I can use the Boreas now, at 55 watts, but I have to hit it like three times in a row to get it heated up enough to give good flavor. But when it DOES heat up, WOW!

Just curious, what gauge wire are you using?

With the RX200 and Boringass tank, she might make it so thick the fog lights won't penetrate. Maybe I should get a personal radar so I can get around all the obstacles and make her wear a backup beeper so I know where she is. We might even have to give her another title: Darth Lannie, Cloud Maker Extraordinaire. :p

A trained bat?

Seeing eye bat!! I like it. (I really like bats)

Today's build is brought to you in part by Hillbilly Engineerin, makers of things n stuff.

I don't remember! :blink: It's either 24g or 26g Kanthal, 10 wraps, 3mm. It comes out to about .6 ohms. I need to make something with lower resistance for that tank, right? Like .3 or .4? The coils that are in there now are better at higher watts, but all I have to run it on right now is the iStick 60W. I'm actually only using 50W on that, because I don't like running them at max wattage. Something I read somewhere once, and it stuck in my head... plus it's just the one battery. When the Reuleaux gets here, I'll have lots more leeway with the three batteries in it.

Resistance is irrelevant as long as the mod will hit the wattage output you want. 24ga would be pretty slow at that wattage, 26ga a bit better and 28 noticeably faster.

From what I'm finding wire selection is pretty simple. The thicker the wire (including art coils) the more hot air you get with the vapor. So if that hot air helps the flavor use a thick wire. The cost is ramp up time.

If you want less hot air and more vapor use a thinner wire covering the same area (same ID and width)

I find with my summertime melon vape I want a cool dense vapor during the day so I use 30ga.

At night with my new Bavarian Coconut which is more of a bakery flavor a bit more hot air helps lower the sweetness and flavor density and brings out the custard so I'm using 28ga. If I wanted it warmer and thinned out a bit more I'd use 26ga.

You can think of coil design like serving temperatures . You mixed up the ingredients in the juice. The temp you serve it at and how rich or watered down it is makes a difference as well.

So as I do prefer a cooler vape (obviously given my wattage use) I guess that roll of fused Clapton I bought will probably never get used.

At least it was cheap, and I had an Amazon credit to use up.
As your preferences stand now, probably not. That said, you never know what the future brings.

Valid point. I already notice some changes in my vaping pattern. First, I ordered some juice from Verde Valley Vape and didn't realize it was only 12 mg, and I usually vape 24. After a few days with the 12 mg (Ry4, and nice flavor, especially for the price) I went back to a 24 mg Vanilla Tobacco and instant headache. I also find it's not a matter of vaping more, still going through the same 3 ml or so a day. I might have to move over to all 12 mg now, which means my emergency vapocalypse nic supply will last me 40 or so years, a major improvement. My grandchildren will be able to sample it like aged Port.

I also notice my wattage is now up to 15W rather than my usual 10. Then again, my coils are dropping in ohms, but if this change continues, I might be up to using a half dozen batteries a day like Rixy.

Nah, probably not.

Angry today, useless companies, crap service and my Ijoy Tornado got robbed at work and some :censored: backed into my sports car. One of those days family x

Well :censored:. Can't really like that post. Go home, have a vape, make an appointment at the body shop. I don't know about the expense there, but for me body work can cost way too much for even a little work.

And may the Tornado leak all over whoever dared swipe it.

I was once caught in the middle of a mini stampede at the Iowa State Fair. OK, not a real stampede, just a big group of cows I ended up in the middle of. If you push them, they'll move away. And they all drool. Bad. Nothing worse than getting covered in cow drool. Worse than a dry hit.

I'm not a cow person. Unless they're on my dinner plate.
I can think of a LOT of things worse then being covered in cow slober:p

So you're telling me Resistance is Futile? :eek: (I'm sorry! I couldn't help it! :lol::lol::lol:)

If I had money on it, I'd bet it was probably 26g wire I used on those coils. I'm just remembering how thick the wire looked. I should keep a little notebook in my coiling kit, where I can jot stuff like this down.

Yeah, a year ago at this time, I was happily puffing on an EVOD and Protank mini and that's all I would ever need. Now look what's happened. :blush:

My grandmother had a Holstein that was basically a free range mountain cow. She owned a lot of land, no need for fences. Anyway, Sara the cow had an odd habit. Whenever we were working in the valley fields harvesting vegetables in the simmer Sarah would sneek up and take a big old lick up yer back (no shirts) for the salt.

You'd have to jump in the creek to get the cow spit off before it dried.

I think it amused her.

On topic: almost done with the testing for today. It's going fast.
