I think you should have the airflow on the side where the coil is wide open. This isn't really a massive amount of airflow on a Magma. But it will keep your coil cooler.

U can have both side open or on side closed it's all personal preference try it with the largest hole open on 1 side and the the middle hole on both sides and see which you prefer also move the coil to about 2/3mm from air hole as it will cool the coil better and also give better flavour
I've been reading this forum for awhile so its cool to actually post something!

So is that a single coil or a parallel coil? Also have u dry burned it to see what the ramp up time is like?
Single coil yeah i dry burned it.. whats ramp time though.. sorry i am very new to all of this.
How long from pressing fire button does it take the coil to glow red. That's ramp up time
Oh okay... It took a second or two I guess. I dont really remember but not long. How long is it supposed to take?
It's not really massively important I was just wondering as that looks to be a large coil to heat. Looks good though. good job.
Ramp up time is how long it takes for the coil to come up to temperature . You've got a lot of wire in that build , it's gonna take awhile to heat up and cool down , If you're gonna run at 1.2 ohms 28ga would be a better choice . I think your first build was fine , you just need to get your wicking down pat .
Yeah it is at the bottom. i just bought this wire though and already spent so much money on juices..and other stuff... its a hobby now and im sure you all know how it is. I will eventually buy a different size. See i thought it was the way i built that first coil but i guess it was the wick.. i enjoy building them so later I'll try that again..lol
retic is right. If you are going to vape below 20 watts on a device without step down, you would be better off using 28g, then you would only need about 10 wraps to get around 1.2Ω. Plus it isn't as thick, so your "ramp up" and cool down will be faster.
Alrighty.. thanks so any suggestions what build i could do better with this 26 gauge wire? Also what is step down? Do any other mods with an internal battery have that? I want to upgrade yet again soon for more of an at home device
Baditude would be the guy to explain step down clearly, but basically if you have a 4.2v battery and you are trying to deliver anything lower than that, devices without step down will still send 4.2v.
With the build you described at .8Ω, firing it at 16 watts means you WANTED to send 3.6(ish)v to the coil, but without step down, you were still sending 4.2v (22 watts),
