Weisenheimer. I could swear that you keep posting about 3-4 wraps and then you get the ohms I get from 6, is why I asked.... But then again perhaps I just have a giant jumble of posts mixed up in my brain and you never said it.

It's confusing because he said 3 -4 wraps,,,, I took that to be +3 to Negative 4 because it is upsidedown.:img:

Yes, 32 guage Kanthal.

Naturally the length depends on placement of connectors and diameter of the coil around the wick but my results are:

3.5 wraps ==> 1.3Ω
4.5 wraps ==> 1.7Ω

My connectors are about as close to the wick as you can get and my wicks are about 1.9 mm in diameter.
I have little to no measurable resistance in the rest of the circuit (leads, solder joints, etc) but that could also be a factor from one setup to another.

Yes, that's all so true, there are many small factors that will make a difference, its darned hard to compare apples to apples here.

Naw, the inner tube is for the liquid resivoir, the pace between the tubes is the airflow passage. The outer tube just creates a path for airflow to the mouth piece I.E.

Could you reverse the juice tank with the air chamber? It seems that you could use a loop of ss wick and have the inner tube that was the juice tank smaller and could hold more liquid or make it more compact but still easily hold 5+ ml of liquid? You could almost use atty size inner tubing for airflow from the coils

The DSU's I tested had some condensation, but in this design it would be collected and vaped out. Yes the SS should restrict the air flow back into the bottle controlling the vacum that occurs stopping it for flooding. The only problem will be filling it. LOL
I was thinking of a bottom fill plug so you are turning it upside down to fill. This will solve the problem of no vacum during filling. A problem I had on DSUv2.
Dan

to further go with my last reply with reversing the tanks you could put a small threaded hole in the top to have a screw in to fill with a syringe or maybe put in a rubber valve like a football and thread the needle into it

edit:
better yet reverse the air and juice and offset the air tube to connect with the drip tip on top and still have a single ss wick that curves do to the coils allowing you to have the rubber up top to fill with a syringe.. I will test it out for you if you build it :)

That would be the ScubagenV3 =]
