better in hoter/higher wattage. Thing is in a rda there's no 1 way fits all way of building it. Haven't looked at a guide for mine and i've never had muted flavor or anything, so imo could be Op dosen't taste much yet ?
Hi all,I'm new here too and I am going to start building my own coils very soon now I have all of the gear. I am a flavour chaser and I have been researching quite a lot about RDA'S because I make my own ejuice and needed to try small samples. I heard that the Hadaly,Narda and Wasp Nano are excellent for this,they are all single coil set ups and my Mrs has bought me the Wasp for Christmas. I am very interested in finding out more information about best builds for this and so far I have heard that simple round wire coils are the best. I appreciate any tips about this.
Not sure on your rda or coils, but besides particular wattages , wicking and airflow are extremely important on flavor....if your coils are to high, to low, to far in or to far out, it will effect flavor. And wicking, if you have way to much, or to little it's a big difference in flavor, same as having to much in the tail lenghts. I agree on higher resistances for flavor, but it could be wicking and airflow

Starting out make sure you know Ohms Law and battery limitations. Single coil and wire with 1.0 ohms or above builds to start. Then work you way into more advance builds once you are comfortable. A regulated device will help you out then move on to a mechanical if you desire.
Thanks Rob. I have been brushing up on ohms law and I have an ohms reader in my kit. I will be using a Smok Alien 220 watt regulated mod and have no desire to use mechs as I would never be comfortable with the safety aspect of them. I just want to start with simple builds,nothing too low. Although I have quite a powerful mod I have never taken her over 100 watts and mostly stay below 40.
Thank you for your advice. I have been watching a lot of YouTube tutorials on builds for my particular RDA,some say to do it one particular way and another something entirely different,I suppose it will be down to me experimenting and finding the build that suits my needs the best.
I would look for a dedicated wasp nano thread to see what sorts of builds other users like to run in that rda and how they like to position the coils.
edit: here is a wasp thread with 100+ posts in it - RDA - Anyone try Oumier Wasp Nano ?
