seems that it can go as low as .1 ohms ( restriction design in the mod) but my personal preference is a low value of .2 ohms, no need to go any lower, you can get some serious heat with .2 ohms on the RX200... try a .5 ohm setup and gradually increase the W until you find a happy spot. If you dont find it, then try a .2 or .3 ohm set. RDA's were designed mainly for mechs in the beginning... in other words... for a voltage range of 3.6 - 4.2 ...

@elsoda96 Coil resistance is not of virtually no consequence with a regulated mod like the RX200 as long as you stay within the parameters of the chipset. Try to build coils with maximum surface area and minimum mass.
The amp draw from the batteries is dictated by the wattage that you set on the mod, and will increase as the voltage level in the battery drops.

Use this article to see how to calculate this. You can also use steam-engine to do the maths for you.

If your MXJOs are one of the two I have listed below they are poor performing re-wrapped 20 amp cells, which means on the RX200 you are good to about 180 watts.

MXJO Yellow/Silver 35A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...a dangerously overrated 20A battery!

MXJO Yellow/Silver 35A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...still an overrated battery

I'd look into a RDTA or Medusa Reborn RDA (massive 2ml juice well) too... all the advantages of a RDA without the need to drip as often. I do get better flavour from most RDA's then I do most RTA's but RTA's like the Merlin Mini or Engine Nano I don't notice much and RDTA's I can't tell the difference at all. Unless you want it for the 810 driptip or just want to drip for something to do I don't see the point of them anymore without squonking.

That really helped out a lot thanks man Ima look into new batteries cause I didn't know that at all

Dual coil 14 wraps of 26G kanthal with a 2.5mm internal diameter. Wick it nicely not too tight not too loose with the wick tails just touching the deck. Get the coils in line with but towards the top of the airslots, open up the airflow wide and hit it with 70-90 watts. Should make plenty of vapor.

If your ok with mechs the CopperVape BF is suppose to be one of the best clones around. If not the DripBox 2 or the Wraith have full controls without the cost of a DNA squonk. Medusa Reborn is 3.5ml my mistake, the original Troll RDA had a massive well for cotton you could fit that much too.

I have a mech vape I have a vgod but I used a pre made coil for it and it was the only one I have I wanna get to know my batteries and coils before I use it more

Oh your batteries sound ok, 20A 18650 is a normal battery. Just 35A is a lie but its always a lie and on alot of batteries out there. Always recommend Sony/LG/Samsung, not printing anything is always better then printing a lie. If I was just handed two as a new vapor, one Samsung and one MXJO I'd look up the Samsung to see what it is (20A) and assume the MXJO was 35A. Thats why people hate them, not necessarily because they are bad.

I've read Samsung batteries are good when I bought these batteries the vape shop owner actually recommended them over the Samsungs but I've heard way better feedback with samsungs over the mxjo

Does it have 3 prongs or 4 on the +? Funny cause Samsung 30Q is the best right now unless your using a mech and if its 3 prongs that what it is... lol.
