Noobie To Dripping - Need Some Advice!

[tBERGz]

Hey everyone,
I've been vaping for about two years now, and have decided to start dripping. For the last few weeks, I have been dripping on an IGO-W, 26G Kanthal single coil (7 wrap micro coil reading at 0.8ohms) on my iStick 30w.

I just recently purchased a new battery that should arrive today, and was wondering if anyone had advice/tips on producing some fat clouds! Dual coils? Different coil builds? Number of wraps? Watts to vape at? I think you get the picture lol.

The items I will be using are as follows:
-smok XPRO M80 Plus
-IGO-W
-26 Gauge Kanthal Wire
-Japanese Organic Cotton
- 80vg/20pg Juices

All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Tyler

Honestly, I don't like the guy but you can watch Rip Trippers build videos. He shows you can build at 1.0 ohm single put a device on 30 watts and get just as good vapor production as a crazy low build can do. People may disagree, but For laughs one day I build 0.2 when I had a mech mod, and 1.2 ohms on my IPV3 and I was getting more from the IPV3 build than the mech mod build.

Thank you for the response, I will definitely have to look into his videos!

I like dual coils about .2ish I use plane old simple no contact coils and get loads of vapor and flavor but if you want to invest the time Im sure the exotic coil builds are great also.

Awesome thank you for the suggestion! I might have to try the no contact coils!

I've had some room fogging clouds from my nemesis w/454 atty and quad coils around .19 ohms but the densest, thickest and biggest clouds that I've personally done were on my Doge v2, single coil 26g @ 1.27ohm running my SMY180 at 25w. The vapor was sooooooooo thick that it felt like I could chew it.

All with max (100%) vg juice and plain ole micro coils - vertical builds in the 454 and horizontal in the doge

Thanks for the info! Do you know about how many wraps you did for the 1.27 ohm coil??

It's a 10 wrap t.m.c. with a 3mm ID. I was shooting for 1.4 but got 1.27 instead.

Here is a like to a great little page for calculating how many wraps to make your coils.
