RBA question

[Buddychuck]

Just started on RBAs and have some questions.
1) When you have your coil wrapped and mounted should the coil start glowing red as soon as you hit the fire button? All my coils so far seem to take some time to start glowing. Sometimes I have to up the volts to even get it going.
2) When I can get a coil working, I will add juice to test it and then it takes a few sec before it makes any vapor.
3) Do the wires at both end need to be glowing as well? Sometime they do sometimes they dont.
Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching every video I could find on the IGO-L but every video they just wrap, mount, and vape with no issues?!?! I know rba will take sometime to get the hang of but Im running out of supplies quick. Really want to get the hang of this so again any help would be greatly appreciated.
Using:
32 gauge wire
IGO-L
2mm Ekowool Silica wick
Vamo

my 28 gauge 0.8 ohm coils take about 3-5 seconds to get going...

What resistance is your coil?

mostly in the 1.5 - 2.6oHms range. I have had 3 at 1.5, 2 at 1.8, 1 at 2.3 and 3 at 2.6

The higher the ohm, the longer it will take to get going. I found that if Im using my aga on a regulated batt (my vamo) 1.5-1.8 is the best for battery life and quickest performance

That is not correct.

I can get a 3.0 Ohm coil white hot in 1/2 a second... Using 2 loops of 38 gauge wire

I can also build a 0.8 ohm coilthat take 3-5 seconds to heat up, using 6 wraps of 28 gauge.

Wire Thickness effects heat up times as much as resistance...

thicker wire takes longer to heat at = resistance

higher resistance will take longer to heat a wire of = gauge

Where the heck you get 38 ga at?

And...why are you buying 38g a wire?
