My thoughts and you will certainly read different opinions on this issue:
- NI200 or Titanium is much much
less forgiving than Kanthal. Your connections on your RTA or
rda is everything. Kanthal is far more forgiving and easier to build. Even folks who have been building
coils for years with Kanthal say this and that includes yours truly.
- Contact
coils are very very difficult. Use spaced wrapped builds
- It's very easy to snap/break the NI200 or Titanium when you tighten it down to "catch"
- Start with a RDA that has plenty of room on the deck for your increased number of wraps and a single coil build
- Your build should be around 0.20 and this assumes you have enough room for the wraps on your RDA
- You will need to tweak your setting with your device. Tune for taste AND try and insure that TP (Temperature Protection) DOES NOT kick in for the duration of your draw with a properly saturated wick. Easier said than done when you first get started. In a dripper if TP kicks in sooner than it did when the wick was saturated that's your cue to drip drip drip and saturate the wick. That's the way its supposed to work.
That's my quick list of tips and you might be wondering if I'm trying to scare you away /lol /joke and if it's worth it. For drippers (RDA) the DNA40 is a game changer as it eliminates dry hits. Period! That's how I use the technology and the learning curve and mistakes I made are all justified IMHO. Not so much for a RTA with proper Kanthal builds since I never get a dry hit with any of my RTAs using Kanthal so I see no need to switch. Yes I've experimented with my RTAs but It's not worth it for me and their is no difference in the flavor.
Good luck and I hope this helps you in your journey.
