Hi all. Just got my authentic Squape Rs and wondering what build you guys use for flavor on a mech mod? Got it paired on a authentic Nemesis with Sony VTC4. Right now has a .45 ohm build using Royal 26 gauge and flavor is great but think ohms are too low. Advice?
Squape R[s] Build for Flavor on Mech Mod?

With a fully charged battery, you're discharging just under 40 watts... so use that wattage to best effect.
I don't have specs for Royal wire, so I'm using Kanthal A-1 as reference. Is this a single coil build? If it is, the heat flux is very very hot, at 777 mW/mm².
If you raise the resistance, it will lower the wattage discharge and the heat flux will drop... but you lose coil surface area, which is a key factor in vapor density, as is juice VG percentage.
Per Steam Engine... If you build to 0.45Ω with 23 gauge wire, you increase surface area from 44.47 mm² to a whopping 135.3 mm²... and lower the heat flux to a far more pleasant, yet nicely warm 274 mW/mm².
There are hundreds of combinations... thousands actually, but with a mech mod, the first consideration is Ohm's law resistance to wattage parity... then optimizing the build for the wattage available.

With the 26... you might try a .80Ω build. Wattage would be 22 (at 4.2v), heat flux a warm 243 mW/mm² and surface area a pretty decent value of 87.82 mm². Heat capacity would be a fairly low 29.87 mJ/K. All in all... not a bad build.
Not sure I ever used my SqR on a mech, but I like my single coil builds in the 0.6-0.8 ohm range on mechs. If you can't fit the coil in the deck to hit that resistance, 27g wire is the ticket.
3rd vote for a 0.8Ω build for your mech. iirc my favorite was 26awg kanthal 7 wraps 7/64''ID ~0.85Ω. Great coil too cuz the tank and the battery usually ran out together.
