Can you explain? I can't see how the 24 would be better than the 22 since it has an even larger chamber.
And a larger deck to support larger coils and additional wicking. Vapor production to chamber size ratio remains the same, only now there is more vapor to carry the flavor.

Looks like the same build I have in mine too. Well the same positioning at least. How do you like it so far?

Great so far. Less air than what I typically roll with but I'm starting to appreciate a restricted lung hit more and more these days. All I had at work was 24AWG so I just tossed in a quick single. When I re-do it I'm going to try and get the coil straight between the air holes. I didn't have a lot of time to build it on my lunch break, lol.

That's funny, lol that's exactly what I did and what my train of thought was too. I want it more straight too, I didn't have enough time so I just tossed whatever in there and cocked it to the side so the air still hit the sides. What ohms is yours at?

One thing I love about this atty (so far) is that I can get a GREAT vape off of it while pushing 25 watts! Maybe I should grab another SX Mini M Class since they are on sale now for $99!!!! I am thrilled to have an atty that doesn't require tons of power to satisfy. Maybe I would like, maybe, just a tad more airflow, but this thing is hittin' fantastically for flavor as is and I don't want to act like I am left in any other state other than happy!!

Edit: More airflow! If running the slanted coil, you can take the top cap and direct it to the open deck and it actually increased the airflow--and it didn't hardly lessen the flavor, well, it did but not a lot. It's going back to the way it is supposed to be. LOL. But this could open up build possibilities.

I thought the same thing about the air flow. But then I thought it would just be like every other rda out there, I can't stand all these rda's with all these different air flow options. To me regular dual air flow and single option is the best. Just cause you have more doesn't mean it's better, sometimes less is more and in this instance it's true. But I do get what you mean though cause I've never had an rda that was this, restrictive, but not restrictive if that makes sense lol. I feel like more air would of killed this thing.

It's cool because it has dual-airflow, but for a single coil! Nice and open for a restrictive draw. haha

p.s. Check my edit above...

Exactly! I LOVE that it's dual but for single, I love a good single coil to finally utilize all that juice well that rda's have. Kinda sucks that all my other attys are a tad jealous.....oops.

@HeiSINberg

Did you get the bottom-feed pin? I did since it didn't hardly cost anything. I don't even own a squonk mod...yet! This will be going atop one...one day!
No, I wish I did just for the hell of it but I took the extra money and got 2 day shipping instead. I do however regret that ultem top cap though....Oh how I regret that. But with how low I was on the list I don't think I would of gotten one anyway. Hopefully next time.

Between this and the Sub Zero, I have found another atty that I will likely buy one more of. I want to try another build already, but I am NOT taking this one apart!!! Need another.

Okay, I lied...

Had to rebuild it...

It occurred to me that part of the restriction of airflow I was getting was because the tails were right in front of the air inlets. It's more open now.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fourth build (the third one didn't work with 24 gauge kanthal dual coil and a 2.5 mm ID--the resistance was far too low)...

This is with 26 gauge. Lovely vape!

@HeiSINberg and @inswva, you guys have to try a dual coil! It's well worth it.

I like your 2nd build the best, that's the one I'm gonna try out tonight. I thought about duals but I really wanted this rda for a single flavor coil and to use that big juice well it has, so we'll see.

It just takes two right-bends in the leads for that one (the dual coil is not all that easy, to be honest). I went back to a single-coil but used spaced coils this time. Each build is a matter of really good or better. LOL
