Your pictures are too small on the computer and zoom didn't help much. Looked up spiral build/coil; of course there were many different hits on google. This is what I know...for myself the rba head with a clapton coil was the best flavor in the STM, the horizontal coils provided better flavor than the vertical imo. I did recoil the square heads until they redesigned the rba head. That being said those were my introduction to building. Then I started on rtas with bigger decks. Hoping when I break out the rba I can squeeze out more flavor than I could then. My understanding of af, coil placement, and wicking is slightly better. Always learning, mostly by accident.For reference from the thread…KangerTech SUBTANK Mini | Page 187 | Post #3731.
The chase for more production goes all the way back to the Aspire vert's and earlier micro vert experiments with clearo's notably the original and anemic Kanger Protank heads. It' always seemed to me counterintuitive to pack a coil from the outside so as to inhibit flow getting closest to the coil. The rapidly expanding vapor pushes outwardly against the juice supply. This must require higher power. Lots of flooding in those tests.

But for all who've come up on strictly externally wicked verticals it's a level of vapor density they're accustomed to. And reasonably more vapor should yield more flavor…except when you limit the supply source you tend to diffuse the vape reducing its density. So not really with verticals. They reach a density maximum more readily. And for cool MTL vapers there simply won't be enough there to begin with. The Holy Grail I think, the most natural geometry for a compact radiator, is the spiral. It's most favorable optimization, internal.
There really isn't a need to compromise though, as I've spoken to often. Spirals can be made better.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I'll take you up on that offer down the road. Might have to dumb it down for me a bit though. Good night.When you do I'd be glad to help with those parallels. There are limitations with the ST as the posts have only ~7.5mm spread (9mm post-to-post). Trying to get the most wick surface area in there without a design that will skew is a challenge but doable. Question then is adequate airflow. I've significantly altered the wee-bitty pin holes in most of my heads. Once there, you can push a lot of power through strained oxidized parallels.
Do believe the above may have been a slightly over-sized build w/29awg. Need to revisit this as my research was limited to using RxW (Nextel) at 2.778mm. Problem with power is you will build gunk as you add watts. Opening up the Ø definitely helps, if you can go with cotton, rayon or alternative. Sadly, Nextel requires relatively tightly matching coil diameters. I wish there were so many vapers and using it that we had 3, 3.2 and 3.5mm variants. Then one could very precisely target virtually any modern device.
Will tell ya that most of the folks I set up with t.m.c.'s and RxW tend to not budge from there. Once they experience the flavor and ease of minimal maintenance it's snap.
Lot's to talk about on these various subjects. For the next week or so I'm caught up on a pressing tech project elsewhere. As always tho here if anyone needs.
Good night all.
It's our tiny hands. I hear we make pretty good surgeons, too
Gotta' get around those capillaries sometimes
Did you find it? I have some 26g ss core wrapped with 36g k. Kind of the opposite of what you want. Got it at Lightning Vapes awhile ago. I also came across this site that specializes in ss wire and coils if you're into it. They even carry 40g ss.
I've been using AVS for over a year love them. I just need a bit more resistance than I get with ss for the new Engine. If I get ss/kanthal I can use replay. Otherwise I wouldn't be interested. I do enjoy my multi wire coils so a sacrifice is required.
One of these days I'm going to try to create a juice for the lime/apricot wedding cake.Good to know!
Good luck.
