OBS Crius RTA?

[Heartsdelight]

I


I'm using 3mm coils on the crius with no issues so moving up to 3mm will help get your res up. Maybe a couple less wraps than 2.5mm for the same res.

Thanks! I'm going to try, will let you know how it works out!

Help someone, anyone.... Pretty please.....

Has anyone used SS316L 26g, 2.5mm? Aiming for .50-.60 ish ohms. Don't know if it's possible because using Steam Engine Coiling wrapping, it saids it needs 16 wraps. I don't think it'll fit.

Thanks!

Im using UD SS316L 26g 2.5mm spaced coils in the Crius. 8 wraps. Dual coil.

It reads .23 ohms on my eVic VTC mini.

I'm having wicking issues. Either too much or not enough.

Could it be that I use Max VG with organic cotton? If so, what wicking material is better for Max VG?

 

[jefx]

How much vg is max vg?

I use diy 75%vg and koh gen do. No problems with wicking.

I'm using 80-90%.

Thanks, I've been able to do that as well on on Evic Vtc mini. I was aiming for .50-.60ish. Going to try 3mm, 14 wraps. We'll see.

@rangerrobin I use rayon exclusively and I have no problems wicking max vg of 80-90%.

If I may ask, why do you desire such a high res build for ss with tc? Are you wanting to run the build on some other mod than the vtc?

Cause I like to vape at around 30-32 watts on the Vtc ( better for battery life). When I built it like Jefx, UD SS316L, 2.5mm id, 8 wraps spaced, .23-.25 ohms. When I vape it at about 35 watts, the tank makes a popping noise. Something to do with the ramp up of the Ss316L wire? I don't know, any thoughts as to why I am getting the popping noise?

No go on the 14 wraps with 26g SS316L, 3mm id. Don't think it will fit.

What are you using? You mentioned 3mm.

I ended up going back to UD 28g+ribbon twisted, 8 wraps, 2.5mm, .55 ohm @ 32 watts, no more popping noise. But wanted to use my UD SS316L wire spaced for TC on the Vtc, wanted to play with the new TCR update.

Man, I just don't get it, I can't seem to get the wicking down very well. Keep getting dry hits, and I've gone through probably 3 sheets of cotton. Plus I seem to have problems with my resistance fluctuating a lot. I'm only using 28ga kanthal, 5 wraps, slightly spaced. It's irritating as all hell.

 

[jefx]

Maybe the dry hits are caused by the fluctuating ohms instead of your wicking.

 

[RhynoRock]

I thought that too.
What would cause the resistance to dance all over like that? I've also replaced coils about 3 times, and it appears to be making no difference. Could the deck be faulty?

I second this. With mine, the fluctuating resistance is usually due to poor connection(s), and most of the times it's at the posts. I also think this is because the holes in the velocity deck for the set screws go all the way through the posts. Makes it harder to get a really good stable connection, IMO

I've had better luck with posts that don't have holes all the way through.

I noticed that. It's as if the grub screws can't clamp against anything and keep coming loose.

28ga is pretty thin for those crappy posts.

I use 30 ga ni annealed in mine. I have some tempered enroute. I have not had Flux issues. It is a pain to get used to it and not clip them. I had an issue with dry hits when my coils were too high, seems best about 2, 2.5mm over the deck.

Guys, I don't know if you want to hear this, but I switched to NiFe30 (to replace Nickel) and NiFe48 (to replace Titanium) from Zivipf.de and I couldn't be happier since:

Spaced-coils, micro-coild, everything works.

AMD....how's that insulator working out for you?? Has the "screw-down" positive post stopped the afc ring seepage??
