The Radiator shape has less than half the drag coefficient of a cilinder of the same surface area.

Edge on. OK, so how?
You guys are NOT helping!
Here's the triple 28ga Radiator I just made for tomorrow. You asked for triple

Someday, I hope I can get good enough to make one of these. I'd love to try it!

How what?

Cromwell started it.
There's NO doubt you WILL be good enough to.You guys are NOT helping!

Awe that's so sweet Boden!!!!
You guys are making me seriously miss electronics.
If it were sitting transverse to the airflow, it would make sense. But it's longitudinal to the airflow, with a lower drag coefficient. So how is the geometry altering airflow sufficiently to alter efficiency? We already know the length of wire is the same, the mass of wire is the same, only the geometry is different. The resistance is identical, right? So how?
Ahh! That is the question. My guess is that since the air does not go turbulent on the backside a low pressure area covers more of the coil. Also, since the coil is being cooled more evenly the backside of the coil is not overheating and pushing the liquid in the wick away.
Ever put water in a really hot pan? The water just bounces around instead of spreading and being heated.
I'm guessing this because of basic physics and the taste of the vapor which lacks that overheated funk.
Anyone ever try an airfoil configuration? You could sort of form it out of that radiator. Not for lift (obviously) but for altering the low pressure surface area and observing efficiency from the geometry that way. Even place the same coil in different orientations to the airflow and see how it performs.
Besides, the data might help me improve the performance of my bat suit, better to reach the mountain peak of Rixy's lair.
Yes, that would be interesting. Maybe get the "underside" at a tad greater angle, improve the trailing edge, to decrease pressure a bit more to help assure there's enough of a difference to be measurably significant? What do you think?
Don't make the bends too tight or you will run into wicking issues.
And maybe lose some electrons on the sharp turns

Oh, the electrons will be just fine. They'll just have to slow down when they take the tight turn. Worse comes to worse, it pops free and flies across to the opposite coil. It'll make cool blue arcs across the deck.
I want the airflow balanced across both sides. I'm not trying to create lift. I want the boundry layer to be as thin as possible.
Thats exactly why I'm using rounded ends.
Everything ok?Well my life went full Whiskey Tango Foxtrot a few hours ago. Glad to have that sorted...
Time to start some testing and clear my head.

I've been wicking my squonker with SS mesh......amazing flavor even from simple macro coilsDon't worry, not giving up my tanks, and one of these days I'll get around to trying a 100+ watt build.
Love it. Still gotts figure out the best build though. Not crazy about the atty that came with 'em, so right now running 2 Velocity minis. Built one with 26ga Kanthal, single coil straight up the center (between the posts) about .8ohm, the other with dual stainless at .25ohm. (before anybody questions it, yes I made sure I'm safe, still only pulling less than 17 amps at full charge) The first one with a Cherry Vapes Ming drip tip, the second with the chuff cap.
The SS almost burns the juice until the battery voltage drops off a bit, after awhile it starts to taste good, just not so much when the battery is full. The other one tastes pretty good through the whole battery life, but is missing some of the flavors that I get from the SS. So I may try a single SS coil next, not really sure if that is the right approach either though.
