theory questions for you experienced builders

[rufus1138]

hi all, first post in the building forum. heres what i have so far and what i plan on getting to build on/with

currently the fiance and i have a mvp v2 and 2ea. ego 650 c-twist batteries, she has a protank mini 2 and i have an evod, all genuine except the ego sticks, the mvp should be able to fire moderate rda builds at addmitedly low-ish wattage. i will be getting a e-lvt soon and pairing that up with a patriot rda for building dripper setups.

k, here are the theory questions, im an aircraft mechanic and have a good knowledge base about this whole subject without having done it yet. so im wondering, to keep safety a bigger factor than just buying "protected equipment" that is "supposed" to keep you from venting a battery, can you still get good vapor production/flavor by taking advantage of more of the surface area on the deck by building coils from lower resistance wire and simply wrapping them more to get up to a higher resistance. in my mind this would keep you from pulling massive amounts of power in a burst (ie 22 gauge micro coil with 6 wraps, aka a bomb) and give you more vapor by providing more surface area exposed to e-liquid.

so really i guess im asking if anyone here builds this way with mechanicals or vv/vw devices.

The problem with lower resistance wire with greater length, is the greatly increased amount of time to heat the much greater surface area

Yeah I figured it would extend the heating time, have you built any that way, just wondering if there is any benifits or changes with the flavor or th

You might try this contraption that maximizes surface area without compromising heat-up time:

The more wire you put into your coil, the longer it's going to take to heat up. Also, that 6 wrap of 22g is going to come to ~.3Ω... On a freshly charged battery on a mech mod that's almost 60w. You're not going to be able to get the same results running any resistance coil at 11w.

Hey buddy I am also an A&P. Yes you are correct. To me more surface area is not twisting anything the better. Just my take on it.

The e-lvt is a nice device, but I think it's not going to power the Patriot very well. If you really want to use a patriot to its full potential, your going to want a mech or a DNA 30 device. 15 watts just isn't a whole lot on a big dripper like that. An a6 or a mini octopus (squid) rda with a single coil design will probably be a whole lot more satisfying. I think you have to stay above 1.3 ish on the e-lvt.

Fellow A&P here also brotha. I am a big surface area build guy myself. I barely twist. Pm me anytime brotha
