Squape R or Taifun GT New Builder Questions

[Darren Lapierre]

Good Day Everyone,

I just have a few newbie questions. I am looking at purchasing either the SQUAPE R or Taifun GT, both seem like good options for ease of building. I am trying to figure out how to start buiding so I am getting an OHM kit and cotton and all that jazz. What I cant seem to figure out is what wire/pre-built coils I should get. I am going to order from Canvape.com

"Those are the prebuilt coils for rebuildable dripping atomizers and rebuildable atomizers.
The coils are made of Kanthal and Nickel 200, with a diameter of 0.3mm, 0.4mm
They are twisted, so as to reduce the resistance of the coil but still maintain a high coverage on the wick.

Kanthal/Ni200

0.3mm
0.04ohm
0.05ohm
0.06ohm
0.07ohm
0.08ohmKanthal/Ni200

0.4mm

0.025ohm
0.035ohm
0.045ohm
0.055ohm
0.065ohm

Which one of these should I go with?????

I'd say personally that you should start at the beginning with your coils. You'll need 3 things:

24ga/26ga/28ga Kanthal A1, one of each for variety.
Coil jig with various sizes.
Unbleached organic cotton.

Twisted aren't really that useful for the tanks you're looking at, I have used twisted for both and it isn't necessary.

Perfect, thank you.

Also I'd get my cotton from Muji directly.

The UD stuff on that site is likely repackaged Muji anyway and is massively overpriced.

UD do some good stuff but they also have the habit of plastering their logo on everything, calling it vape related and bumping the prices.

I'm not sure you would use 24g with either of those tanks. The resistance is pretty low and they just aren't really meant for low subohming IMO. If you want to try tc with ni200, you would be better off with the Taifun. The SqR doesn't really have the room for nickel coils and the base may not be steady enough. Check the SqR thread to see what folks are doing with tc on it. I know many have had trouble.

I think 26, 27 and 28g wire is good for most RTAs. I used to use a 7/64" drill bit for the W deck of my SqR (2.8mm or so). Anything between 2.4-3.0mm for the Taifun is good. Most of us use rayon or Japanese organic cotton for wicking.

Hope this helps. They are both nice RTAs and easy to learn.

Meh, I use 24g with em all the time, 2.5mm ID, 6 wraps @.5 quick n dirty.

Darren, for cotton you can get Shiseido cotton pads at Shoppers Drug Mart. It sells for about $11.00 for 165 pads, can be found in the makeup area. It is exactly like Muji.

Thank you for all the info.
