I haven’t used those coils in months... I never ran them that high though. I’d have to look and see what ohms mine are, I can’t remember.
It says on the box (although I never listened much to what it says on the box) 50-110 watts, best 60-80

Well, I'm impressed. I ordered that SQ on Wednesday and it already arrived. Nice little squonk! I also have the Topside from the other day I'm running the Redemption on top, and also received a shipping notice from 3Fvape on an order from Tuesday or Wednesday, which is nice as one of the attys had a 5-7 day shipping notice.

Seems I'm ending up with lots of red these days.

Where would one get a 2 post Kennedy? I took a look at my usual stomping grounds but no luck.

well I was lucky because FT or even eBay was still selling clones. I don’t know if they still are. I may have an extra on or two. If so I’ll send you one. Give me a few days. My engines are propeller types not jet ones lol!!! I’ll DM. I have use used the 3 post but I was just starting to build and was losing my my mind lol! So if you’re experienced you may not have an issue with it.

Hard to beat the Kennedy (24 or 25) for flavour. I've got 2 post versions of both - great drippers. I've never done the squonk conversion though

move only used mine as droppers as well. Something about the entire process makes its more worthwhile:)

So I'm still waiting on a fasttech order from the beginning of March and I'm starting to get antsy. That order was three different clone rdas that had bottom-feeding pins and were sort of short little flavor bangers. I'm getting edgy and as much as I love my NarCa I was wondering if anyone knows of any good deals on at least 22 mm squonking RDA that's kind of short like something that's going to have a small chamber similar to or in the neighborhood of a NarCa with a restricted direct lung to fully direct lung capability. Single coil capability is a must. And even though I trust fasttech I prefer not to wait two months so something in the states would be really super nice

Thanks!

    Welcome back Virmy :wub:

    You may prefer the .blank as it is a top airflow type of rda - so more similar to your Elevate RTA.

    I run my Axial with a tiny 2.5mm or 3.0mm id coil. The pics below are of the 2.5mm id, 5 wrap 0.5mm x 0.2mm flat wire coil.

    Wicking:

    Coil Height:

    View attachment 884069

    This is what works for the way I vape. I'm not doing big RDL inhales, I'm doing MTL inhales, with those 3 airflow holes all open.

    I figured the right height for me was 5.5mm legs. Once I had a coil installed, I slapped the cap on, opened it up to the full cyclops airflow, and using a thin metal skewer I poked it in the airflow hole to figure out where air would hit my coil. I wanted it to hit just a tad below the coil and most of it to hit the bottom area of the coil. With my teeny coil, 5.5mm legs worked. With my 3mm id coil, 6mm legs work.

    Try a 3mm id coil, with 6mm legs and see how you go. Also, if you want to keep it at 3 holes open, try a more restricted drip tip.

    girrrrrrL you always goin' off-label with the stuff!
    hello!
    looks yummy though (6 hours till my next inhale)
    how comes you don't just go mtl/tootlepuff proper?

    If you want thicker vapor at the same wattage (and you are using a regulated mod) I would suggest to build with a thicker gauge wire and more wraps. Coil resistance doesn't matter as much on regulated devices. I usually build at .35-.4 on regulated mods bit .16-.25 on mechanicals . Surface area is your friend. I can get surprisingly good performance from 35-40W. Find a nice flat wide wire and do an extra wrap or 2. Not sure what kind of wire you are using, but just be careful not to get too massive or it will take a long time to ramp up.
    The Axial was designed to be a dual coil RDA. You may like it better as a dual. I like it better single but that doesn't mean you will.
    With the drop in coil RDAs (Axial, Drop Yup, DR) I find that if I pull the coil up tight with the jig after I tighten the screws, it almost always puts the coil in the perfect place as far as AF goes.

    always on the money skunkie you technical rodent you!

    i did reach a bit above .4 with blank the other day_ was confused whether it was fantastic or neurotic.. (thought it bit much since i'd wrapped two extra halves instead of subtracting for sidepostdeckwhatchamacallit totaling 7wraps with those wotofo framedstaples)

    i keep settling on and off flats... just don't get if it's all abt surface width or there's a serious value to the thickness and grovationses.. i mean the framedstaplefurseds they vape fantastic though theyre thinner than the quads.

    i'm not sure where the line is to too high ramp up, are these 6cores insane for example? https://www.zivipf.com/epages/63862...s"/SubProducts/"Sweep Coils NC80 0.25*6+0.08"

    they actually sell a spool of these which i'm a-lusting at but not sure makes sense.

    The 2 hole airlflow can be kind of centred on the coil.
    I use just enough wick to touch the bottom of the well. Some use more but you wouldn't want to get wick between af holes and coil. Some perps split the wick evenly both sides of the posts.

    And listen to Uncle Fred when he says listen to Uncle Pigsy.

    View attachment 884099

    thnks.
    i could centre it if i twist the coil a bit.. gonna try to align things with a needle as per ange.
    interesting both o' yous drop the tails away from the screwsgrewvs... toddsrevs specifically suggested doing the opposite.
    my wicks are more like hers now though

    @Letitia have already asked you abt leg length on reload s (assuming sxk is same))? there s much fewer reviews for it and most people don't ssay so i eyeballed it for now pending real info

    all your preaching abt simple stuff_ what's this i found where i's no see you?!:grr:

    You can also do a side to side wick in the Axial rda, which I learnt from a really old old timer ;) @Skunk!
    This is his VAPEROXX mohawks build in the Mass Mods Axial RDA

    Edit: This wick style will block the airflow in the OP's RDA however (according to ppl more knowledgeable than me :wub:)

    Gosh you guys, ya got me all choked up!

    So sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, Charlie. Sending you big hugs, and hoping today is a better day!

    I’m so glad to hear about Monk!

    Rudy is okay,too. He occasionally has tummy issues, this time it was the runs. Ugh. Poor guy is so hairy, it’s quite a thing keeping him clean. That settled down then he started having a little nose bleed. Scared me half to death. I’ve never seen a dog do that.

    Then he had a sneezing fit ( which was really awful on top of the nose bleed). Finally he sneezed out a whole blade of grass. Weird old thing!

    I think he lost a little weight, but otherwise he seems fine.


    I have the sewing machine downstairs so I can work while I keep an eye on him for now. The mowing guy came yesterday and the gardening people today, hoping to get myself together so I can spend the weekend embroidering.

    Love to all!
    Ever since September when Levi passed and I broke my hip Haley has had chronic ......... And yes LOTS of .... baths in the middle of the night. She’s been to her own vet twice and Tufts Vet Hospital 3 times. Always negative.

    ended up putting her on hills Science Diet (not a big fan of but,,,) Prescription I/D diet both small kibbles and canned.

    the ER vet says she should see an internal specialist if it continues but that’s not happening right now.

    now I add sweet potato baby food to her food and it’s cleared up with a day or two.

    my problem is that I like giving her “treats” so I’ve been giving her. It’s mostly sweet potato and probiotics and it works.

    I hope everything works out.

    Gday Virm. Nice to see your many-toothed grin

    Surprised about the Axial - what build are you using?

    same. I’m using the Axial as a double coil and the Reload X is a dream. Haven’t tried the S. With all the love of the Axials I can’t help but think maybe the wicking is off somehow.

    did u do a search here or on YouTube or even on Axial website?

    I love my Dead Rabbit SQ. It's a single coil 22mm flavor banger that's a great dtl vape. Best price I could find is $16.95 here.

    Edit: Found it for less than my original link.
