Precoils gotton better in flavor?

[The60WattGUY]

Hey guys
Im a bit curious just for fun I did a comparison between 2 atties for flavor,
Decided to compare the wasp vls (basicly v2 wasp nano) using dual claptons 0.5ohm and the new Uforce L tank with the pnp TW/VM 0.15ohm mesh heads they use
Ive noticed they both taste very good... I cant lie but the uforce taste slightly better is that because of the mesh coils?
Seems like the new tanks with new coils now a days are getting really good!
Or maybe its because the rda I compared it with is very cheap I believe its the cheapest rda you can get its like 20bux maybe 15...
That might play a role?
Anyway curious on why that is or maybe my mouth likes mesh more idk haha but im not giving up rda tho its my main atties

I use a lot of different things, both blister-pack coils are rebuildables. I like MANY of them but if I was stuck picking just one, my personal GoTo vape is a blister-pack (Joyetech CLR coils).

For me, it's the vape that works best.

That said, I bounce around on different stuff pretty much every day. LOTS of great vapes out there, and sometimes one is better than another, while the next day the reverse will be the case (for me, at least).

Old vapers love variety.

I have to agree, mesh is pretty darn good for flavor. It has to do with the increased surface area of the mesh touching the wick. And speaking of that, even the best setup only has 50% or less of the total surface area of the metal actually touching cotton. This is true for mesh or traditional wire coils. And I'm not sure where I was going with that, had a brainstorm but it turned into a brief squall that quickly passed.

I only use mesh coils.

I got away from using factory coil heads and sub ohm tanks for years mainly because I am allergic to purchasing factory coils ........ But I have tried a few of the newer factory mesh coil heads in a couple of sub ohm tanks lately and they are surprising good for flavor........ I was quite surprised because the old coil heads were made from single wire and none too swift for flavor.

One of the main reasons the mesh coil heads are good with flavor is because they have a larger surface area in which to vaporize the juice..... Also, on most of them the airflow travels directly THROUGH the coil instead of around the coil.... Their ramp up and fire time is also almost instantaneous.

However, with that said, it is still very difficult to match the flavor from a good RDA provided that the RDA has good airflow design.... Some RDAs are not as good for flavor as others but most of them have excellent flavor..... I have researched your RDA a bit and as far as RDAs are concerned it is one of those "unique" RDAs in that it has a totally different design than most of them do.... But having never used your RDA I cannot say if this is a good thing or a bad thing as far as flavor is concerned....

So to answer your question, no I do not think that mesh coil heads produce better flavor than an RDA.... Some of them rival an RDA for flavor and are pretty good though...... As far as your specific RDA is concerned about the only way you will know for sure about your RDA is to try another RDA that is touted as having good flavor and compare the two.... You do not have to purchase an expensive RDA in order to acheive good flavor......... I mainly use an inexpensive Vandy Vape Rath RDA and the flavor coming off of that thing is totally awesome and intense and it only has side airflow.... There are even better RDA designs that have both bottom and side airflow which produce even better flavor than the RATH.... I think you can get the RATH for just over $20 US..... There is also another very flavorful RDA which is inexpensive and it is the Nitrous RDA by Damn Vape......

But if you don't want to go the RDA or RDTA route then just stick with the mesh sub ohm coil heads since they are giving you good flavor. I don't use them much simply because of the cost of buying coil heads. If I could afford it, then i would probably be vaping off of mesh coil heads rather than rebuilding my own coils.....

My average cost for drop in mesh coils is about $5 to $7 a month, I can live with that.
I want easy peasy, no stress.

Yep, lots of folks are the same way........... I would also do that but the problem is I am a high wattage vaper and the coils for the tanks are almost as expensive as the tanks themselves..... The coil heads for the TFV 18 tank are larger in size than many entire tanks. Some of my coil heads go up to 140 watts.

I build my own clapton coils and I can make each one for only pennies..... If it was not for those few facts then I would definitely be purchasing factory coils. Not only that but I am sort of sick of years of building........... Many people enjoy building but I don't as it's getting old....However there is one giant advantage that rebuildable atomizers have over factory coils and that is that a person can adjust the resistance to wherever they desire. Not only that they can place the coil configuration any where they desire for optimal results.... Wicking can also be adjusted..... Also, unless a person purchases a lifetime supply of coil heads then they might as well throw their tank away when they no longer can purchase coil heads for it. A good rebuildable will last a lifetime without ever having to worry about finding coil heads for it.

I usually vape between 40 to 50 watts, seldom higher. I prefer a cool vape. Dexterity and age prevent me from making coils.

Yeah, I hear you for sure............... Dexterity is not a problem just yet but old age and eyesight issues are for me ............ I think with most all of us vapers there will come a time when we will be too old to vape, or at the very least have difficulty building coils and making juices. I think most older people will eventually get to a point where they have to purchase factory coils.......Some of my older, fellow friends here, have told me that they will never stop vaping no matter how old they get LOL

Believe it or not, I am legally blind but yet still wind my own clapton coils as well as make my own juice...... I suppose I am a glutton for punishment ........... I have vision but it is none too swift....

I will continue to build for as long as I possibly can at which time I will switch to factory coil heads.... I do use factory coil heads from time to time but i mostly use my rebuildable atomizers..... If I was smart, I would probably gather a lifetime of factory coil heads for my favorite sub ohm tanks and be done with it....

Eyesight is a problem for me too. I'm not legally blind as expensive, specialty contacts can correct my vision so that I can drive (barely). I did manage to get what is pretty much a lifetime supply of coils, because I bought several months supply of TFV12 coils each month while stocking up before I learned to build. Then a vape site had them on sale for 50% off and I bought a bunch. I have coils for several other tanks, but just a few boxes each.

Sorry to hear about your poor sight as it makes things tough ...... Yes, I am older now but my vision problems are not age related...... There is a lot of other problems of mine that are age related but not my sight LOL........... I was an Electronics Engineer and at the ripe old age of 26 I got sick with a brain tumor.... I lost 100% of the vision in my left eye (totally blind) and some vision in the other eye........ I was then put on disability for other problems the tumor had caused at only 34 years of age....... Since that time, I have lived on a farm out in the woods and have been a simple farmer and doing simple tasks that I can manage....

I am happy you were able to get a bunch of coils as that is awesome! I may start stocking up on coils one of these days as I realize there is going to come that day where I won't be able to do my own any longer.....

I have to get 100% of ANY vape supplies from online because brick and mortar vape shops do not exist in the land of Hillbillies where I live LOL (sad but true) ........... The closest vape shop to me, and without joking, would probably be 150 miles from here. I live in Amish land and in a very rural and remote area of the woods. The closest place to me that would have any type of vape shop would be Pittsburgh..... So any coil heads or ANYTHING else vape related I have to get online.... These people around here do not even know what vaping is LOL...... In all of the years that I have vaped (10 or 11) I have only seen two other people in this area vaping while I was out and about.... It's crazy here for sure.....

@ 81 years old, I'm still blessed with 20/20 vision. Just lucky I guess, but I still wrap my own coils.
If I was to buy a mesh coil, I still wouldn't have anything to put it in.
I'm also a low wattage vaper. So 10 watts is more than enough for me.
Most days find me vaping @ 7-8 watts, depending on the state of the battery. (mech mods)
I use an A7 RDA, and it's still the flavor king of MTL RDA's
In fact I can wrap and set a coil so that it tastes just like a fresh carto. I can also make it taste like a good ole 510 atomizer, or a HH-357.
So in other words, I can make it taste just the way I want. (and I don't care what you want)
