1- Every time i make dual coils with ribbon wire totalling 0.8 ohms in a mechanical, they suck! Even at low voltage, the flavor seems too concentrated (and bitter?). Some liquids i tried are Boba's Bounty, El Kamino and the likes. Can someone explain to me what is happening? PS: juice feed is perfect and never got a dry hit. Is it that these liquids don't like heat?

2- Why do twisted wire produce better flavor?

3- Why does slow heating produce better flavor?

4- Why the flavor with a big bed of cotton (as in nano dragon coil) is not as good as normal wicking?

5- what produces better flavor, air through the hole of the coil or hitting the the side of the coil?

6- What the hell is a treble and bass, are we all musicians now? I know what they are, but i mean how would a coil affect high notes and low notes. What kind of coils makes the high notes shine (mint, fruits?) and what makes low notes shine (sweets, bakery?) is this real life? I cannot wrap my head around different wires can make different elements in the liquid shine. It is true as experienced by a lot of people, but i never noticed differences and i cannot see the theory behind it. Maybe my taste buds aren't that refined.


Guys, I am not trying to start a debate here. Just trying to understand some things. For example I know from experience and theory that a smaller chamber makes better flavor. This makes sense. But i cannot find reasonable answers to the above questions. I have been vaping for almost 3 years and tried the majority types of vaping gear (ceramic based, kayfun style, taifun style, drippers, gennies, different airhole sizes etc...) and coils. Coils i haven't tried yet are the hybrid twists (mundy's magic, tiger etc...).

1- duals half the ohms you measure per coil, so to get the desired in total you need to roll each coil 2x the desired ohmage. My guess is that too low of a resistance/high temperature over-cooks some juice.

2- twisted such as? (I'm learning my ropes too, so not sure what you mean by this one)

3- My guess is that it doesn't over-cook some juice thus keeping its intended flavor more intact.

4- heats too fast most likely. Lots of cloudy quantity vs quality.

5- No clue on this one.

6- No idea whatsoever :p
